Booked by 1 family in Emeryville, CA

I'm Amy, a full-time nanny based in San Francisco with over 5 years of experience caring for infants and toddlers. Since January 2025, I've been working with two families in a nanny share (started when the children were 6 and 9 months old) and will be finishing with them in January 2026. I'm now looking for my next full-time position (40+ hrs/week) with one child, twins, or a nanny share in San Francisco. I'm known for being warm, dependable, and highly communicative, and for creating a calm, nurturing environment that supports early development through reading, music, and engaging routines. I'm also CPR/First Aid certified (July 2024), fully vaccinated, and hold a certification as a Pediatric Sleep Consultant, specializing in newborn care and gentle sleep foundations.

Amy has been taking care of our 2 year old for the last half a year. Our daughter felt at ease and really enjoyed the time they shared. Amy is reliable, always on time and happy to think along in different situations. The daily schedule included a stroll and lunch at the park with lots of playing and interaction with other kids. At home Amy played creative and educative games and read books.

Hi! Thank you for the opportunity to apply, here’s a little about me: I am a recent graduate with a degree in liberal arts - behavioral and social sciences and am in the process of pursuing my second degree. In my free time, I enjoy painting and hiking! I also have over five years paid experience caring for infants, children ages 4-13 and for multiple children at a time (two-four). I am proficient in tasks such as preparing/feeding meals, nap time routine, pick up and drop off to and from school/activities, and establishing fun activities to keep child(ren) engaged and learning new things. I have neurodivergent experience as well and was a treatment analyst for over 3 years for those with autism and ADHD. I absolutely love kids and am super open minded when it comes to any given task. I look forward to hearing from you! P. S I'm also CPR certified :)

Briana was great!

Hello! I have years of experience caring for children from infants to school age. I have experience with daily routines (feedings, nap, and play time), transport to school and activities, organizing games and activities that meet their needs and interest, and communicating closely with parents to provide an overall positive environment. I currently work in the field of ABA within the elementary school setting, supporting children with developmental/learning disabilities, but I’m looking to work with a great family on my free time (after school hours, during school closures, occasional weekends). Let me know if I can help with your child and if you have any questions. Thanks ! :)

Celina babysat our 18 month old (and occasionally our 4 year old) twice a week for 3 months, during a very tricky time Covid-wise. She was wonderful with both kids, as well as professional and reliable with us. We really appreciated her great communication and calm maturity during a very challenging time. We trusted her completely and would absolutely hire her again for our future needs!

Hi - my name is Sinead, I am Irish and have lived in the US for 9 years. While I am new to Urban Sitter I am not new to babysitting. Currently nannying for a sweet 14 month old on Tuesday’s and Thursday - would love to find more work on Monday, Wednesday and Friday! I love being a babysitter and have been watching toddlers and kids since I was 15 years of age. I have worked with children from many different ages - infants up to teenagers. I am an auntie for five wonderful nieces and nephews so I understand how busy family life can get. Ive worked in many different industries over the years so I am no stranger to work as a household assistant and can cook, clean and run errands. I also happy to work with families that have animals.

"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)."
