Alleesha $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Al'leesha, and I've been dedicated to childcare for 10+ years, supporting children and families with a blend of compassion, structure, and professional expertise. I am currently a Mental Health Counselor, and I specialize in social-emotional development, behavior support, and helping children feel seen, safe, and understood. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology. Throughout my career, I've worked in classrooms, homes, after-school programs, and therapeutic settings-giving me a deep understanding of how to meet children exactly where they are. What truly fuels me is my passion for working with kids. I love creating nurturing, fun, and emotionally supportive environments where children can learn, grow, and express themselves confidently. Families describe me as patient, reliable, intuitive, and someone who genuinely cares about their child's well-being and development.

Ania $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Ania! I’m a responsible, dependable, and caring individual based in the Bay Area. I recently graduated college and have experience working with children in school settings as well as in customer service roles, which has helped me build strong communication, patience, and problem-solving skills. I’m passionate about helping others and creating a safe, positive environment for families. Services I Offer I offer childcare, pet care, and household support services. I’m flexible, reliable, and happy to help families with their daily routines and needs. Child Care I have experience working with elementary-aged children through my school-based work, and I’m comfortable caring for toddlers to pre-teens. I enjoy building connections with kids and making sure they feel safe, supported, and engaged. Some activities I enjoy doing with children include arts and crafts, reading, helping with homework, outdoor play, and creative activities that keep them learning and having fun. I also offer homework help, basic tutoring, and light meal/snack preparation. I’m patient, attentive, and good at managing routines and transitions. Pet Care I have experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m also comfortable with larger dogs and pets that shed, and I understand the importance of patience and consistency when working with animals.

Lauryn $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Lauryn and I recently graduated from Arizona State University with 2 Bachelor degrees in Psychology and Criminal Justice! While being a student at ASU I was a full time nanny for child for 2 years. I watched him grow and develop from 2 months old all the way to 2 years old! When I had free time on the weekends I often would watch other children as well, and build close bonds with them. In my free time I enjoy doing hot yoga, watching reality TV, and hanging out with friends! I’m also CPR certified!

Sienna $45 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sienna and I've been nannying for over ten years. I grew up in Boston, where I worked in the infant room at Epiphany School caring for babies from one month up to eighteen months, so bottles, naps, diapers, and tummy time are all second nature to me by now! I've also spent plenty of time with older kids over the years, so siblings are always welcome company. I moved out to San Francisco about a year ago and live in Pacific Heights. I recently transitioned out of a role in private equity, which means I have a lot more free time and flexibility than I used to - I'm excited to put it toward something I've always loved doing. I'm patient, warm, and a big communicator; you'll hear from me during the day and get the full rundown at pickup. I went to Dartmouth College and I'm starting business school at Stanford in fall 2027, so I'm in the Bay Area for the long haul and would love to find one family to get to know and help whenever I can. Outside of work, you'll usually find me biking, hiking, or trying new restaurants around the city. Infants are my favorite age, and I feel lucky that this is the work I get to do. I'd love to meet your family!

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Alameda, CA

Hi, my name is Gabby! I am currently in school working toward becoming a registered nurse, with the goal of specializing in pediatrics. I have a strong passion for working with children and have experience caring for kids of various ages through both agency placements and private families. I am patient, reliable, and able to adapt to different routines and needs. I truly enjoy working with children and creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment for them. In addition to childcare, I am happy to assist with light housekeeping, errands, and pet care as needed.

I highly recommend Gabriela. She is warm, communicative, and very responsible and reliable. I'm always nervous about introducing my kids to a new babysitter but they bonded with her instantly. She really has a way to putting kids at ease and quickly building rapport. That, combined with her great communication skills and professionalism, makes her a rare find!

"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)."
