Maria $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Maria, and I’m a 23-year-old graduate of the University of California, Santa Cruz. I offer childcare, pet care, and light household support, and I have several years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages. From 2016 to 2020, I taught horseback riding to children ages 4–18, while also babysitting regularly. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I worked as a full-time nanny and homeschool educator for two children, ages 5 and 7, supporting them through online learning. After that role, I served as an Assistant Director for a youth program at UC Berkeley. Throughout college, I also nannied for a one-year-old, gaining experience with infants and toddlers. I genuinely love working with kids and strive to create a safe, supportive, and fun environment where children can feel comfortable being themselves. I have a reliable car and experience with school pick-ups, drop-offs, and transportation to activities. In addition to childcare, I have experience with pet care, particularly cat sitting, and am happy to provide household assistance such as cleaning and laundry as needed. I look forward to connecting and hopefully becoming a helpful and trusted support for your family!

Brenda $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Brenda! I am in my last semester at San Francisco State University, completing a Bachelor’s degree in French Language & Literature with a minor in Mandarin Language & Literature. I am fluent in Spanish and French, with strong communication skills that allow me to support children in learning, homework help, and even language practice. I have hands-on childcare experience through helping at my church with toddlers and young children, where I organized interactive activities, playtime, and snacks. Families describe me as patient, responsible, and creative. I enjoy reading with kids, crafts, outdoor play, and helping with schoolwork. Alongside childcare, I offer household support such as light cleaning, laundry, errands, and meal prep. My volunteer work at a food pantry also shaped me into a dependable and compassionate person who enjoys serving others. I am excited to bring my positive energy, reliability, and nurturing personality into your home while creating a safe and supportive environment for your children.

Edward $35 per hour for 1 child

I’m Edward, a French-native caregiver based in San Francisco with over four years of experience in childcare and tutoring. I’ve worked both as a full-time live-in au pair and as a tutor, supporting children in building routines, staying focused with schoolwork, and growing their confidence. I’m known for being calm, patient, and structured, while still bringing positive energy and creativity into daily activities. I really enjoy creating a stable, supportive environment where children feel comfortable, engaged, and encouraged to be independent. I’ve mainly worked with school-age children, but I’m comfortable with a wide range of ages and different personalities. Being bilingual in French and English, I can also naturally introduce language exposure through everyday conversations, games, and activities. I love incorporating outdoor time, creative play, and learning moments into the day, whether that’s helping with homework, going to the park, or organizing simple activities at home. I’m very reliable and organized, with experience managing full daily routines including school pickups, meals, activities, and bedtime. I also have a clean driving record and am comfortable with transportation and outings. Overall, I aim to be someone families can truly rely on! both for the children’s well-being and for creating a smooth, positive daily rhythm at home.

Katia $33 per hour for 1 child

Hello My name is Katia, and I would love the opportunity to support you and your children. I have experience teaching Spanish and math, as well as caring for children from 6-month-old babies to school-age kids. I genuinely enjoy creating a warm, fun, and structured environment where children feel safe, engaged, and encouraged to grow. My current position is ending in mid June, so I’m looking for a new full-time role. I am also a student and attend classes in the evenings, which allows me to be fully available during the day. I’m responsible, patient, and dependable, and I would be happy to share references from the families I’ve worked with. If you feel I might be a good fit for your family, I’d love to talk more about your needs and schedule. Please feel free to reach out anytime.

"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."

"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)."
