Seylin $28 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Seylin. I have several years of experience supporting families through dependable childcare and household assistance. I began babysitting in high school and later coached a children’s soccer team, gaining experience working with children across different age groups while maintaining structure, safety, and positive routines. I also participated in a school mentorship program, where I guided younger students to remain academically focused and make positive life choices. Additionally, I volunteered with children with special needs, assisting with reading, daily activities, and supervised campus outings. I offer babysitting and nannying services, including school pick ups and drop offs, age appropriate activity supervision, and homework support. I also provide pet care, including walking, feeding, and companionship, and I am experienced with dogs of all breeds and sizes. In addition, I am willing to assist with errands, light cleaning, organizing, and general household support as needed. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to maintaining a safe, respectful, and well organized environment for children, pets, and families.

My name is Sandra, and I am a dedicated Nanny, Doula, and Family Assistant with more than 15 years of experience supporting families throughout San Francisco and Marin County.

Saidi $30 per hour for 1 child

I have a strong background in caring for children and supporting seniors with patience, compassion, and respect. As a mother, I have hands-on experience caring for my child, understanding children’s needs, creating a safe environment, and supporting their emotional and educational development. I have also helped care for my elderly family member, which taught me the importance of kindness, attention, and dignity when assisting seniors. My qualifications include experience in hospitality, customer service, and working with people from different backgrounds. These experiences helped me develop strong communication skills, responsibility, organization, and the ability to stay calm in different situations. My personality traits that make me a great caregiver are being caring, patient, reliable, trustworthy, and a good listener. I pay attention to details and I always try to make people feel comfortable, respected, and valued. My talents include connecting easily with people, providing emotional support, helping with daily needs, and creating a positive and safe atmosphere. I believe caregiving is more than just helping someone—it is about building trust, showing compassion, and making a meaningful difference in someone’s life.

Olivia 1 review
$32 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Olivia, I'm 24 years old, and I am a nurturing, compassionate, and grounding caregiver with many years of experience in caring for people ages 18mo - 22yrs. After two years at a University as a Developmental Psychology major, I decided to pursue a career in mental health care. I work with both neurotypical and neurodivergent children and adults, and I quickly adapt to each person's needs as I get to know them better. I love engaging and playing with children in fun and educational ways, and aiding in the growth of children and adults with different neurological, sensory, and developmental needs. I have a lot of patience, respect, and imagination, and I love to encourage imaginative play! I find it most rewarding when children are positively impacted by their community, and when they show progress in their natural environments! I have worked in schools with all different variations of special education and programs, and I take nanny jobs during the summers and holidays. Though I work in schools, I am open to being a full-time nanny for the right family, and I'm always open to one-time gigs! I would love to meet you and your family and see if we're a good match!

So patient and accommodating, our two little ones would not stop raving about how much fun they had with Ms Olivia!

"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)."
