NOTE - at this time I am already committed to a family in the after-school time period. I do often take jobs outside of what you see on my calendar - just inquire! I'm looking for work in the childcare field because really, I like spending time with kids. When I had to think what I most like to do with young people, it is having conversations with them. I find it incredibly enjoyable, enlightening, and often, hysterical to hear what children have to say. Looking after children is something at which I felt I was always very good. It comes easily to me and I am extremely comfortable around children, from infants to teenagers. My life has really come full circle, back to children. Out of college I worked for many families for nearly 15 years as a sitter, while I eased into the graphic design field as a freelancer. After 25 yrs in that field, my role was becoming obsolete, so I naturally and easily slid back into childcare for the past many years. I am proud of the relationships I've developed with the children AND their parents - many have become close friends. I am very much a mature grown-up. Childcare is my primary work and focus. I show up. Extremely rare for me to cancel. I am single, with no children - just the mandatory cats we single women are obligated to have. I have loved living in San Francisco for 35+ years, graduating from USF and the Academy of Art University with a BFA degree. For 35+ years I have lived in the Inner Richmond in the same home. I'm passionate about traveling, baking/eating, movies, crafting. I believe you will find me to be a good listener, particularly to what you, the parents, are telling me about your child and his or her care. I am patient, easy going, but not a pushover. I firmly enforce house rules when needed. I love reading children's books and doing creative projects of all kinds. Trips to the park are high on my to-do list. I'm very Muni adept but love to walk too. I'm probably not nearly as tech-knowledgeable as an average 8 year old, but I do my best and am always mindful to respond to messages and inquiries quickly.... but I am by no means overly attached to my android. My eyes and attention are meant to be ON your child, not a screen. I am certified in CPR and AED for Adults, Children and Infants by the American Safety and Health Institute. I have been certified Best Auntie by my 5 nieces and nephew and I have the mug to prove it. One note - I do have a 2 hour minimum for bookings. Thank you!

Tricia was wonderful! She was very attentive and gentle. Our LO really loved her. She was on time, responsive and I would highly recommend her.

Hey there! I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) childcare professional originally from Colombia, with over 5 years of experience working with families and schools in the Bay Area. Able to travel during the summer — June and July I currently work as a Bilingual Paraprofessional in Special Education and am a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) at a high school, supporting students with diverse learning and behavioral needs. My background has given me a strong foundation in child development, emotional regulation, routines, and positive behavior support — always with patience, warmth, and structure. I’ve worked with multiple children at the same time, from 4 months to 16 years old, both as a nanny/sitter and in educational settings. Families often describe me as calm, creative, responsible, and adventurous, with an easy and natural way of connecting with kids. I love being an active caregiver: crafts, tutoring, outdoor play, storytelling, building forts, drawing, cooking/baking lessons, and other hands on activities, reducing screen time. I’m currently available for occasional babysitting, and especially interested in travel nanny opportunities during summer and school breaks. Credentials & Experience Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) Bilingual Paraprofessional – Special Education Paraeducator Certification – Teacher College of San Joaquin No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Compliance for Instructional Support – Fremont Unified School District 5+ years working with families across the Bay Area Experience supporting children with special needs and diverse learning styles I’m comfortable with pets, happy to help with school drop-offs/pick-ups, light household support, errands, and meal prep. I can also share excellent references and always bring a calm, trustworthy presence into any home. I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. (I am also a great bridge partner!) I'm animal lover, in my country, I had two dogs and one cat, sometimes I take care of my friend's dog. Thank you. Looking forward to connecting with your family!

Daniela did a wonderful job at taking our toddler to the playground to play. We would definitely hire her again. Thank you!

Hello Host Family, Nice to see you. My nickname is Pia. I am a Kind, Calm, Patient person. I just graduated from Nursing program and now I just passed NCLEX exam. I like to travel and reading when I have a free-time. And I also like to do out door activities. I have been taken care of a lot of children age about 4 month to 12 years old. And I also took care of the twin boys. I can help to prepare meal for the kids, I can cook easy food like Spaghetti, Curry, Macaroni and cheese, and I can help to do light Households.When I take care of the kids, I like to take the kids to play at the park or do activities outside. Because they can learn a lot of things and get fresh air. When I stay home with them, I like to play puzzles, Play-doh, drawing, reading with them. I like to take care of the children because I like to spend time with the kids, have fun together and I can learn new things from them as well. So I hope you will give me opportunities and I will do my best. If you need some references from my host family, I feel free to give their references and their number to you. Thank you very much.

Bringing joy and nurturing care to children has been my passion for the past nine years. My experience spans all ages, from newborns to pre-teens, and I am comfortable caring for up to three children at a time. I'm patient, creative, and approachable, and I believe in making a positive impact on each child's life. I enjoy playing outdoor games, educational activities, and even some technology-based games! I'm also comfortable enforcing household rules. Communication is key, so l provide regular updates via text or phone, and I'm happy to follow your preferred method. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, have my own car, and am comfortable with pets. As a bonus, I speak Spanish and Sign Language (ASL). Knowing I can support your family and provide a safe, fun, and reliable childcare option brings me immense satisfaction.

Yesica was a wonderful sitter for our two kids. She was perfectly on time and immediately started playing fun games outside. She even did a cute hairstyle on our toddler (which is very difficult to do!!) we can’t wait to have her back over soon.

Hi families! I’m Jessica (but feel free to call me Jessa!) a CPR-certified, bilingual (English & Spanish) babysitter based in San Francisco with a background in bookkeeping. I’ve been caring for little ones since I was 16 — from infants to teens — and I’m known for being calm, dependable, and fun to be around. Whether it’s storytime, school pick-up, or helping with bedtime, I try to be as warm and structured to every home I work in. I’m also experienced with kids who have food allergies, asthma, or special routines, and I’m happy to help with light cleaning, and pet care too! I’d love to be a trusted support for your family — please feel free to message me if you think we’re a good fit:)

"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)."
