I’m a nanny with 8 years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and young children, and I have full weekday availability throughout May for short-term, backup, and last-minute care. I’m especially confident with infants and early development, and I’m currently continuing my education in doula training, which has strengthened my knowledge of newborn care and postpartum support. My approach is calm, attentive, and engaging—I focus on creating a safe, nurturing environment while supporting routines and keeping children active with age-appropriate play, outdoor time, and simple activities. I’m reliable, flexible, and comfortable stepping into new environments quickly, making me a strong fit for families who need dependable daytime support on short notice.
“We were anxious about finding a caretaker, as our son had been home with us since birth. We took a leap of faith by requesting a nanny through UrbanSitter, and we are so thankful Alani responded. From the day we interviewed her, she impressed us with her punctuality, respect, and confidence, which are all qualities that have carried through in her care. Alani is patient, loving, and kind (and hip!). She is always attentive and present with our son, and we quickly came to trust her, even with taking our family car on toddler-friendly outings. Our son adores her and always looks forward to seeing her. We especially appreciate the developmentally-appropriate toys and activities she introduces. His speech and social skills have grown tremendously. She is reliable, a great communicator, flexible when needed, and overall the perfect fit for our sweet boy. We feel so grateful to have her and look forward to continuing to have Alani play such a special role in our son’s life.”
Hi Parents- My name is Destiny and I am a former garden educator at Emerson Elementary. Currently at Urban Farm Oasis. I’ve been working with kids since I was 14, ranging from infants to teens. I’ve worked with many families in the SF/Bay area for nearly a decade, with children of many ages. I also have experience as a tutor and would love to do educational activities and or help with school work. I have a calm energy, lots of patience, am reliable, love being outdoors, reading and imaginative play! I am CPR certified, certainly pet friendly, and like to crochet, adventure, and cook in my spare time. Looking forward to meeting you!
“Our kids 3 and 6 loved spending the day with Destiny, they explored GGP together”
Hi! My name is Savannah. I recently graduated with a degree in Biochemistry and am currently working while preparing my applications for medical school. I've been caring for children since I was 15 and have experience with all ages from newborns to 15 years old. I've worked with large families (up to five children at once), twins and multiples, and I also have experience as a night nanny. Supporting children with special needs is especially close to my heart, my younger brother, who is 15 years younger than me, is on the autism spectrum, and that's shaped both my understanding and my approach as a caregiver. I'm CPR and EMT certified, and I'm happy to help with everything from date nights and tutoring to outdoor activities and daily routines. I genuinely love working with kids and creating a safe, supportive, and engaging environment for them to thrive in.
“Savannah was great with our 4-year old. Punctual and great communication. I look forward to her sitting for us again soon!”
Hi! My name is Toyosi. I was born and raised in Chicago and moved to San Francisco last year for medical school. I graduated from Princeton University in 2021, and I currently attend UCSF School of Medicine. I have always loved working with children, and I have been babysitting since high school. I am also interested in pursuing pediatrics after medical school. Outside of school (and babysitting), I enjoy reading, watching and playing soccer, practicing yoga, and taking long walks along the beautiful streets of San Francisco. All in all, I am a very genuine, kind, and thoughtful individual, and I always strive to provide my very best in my work and care for others. I hope to work with you soon!
“Toyosi is a delight! Reliable and my boys loved her. ”
Hi! My name is Kerry, and I have over 15 years of childcare experience. I’m an energetic & caring 30 year old San Francisco native & have worked in a variety of childcare roles with all ages including babysitter, nanny, and a Montessori assistant. I am currently an education major. I am passionate about kids & do my best to provide my undivided attention to ensure fun, safe, and stimulating interactions. Some of my favorite babysitting activities are playing outside, reading, art, and being silly with our imaginations. Please reach out for more information or to set up a meet! I look forward to hearing from you!
“I highly recommend Kerry. She was communicative before arriving, asked great questions, and my kids felt comfortable with her immediately. It gave me extra peace of mind knowing she has professional experience working with children at schools.”

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
