Hello Parents, My name is Thaís, and I bring over 15 years of experience as a nanny and household assistant. I am CPR and First Aid certified, a non-smoker, bilingual, and an excellent driver with a clean record. I’m confident in adapting to your family’s unique needs and providing reliable, caring support.

Booked by 4 families in San Francisco, CA

Hello, My name is Tatiana, I’m 29 years old. I’ve taken numerous child development courses, in efforts to gain the knowledge to better help support the children I care for. My passion is to create a fun, safe space for children in order to occupy their time, such as art projects, outdoor play, sensory bins ect. I have nannied for several different families for the past nine years. I’m Cpr/First Aid/AED certified, I have my own car (clean record and car insurance), and professional references if needed.

Tatiana was wonderful to work with. She was professional and very caring, our son warmed up to her right away. Highly recommend!

Booked by 5 families in San Francisco, CA

Hello! I am a former legal assistant turned preschool teacher. I started babysitting at the age of 15 for family, family friends, and neighbors. I was a nanny for four years here in San Francisco so that gave me great experience with the newborn, baby, and toddler stages. It was a wonderful experience and I still keep in touch with the amazing family. Since then, I have nannied for two more families. What I enjoy most about spending time with kids is having the chance to see the energy and excitement children display when they are learning and honoring how they wonder. It also helps that I have a broad appreciation of a variety of subjects and it can be fun to learn things together. In my free time, I like to read, jog, and cook!

Rocio is so sweet and reliable. Our 6 month old daughter just lights up when she sees her and I feel completely at ease leaving her with Rocio. She is gentle, courteous and professional. My only hesitation in writing this is that she will become popular with other families and won't have time for us.

Booked by 5 families in San Francisco, CA

Hi, my name is Yuri I've been working with kids since I was 9 years old when my mother immigrated to this country I started to take care of my younger brothers. Since 2010 when I came to the USA I began babysitting kids of different ages. I am a mother of one girl, she is 16 years old now and suddenly she is my best experience as a mother. I do have a driver's license and a car. I'm sure I can be a big help to your family.

It was a pleasure to have Yuri watch my 18 month old. She not only jumped right in, she organized his closet, helped with laundry without me requesting. Yuri has great energy and is extremely responsible. Can’t wait to have her back soon!

Booked by 4 families in San Francisco, CA

My name is Sofia, and I’m a rising junior at UC Santa Barbara, home for the summer. I have been babysitting on and off since 7th grade. I’ve worked primarily for three families. The first two roles involved caring for one child each (ages 4 and 6), while the third involved caring for three siblings (ages 2, 5, and 8), including one child with special needs. Caring for an 8-year-old boy with brain cancer, which affected both his physical and cognitive abilities, taught me patience, adaptability, and how to communicate when verbal communication was limited. I also spent three years working as a math tutor at Mathnasium, where I worked with groups of three to four students at a time, ranging from preschool through high school. Managing multiple children at once strengthened my patience, communication skills, and ability to keep kids engaged while adapting to different ages and learning styles. I'd describe myself as creative, which helps me get along with kids. The majority of my experience has been with no-screen families, so I am very comfortable keeping kids entertained with fun activities, imaginative play, crafts, reading, and spending time outdoors. I enjoy finding activities that match each child's interests and energy level rather than relying on screens. Above all, I want parents to feel confident that their children are safe and well cared for. I enjoy creating a fun, engaging environment while respecting each family's routines and parenting style. Whether we're doing crafts, playing outside, or winding down for bedtime, I strive to be patient, dependable, and someone both parents and kids feel comfortable with. I have reliable transportation and am happy to do pickups or drive to activities. I have had my license for well over 3 years. I’m looking for short-term work while I’m home for the summer before returning to school in September, and I have a very flexible schedule. Please contact me with any questions you may have. I look forward to the opportunity to communicate with you and make new little friends!

"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)."
