Hezel 1 review
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m a dedicated nanny with 15 years of childcare experience and a genuine love for being around children of all ages. I bring a ton of positive energy and thrive at keeping kids engaged, whether that’s through play, learning activities, or creative exploration. I believe every child deserves patience, encouragement, and fun while they grow—and I excel at balancing both nurturing care and educational support. I’m passionate about creating a safe, happy, and enriching environment. Please note that English is my second language. I communicate very well via text/google translate but I mainly speak Spanish. If you’re looking for a nanny who is reliable, experienced, and loves what she does, I’d love to connect and support your family!

It is with great pleasure and my highest recommendation that I write this letter for Hezel. Hezel has been our family's full-time nanny for the past 1.5 years. She began caring for our son when he was nine months old, and her impact on our family has been truly incredible. Hezel’s skills as a caregiver are exceptional. She joined us during a nanny-share with our neighbors, where she expertly cared for both our son and their child simultaneously—skillfully managing the complex needs of two boys under the age of one. Beyond her primary responsibilities, Hezel consistently went above and beyond to help our household run smoothly, often taking the initiative to wash dishes and fold laundry. Her proactive nature and strong work ethic are second to none. As a unique bonus, her past experience as a hairdresser was a wonderful perk, as she has given our son all his haircuts! What truly sets Hezel apart is the genuine warmth and love she shows for the children in her care. She is a patient, engaging, and deeply loving caregiver. The bond she built with our son is a testament to her character; he adores her, often asks for her on her days off, and is always happiest when playing with her. We have always had complete peace of mind knowing he was not just safe and cared for, but also genuinely happy and thriving under her watch. Hezel is, in the truest sense of the word, a "super nanny." She is reliable, skilled, and brings wonderful energy to her work. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Ally $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ally, and I recently got engaged and am entering an exciting new chapter of life. As I plan my wedding, I’m also focusing on building a career centered around what I truly love most — working with children and animals. I’m based in the Marina in San Francisco and offer reliable, compassionate childcare, babysitting, dog walking, and pet sitting services. With a professional background in client relations and communication, I understand the importance of trust, dependability, and creating meaningful connections with families and pets alike. My goal is to pursue work that feels rewarding and genuine while supporting local families in my community. Whether it’s caring for your children, walking your dog, or helping make daily life a little easier, I would love the opportunity to help!

Mary L $30 per hour for 1 child

I have an abundance of love to offer a baby. I have 25 years of experience caring for infants ranging from three months to 10 years old. I strictly follow the parents' guidelines, which includes preparing healthy meals, organizing activities to foster the child's proper development—such as outings to parks and libraries—reading to them, and singing to them. I also handle the baby's laundry and light housekeeping.

Marvin $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Marvin! I’m 22 years old and from San Francisco. I currently work as a hairstylist, but I also have a passion for caring for children and pets. I have the most experience with newborns and kids ages 10 months to 5 years old. Coming from a big family where there’s always a new baby around, I’ve grown very comfortable caring for little ones. Some of my favorite activities with kids include dancing, outdoor play, painting, cooking, and even winding down with a good movie. I enjoy keeping children engaged, safe, and happy while helping them learn and grow. I’m also great with pets—I can help with walking, feeding, playtime, and giving them lots of attention. I’m comfortable with all kinds of animals and love keeping them active, happy, and cared for.

Kara $30 per hour for 1 child

In addition to my experience with my younger sister, I have experience with the elderly. In high school I volunteered with them. I read and did a variety of activities. I’m also an experienced dog owner. I grew up with dogs and also have had them in my adult life. I believe my years of experience coupled with my degree in communication makes me uniquely qualified.

"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."

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)."
