Tia San Francisco
$40 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Tia (she/her)! I’m a career nanny with over 8 years of experience caring for children from newborns to 12 years old. I’m now based in San Francisco and currently working full time, with availability in the early mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m seeking to connect with families whose values align with mine—collaboration, kindness, authenticity, and intentional engagement. Over the years, I’ve worked with several amazing families and can provide strong references. I also bring extensive camp experience, having been a part of STEM-based day programs like Camp Galileo and Camp EDMO, where I eventually served as Camp Director prior to the pandemic. My background in childcare blends structured learning with creative freedom, outdoor play, and emotional support. In addition to my hands-on experience, I hold a BA in Communication Studies and plan to pursue my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy next year. My academic and personal growth journey has deepened my understanding of emotional intelligence, compassionate boundaries, and how to meet children where they are with patience and care. I’m experienced in creative play, day-trip planning, meal prep, school pickups, bedtime routines, and more—but I also pride myself on being adaptable and open to learning each family’s unique rhythm. I understand that life with kids can be unpredictable, and I always approach those moments with grace, flexibility, and a steady presence. I genuinely love creating space for children to feel safe, express themselves fully, and have fun while learning along the way. If you’re looking for someone reliable, nurturing, and intuitive to support your family, I’d love to connect! Please feel free to reach out to discuss your specific needs. I look forward to meeting you!

Olivia San Francisco
$27 per hour for 1 child

Hello everyone! My name is Olivia and I have been working with children of all ages since I was 11 years old. My brother was born at that time and I played a big part in caring for him, raising him, and teaching him essential life skills. I have worked as an assistant teacher at a STEM-based preschool for multiple years and still stay in contact with parents and children who graduated from the school. In my community, I am very well-known for babysitting young children and parents usually come to me first if they need care for their child. I am also the daughter of a preschool teacher, and she has taught me endless things about how to care for, support, encourage, and enlighten kids. In the 2[removed] school year, I worked in two classroom settings with adults and elementary schoolers diagnosed with moderate-severe autism and other neurological disabilities (ex: Down Syndrome, Angolan Syndrome, etc.). In class, we taught essential life skills, including but not limited to: how to use money, how to behave politely in public settings, self-advocacy, public transportation use, etc. This last school year, I worked in the Special Ed class at another elementary school; the class was primarily with 5th graders experiencing high levels of ADHD, behavioral issues, learning disabilities, and mild-mod autism. This year I've also been a 1:1 Behavior Technician for a Kindergarten-age child with autism, staying with him in the gen-ed class and introducing him to the rhythm and routine of school; essentially preparing him for the rest of his educational journey. I was also a class-aide for the gen-ed Kindergartners, and I have experience working in many other classrooms including gen-ed and for Special Ed children on all different points of the spectrum. I am a warm, friendly, and grounding caregiver and I take pride in knowing I'll be more than just a nanny for whoever I work with. I'm looking forward to meeting and getting to know 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."

"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)."
