Hi, I’m Julia! I'm a career nanny in SF. I started nannying 12 years ago and never looked back! I truly enjoy getting to know new little ones and their parents. I am enthusiastic about making sure little ones stay safe, comfortable and having fun while their parents are busy. - 15 years total childcare experience in the Bay Area, first as a babysitter throughout high school and then the past 12 years as a nanny. - I've had long-term nanny jobs with children of all ages - newborns, toddlers, preschoolers and elementary schoolers, including families with multiple children. I’m engaging and playful with children at every stage of development. Love snuggles, games, reading, art, outings, etc! - The majority of my jobs over the years have been as a baby/toddler nanny, mostly within the 3 months-2.5 years old range before they transition to daycare or preschool. - I’ve always done occasional babysitting (i.e date night sitting) on the side for all ages! - Experience following napping and feeding schedules, sleep training, preparing bottles, initiating age-appropriate activities, and making adjustments as needed as the baby/toddler grows. - I love spending time outdoors and instilling a love of nature in children, so I appreciate situations where we are able to explore (by transit or on foot - no driving). As an SF local, I’m very familiar with parks, museums, the zoo, libraries, and many music/storytime classes throughout the city, and how to navigate Muni with a stroller! I’m part of a big network of nannies/families in SF, especially near GGP! - I was a full-time in-home tutor/school assistant for a kindergartener, 1st grader, and 2nd grader for a full year of the pandemic when schools were closed in 2[removed]. Education: Associates degree in Psychology (2017) Some relevant college courses I completed: 1. Intro to Child Development 2. Child Psychology 3. Children's Literature 4. Performance of Children's Lit -Most recent infant/child CPR and First Aid class: Nov 2023 at Natural Resources in SF. -Attended SF Nanny Training Day 2026 PLEASE NOTE: - All hrs booked are considered "guaranteed hours" in terms of pay, even if I am relieved early, etc. - If anyone in your home has been sick or exposed to covid, please cancel. I do not consent to working with sick kids. I work with multiple families weekly including infants and want to keep everyone healthy :) I will be transparent about any symptoms I have as well, so decisions can be made together.
“Julia was so great with my 6 month old. He was immediately comfortable around her and happy to play, take his bottle from her, etc. She took the initiative to take him out for an adventure to the park so that he could enjoy the nice day and fresh air. Would love to work with her again!”
Hi! I’m Silvia 👋🏼 I’ve been caring for children for almost 9 years. My experience is mainly with babies and kids (from 4 months old to 7–8 years old.) Experiences: I first started as an au pair in 2016, and again in 2020, and since then I’ve continued working part-time with different families in San Francisco. Right now, part time with two wonderful families, one with a 16 month toodler and another one with a 3 yo toddler, but I am available some evenings/night during the week days and Saturdays I’m friendly, patient, and responsible, and I truly enjoy spending time with kids. I love engaging them through play, arts and crafts, board games 🧩, story time, legos, magnet tiles, and imaginative activities, cooking games 🧑🍳, drawing etc... I’m fully vaccinated (including TDAP), speak English and Spanish fluently. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Business, but childcare has continued to be a meaningful and fulfilling part of my life. I’m also a proud aunt ❤️ of two nieces (2 toddlers ) and a nephew (9 years old) so being around kids has always been a big part of who I am. I’m also great with pets whether you have dogs or cats, 🐶🐱. I dont have allergies.
Hi, my name is Angelina, and I am a fourth-grade teacher in SFUSD. I love working with kids and have experience across all ages. Over the summer, I am available for all sorts of jobs. Please let me know if you have any questions!
“We hired Angelina to watch our son for an evening after an in-person interview. She was SO warm and engaged with him! While we were getting ready, she must have read him no less than 20 books with tons of energy and excitement. I'm so grateful we met Angelina, she's great with kids!”
Hi! My name is Makayla, I was born and raised in San Francisco. I’m 25 years old and started watching my cousins, from infants to teenagers, when I was around 12 years old. I started sitting at 16 and throughout the years I’ve cared for children ranging from 4 months through 11+ years old. Playing with and watching children has always come naturally to me. I enjoy doing activities that they are interested in and always make sure they're enjoying our time together :) In addition, I have experience with children with special needs and have had training with ABA on working with children with moderate autism. References outside of urban sitter are available that you are more than welcome to speak with. I am a public health educator and doula. I played sports all my life and love to interact with kids through physical activities. I also enjoy arts and crafts and fun science experiments! As for pets, I’ve had family dogs all my life and taken care of dogs and cats. Two pets is the most I’ve sitted at one time.
“Makayla was great! Communicative, prompt, easily started playing with our 11-month-old, kept us posted with appropriate updates, and made us feel very comfortable knowing our daughter was in good hands. We're very grateful for her help.”
Hi, I’m Angelica! I’m a recent college graduate of Saint Mary’s and a longtime caregiver based in San Francisco’s Outer Sunset. I’ve worked with children ages 1-16 as a babysitter, tutor, youth summer camp leader, and older sister, and I genuinely love helping kids learn, grow, and have fun. Parents describe me as reliable, patient, energetic, and easy to communicate with. Whether we’re working on homework, doing arts and crafts, baking, playing sports, or simply spending quality time together, I strive to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment where children feel comfortable and supported. One of my favorite parts of childcare is getting kids out and about and creating fun experiences together. I love exploring San Francisco and am happy to take children on age-appropriate outings to places like the Academy of Sciences, the San Francisco Zoo, local parks, playgrounds, beaches, libraries, museums, and other community activities. I enjoy helping kids stay active, curious, and engaged while making lasting memories. A few things families appreciate about me: ✓ CPR certified for infants, children, and adults ✓ Clean driving record with experience transporting children to school, camps, sports, playdates, and activities ✓ Experience caring for children ages 1-16 ✓ Comfortable helping with homework and educational activities ✓ Happy to assist with light household tasks, errands, meal prep, and pet care ✓ Fully vaccinated I understand that every family has different needs, and I’m happy to adapt my approach to best support your household. Whether you need a dependable sitter for date nights, after-school pickups, weekend activities, occasional babysitting, or part-time care, I’d love to help. I’m happy to provide references upon request. I look forward to meeting you and your family!
