Hi everyone! I’m a warm and reliable nanny with 3 years of experience and genuine love caring for babies and small children. I’m patient, calm, and very attentive. I keep your baby safe, by being nurturing, and creating an engaging environment. I’m comfortable with feedings, sleep routines, and play that supports their development. I like going on walks as it is a great way to change up the vibe or setting. I also love to stay active and babies tend to sleep in their stroller. Additionally, I’m also good at household related tasks like meal prepping, tidying or preparing lunch boxes. (For those just looking for an hour or 2 of help around the house.) I value communication and follow your style and preferences. I aim my best to provide updates so you feel connected while you’re away. I’m so excited to connect with you and learn more about your family/home— please feel free to message me and I will answer as soon as my schedule allows me to! Thank you!

She was so professional, helpful and warm. She did the morning routine and drove the kids to school. We can’t wait to have her back.

Hello, I have a strong background working with children both as a nanny and babysitting, as well as working with children with ASD, behavioral issues, and special health concerns in both home and school settings. I have experience with children from under 1 years old all the way up to 18, and have worked with multiple children bat once. I love being around kids and working with them, they bring such joy.

Esra 3 reviews
$40 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Emeryville, CA

Hi! I’m a loving, reliable, and energetic nanny with 6+ years of childcare experience. I’m originally from Istanbul, Turkey, and I first came to the U.S. as an au pair, which gave me the opportunity to become part of a family while caring for their children. I have a warm, playful personality that makes connecting with children come naturally to me. I love creating fun and engaging days through outdoor activities, walks, reading, creative play, and age-appropriate learning. One of the most rewarding parts of my job is watching children grow, reach new milestones, and develop their own unique personalities. I value building a strong relationship with the entire family, not just the children. Trust, communication, respect, and teamwork with parents are very important to me. I’ve been fortunate to build wonderful, long-term relationships with the families I’ve worked with, and I hope to find another family where I can become a trusted, caring, and valued part of their lives.

👋 If anyone is in need of the most reliable, clean, energetic, positive, responsible, engaged nanny we’ve ever met, please pick Esra! Esra has been working for our family for 8 months and we hoped to work with her for a lifetime but are unexpectedly moving. Esra is our 14 mo old daughter’s best friend - she lights up our day when she walks in the door. She plays with our daughter every second of the day and takes her to the park to play with other children 2x per day. She is proactive in teaching our daughter new things and shares ideas with us for child development. She cooks and prepares all of our daughter’s meals which started with homemade purées and has evolved into full meals. She is tidy, and leaves the house as she found it every day. She is always on time, smart, driven, speaks good English, and communicates well. Our nanny partnership has been a great investment for our daughter - we couldn’t haven’t had life here in SF any other way. Our heart breaks leaving the city because it means we must leave Esra. We hope she finds an amazing new family.

Booked by 7 families in Emeryville, CA

Hi! My name is Yasmine. I have hands-on experience working with children as a daycare assistant, where I helped with daily routines like feeding, playtime, and nap schedules. I love creating a safe, caring, and fun environment where kids can feel supported and thrive. I'm currently taking a class to become a hairstylist and working on getting my CPR and First Aid certification. I'm always looking to grow and learn new skills—especially ones that help me care for others. In my free time, I enjoy going to the gym, reading, spending time with my family, and deepening my relationship with God. I also love animals and would be happy to help care for family pets! I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy caregiving—whether it’s for children, seniors, or pets. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and make your child’s day a little brighter!

Yasmine is wonderful. She was so engaging and confident with our kids and jumped right in to get to know them and play with them. Our toddlers really loved having her here. And she tidied up our home too. She has a very calm and caring presence. We will definitely be reaching out to Yasmine again in the future.

Tenzin 1 review
$40 per hour for 1 child

I'm a loving and patient nanny with over 12 years of experience caring for children from diverse backgrounds. I'm Tibetan born and raised in India and fluent in three languages, I focus on nurturing each child's unique personality with kindness and respect. Guided by my Buddhist values, I create a safe and positive environment where children feel loved and can grow at their own pace. My naturally friendly, patient, and creative personality allows me to connect easily with kids, creating a safe, warm, and engaging environment where they can thrive. I believe in open and honest communication with parents, and I'm always happy to provide updates in the way that works best for you-whether it's a quick text, a detailed conversation at the end of the day, or anything in between. I respect and follow household routines and rules while also encouraging children to explore their independence and express themselves freely.

Tenzin is one of a kind and I have interviewed almost all of the nannies on urban sitter including on sight trial days with about 150 of the higly rated nannies. I am not kidding, I am very picky when it comes to child care... She is full of compassion, empathy and kindness. She comes home with full of positive energy every single day. She is very smart, emotionally very stable, she is extremely patient with kids. She makes every moment a fun, engaging and memorable moment with her creativity, positivity. She is full of positive energy. She turns tough moments into fun moments, It is hard to explain her greatness with these simple words... The world needs more people like Tenzin. If every child had a caregiver liked Tenzin the world would thrive!!! Tenzin makes exceptional expected. She is a baby charm, child magnet or what ever you call... She worked with us for 2 years, she raised my son with really good manners, she taught my son English and she raised my baby girl putting a lot of effort not to even make them get upset, not even close... Let your child meet her, spend time with her, it will make a huge difference, your child deserves this experience, it is much more full filling and much more fun then the Disneyland ;) I am surprise I am the first one to write her a review here on Urbansitter, she is very humble to ask for a review...

"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)."
