Hello! My name is Erica 👋 I provide reliable in home childcare with the experience and skill of a preschool teacher. I am currently seeking a part-time morning nanny position while in school to become a kindergarten teacher. I have 4 years of experience working for private families, including two long-term nannying arrangements that lasted more than a year. I taught preschool for 2 years as a lead teacher with a class of students aged 18mo- 5 years old. I am available to start on or after August 24th. My childcare philosophy centers around patience, relationship, and silliness. While caring for children, I am constantly singing, dancing, and finding ways to make a mundane task fun. I view challenging behavior as an opportunity to teach emotional regulation and communication. I believe it's our job to teach children boundaries, so I lead with a firm but kind approach, always shame-free. I enjoy engaging children in intentional activities that work to improve developmental skills. My goal is to get the kids I care for out and about at least once a day, so walks and driving to fun activities (I have a car and am happy to use it!) are a must. I love finding out about the local parks, libraries, rec centers, museums, and music and art classes! Early childhood education is my passion and career focus. I’m currently in school at SFSU, finishing my bachelor's degree and teaching credential.
Hi there! I’m a warm, creative, and self-motivated caregiver with over 20 years of experience as a nanny and babysitter. I prioritize working with families who are fully vaccinated and am excited to connect with those who need evening or late-night (disco nannying!) care. I have worked with newborns to 14 year olds. I’ve worked as a full-time nanny, evening babysitter, and in private schools in NYC and SF. Right now, I’m looking for part-time and consistent evening roles. I love making childcare fun and enriching! Some of my favorite activities with kids include creating art, singing, making music, dancing, baking, and reading stories. I believe the occasional movie night can be a great bonding experience too. My approach to childcare is soulful, joyful, and filled with shared stories and laughter. Fluent in both English and Spanish. Let’s connect!
“Cynthia was lovely! She watched our 10 week old daughter and was very kind and professional. We’d love to have her back. ”
Hello! I’m Judi. I am a 34 year old preschool teacher who loves working with children and is really looking forward to working with yours! I am a teacher and mom to an awesome 12 year old. I am back to Urban sitter after a hiatus and I’m interested in date night gigs and other short term nannying. I have over 15 years of experience working in early education. I currently work full time at an amazing preschool in Glen park. We practice play based learning there and that is the philosophy I use in my interactions with kids. I practice gentle parenting at home and approach all children with the same mindset. I am warm, friendly, reliable and punctual. Thank you for your time and consideration!
“Judy was wonderful with our 9 month old son. Before we left she was already playing with him on the floor and letting him crawl and explore. He had a good nap, a bottle, a snack, and was happy when we got home. She was punctual and a clear communicator. We were so thankful and would recommend her!”

“We’ve been working with Paan for several weeks now, and she’s amazing! She came in the first day and knew exactly how to engage our toddler and feed/burp/soothe our infant with very little guidance from us. She has a very warm and bright presence that is wonderful to be around and is a huge part of why our kids love her. When we need a backup nanny she is one of the first people I text. Thank you paan!”
I’m an creative babysitter, I love make art projects with my kids and teach them how to clean up at the end, I enjoy playing with their toys and take them to the playground if the weather permit.

"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!"
