Sophie $35 per hour for 1 child

Growing up in a large, age-diverse family gave me the unique opportunity to help care for children from a very young age. In addition to my younger siblings, I became an aunt at 10 years old and now have seven nieces and nephews whom I absolutely adore. I’ve proudly helped care for them at various stages of their lives. These days, I'm often helping out with my two grade school nephews, who live in the city as well; this includes babysitting, occasional school pickups, organizing activities, outings, cooking, and helping around the house. I love artsy activities - lately we've been drawing/painting, making zines, and making patches/embroidering. I’m comfortable caring for children of all ages and take pride in my ability to meet each child where they're at, both developmentally and emotionally. Professionally, I’ve worked as a paraeducator for the past 3 years in both SSFUSD and SFUSD. In this role, I've supported students with a range of learning disabilities and behavioral challenges, while also assisting the broader classroom. Although most of my recent experience has been with high school students, I’ve also worked with elementary and middle school children through after-school and summer programs. I take pride in staying connected to my inner child, which helps me build genuine, trusting relationships with kids of all ages. My approach is gentle and empathetic, while still maintaining clear and consistent boundaries. I’ve often been told I have a “magic touch” when it comes to working with children. I highly value honest and open communication, building trust, and mutual respect. I understand every family has its own needs, wants, and expectations. I'm more than willing to be flexible in these areas. Let's chat and see how we align! *Babysitting/childcare references available upon request

Julia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Julia. Im a 39 year old woman who has been working with children for most of my life, and with seniors in recent years. I worked as a full-time classroom teacher with children of all ages for 10 years and managed a tutoring center and summer school. I love learning with kids whether its out of a book or playing outside. Recently I have been caring for an elderly couple, assisting them with all varieties of personal and practical needs as well as helping with the extended family including infant and toddler care. Patience and kindness are very important to me as well as having fun. I can cook (I used to be a chef as well) and do household chores and gardening. I have a CA drivers license and a spotless driving record, but no car at the moment. I love cats and dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I frequently house/pet sit for friends when they go out of town. I'm responsible and take caring for others very seriously while still having lots of fun. My skills and interests are very diverse. I've done everything from teaching advanced math, to professional writing and working as a professional artist, directing a jazz band, and working as a park ranger. I'll bring whatever I can to the table. I look forward to hearing from you.

"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)."
