Hi! I’m Lili, a San Francisco nanny with nearly 4 years of experience caring for toddlers and school-aged children. Families I work with describe me as reliable, warm, and someone their kids genuinely look forward to seeing. I currently work with several repeat families in neighborhoods like Pacific Heights, Cole Valley, Inner Sunset, and the Marina. I recently graduated from San Francisco State University with a degree in Political Science and a minor in Business Administration. My education, combined with years of caregiving, has strengthened my communication, patience, and problem-solving skills. I love creating fun and engaging routines for kids that balance play, creativity, and structure. Whether we’re doing art projects, exploring outside, reading together, or working on homework, I try to create an environment where kids feel comfortable, supported, and excited to learn. I have experience with school pickups, bedtime routines, meal prep, outdoor activities, and helping kids wind down at the end of the day. I especially enjoy working with school-aged children and helping with homework, creative projects, or practicing Spanish through play and conversation. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, fluent in Spanish, and have my own car so I can help with transportation if needed. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help families with light household support such as kids’ laundry, tidying play areas, meal prep, errands, and general organization. Families I work with appreciate that I’m dependable, communicative, and attentive to each child’s needs. I do my best to follow each family’s routines and preferences so kids feel comfortable and parents feel confident leaving them in my care.

Easy to work with and did a great job with our toddler son. Would be happy to work with again.

I have more than 5 years of experience taking care of kids, I’m a pro-active person. I’m really good with kids. I like to play with them, let them learn and explore , also teach them good moral and values. So when they grow up they have the right tools to handle every situation. My biggest dream is to help them to develop their intellectual and emotional intelligence.

We had a great experience! She watched my 8-month-old son, Finn, for an hour in the morning while I dropped off my other kids at school. Finn was happy and comfortable with her, which gave me great peace of mind. She was kind, attentive, and reliable, and everything went smoothly. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy babysitter!

Hello families, I'm excited to introduce myself as a caring and experienced caregiver and educator originally hailing from Brazil. Fluent in both Portuguese and English, my background as an English teacher in Brazil for over 8 years allowed me to not only refine my language skills but also develop effective communication with children and their parents. I am currently looking for a part time position to start soon. If you believe I could be a great fit for your family, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'd be delighted to answer any questions you may have and discuss how I can provide the best care for your children.

Dear wonderful families, Greetings from San Francisco! As a native of this vibrant city, I have been fortunate to grow up in a big family, surrounded by children. These early experiences have shaped my childcare ethics and instilled in me a deep understanding of the joys and challenges that come with caring for little ones. As an energetic and proactive nanny, I take great pleasure in creating child-friendly activities that engage and excite young minds. Sensory play is one of my specialties, as I believe it is crucial to tailor activities to each child's age and developmental stage. Whether it's exploring different textures, colors, or sounds, I strive to provide enriching experiences that foster growth and learning. Being a non-smoker, I prioritize the well-being of the children in my care. I actively promote language development through reading, singing (even if my singing voice isn't the best, I give it my all), and storytelling. Each child is unique, and I find great joy in learning about their individual personalities, tailoring my approach to meet their specific needs and interests. With a vivid imagination, I love to plan spontaneous outings, organize fun playdates, and incorporate music and dancing into our daily routines. Creating a dynamic and joyful environment is my goal, where children can explore, express themselves, and have a blast. Every moment spent with children, regardless of age or special needs, is a source of immense fulfillment and happiness for me. Looking ahead, my dream is to establish my own in-home daycare and become a family consultant. Each day, I work towards these aspirations, taking steps closer to achieving my goals. It is a journey filled with excitement and growth, and I am grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of the children and families I encounter. I am committed to providing exceptional care, nurturing creativity, and supporting your child's development. Together, we can create a loving and stimulating environment that fosters growth and happiness. -Stefany Nini poppins❤️

Stefany is an obvious pro. Great communicator. Highly recommend!

"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

"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)."
