Hi, my name is Allie and I just rejoined UrbanSitter after some time away. I work full time at a fertility clinic in SF, but have extra free time in the mornings, evenings and weekends. I have always loved working with children and have over 10 years of experience babysitting kids of all ages (newborns to teenagers) and am confident caring for multiple children at a time. I’m totally comfortable changing diapers, giving baths, cooking basic meals, cleaning up around the house, folding laundry, helping with homework, etc. I also have my own car that I am happy to use for pick ups/drop offs. I am currently only available to babysit on an occasional basis, whether you need a sitter for date night, to run errands or to fill in for a primary nanny. Please let me know if you have any questions or want to chat on the phone!

Super sweet, reliable, sharp and the girls took to her right away. Bed, bath, dinner were flawless. Would 100% use again!

Hi! My name is Patricia, and I’m a caring and dependable nanny with experience working with children of all ages. I truly love supporting kids as they learn, grow, and feel safe in their daily routines. I’m also happy to help keep the home organized and running smoothly, so families can feel more at ease. I’d love the chance to support your child and be part of your family’s routine.

Patricia was brilliant with my 2 year old, he instantly warmed to her and didn’t bat an eyelid when I said goodbye to go out. I felt that he was in very good hands and would definitely work with Patricia again.

My Bio I have over 5 years of childcare experience, a background in child development and behavior, and 2 years as an au pair. I have worked with multiple children and various age groups, allowing me to adapt quickly to different personalities and needs. I am known for being adaptable, easygoing, supportive, caring, and dedicated to my work, ensuring that children feel safe, loved, and engaged under my supervision. I am a good driver, ensuring that children are transported safely to and from school, activities, and appointments. I am well-versed in organization, meal preparation, and creating structured routines for children, including morning, afternoon, and nighttime routines. I excel in keeping children engaged through playtime, homework assistance, and various activities that promote their development.

We hired Kayla as a part time nanny. She has surpassed all of our expectations and we feel incredibly lucky to get to work with her. She is calm, confident, proactive, reliable and considerate. We couldn’t ask for a better nanny and trust her implicitly. Any family would be lucky to have her.

$40 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Mill Valley, CA

I am a passionate and loving nanny with six years of experience, including the last three years in the United States. I am 27 years old and originally from Istanbul, Turkey. I have an adventurous and playful personality and truly enjoy spending time with children. My favorite part of my job is building strong relationships with the children and their parents. I love working with kids because of their sweet, playful energy, which comes naturally to me. I find it deeply rewarding to teach children new skills and to watch them grow, develop, and express their unique personalities. In addition to nannying, I am a physical education and sports teacher, running coach, certified pilates instructor, and personal trainer. I am majoring in anatomic kinesiology and am knowledgeable in physical development games and activities for children. I enjoy dancing, hiking, exercising, listening to podcasts, and spending time outdoors with friends and family. I would describe myself as kind, respectful, and caring. I value mutual respect with my employers and hope to build a positive, trusting relationship where I feel like part of the family. I hold a babysitting certificate, am CPR certified, up to date on vaccinations, and I do not smoke. I am comfortable with pets and actually prefer them. While I do not own a car, I have a valid driver’s license. I would love to chat. Thank you for your time and consideration.

👋 If anyone is in need of the most reliable, clean, energetic, positive, responsible, engaged nanny we’ve ever met, please pick Esra! Esra has been working for our family for 8 months and we hoped to work with her for a lifetime but are unexpectedly moving. Esra is our 14 mo old daughter’s best friend - she lights up our day when she walks in the door. She plays with our daughter every second of the day and takes her to the park to play with other children 2x per day. She is proactive in teaching our daughter new things and shares ideas with us for child development. She cooks and prepares all of our daughter’s meals which started with homemade purées and has evolved into full meals. She is tidy, and leaves the house as she found it every day. She is always on time, smart, driven, speaks good English, and communicates well. Our nanny partnership has been a great investment for our daughter - we couldn’t haven’t had life here in SF any other way. Our heart breaks leaving the city because it means we must leave Esra. We hope she finds an amazing new family.

"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

"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)."
