Hi, I’m Karina! 👋 I’m a professional nanny with over 6 years of childcare experience caring for children from newborns through 14 years old. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with infants, toddlers, school-aged children, multiples, and children with special needs, providing loving, dependable care that families can trust. I’m experienced with: • Newborn & infant care (bottle feedings, diaper changes, tummy time, developmental milestones) • Toddler care & preschool activities • School pick-ups/drop-offs & transportation • Homework assistance • Meal & snack preparation • Bedtime and nap routines • Sensory play, arts & crafts, outdoor adventures, reading, and educational activities • Children’s laundry, organization, and light household tasks related to the children I’m CPR & First Aid certified, have reliable transportation, and can provide my résumé, TrustLine registration, background check, references, and additional documentation upon request. ✨ I am currently actively seeking a long-term, full-time nanny position ,while also accepting occasional babysitting, date nights, weekend care, and overnight newborn care when my schedule allows. I genuinely love building long-term relationships with families, but I’m equally happy to be your reliable go-to sitter for evenings and weekends. I believe every child deserves a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment where they can learn, grow, and have fun. I look forward to meeting your family!

Karina was professional, communicated promptly, and great with our 2 year old son. She updated us throughout our date night as asked too!

Hello Families! I'm Natalia, I'm thrilled to introduce myself to you. With three children of my own, I have a deep love for working with kids and ensuring top-notch care. My interests span a wide range, from reading books, singing, and crafting, to face painting, playing ,engaging in sports, and dancing. I'm passionate about following children's lead and fostering their imaginations. In addition to nurturing children, I'm here to lend a hand to parents with household chores. With 16 years of experience working with children of various ages and a decade specializing in infants and toddlers, I'm confident in my role as a dedicated caregiver. References from families in the Bay Area can vouch for my commitment and skills. I'm bilingual, a creative spirit, and known for my positive and cheerful personality. Safety is paramount, and I hold CPR training and have received COVID-related vaccinations. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me. I'm excited about the opportunity to collaborate with you and build strong relationships with parents and their families for future occasions. Plus, I offer face painting services for those special moments! 😉 Once again, thank you for considering me, and I look forward to connecting with you soon!❤️

Natalia was a fantastic sitter for my 6 year old twins. She has a lot of energy and so many ideas for games to play and crafts to make. She kept them busy all day, both at home and at the nearby playground. We will definitely hire her again!

Booked by 3 families in San Francisco, CA

Hi! I’m Rachael, a Bay Area native with a degree in Health Education from SFSU. After working in tech, I’m now looking to connect with a wonderful family for occasional, part-time, or full-time care in San Francisco. I have over 5 years of childcare experience and have cared for children of all ages, including infants as young as 3 months. I truly love being part of a child’s growth and development—watching them learn new skills, explore the world around them, and reach important milestones like movement, communication, and trying new foods. It’s incredibly rewarding to support them during these early stages. As an aunt to two nephews, I naturally love being around children. I bring an energetic, nurturing, and attentive presence, always making sure kids feel safe, supported, and engaged. I especially enjoy arts & crafts and love encouraging creativity and self-expression. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to assist with pet care, light housekeeping, meal preparation, errands, and general household support. In my free time, I enjoy hiking and spending time outdoors. Fully vaccinated CPR & First Aid certified

Rachael is great with both of our girls. 5.5 yo and 16 months. She asks lots of questions, always with a positive attitude and smile. Our toddler took to her with no issue and my older loves doing arts and craft, puppet shows with her. We are excited to have her for a whole month!

Booked by 1 family in San Francisco, CA

Hi, my name is Karla. I’m the oldest of six siblings, ranging in age from 2 to 19, I’ve been around little ones my whole life! I’m originally from South San Francisco and currently studying at Saddleback College, working toward a career in teaching. I began babysitting my own siblings, then started caring for children of my mom’s friends. After high school, I managed a shoe store for two years, but I realized my passion was working with children. Since then, I’ve spent the last four years in licensed daycare centers, starting in a preschool classroom, then moving to toddlers, and currently a lead teacher in Pre-K. I also have some experience with infants and am very open to working with them more. Working in a variety of daycare settings has exposed me to different teaching philosophies and approaches to early childhood development. I genuinely enjoy helping kids reach their developmental milestones and creating a positive, supportive environment for them to grow.

"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)."
