Booked by 21 families in San Francisco, CA

Hello! My name is Eliza and I love to babysit! I graduated from the University of San Francisco in May 2019 with a BA in Media Studies. Throughout my college experience I used UrbanSitter many times and have worked with many families - I love this company and all the families I have been able to work for and connect with through UrbanSitter. I am very flexible with my schedule and have worked with kids as young as 7months to as old as 10-11 years old. Message me if you have any questions!

“Eliza is amazing!! Very engaging and very intuitive with children. She’s definitely a true gem when it comes to children. Everything just feels natural with Eliza. Our son really fell in love with her, as did we. She was out first sitter from Urbansitter, and we were more than pleasantly surprised.”

Hi, I’m Laura! I’m a professional nanny with nearly 10 years of experience caring for children from infancy through school age. I’m CPR certified and committed to providing safe, nurturing, and engaging care where children feel supported, confident, and encouraged to learn and grow. Throughout my career, I’ve supported families through many stages of childhood, with extensive experience caring for newborns and infants. I’m comfortable establishing and maintaining routines, supporting developmental milestones, tummy time, developmental play, naps and sleep routines, introducing age-appropriate activities, and implementing therapeutic exercises under professional guidance. I also have experience caring for multiple children at the same time. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and communicative, and I truly value building trusting, long-term relationships with both children and parents. I have strong references from families I’ve worked with over the years, including long-term relationships that have continued beyond my time working with their children. I enjoy keeping children active and engaged through walks, parks, classes, library visits, and other age-appropriate outings and activities. I speak both English and Spanish and enjoy creating a warm, organized, and positive environment where children can thrive. I’d love the opportunity to support your family!

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Ziva Hadar! She provided exceptional care for our young children, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had her in our lives. Ziva is warm, loving, attentive, and dependable. She made our kids feel safe, happy, and loved. She would take our kids on outings to different parks and neighborhoods throughout the city, which they absolutely loved.

Booked by 140 families in San Francisco, CA

Hi! My name is Hue (or Emily). I’ve been working with a family in the Panhandle since their baby girl was 8 months old, and she has now started preschool. I’ve been with them for 4+ years and am currently looking for a part-time or full-time position. I have over 10 years of experience caring for infants and toddlers. I’ve worked with single families, nanny shares, and siblings. The youngest baby I’ve cared for was just 2 weeks old. A typical day with a baby includes breakfast, a bottle before the morning nap, lunch with solid foods, and another bottle before the afternoon nap. During the day, I incorporate indoor activities like music, reading, and helping develop motor skills such as crawling, standing, and walking. I also make it a priority to get outside every day - whether it’s going to the park or library for story time - so they can get fresh air, build social skills, and interact with other children. I make sure everything related to the child is clean and organized, including diaper changes, washing bottles, preparing meals, and bathing before parents get home. I’ve had the joy of supporting many important milestones, such as crawling, first teeth, introducing solid foods, sleep training, standing, walking, and nap transitions. While there can be challenges - like sleep training, feeding transitions, or adjusting schedules - I’m patient and experienced in helping both children and parents through those stages. For toddlers, I help with daily routines such as breakfast, snacks, playground time, story time or music classes, lunch, and naps. I also assist with dishes and laundry when needed. I truly enjoy spending time with kids and building a strong, caring relationship with them. I love keeping children active with outdoor activities like going to the park, scootering, biking, and dancing, rather than relying on screens. I also enjoy cooking healthy meals for kids (such as meatballs, beef, salmon, and chicken), and I’m happy to help with light household tasks like dishes, laundry, and organizing children’s spaces. Please feel free to reach out if you think I might be a good fit for your family. Thank you so much!

“Great job covering at the last minute! Looking forward to working with you 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."

"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)."
