Andria $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Andria, and I’m originally from San Francisco and now residing in the East Bay. I come from a large, family-oriented background where I’ve spent years caring for children of all ages, which naturally led me to expand my services into professional childcare, pet care, and household support. I’m dependable, nurturing, and very hands-on. I take pride in creating a safe, positive, and organized environment whether I’m caring for children, assisting seniors, or helping maintain a home. I’m also great with pets and comfortable managing multiple responsibilities at once.

Siana $21 per hour for 1 child

Nurturing a child's curiosity and watching their unique perspective on the world unfold is my true passion. With four years of experience caring for children (4 1/2 years as an after school teacher and 1 year as a babysitter) I offer a patient, calm, and creative environment for ages one through 12. I hold First Aid Training and CPR Training certifications to ensure a safe space for your family. Whether we are engaging in outdoor sports, solving puzzles, or exploring creative crafts, I love fostering growth and teaching children how to navigate their emotions with kindness. I am happy to assist with meal preparation, carpooling, and housekeeping while strictly adhering to your household rules. I prioritize your preferred communication style, whether through texts or end-of-day chats, to keep you fully informed.

Rae $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m new to UrbanSitter, but I’ve worked with children for years through babysitting, camp counseling, and volunteering at the Boys & Girls Club. I'll be starting my Master’s in Teaching at USF in the fall, which I’m incredibly excited about. I graduated with my bachelor's from USF with highest honors last May. I’m open to both recurring and occasional positions, including summer help, after-school care, date nights, weekends, school pickups, homework help, and general extra support for busy families. My schedule is very flexible and I’m happy to adapt to what your family needs most. I’m naturally a very warm and gentle person, and I care about creating an environment that feels calm and comfortable for children. I love outside time, crafts, reading, baking, and finding ways to make things feel fun and engaging (without relying too heavily on screens). I want the children I’m caring for to feel safe and happy to spend time with me!

"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

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."
