Natalie San Francisco
$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(:

I have a strong background in working with children of different ages and needs. Over the years, I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children — both in professional childcare settings and through family and community support. Experience: I’ve worked as a teacher’s assistant in a preschool setting, helping kids with daily routines, learning activities, and social-emotional development. I’ve babysat for several families, managing bedtime routines, providing homework help, and assisting with meal preparation. I’ve also supported children with special needs, using patience, empathy, and consistent routines to help them feel safe and included. Personality Traits: Patient: I stay calm, even when things get messy or noisy. Creative: I love inventing games, storytelling, and turning everyday tasks into learning fun. Responsible: I take safety seriously and always follow parents' guidelines and routines. Kind and dependable: I build trust with both children and parents.

Aisling San Francisco
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Aisling, and I’m a dependable, caring, and energetic caregiver based in San Francisco. I have years of experience babysitting for families with children of different ages, along with experience in customer service, retail, and hospitality, which has taught me patience, responsibility, communication, and how to stay calm in busy situations. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and creating a fun, safe, and positive environment for them. I love outdoor activities, arts and crafts, games, helping with homework, and keeping children engaged instead of just putting them in front of a screen. Growing up in San Francisco near Ocean Beach and Golden Gate Park, I’ve always loved being active and outdoors, and I enjoy bringing that energy into caregiving. I’m also comfortable helping with pets, light housekeeping, meal prep, errands, and maintaining a clean and organized home. Families would describe me as trustworthy, friendly, hardworking, and attentive. I always try to make both parents and children feel comfortable, supported, and cared for.

Kathie San Francisco
$30 per hour for 1 child

I am an experienced preschool teacher at a reputable preschool seeking additional hours to supplement my income. I earned an MA in early childhood education in 2016 and have worked with children of various ages for the last 14 years. I love getting outside going to parks and community events with my clients, doing art projects, and sensory play. I am good at coming up with activities, but also following the child’s lead for what they want to do. ————————————————- For the last 2ish years I was a nights & weekend nanny for a family with two kids infant and preschool age. They recently moved! Here’s a blurb from the family: “Our best nights / weekends sitter when we lived in SF has openings again (we interviewed 25, and trial ran a bunch too - she was the best). She is a teacher at Pacific Primary - she will teach you a lot about your kid.” ————————————————————- I am available before 9am, after 6pm M-F, and weekends Looking forward to hearing from you! -Kathie

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

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
