Alice $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Alice, 2023 UC Berkeley graduate. I'm an electrical engineer by trade but I'm looking to work more with kids because I love to do it :) I've been babysitting, tutoring, and coaching kids since I was a kid myself. I love to be outside and would be more than happy to spend time with your kids outside and off screens!

$35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 7 families in Emeryville, CA

Hello families, and thank you for reading. My name is Paula, and I am a calm, organized, and dependable nanny with over nine years of experience caring for children, with a strong focus on infants and toddlers. I have worked with families in both short- and long-term roles and bring a nurturing, consistent, and intentional approach to childcare. I am deeply committed to supporting children’s emotional, physical, and developmental growth and find great fulfillment in guiding them through their early years. My caregiving style incorporates Montessori- and Waldorf-inspired practices, child-led play, and nonviolent communication, always honoring each child’s unique needs and developmental stage. I prioritize minimal phone use during working hours and focus on hands-on, screen-free activities that encourage creativity, curiosity, and independence. I believe in learning through play—getting outside, getting messy, exploring nature, creating art, and allowing children the freedom to discover the world through their senses. In addition to my professional childcare background, I am currently training to become a doula, which has strengthened my knowledge of newborn care, infant development, and family support. I am also taking classes at City College of San Francisco. I am a former au pair on both the East and West Coasts, and I have also nannied in my home country, caring for up to three children at a time. I currently live in San Francisco’s Mission District and am seeking part-time and one-time care opportunities, including occasional babysitting and short-term support. I hold a valid work and travel permit, am CPR and First Aid certified, and am fully vaccinated (COVID, flu, Tdap). I look forward to connecting and supporting your family with care, creativity, and intention. Warmly, Paula

Paula is an absolute gem. She watched our 18 month old daughter part time for a few weeks leading up to our cross country move. Our daughter immediately took to her and was thrilled to see her anytime she came over! Paula’s calm nature really puts toddlers at ease. We can’t wait to see Paula again when we come to visit SF.

Maria Camila $35 per hour for 1 child

I’ve built wonderful relationships through childcare — more than being a nanny, I truly enjoy becoming part of the kids’ world and playing with them. What makes me happiest is seeing them have fun and feel safe. I’m very empathetic, patient, and proactive, and I love to support the family whenever possible — whether it’s helping with light tasks or simply creating a calm, positive environment at home.

Carmen $33 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Carmen and I've lived in San Francisco since 2007. I have also worked as a nanny in Texas. I am looking to take care of a child in the city. The most interesting experiences I've had in my career was being a live-in nanny for 3 years for a famous NFL family and another time I was a live-in nanny for a famous Latino singer for a year. All experiences were great and I enjoyed every moment of them.

"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)."
