Sara 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

“I am a mom of two beautiful daughters; my oldest is 13 years old, and my youngest is 10. I worked with one family for 3.5 years until they moved. Currently, I am helping a two-year-old with special needs, but I am looking for more hours to support my family.” Thank you!

Sara is absolutely wonderful! We were so lucky to find her. She is punctual, hard working, VERY organized and really cares about the smallest details. She is also very active, likes to come up with activities for the kids and always takes them to the park or on walks. One of our kids is special needs and has many therapy appointments. Sara kept me updated about his therapist’s recommendations and implanted them whenever I was at work and couldn’t attend. Highly highly recommend.

Ally $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ally, and I recently got engaged and am entering an exciting new chapter of life. As I plan my wedding, I’m also focusing on building a career centered around what I truly love most — working with children and animals. I’m based in the Marina in San Francisco and offer reliable, compassionate childcare, babysitting, dog walking, and pet sitting services. With a professional background in client relations and communication, I understand the importance of trust, dependability, and creating meaningful connections with families and pets alike. My goal is to pursue work that feels rewarding and genuine while supporting local families in my community. Whether it’s caring for your children, walking your dog, or helping make daily life a little easier, I would love the opportunity to help!

Erin $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Erin, and I am interested in being a part to full time nanny or providing occasional babysitting for your family. I have 15 years of professional experience working with kids as little as infants and young people as old as 17. I can provide written and/or oral recommendations from all past positions. I have over 5 years of formal classroom teaching experience, and over 10 years of after school and summer programming experience. I have worked with children across the country from Washington D.C. to Kansas City to Tucson and the Bay Area. I have taught English Language Arts, Science, Math and History to a variety of age groups. Throughout my time as a teacher I also gained invaluable skills in helping young people develop socially and emotionally. It is important to me to work the whole child and whatever setting I find myself in. I grew up in the Bay Area and am happy to return here to look for work and build community! As a babysitter and nanny I am always excited to: help kids with their homework, provide tutoring to get ahead academically, play safely outside, play all kinds of games, make meals, read stories, do arts and crafts as well as much more. I am comfortable watching up to three children at the same time; for up to twelve hours at a time. I have my own vehicle, and I can easily provide safe and reliable transportation. I hope to hear from you soon! Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.

Aimee $30 per hour for 1 child

My name is Aimee, and I'm a UC Berkeley graduate born and raised in LA. I've worked in education for 10 years with K-12 students and have experience providing childcare for ages 3 and up. With thorough training, I’ve supported children with a range of physical, emotional, and intellectual abilities. I'm very open to working with upper ages as well, for support / learning / companionship. My favorite subjects to teach have always been history, creative writing, and art - but I have worked and tutored in all subjects. I'd be happy also to facilitate creative time around art, cooking, movement or slower meditative time if needed. I'm available for kitchen, errands, driving, light cleaning / organizing support as well. I'm friendly, patient, curious, discerning, thorough, and communicative. I’m always happy to find the right balance of warmth and structure to best support any family. I am allergic to cats, smoke, and heavy scents but am ready to help in environments where these factors are not a concern.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
