Parents, do you need a break? I’m Deborah, nanny extraordinaire, postpartum doula, family assistant and Newborn Care Specialist. I’m also a Trustline registered, Covid vaccinated and CPR certified well experienced child care provider with a background in early childhood education providing care for children ranging in age from newborns to school age. This includes twins as well as nanny share experience and I have built long standing relationships with many of my families. As a certified Newborn Care Specialist I’m especially looking to help mothers with their newborns preferably on overnight shifts. This is my link for newborn care.[removed] In addition to being mature, attentive, dependable, active and organized, I’m also able to implement healthy nap and feeding routines for infants and toddlers and have a high standard for hygiene. You can rest assured knowing your children are safe under my care as I’m CPR and First Aid certified and have the necessary life-saving skills to care for your child. In addition, I am a non smoker, willing to do light housework, mommy chores and am reliably punctual. Also, should you need me to transport your children, I have my own car, car seats and an immaculate driving record. I choose to be a childcare provider because I have a genuine love of children. I I love spending time with them being silly and watching them thrive and grow under my care. I also love their sense of humor, their curiosity and most of all their honesty. Finally, if you’re looking for a trusted, kind, experienced child care provider or family assistant with a “can do” attitude look no further. And did I say I love to cook? Please read my reviews and reach out anytime. Thank you and I look forward to getting to know you and your family.

“Deborah was wonderful and did a great job with our 2mo/3yo duo while we attended two days of wedding events without any worry. Great communication and care, thank you so much!”

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 families!! My name is Esthefania, and I am looking for full time role (split schedule accepted, ROTA position more than welcome), or two part time roles. I am currently doing a ROTA nanny backup care for 6 amazing children, but I’m looking for a long term role where I can bring my love and passion for taking care of others. I have been doing this for 8 years, amazing years with rewards and challenges, but always open to learn and accept feedback. I have work authorization, so a W-2 position is welcomed. I honor the family’s rules, but I am also proactive and comfortable taking initiative. I believe being a nanny is about more than just taking care of the children. It’s about becoming a trusted and reliable part of the household. I am open to step in whatever is needed in the household, from light tidying up to laundry, grocery shopping and meal prep! Let’s connect. I can’t wait to meet you!

“Esthefania is an amazing caretaker! She watched our twins for a week while their regular nanny was away and dropped right into our routine. She is warm and capable and kind. ”

My name is Michelle, and I’ve been working as a career nanny for the past 10 years. I hold a degree in Psychology with an emphasis in Child Psychology, and caring for children has always been my passion. I recently moved back home to continue my work with families and absolutely love babysitting whenever I get the chance or when I’m home visiting family. As for my experience, I’ve been caring for children since I was about 10 years old. Over the years, I’ve worked with kids of all ages — from newborns and toddlers to teenagers — and have supported families in a wide variety of ways, including: • Tutoring and assisting in after-school programs (ages 8–12) • Nannying for several families with children ranging from infants to teens • Providing on-call babysitting for multiple families as needed • Transporting children to school, practices, games, and outings • Working as a “mother’s helper,” assisting with errands, laundry, dishes, cleaning, and organizing the home In addition to my professional background, I’m also a mom to two young children (ages 2 and 4), which has deepened my understanding of children’s emotional and developmental needs. I’ve cared for groups as small as two and as large as fifteen, so I’m very comfortable managing multiple children and adapting to busy schedules. I’m upbeat, friendly, responsible, and always happy to help wherever needed. I truly believe I have a natural way with kids, and I’d love the opportunity to support your family!

“Michelle was extremely competent, kind, and low-key. I am so grateful to have found her.”

"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)."
