$35 per hour for 1 child

I love working with children; their inguisitive attitudes and loads of energy make them a joy to be around. I am responsible and dependable, but also fun and energetic. I m 46 years old and originally from Brazil. With me, your children will have fun, playing and learning rather than just sitting in front of a television set. I have 10 years of experience + 15 years taking care of my own son, I have up to-date CPR and First Aid certifications.

Booked by 3 families in San Francisco, CA

Hello! My name is Arody :) I’m a dedicated childcare professional with 10+ years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I value direct communication, reliability, and creating a safe, positive environment where kids can learn, grow, and feel supported. I’ve worked as a classroom teacher for 25+ students, developed bilingual lesson plans abroad for underprivileged children, and supported families with children of all ages, including those with special needs. Most recently, I have been the full-time nanny for a San Francisco family since their youngest was 6 months old (now 2 years and 2 months). I also care for his 6-year-old brother as needed, managing outings, schedules, and activities for both while ensuring their comfort and safety. I’m an experienced driver with a clean record and have safely operated multiple family vehicles over the past five years. I’m looking to connect with a family who values clear communication, honest feedback, warmth, and professionalism. My goal is to work in true partnership with the family, and I hope that a collaborative, team oriented dynamic is a shared priority. If you feel we may be a good fit, I’d welcome the opportunity to connect and determine whether we’d be a strong match! Warmly, Arody

Arody nannied for us for a little over a year and half starting when our son was almost 6 months. She has a lovely demeanor and bonded almost immediately with our son. She was proactive about finding activities for him and keeping him entertained in a developmentally appropriate manner. She was also great about prepping snacks and meals and tidying up as needed. Our older son has a bit more of a challenging personality and she was great about setting boundaries but still showing him how to communicate with love and respect. We loved our time with Arody!

$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Hemon, a 24-year-old nanny and babysitter with over 4 years of experience caring for children ages 1–8, including some infant experience. I also work as a Behavior Technician and have experience supporting children with special needs. I love arts and crafts, reading, and finding fun ways to keep kids engaged. I always want to create a safe and positive environment where children can learn, play, and feel comfortable:)

We could not be happier with our experience with Hemon. She has been our nanny for before/after school care for our 5-year-old son, and it's been super helpful. Hemon is reliable, trustworthy, patient, caring, and attentive to his needs. She takes the time engage him in fun activities like arts and crafts. We highly recommend her!

"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)."
