Booked by 3 families in San Francisco, CA

Hi families! My name is Nafula, a mom of two (ages 10 and 7) with extensive childcare experience caring for children from newborn stage through age 18. Over the past two years, I’ve supported many families across the U.S., providing both daytime and overnight care, including newborn routines, feeding, bathing, sleep support, and age-appropriate developmental activities- I’ve worked under care.com I’m calm, patient, and highly reliable, with a strong focus on creating safe, nurturing, and structured environments where children can thrive. I also enjoy supporting parents—especially with newborns—by sharing practical guidance on routines, soothing techniques, and overall care. Families I work with appreciate my attention to detail, trustworthiness, and ability to adapt to each child’s unique needs. I look forward to connecting with your family! 💛

Truly awesome!! Macula was incredibly helpful with both the baby and all the household items. She helped to reorganize the baby clothes perfectly and applied great judgment. My toddler also warned to her very quickly. 10/10 recommend

Booked by 7 families in San Francisco, CA

Hi! My name is Yasmine. I have hands-on experience working with children as a daycare assistant, where I helped with daily routines like feeding, playtime, and nap schedules. I love creating a safe, caring, and fun environment where kids can feel supported and thrive. I'm currently taking a class to become a hairstylist and working on getting my CPR and First Aid certification. I'm always looking to grow and learn new skills—especially ones that help me care for others. In my free time, I enjoy going to the gym, reading, spending time with my family, and deepening my relationship with God. I also love animals and would be happy to help care for family pets! I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy caregiving—whether it’s for children, seniors, or pets. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and make your child’s day a little brighter!

Yasmine is wonderful. She was so engaging and confident with our kids and jumped right in to get to know them and play with them. Our toddlers really loved having her here. And she tidied up our home too. She has a very calm and caring presence. We will definitely be reaching out to Yasmine again in the future.

Dior 3 reviews

$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Dior, and I’m currently a high school senior graduating on June 3rd. Since October, I’ve been working as an Assistant Kindergarten Teacher through an internship where I’ve gained hands-on experience working with children in both small groups and full classroom settings. My responsibilities have included leading classroom activities, helping plan lessons, grading, organizing and creating classroom decorations, and attending field trips with the classes. I have a letter of recommendation I can provide if needed from the teacher I work alongside. Through my ROP Developmental Psychology of Children course, I will also graduate with 6 college credits in Child Development. In addition to my elementary teaching experience, I have experienced babysitting throughout the years, which helped me become patient, responsible, and comfortable caring for children of different ages. I also have experience working with animals through volunteering at the East Bay SPCA caring for dogs and cats. Along with this, I have two years of experience working in the food industry, which strengthened my communication skills, responsibility, and ability to work in fast-paced environments. I’m dependable, caring, organized, and passionate about creating a safe and positive environment for children.

I am happy to recommend Dior Cooper for any babysitting or childcare position. Dior has worked in my kindergarten classroom during the 2024–2025 school year and has been an incredible asset to our classroom community. Dior confidently helps manage and teach a class of 24 kindergarten students, supports small groups academically, and skillfully redirects behaviors with patience and care. She is especially thoughtful in supporting students socially and emotionally, comforting children when they are upset and helping them work through conflicts with kindness and maturity. Dior has joined us on several field trips, where she safely supervised groups of young students and demonstrated excellent responsibility and judgment. She is reliable, highly communicative, kind, and wonderful with children. I would confidently recommend Dior for any babysitting or childcare position and trust her to provide safe, caring, and engaging support for children.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
