Booked by 1 family in San Bruno, CA

Hi! I’m Caitlin, a 24-year-old Irish babysitter I’ve been caring for children since I was 15 and have experience with kids of all ages, from newborns to older children. I also worked as a full-time nanny for 2 years, looking after a toddler and a newborn, so I’m very comfortable with routines, feeding, and bedtime. What I offer: • Babysitting for all age groups • Experience with newborns and toddlers • Cooking & light housekeeping • Homework help I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely love working with children. I enjoy staying active, playing football, reading, and getting outdoors—things I love to share with the kids I mind! Feel free to message me if you have any questions or would like to arrange a meeting

Booked by 7 families in San Bruno, CA

Hello families, and thank you for reading. My name is Paula, and I am a calm, organized, and dependable nanny with over nine years of experience caring for children, with a strong focus on infants and toddlers. I have worked with families in both short- and long-term roles and bring a nurturing, consistent, and intentional approach to childcare. I am deeply committed to supporting children’s emotional, physical, and developmental growth and find great fulfillment in guiding them through their early years. My caregiving style incorporates Montessori- and Waldorf-inspired practices, child-led play, and nonviolent communication, always honoring each child’s unique needs and developmental stage. I prioritize minimal phone use during working hours and focus on hands-on, screen-free activities that encourage creativity, curiosity, and independence. I believe in learning through play—getting outside, getting messy, exploring nature, creating art, and allowing children the freedom to discover the world through their senses. In addition to my professional childcare background, I am currently training to become a doula, which has strengthened my knowledge of newborn care, infant development, and family support. I am also taking classes at City College of San Francisco. I am a former au pair on both the East and West Coasts, and I have also nannied in my home country, caring for up to three children at a time. I currently live in San Francisco’s Mission District and am seeking part-time and one-time care opportunities, including occasional babysitting and short-term support. I hold a valid work and travel permit, am CPR and First Aid certified, and am fully vaccinated (COVID, flu, Tdap). I look forward to connecting and supporting your family with care, creativity, and intention. Warmly, Paula

Paula is an absolute gem. She watched our 18 month old daughter part time for a few weeks leading up to our cross country move. Our daughter immediately took to her and was thrilled to see her anytime she came over! Paula’s calm nature really puts toddlers at ease. We can’t wait to see Paula again when we come to visit SF.

Booked by 3 families in San Bruno, CA

Hey there, my name is Yeinell (or Jay for short)! A bit about me: I was born in the Dominican Republic but spent most of my life in NY up until college. I recently graduated from UC Berkeley where I studied psychology and public policy. I have been babysitting since I was 14 years old (not including being a full time big sis/eldest cousin). I have worked with toddlers for about 4 years and children from TK- 8th grade ages for about 7 years. Most of my work experience has involved caring for or learning to understand children; whether that is mentoring, teaching abroad, or conducting developmental psych research the past couple of years. I have in the past worked for a dog walking and cat sitting group where I honed my skills in the pet caretaking field. Currently, I work full time with Americorps at an elementary school in San Francisco managing behavioral issues/interventions, teaching the SEL Curriculum, and running the Mentoring For Success Program. I love hiking, snowboarding , BJJ , and meditation! I also love animals and have raised 2 kitties myself 🙂! I speak Spanish, English, and Portuguese and love learning about new cultures. I have a passion for helping others and fostering a healthy environment for children to grow inside and outside of the home. I am available after school most days until late nights, and almost all weekends! If you have any questions about my availability or experience please do not hesitate to reach out, I am willing to accommodate!

Booked by 5 families in San Bruno, CA

Hi, I’m Dilan, an Ecuadorian architect and educator with experience in extracurricular activities; I’ve been working in the New School of SF with children for over five years. I lead a wide range of activities, including motor skill development, math, handwriting, and dance (I am a professional dancer and a member of a dance troupe Instagram: @chekumbe). I have worked with children with autism and anxiety; this experience has taught me how to understand them and view the world from a different perspective. I currently assist two families on a regular basis, handling cooking (I managed a family restaurant in Ecuador), deep cleaning the home (I am very meticulous about cleanliness), running errands, and childcare. I am physically capable of moving heavy objects and am an excellent "manny." I treat children with love and respect, and I am an animal lover: I have three dogs at home (one is 14 years old) and a rescued cat. I enjoy sports and have been living in the United States for a year and a half. I speak English (though I am still learning), Spanish is my native language, and I speak a little Portuguese. I am dedicated to teaching, fostering respect and tolerance, and building wonderful bonds with children. I also have crafting skills—such as sewing, macramé, knitting, and embroidery; you can check out my Instagram @smeraudes to see and buy the amazing things I create. I would love to meet you and help out in any way I can.

Hi! I’m Sofía, an experienced and caring nanny with over 5 years of childcare experience. I’ve worked with babies, toddlers, and young kids, helping with daily routines, school drop-offs, activities, homework, meals, and bedtime. I’m patient, loving, energetic, and very responsible.

I’m CPR & First Aid certified, a strong swimmer, have a driver’s license, and I’m comfortable with light housekeeping and pets. I’m very organized, punctual, and always prioritize safety and kindness. Looking forward to supporting your family!

Prompt, caring and got along well with my 5 year old. Would love to work with again.

"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)."
