Booked by 1 family in San Francisco, CA

Hi! I’m Mara, 26 years old, an experienced and passionate nanny. With a background in Early Childhood Education, I bring warmth, structure, and creativity to each child’s daily routine. I have hands-on experience caring for infants and toddlers, providing nurturing support with feeding, burping, soothing, naps, tummy time, and sensory play. I love going on walks, visiting the library, reading books, and supporting early developmental milestones through play. With older children, I enjoy creating fun and meaningful experiences through games, dancing, storytelling, puzzles, and outings to parks, museums, and libraries. I focus on creating a safe, loving, and stimulating environment where children feel secure, seen, and encouraged to grow. In addition to childcare, I also offer pet sitting services. I have experience caring for cats and dogs and truly enjoy spending time with animals.

“Mara is fantastic! She is punctual, responsible, and very kind. She connects easily with our 5-year-old and keeps him engaged with fun activities while ensuring he is safe and well cared for. We truly appreciate her positive energy and would gladly recommend her to other families.”

Booked by 1 family in San Francisco, CA

Hi - My name is Mileide and I have extensive experience caring for children of various ages, including babies, 1 year old, 2-year-old, 5-year-old, and 7-year-old. My responsibilities have included getting them ready for the day, preparing and feeding meals, playing with them, taking them outside, going to the playground, managing nap time, doing laundry, and keeping everything related to the children clean and organized. I am passionate about taking care of kids and pride myself on being loving, energetic, and responsible. I enjoy teaching children colors, numbers, and letters, and I strive to encourage their curiosity and learning. Singing and reading books are also activities I love to do with them to foster creativity and language development. With a healthy lifestyle and a strong sense of organization, I am also a great cook and enjoy preparing nutritious meals for children.

“Mileide was punctual, spent quality time with our son and did a great job with his bedtime routine. She was also very communicative. Thanks, Mileide.”

Keianna 1 review
$35 per hour for 1 child

With experience spanning newborns to high schoolers, I bring a depth of care that’s rare to find in one caregiver. My background includes both public schools and Montessori-inspired private school,where I’ve learned to meet every child exactly where they are — nurturing independence, curiosity, and confidence along the way. I’ve had the privilege of supporting families in all kinds of seasons: working alongside night nurses during those tender early months, providing thoughtful care for children with disabilities and learning differences, and showing up as a steady, trusted presence for the whole family. Whether you need a helping hand at bedtime, after-school support, or something in between, I’m here for it.

“I cannot recommend Keianna enough! She has watched both my daughter and son multiple times, and my kids absolutely adore her. From the very beginning, she made them feel comfortable, safe, and excited to spend time with her. She is incredibly patient, trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely fun with kids. When I gave birth to my son, she stayed overnight with my daughter for two nights, and I honestly could not have asked for someone better to care for her during such an important time for our family. Knowing my daughter was safe, happy, and comfortable with someone she loves gave me so much peace of mind. She keeps the kids engaged, plays with them, and treats them with so much kindness and attention. My kids are always excited to see her, which says everything. I trust her completely and would recommend her to any family looking for an amazing babysitter.”

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(:

Booked by 2 families in San Francisco, CA

Hello! I'm a recent UCSB graduate and new SF resident! I studied Environmental Studies and Art History and have had a diverse range of jobs from waitressing to wetland field research. I am currently pursuing an online program in GIS & Geospatial Technology through UCLA. I’ve worked with kids through multiple channels such as being a teaching assistant to a planter-box construction class at a middle school, working as a camp counselor, in afterschool art programs, hosting kids gardening events, and babysitting. I’m most familiar working with the 3-12yr range. I love exploring and sharing my love of the environment and natural sciences with others. I am equally as passionate about art, and try to make art with everything I do. I’d love to share my interests in the outdoors and in art with your kids! From spending time with kids, I’ve learned they are the biggest blessing and strain life can give you. I am very fond of spending time with kids--listening to their hopes, dreams and complaints, building forts, coming up with new dances, and drawing pictures you can hang in your home until they go to college. Anything to distract them from their tablets. Let me work for you and this can all be yours! If you’d like to see my real resume, I’m more than happy to share!

"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)."
