Lauren 1 review

$30 per hour for 1 child

Hello there! My name is Lauren, and I’m currently in my first year of a Master of Social Work program at SFSU. I’m offering childcare, senior care, pet care, and household services. I have experience working with children and seniors in both professional and personal settings. I’ve been a case manager and victim advocate for both groups for many years, and I’ve found it incredibly rewarding. I’m also currently interning as a social worker at an elementary school here in SF! I absolutely love babysitting and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 13 years old! I also volunteered at the YMCA’s child daycare during the summers from the ages of 10 to 18. My responsibilities included driving to and from school or appointments, crafts, tutoring, and so much more! I love to get creative, dance, and be silly, but I’ve also been told I’m a great listener and very patient. I’m also able to cook, clean, and run errands. I actually enjoy all of these things, can you believe it? I grew up around animals and spend most of my free time cuddling up with my cat, Huey, and kitten, Gus. I’d be more than happy to care for your animals too!

Lauren was kind and dependable with our 9-month-old. She arrived on time, followed our routine, and went above and beyond by folding laundry and tidying up after a very messy meal (our 9.5-month-old is deep into solids!). We really appreciated her help and would happily have her back.

Marney San Francisco
$30 per hour for 1 child

I bring over a decade of experience working with children, including many years substituting at Marin Horizon School in Mill Valley—my alma mater and a place that deeply shaped my love of learning and community. As the daughter of a middle school teacher, care, education, and emotional attunement have been woven into my life from an early age. I have extensive hands-on experience with toddlers and young children, and I’m known for creating a warm, calm, and engaging environment where little ones feel safe, seen, and supported. Alongside childcare, I regularly pet sit and genuinely love caring for animals, bringing the same level of attentiveness and affection to every being in my care. I’m a naturally compassionate and nurturing person who finds joy in supporting growth—whether that’s through play, learning, or simply being a steady, present companion. I’m also deeply curious and intellectually engaged: I speak four languages, have lived for several years in Germany and Italy, and hold a Master’s degree in American History. I approach caregiving with both heart and intention, offering a balance of reliability, warmth, and thoughtful presence.

Isabella San Francisco
$27 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Bella, and I have spent the past two years working in early childhood education. I began as a preschool teacher and now also work as an after-school program leader for TK-age children, ages 4 to 5. Growing up in a big Italian family, I have always loved caring for those around me, and that passion naturally grew into working with young children. I especially enjoy working with this age group and creating a safe, nurturing environment where they can learn, play, and grow with confidence. I am very crafty and love doing creative, hands-on projects with children to spark their imagination. I also enjoy spending time outdoors and exploring parks, whether that’s going on little nature walks or playing games outside. As an English major in college, I have a deep love of literature, and reading to children has always been one of my favorite activities. Story time is still the highlight of my day. I would describe myself as happy, lighthearted, and easygoing, and I love creating a joyful, engaging space where children feel comfortable, supported, and excited to learn.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
