Hello, My name is Tatiana, I’m 29 years old. I’ve taken numerous child development courses, in efforts to gain the knowledge to better help support the children I care for. My passion is to create a fun, safe space for children in order to occupy their time, such as art projects, outdoor play, sensory bins ect. I have nannied for several different families for the past nine years. I’m Cpr/First Aid/AED certified, I have my own car (clean record and car insurance), and professional references if needed.

Tatiana was wonderful to work with. She was professional and very caring, our son warmed up to her right away. Highly recommend!

Hello there! I'm Haley, an experienced childcare worker with four years of experience. I'm currently seeking a full-time nanny role or a part-time position. My experience includes teaching infant and toddler classrooms at a daycare, occasional work with older kids, and tutoring at the high school and college level. I studied Data Science at UC Berkeley, and worked as a lab assistant in computer science and data science courses. I can also assist with meal prep and cooking. As a nanny, creating a safe and nurturing environment is my priority. I enjoy my work because I can watch kids grow and develop into amazing human beings, and being a part of that process is so invaluable. Outside of childcare, I like being outdoors or cooking for friends and family. If you're looking for someone to join your family, my inbox is open to messages. I would love to chat with you!

Haley is fantastic. She did great with my gifted and neurodivergent child.

I have about two years of experience caring for families outside and within urban sitter with CPR certification and a clean driving record. I have experience working at a day center and as a teachers assistant with special needs children. I’ve developed strong childcare expertise with managing routines, engaging with children through educational and playful activities. Alongside my work in childcare, I am pursuing a college degree in psych, focusing on child development. However, i am currently taking a gap year. I am also a highly responsible, consistent, nurturing, and supportive individual who takes pride in being apart of children’s lives!

Nat was absolutely amazing, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment she arrived, she was warm, professional, and incredibly attentive. She took the time to understand all of our instructions and followed them carefully, which immediately gave us peace of mind. She was also wonderful with our dog, Brody. Nat was so patient, gentle, and caring with him that he quickly became comfortable in her presence. Most importantly, she was fantastic with our son. Toddlers can definitely have their moments, and our son had a few emotional outbursts while we were away. Nat handled each one with incredible patience, kindness, and compassion. She never seemed flustered and approached every situation with a calm, nurturing attitude that made us feel completely confident he was in great hands. It’s not easy finding someone who is both dependable and genuinely caring, but Nat exceeded all of our expectations. We truly appreciated her attentiveness, communication, and the level of care she provided to our entire family. We will absolutely be using Nat again in the future and are looking forward to having her back. We highly recommend her to any family looking for someone who is trustworthy, patient, compassionate, and exceptional with children and pets.

Hi there! I'm 32 years old. I'm from Brazil and I have 8+ years experience with kids. My experience is with kids from the age 0 months old to 16yo. I'm patient, caring, responsible, flexible, dependable, organized, happy and very positive. I’m actually looking for opportunities for the month of June to help out with summer. I have an open schedule this month while I’m transitioning in my full time corporate job. I look for families that are respectful, mindful, and that values communication. Please contact me and I'd be happy to provide more information. Thank you! ✨

She was professional, on time, and someone I will definitely hire again. Thank you Dèbora!

Hi! I am a young professional working in biotechnology. I started babysitting 7 years ago when I was in college and immediately realized how much I enjoy it! I am also a youth girls softball coach and umpire. I believe that kids should be in an environment where they can expand their minds while having fun! As a sitter, I am attentive and engage with kids, always joining to play imaginative games, sports, dolls, or whatever they are passionate about! In my free time I like to rock climb, play board games, play with my dog, and do embroidery. I have just moved to San Francisco and am looking to build my clientele base! I moved away from a few great families in Los Angeles but am excited to meet new ones!

Alyssa is wonderful! Calm, trustworthy, and super attentive. She is an amazing at playing with our kids and got up to speed on their routines and quirks really quickly when we needed last minute care.

"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)."
