Alsu $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi - my name is Ally, and I studied education at university, giving me a strong foundation in child development and age-appropriate learning. I love working with kids and have cared for three toddlers at once, keeping them engaged, safe, and having fun throughout the day. I’m patient, attentive, and great at turning everyday moments into hands-on learning opportunities. I’m also bilingual in English and Russian, so I can bring some language exposure into playtime if that’s ever useful for a family. Families can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and genuinely invested in their child’s wellbeing.

Maria $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I've been working with kids for six years now! I am organized, kind and resilient. I have worked with kids from 5 months old to 11 years old during this time. I'm used with the BLW method and Montessori for babies/toddles. I'll always use the positive discipline method with the kids because I believe that is the best way for them to learn about life. I value respect as well as honest and clear communication. I am an active person that loves the outdoors activities. I like doing crafts, playing games/puzzles and cooking with the kids. I believe these activities are really important for the kids development and I'm all for it! I am looking for a full time position. I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you, Maria.

Edward $35 per hour for 1 child

I’m Edward, a French-native caregiver based in San Francisco with over four years of experience in childcare and tutoring. I’ve worked both as a full-time live-in au pair and as a tutor, supporting children in building routines, staying focused with schoolwork, and growing their confidence. I’m known for being calm, patient, and structured, while still bringing positive energy and creativity into daily activities. I really enjoy creating a stable, supportive environment where children feel comfortable, engaged, and encouraged to be independent. I’ve mainly worked with school-age children, but I’m comfortable with a wide range of ages and different personalities. Being bilingual in French and English, I can also naturally introduce language exposure through everyday conversations, games, and activities. I love incorporating outdoor time, creative play, and learning moments into the day, whether that’s helping with homework, going to the park, or organizing simple activities at home. I’m very reliable and organized, with experience managing full daily routines including school pickups, meals, activities, and bedtime. I also have a clean driving record and am comfortable with transportation and outings. Overall, I aim to be someone families can truly rely on! both for the children’s well-being and for creating a smooth, positive daily rhythm at home.

Eva $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Eva. I recently moved to San Francisco after spending six years in Los Angeles. For the past two years, I worked at a private Jewish day school as a teaching assistant and nursery co-lead teacher, where I cared for children ages 2–4 and 6–10. Supporting children's learning, emotional development, and friendships was incredibly rewarding, and I loved helping them grow with confidence and curiosity. Over the past four years, I was also deeply involved in the Orthodox Jewish community, where I spent a great deal of time caring for and engaging with children of all ages through community and family life. Before that, I nannied for a family with two young boys and two dogs for several years during high school, giving me additional hands-on childcare experience. I am warm, calm, patient, and dependable, and I genuinely love experiencing the world through children's eyes. I enjoy creating a safe, engaging environment where children can learn, explore, and have fun. My background in education allows me to incorporate age-appropriate learning, creativity, and emotional support into everyday routines. Outside of childcare, I love cooking, spending time outdoors, and being around animals. I am also a musician, and have been singing and playing guitar for the past 15 years. I grew up playing various instruments, including piano, violin, cello, saxophone, bass, and drums. I am highly organized, efficient, and work well as part of a team. I have a clean driving record and am comfortable driving if a family vehicle is available, although I do not currently own a car.

"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)."
