Lucy San Francisco
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Lucy, I am 29 years old and from the Dominican Republic. I currently need a part-time job in the mornings. I have a lot of experience with children since I am the oldest among my siblings and have cared for them all like a mother since I was little. In my country, it is common to know how to care for a child of any age and feel comfortable doing it. It goes without saying that I love children and it would be a pleasure to take care of yours.

Makenna San Francisco
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi i’m Kenna! I am currently a science teacher for 6th grade. Previously, I worked as a 5-8th grade science teacher at a K-8 school. I am CPR and first aid certified. Additionally I have experience with 3-6 year olds as I was a lead camp counselor for 3 months over the summer. I’m new to babysitting via apps but would love to break into the mold and connect with families. I have always had a love for helping children. As a teacher, I’ve loved getting to know my students and creating meaningful bonds with them. I’m looking forward to connecting with families in which I can add my bubbly energy, eagerness to learn, compassion, and empathy.

I cook/bake and would be happy to help with any household chores (related to childcare if babysitting) and can also be hired for cleaning/organization!

Merritt San Francisco
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Merritt and I am 24 years old and recently moved to SF. I am an experienced nanny and childcare provider with a B.S. in Psychology and a minor in Child Development from Cal Poly SLO. I also hold a valid CPR & First Aid certification, as well as having access to my own vehicle. I am skilled in supporting the needs that are necessary for the development of a healthy and thriving child, and I have experience working with children and teens of all ages. I pride myself in being able to create safe, engaging environments for kids to learn about themselves and the world through patience and play. In addition to working as a babysitter and a live-out nanny, I've worked in preschool and elementary classroom environments, I've worked as a private second language tutor in Argentina, and I've worked 2 summers as a camp counselor. Through working in both educational and mental-health focused roles with children, I've strengthened my abilities to remain calm, attentive, warm, focused, and communicative across all situations. I love caregiving for children because it allows me to tap into my personal childlike self, and create meaningful relationships that are mutually beneficial and FUN! Recently, I just finished my job working for a traveling farm-to-table event production company that heavily exposed me to the culinary world. Through this job + on my own personal time, I have started to fall in love with cooking and have heavily strengthened my culinary skills. I love to share my cooking with others and would love to cook for your family! Please do not hesitate to out with any questions. I look forward to connecting and hope I can be a good fit for your family!

"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."

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)."

Eric D., dad of two
