Natalie $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello everyone, my name is Natalie! Originally from Southern California, I moved to San Francisco three years ago. I have been working with children in a professional setting for 4 years. I have taught children in a preschool setting, ages 2 to 6. Supporting them with schoolwork, Spanish lessons, motor skills, nap time, and potty training. Before joining the preschool, I worked as a social-emotional coach at a public elementary school in Chino Hills, where I supported first-grade students. I love working with children and bring a lot of patience to their learning journey. Kids are constantly navigating a wide range of emotions, still discovering why and how they feel the way they do — and I'm here to offer the social and emotional support they need along the way. There's so much for young children to learn, and finding the right person to guide them through the world — and their own inner world — can make all the difference. I hope to bring the experience and skills I've gained through my education to support that process. I hold three associate degrees from Mt. San Antonio College in Sociology, Social Injustice, and Liberal Arts and Sciences. I'm also a recent graduate of San Francisco State University, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Industrial Design with a minor in Sociology. I also graduated with honors making it to manga cum laude, and at Mt. Sac I was an honor roll recipient. Some of my hobbies include going on walks around Golden Gate Park and exploring the city — I'm always down for a fun adventure, whether it's discovering a new café or a new trail to hike. I also love watching movies. Having grown up with younger cousins, I appreciate animated films just as much as any other genre — which comes in handy, since the kids at my school are always talking about PJ Masks, Paw Patrol, Peppa Pig, and Bluey. Another hobby of mine is coloring and drawing. Last year, I had a student who would ask me to draw things for her so she could practice cutting them out afterward. Lastly, I love baking, my currently favorite baked/ fried item are churros! I like making them into cute little shapes like hearts and bears(:

I’ve babysat for several families, managing bedtime routines, providing homework help, and assisting with meal preparation. I’ve also supported children with special needs, using patience, empathy, and consistent routines to help them feel safe and included. Personality Traits: Patient: I stay calm, even when things get messy or noisy. Creative: I love inventing games, storytelling, and turning everyday tasks into learning fun. Responsible: I take safety seriously and always follow parents' guidelines and routines. Kind and dependable: I build trust with both children and parents.

Grace $40 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Grace — a compassionate, reliable, and experienced caregiver with over a decade of professional and personal experience supporting children, families, and communities. With a background in youth development and nonprofit leadership, I bring both heart and strategy to caregiving. Professionally, I’ve led large-scale youth and family programs across San Francisco, overseeing afterschool care, summer camps, academic support, and trauma-informed services. I’ve supervised teams of 80+ staff, managed multi-million dollar budgets, and ensured safety, equity, and joy were at the heart of every program. My training in child abuse prevention, de-escalation, and first aid makes me confident in handling any situation with calm and care. Beyond work, I’ve always been someone friends and family rely on — whether it’s kidsitting, organizing households, or pet sitting. I believe all experiences are learning experiences, and that patience, empathy, and a good sense of humor go a long way. I’m also a musical lover, casual gamer, and a proud Valkyries fan — always happy to connect over shared interests! Whether caring for kids, supporting seniors, tending to pets, or helping out around the house, I bring warmth, trustworthiness, and a deep commitment to making others feel safe and supported.

"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)."
