Gillian San Francisco
$28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Gillian. I have a Bachelor's degree in Education and have been working with children of all ages and abilities since I was 14. For the last two years, I worked as an educational behavior specialist and care coordinator, supporting kids and families in school settings. I’ve also been a summer camp counselor (Camp Galileo, Camp Kesem), preschool aide, and worked at a children’s museum, so I’m very comfortable jumping into different environments and connecting with kids in a way that works for them. I love bringing creativity into the day, whether that’s art, crafts, imaginative play, or getting outside. I’m happy to help with light household tasks and keeping routines running smoothly, so kids feel comfortable with me and parents feel confident while they’re away.

$35 per hour for 1 child

I am a former nanny/mothers helper & preschool teacher. I have experience working with children of all ages . I have a natural gift when it comes to working with children. They gravitate towards me and somehow really open up, feel safe, and are at ease. I love working with toddlers, and kids with high energy. I think children are important, and i understand how important it is to have a village in order to raise one in this city. I am interested in part time sitting, and household services/cleaning roles❤️ I’d love to help you out! Available to support during spring break.

Booked by 1 family in Mill Valley, CA

I really enjoy working with kids and have experience caring for children ages 1-13. I'm comfortable handling multiple kids, helping with homework, making snacks, and keeping everyone entertained. I'm patient, responsible, and good at building rapport with both kids and parents. I have a clean driving record and take safety seriously. I'm also pretty flexible and good about communicating if anything comes up. Kids tend to like hanging out with me because I keep things fun but also respect whatever rules parents have in place. I'm reliable and show up on time. A bit about me: I have a bachelor's degree from Chico State and spent 9 years working in tech. I'm now making a move to more community based work because I want to spend my time helping people directly. Happy to share my LinkedIn so you can see recommendations from past coworkers and bosses. I'm also happy to help as a family assistant with things like dishes, laundry, returning packages, errands, and admin tasks to free up your time for work and family. Happy to help with pickups, drop-offs, activities, and light household stuff. Let me know if you want to chat more about what you're looking for! I do require 50% of the scheduled rate for last-minute changes within 48 hours of service.

Angelina has been an incredible caregiver for my daughter, who recently turned 5, but has also been in her care when she was a toddler as well. She is deeply trustworthy, flexible, and kind— consistently reliable and dependable in every interaction. What truly sets Angelina apart is her natural ability to read my daughter’s cues and honor her as an individual human being, always relieving me of any stress as I know she will be safe and cared for to the best quality, and someone my daughter looks forward to seeing, as a bonus to alleviate separation anxiety! She brings positivity and light into every space she enters, immediately putting children at ease and creating a sense of joy and comfort. I give Angelina my highest recommendation without hesitation — she is a rare find and a true gift to any family she works with. — Erin N.

Booked by 2 families in Mill Valley, CA

Hi, my name is Maria Lopez. I’m 27 years old and I have several years of experience caring for children and assisting older adults. I’m a responsible, patient, and trustworthy person who truly enjoys helping others and creating a safe, warm environment. I recently obtained my nursing license and I’m currently in the process of transferring it to the state of California. During this time, I’m looking for a flexible nanny or caregiver position that allows me to continue with my student schedule, while supporting a family with dedication, respect, and professionalism. I would love the opportunity to become a reliable and caring part of your household.

Maria came as a last-minute substitute for our sitter share and knocked it out of the park. The timing wasn’t perfect for her schedule but she still offered to come and cover for our sitter, which meant a lot to me to not have to call out of work. She got a lot of info thrown at her right when she arrived and I had to run straight to meetings, and she just ran with all of it — followed their schedule, consistently led toilet learning, kept both kids happy with playtime options, and at pickup both were happy toddlers. Would definitely re-book, would love to have her over again!

Booked by 1 family in Mill Valley, CA

Hi families, I'm Emma — I just moved to San Francisco from Charleston, SC and am currently working toward my graduate degree. I have a background in biology and neuroscience, and spent several years working in a pediatric ER as well as caring for children through nannying and babysitting. Supporting families and caring for little ones is something I truly love. I bring a calm, nurturing presence and am happy to help however I can — whether you need a sitter, a helping hand, or someone you can count on. Looking forward to meeting you and your kiddos! Warmly, Emma

Emma was extremely communicative with us ahead of watching our boys! She was punctual, and dove right in, making it a super smooth, easy experience for us. She helped with light house tasks during naps and was extremely proactive in making sure everything went well across the board.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
