Wren 2 reviews
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Wren I've been caregiving for pets, kiddos, people with social needs, and seniors my whole life! I started petsitting when I was 8 years old, and nannying when I was 11. I worked with seniors with dementia while in school to get my degree in social work, and worked as a full time social worker for years until I realized I prefer a varied schedule and hands on caregiving. I am very artistic and creative and love doing art with kids or special needs adults. I also love organizing and interior design to help make a space work for a persons individual needs. Thank you for considering me!

“Wren has done a great job sitting for my two cats. I have one indoor and one outdoor and I always feel at ease leaving them in Wren's care. The cats have grown to love Wren, as well! I definitely recommend Wren as a reliable, thoughtful sitter.”

Booked by 6 families in Lafayette, CA

Hello! My name is Brianna Tancioco, and I’m a 26-year-old caregiver with six years of babysitting and nanny experience. I originally began caregiving to support myself through college, but over time I discovered how much I truly love working with children and building long-term, meaningful relationships with families. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for children from newborns through 13 years old, including siblings close in age. I’m comfortable managing different routines, personalities, and developmental stages, and I enjoy helping siblings learn how to coexist, cooperate, and grow together. I value consistency, clear boundaries, and positive reinforcement, and I’m happy to help instill good habits like cleaning up after themselves while also stepping in when extra support is needed. Aside from nannying, my hobbies include photography, traveling, and learning about different cultures. I run a photography club called @sf_clickcollective, where I host monthly photowalks and bring people together to explore new places through photography. As for my photography, I post it on @brianna._.clicks I also love learning about different cultures and hope to one day live in Japan. I’m currently studying Japanese and working toward earning my Japanese language certificate so I can continue growing my connection with the culture.

“Brianna was warm and charming and very kind with Zoe.”

$29 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 8 families in Lafayette, CA

Hi! My name is Alma I’m from France, and I speak French and a little English. I love spending time with children and helping them learn and grow every day. In France, I got my BAFA diploma, which is a certification to work with kids. I worked in a recreation center with children ages 3 to 8, where I organized fun activities like painting, outdoor games, and small theater shows. I also helped during snack time and made sure every child felt included and happy. I’ve done a lot of babysitting, from newborns to older kids. For example, I often take care of babies feeding them, changing diapers, and putting them to sleep and I enjoy helping toddlers discover new things through songs, stories, and play. I’m calm, patient, and responsible, but I also bring a lot of energy and creativity. I love reading stories, doing crafts, cooking simple meals, or going to the park. I can also help with light cleaning or organizing around the house if needed. I’m passionate about creating a safe, loving, and fun environment for every child I care for. Parents describe me as reliable, kind, and always smiling. I would be happy to meet your family and give your children the best care possible

“She was super great for my kid ! She even helped build her little train set ! And by the time I got back from my little mommy time alone . She was asleep ! She did so great! Would recommend her 100%”

Booked by 5 families in Lafayette, CA

Patient, bilingual caregiver with 5+ years of childcare experience, including infants under 1, toddlers, and school-age children. I currently work full-time as a Family Ambassador for charter schools in SF and am seeking occasional or part-time babysitting in the evenings and on weekends. I’ve worked with SFUSD, after-school programs, and ABA services, and I’m CPR certified. Families describe me as caring, dependable, and creative. I especially love working with infants under 1, and I enjoy engaging kids through reading, play, and outdoor activities. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, tutoring (in any subject and in Spanish), and bedtime routines. Pet-friendly and reliable, I’d love the chance to support your family and provide safe, fun, and enriching care for your little ones.

“Marieolos was wonderful and spent all night with my friend's newborn so they could get some rest. She was amazing with the baby. We will definitely use her 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."

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)."
