Shainese $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Shai, I am a full time nursing student currently in my last term, working toward a career in pediatrics. I have a strong passion for caring for children and creating a safe, supportive, and engaging environment for them. I have hands-on experience caring for kids in different ages. I have 3 younger siblings, 2 of them being 8 years old who I helped raise, so I’m very comfortable managing routines, multiple children, and different personalities. In addition, through my nursing clinical experience, I’ve cared for ill children ranging from infants to teenagers. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive, and I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident leaving their children in good hands. I can assist with homework, prepare simple meals, and keeping kids active and engaged in a safe way. I have a BLS certification and able to perform CPR when needed. I also have my own transportation and a flexible schedule outside of my school hours.

Isiah $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Isiah — a firefighter/EMT in San Francisco and someone who genuinely loves working with kids. I’m active, social, and full of positive energy, and I bring that same attitude to childcare. I’ve spent years helping families with everything from after-school care to weekend babysitting, including experience with kids on the spectrum. I’m big on creating a safe, supportive, and fun environment — whether that’s playing outside, building Legos, going to the park, doing crafts, or making up silly games that keep everyone smiling. As a firefighter, I’m also very active, love going on little adventures, and enjoy keeping kids engaged with movement, imagination, and conversation. I’d love the chance to support your family, bring good energy into your home, and make your child’s day brighter!

Hello! I’m Celia Gutierrez – your warm and reliable bilingual nanny! I’m based in San Leandro and have been caring for children since 2019. I’m fluent in both Spanish and English, and I specialize in working with newborns, infants, and toddlers. Caring for children isn’t just a job for me—it’s a true passion. I love creating joyful, nurturing environments where little ones feel safe, supported, and happy. Every child is unique, and I take pride in learning their routines, interests, and needs. I help maintain consistent schedules, keep play and rest areas tidy, organize toys, and plan fun, engaging activities—from arts and crafts to outdoor play and nature walks. My goal is always to bring a sense of calm, structure, and positive energy to every day. A few things parents appreciate about me: • CPR & First Aid Certified • Basic Sign Language • Clean driving record & reliable personal vehicle • Excellent references from past families • Bilingual in Spanish & English for added communication and learning If you’re looking for a trustworthy, nurturing caregiver who will treat your child like family, I’d love to connect and see how I can support your household.

“Celia is a very sweet, calm and patient babysitter. She got along immediately with my 4 yr old daughter and kept her entertained playing games and with arts/crafts. Celia is also very flexible and easy to communicate with. I will definitely have her back again!”

"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)."
