“Marcia took care of our little girl from 6 months old until 2 years old. She's a very warm nanny with 20 years of experience, and it truly shows! She is extremely reliable and always arrives on time, which gave us great peace of mind. Our little one loved spending time with her and playing games. As she grew, Marcia introduced new activities to keep her engaged, like painting, drawing, play-doh, singing, and even helping her cook cakes and cookies. Marcia also gave us the option to speak English, Spanish, or Portuguese to our baby, which was a big plus. She also prepared most of our little one’s meals which was incredibly helpful. I very much recommend Marcia as a nanny. You’d be lucky to have her!”

Kaira $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! My name is Kaira, currently I am in school for nursing and I’ve been caring for children since I was 13. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with infants all the way up to teens, and I’ve loved every stage. From preparing meals and helping with homework to school drop-offs, playdates, and sports practices, I enjoy keeping kids safe, engaged, and supported in their routines. Along with childcare, I’ve also helped with household responsibilities like cooking, cleaning, running errands, and even pet care—I know how much those little extras can make a difference for busy families. Caring for my grandfather in his later years also taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of being dependable. I strive to bring a balance of fun, structure, and warmth to every family I work with. Whether it’s planning activities, helping with daily tasks, or making sure your kids feel safe and happy, I’m excited to be a trusted support for your household.

Booked by 2 families in Castro Valley, CA

Hi everyone! My name is Sophia 😊 I’m a Business Management major at University of San Francisco, and currently living in SF. I’ve been working with kids since I was 15 as a home daycare assistant, Kumon tutor (K–12), Boys & Girls Club volunteer, and I work as a server. Because of this, I’m comfortable caring for children from Pre-K through middle school. I’m patient, responsible, and great at keeping kids engaged while making sure they’re safe. I’m also an older sister, so caring for kids comes naturally to me. I’m Filipino and fluent in If you’re interested, please message me for more info.

“Sophia did a great job taking care of our children, aged seven and nine. She arrived on time and was friendly and professional. The kids loved her! They played a lot of fun and creative games, and the kids had a blast! She kept them on schedule with dinner and bedtime, and both kids were asleep in bed 30 minutes before their bedtime. Our dog, who is a little scared of strangers, immediately trusted her and stayed by her side until we got home. Sophia also did a great job straightening up and doing little chores around the house. We highly recommend Sophia, and would love her to babysit again ”

"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."

"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)."
