Booked by 17 families in San Francisco, CA

Hi families! I’m Alejandra, a Bay Area native, proud mom, and experienced childcare provider with 8+ years of hands-on experience caring for children from infancy through school age. I’ve worked with families in both babysitting and nanny roles, and I truly love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and supported. My experience includes infant and toddler care, school-age care, diapering, bottle feeding, naps/bedtime routines, school pickups, homework help, meal/snack prep, and keeping kids engaged with fun, age-appropriate activities. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your children, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, have a clean driving record, and I’m happy to help with light housekeeping, errands, and family support as needed. Whether you’re looking for an occasional/date-night sitter or a dependable full-time nanny, I’d love to connect and see if I’d be a good fit for your family!

Hello, my name is Gigi, and I am 35 years old. I have spent the past 4.5 years working as a house manager, where I’ve gained extensive experience in managing household operations and supporting families.

Booked by 25 families in San Francisco, CA

Hello Thank you for visiting my profile. 😁 My name is Nenye and I’d love to be a part of your family. I have been a Babysitter since I was 15. I am looking for a full time or part-time job. I’ve worked full-time jobs primarily with infants between 2 months to 5years and also worked part-time with children between the ages of 7-11. I’m up to par with my TB shots, flu shot, Covid shot including booster shots. I accept jobs only from vaccinated families. I’m a non-smoker and non-drinker. I love cooking and cleaning and I am also an animal lover so I would definitely not mind being around any pet. I’d be happy to provide references as well as meet or chat on the phone. Looking forward to hearing from you and I wish you the best of luck with your search!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ When we leave our 2 kids (and dog) with her, we do so knowing they will be safe, happy and healthy. Nenye is smart, kind, and fun to be around, and easily matches the energy of any child. She genuinely enjoys the company of kids and they can tell! She is caring yet firm, and our kids love spending time with her. Extra bonuses - she is meticulously clean, well-organized, and communicative. I would highly recommend her for any family with no reservations.

Booked by 8 families in San Francisco, CA

My name is Raine, I'm 19, and I'm based in Emeryville/Oakland! I'm a high school graduate as of 2024, and currently work at a Nature Pre-school. I do not drive or have access to a car, but I can travel quite proficiently by foot, bike, and public transportation. I am available Monday-Friday, and occasional weekends. Please message me before booking to make sure we are a good fit! Some more about me: I previously have 4-5 years of experience working with kids at a Scandinavian Language School, in which I worked with kids from 2 years old to 11 years old. I additionally have experience and training with working with neurodivergent/autistic kids, and I'm more than happy to work with families who may have more complex needs. I also have many years of experience in babysitting, as well as pet-sitting and house-sitting! I am born and raised in the Bay Area, and I've been living in Oakland since the start of 2025. I'm a very creative person and love making art, and enjoy very hands-on activities. I'm both the oldest sibling and one of the oldest cousins in a relatively big family, and have found that I'm very good with kids. I genuinely enjoy working with and spending time with kids a lot, and I feel it’s a very rewarding and fun job! Thank you for considering me :)

Raine was wonderful! She was available to help last-minute, and my daughter connected with her very quickly and easily. She helped make her food , engaged her throughout the booking, and was professional and prompt with communication with me. Will definitely hire her and recommend her wholeheartedly. Thank you!

Hi there! Looking for families that need a date night sitter or occasional coverage etc! My name is Claudia and I have been nannying full time for years. I am a nanny/caregiver and a family assistant as well as a certified lifeguard + swim instructor (First Aid and CPR certifications valid) and animal lover!! I am college educated as well (CCSF and SSU). I’m here to make your life easier, so that you can have a worry free night out or work day! I have lots experience working with very busy families with siblings that need to be picked up and driven to various activities, helping with homework, running errands, meal prep, organizing, laundry, bath time, feeding pets and juggling schedules and medical appointments! I will always make sure your children are having fun (playing games, art, sport activities) and are safe at all times, ensuring smooth pickups and drop offs so that they can arrive to their activities/extracurriculars on time safely, and effortlessly. I’m reliable and enjoy taking care of children & teaching, I love swimming and tennis. I have been working with children since I was 14. I’m fun, passionate, attentive, bubbly, responsible and caring. I speak fluent (as well as reading and writing fluently) French, English, Spanish and some Italian. I promise that your children will have a great time with me as their safety first nanny! I have my own car and I’m a very safe driver!

We had a great experience with Claudia and our kids loved her!

"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)."
