Hi! I’m Ro, from Argentina. I’m a kindergarten teacher! I’ve been living in San Francisco for almost 2 years taking care of children. I really like and enjoy been around kids! I have a lot of experience with children from 6 months to 5 years old, but I also enjoy to play with older children. My favorite activity to do with the children is to play, build and do many arts and crafts! I have the CPR certificate.

Hello! Nice to meet you! My name is Nicole, I am a current college student and offer child care, pet care and housekeeping services. Some skills I have include painting, arts and crafts, playing sports such as basketball and football, martial arts, and dancing. I also provide household services such as cleaning, organizing, laundry, and cooking. I love being a child caretaker and making them smile and having fun with them! I have several years of experience in taking care of children especially preschoolers and the ages of 4-6. I also had experience teaching elementary school children about healthy living and have experience tutoring children. I also have several years of experience taking care of pets such as dogs, rabbits, and birds as a pet owner.

“Nicole exceeded all of my expectations. My son can sort of take advantage of new sitters but she did amazing. She jumped right in starting playing with him, helped make dinner so I could get ready, gave my son a bath (which wasn’t a requirement nor did I think he would want one), and got him AND his best friend to bed. Both children under 4. She was communicative the entire time she was at my house. My son woke up in the morning asking where she went because he wanted her to stay. Will definitely be using her again in the future. ”

Hi, I’m Leticia, and I’ve been taking care of children for over 7 years. Being around them reminds me that life can be light and fun. One of the things that I love most about being a nanny is seeing the world through their eyes, and also knowing that I’m helping a little person grow and develop brings purpose to my job. I have experience with children from infants to 12 year old, caring for kids of different ages and twins. I like to get to know the child I’ll be caring for so I can plan some activities based on what they like, but I also love spending time outdoors and doing creative activities like arts and crafts, pretend play, music, story time, etc. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, a responsible driver, a non smoker, and pet friendly. I value open communication with parents and always try to create a warm, trusting relationship with the families I work with. I would love to talk more to get to know each other better and answer any questions you may have!

I’m a nanny and early childhood educator with over 9 years of experience, caring for children of all ages — from infants to school-age kids. Experience includes: • Nanny in Brazil in the U.S., and Chile (+ than 5 years) • Au pair in the U.S (San Carlos CA) • Teacher assistant in early childhood education These international experiences helped me develop strong communication skills and a deep understanding of different family cultures and parenting styles. Qualifications: • Degree in Early Childhood Education (Brazil) • Fluent in English and Portuguese • Basic Spanish I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and educational environment. I’m responsible, caring, and truly committed to supporting each child’s growth and happiness. I joined Urbansitter in 2020, but soon after returned to Brazil and recently moved back to the U.S., which explains my limited reviews. I’m now excited to be active again and fully available for babysitting.

I have grown up taking care of animals, whether that involves caring for dogs or cats. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I enjoy being able to provide high-quality care for people who are looking for pet sitters and want their animals to receive the same level of care I would provide for my own pets. I have experience caring for dogs and cats through the Rover app. I have had a total of eight clients, two of whom have become recurring clients. I have also spent time caring for my grandparents, although I do not have extensive experience caring for seniors outside of my family. The qualities that make me a good fit for senior care include empathy, patience, and the ability to provide a calm and reassuring presence.

“Professional, detail oriented and pleasant to work with!”

"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!"
