Hi there! My name is Michaela & I am a 30 year old cis-gendered woman with many years of experience working with children. In my earlier work experience, I worked for YMCA, SF State's Day Care, as well as growing up with a mother as a kindergarten teacher who loved being in the classroom along side her. Currently, I have experience working in healthcare at Kaiser Permanente & UCSF where I gained so much knowledge about mental health, diabetes, hypertension, and more. I worked with mostly adults, which would make me a great caregiver for seniors, as well as have the compassion and empathy needed for any household. I love pets, writing/reading, and being outdoors. I am also currently building my own consulting practice and looking for stable working hours with UrbanSitter. I look forward to connecting soon!
Hi, my name is Naomi and I am a student studying to be Social Worker. I am offering child care of any age, pet care and household services. I have caregiving background through both personal and professional experience. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I am known for being reliable, patient, and kind. I care for my younger brother with autism, other children with different needs, my own child, and my dog. This has given me hands on experience with children of all ages, different needs, and pets. I provide safe, nurturing care, light housekeeping, and can also help with errands. Creating a supportive, trustworthy, and safe environment is always important. I welcome your questions and look forward to helping in any way I can :)
Hello family, I’m Flavia Martins, from Brazil, and I have been working as nanny for about 14 years. I have a lot of experience with newborn, babies to teenager and experience with kids Autistic, ADHD and Special Needs! I use to drive them around, take them to the park and their activities, meal prep, help with homework and I love to be outside and do arts and crafts with kids! My last job I watched two girls, 10 months an 4yo. I worked for this family for about 2 years and now I'm currently looking for one time job, part time job or/and weekends job. I'm very friendly person, easy going, patient and lovely. I also have two kids of my own, one is 17yo boy and my girl is 13yo! I have a CPR and I'm fluent Portuguese language too. I have good references, if you need too.
“Flavia is fantastic all around! She has helped our family several times and is very reliable and dependable. She is excellent with our 3-year old boy and 1-year old girl and they love it when Flavia comes over. Flavia has great positivity and energy and plays very well with the kids. Flavia also communicates very well and is very responsive. Further, she is extremely helpful around the house with any cleaning or chores that could be needed. Highly recommend!”
⸻ Since 2007, I have dedicated my professional life to working with children and supporting their growth, development, and success. My background as a special education teacher has given me extensive experience working with children of different ages, personalities, learning styles, and abilities. Throughout my career, I have developed strong skills in patience, communication, organization, problem-solving, and emotional support, all of which I believe are essential qualities for an excellent caregiver and nanny. Working with children is more than just a job for me—it is something I genuinely enjoy and feel passionate about. I take pride in helping children build confidence, achieve goals, and feel safe, supported, and encouraged in their daily lives. As a special education teacher, I work closely with children who have unique learning and developmental needs. This experience has taught me how to be adaptable, compassionate, and attentive to each child’s individual personality and needs. I understand that every child learns differently and responds differently to situations, routines, and communication styles. Because of this, I always approach caregiving with patience, understanding, and flexibility. I believe children thrive best when they feel heard, respected, and cared for in a positive environment. Over the years, I have worked with students on academic goals, social skills, behavioral development, emotional regulation, and daily life skills. My work requires consistency, creativity, and the ability to remain calm under pressure. I have learned how to encourage children in a supportive way while also maintaining structure and routines that help them feel secure and confident. These same skills translate naturally into being a nanny and caregiver. I understand the importance of creating a stable, nurturing, and positive atmosphere where children can grow emotionally, socially, and academically. One of the things I enjoy most about working with children is helping them recognize their strengths and abilities. I believe every child has potential, and I enjoy finding ways to motivate and encourage them to succeed. Whether I am helping with homework, guiding a child through challenges, organizing activities, or simply spending quality time together, I strive to create meaningful interactions that support their development and happiness. I truly enjoy seeing children gain confidence, learn new skills, and accomplish goals.
Hi! I’m Gabrielle. I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable person who genuinely loves spending time with children. I’ve been involved in my church’s children’s ministry since I was a teenager, caring for children of all ages—from just a few months old through high school. Over the years, that experience has taught me how to connect with different personalities and age groups, keep children engaged, manage routines, and create an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient, attentive, organized, and happy to help with age-appropriate activities, simple meals or snacks, and light household tasks. I’m also very comfortable around pets. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident in the person caring for their children, so I take safety, communication, reliability, and trust very seriously. I truly love kids and would be happy to become someone your family can depend on.
