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.

Hello there! My name is Juliane! I have a deep passion for taking care of children! I have two adult daughters of my own and a teenage granddaughter. I’m very energized and will definitely be able to keep up with your little ones! I have many years of experience looking after kids of all ages. I love to spend my time cooking, cleaning, going on walks, and reading! I love to read! For the past year I’ve been nannying part time for a 1 1/2 year old girl! We do things such as, go for walks, go to the park, go to the zoo, etc. I love to spend time with children because it makes my heart feel so full and I love the interaction! I believe in giving your child my undivided attention and care. I also work as a Nursery Coordinator for a church nursery where I lead a team of staff and take care of infants to age 3 year olds. I can also provide senior care! I have over 11 years of experience with seniors. I’ve spent time helping them bathe, completing household chores, cooking meals, beauty care, playing games, and overall providing companionship! Another service I offer is pet sitting. I am especially fond of dogs, but love all pets in general, so I am happy to work with families with pets. I can feed and walk dogs, as well as play with them.

I had a last minute need for childcare and Juliane came through in a pinch. She was great with the babies and with the parents. She was kind with the other workers and teen helpers. She communicated well and arrived promptly. She also had a very warm and open demeanor which put me and the children at ease immediately.

Booked by 2 families in San Francisco, CA

Hello! My name is Fatima, I am a college student, I offer child care, pet care, and house care services. I’ve been watching infants, toddlers and kids since I was 14 years old, I am Mexican, I am an only child but I have a big family and I would be in charge of taking care of my little cousins and learned as I got older and then i would take care of my nephews and nieces, my responsibilities were at the time making sure they ate and did their homework, while their parents did their work and their children didn’t interrupt them. Depending on age depends on what I do, with infants and toddlers I change diapers bottle fed and prep their baby food. Kids I cook, play with them help them with their homework and help them clean up. I have experience in house care as well I cook and clean, house will always be clean and never messy under my care. I love cats and dogs and will be able to care for them as well!

She is responsible, warm, professional, energetic and we can’t wait for her to come back!

Hannah $18 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in San Francisco, CA

Hi families! My name is Hannah and I currently work monday-thursday as a nanny for a set a twins that have recently turned 3! I have worked in childcare for over 5 years and have a niece and nephew that I absolutely adore and care for as if they were my own. I am super energetic and frequently get applauded for my enthusiasm by my current family. I speak conversational Korean and have taught the little ones many Korean words, phrases, and children's songs. Children are learning SPONGES and I love being able to be part of someone's educational growth while having fun. I prepare meals, take them to the park, give them baths, and of course play and read to the children I take care of. I have my own vehicle and also have a membership to the Oakland Zoo and Academy of Science (child must be under 3) that I can use to take your child on a fun adventure! I graduated from SFSU in 2014 and I am hoping to open up my own daycare in spring of 2017 in the peninsula. I have always loved taking care of children and I am happy that I get to do it for a living now!

Hi My name is Jennifer, I’m postpartum doula and infant care trained. I have been supporting families with newborn care, infants, toddlers and kids including twins. My responsibilities include baby feeding, diapering, playtime, meal prep, light house work, running errands, reading etc. I do love supporting families in creating a safe nurturing and fun environment for their little ones. And I have been doing this for over 5 years, caring for children of various ages. And I take pride in being reliable, patient and attentive to each child’s unique needs. As a mom myself, I understand how much trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and into your child’s life. I bring the same level of commitment and love to the families I work with and I would be honored to support yours. I have also been a certified nursing assistant and Home health aide for the last 2 years. I’m fully vaccinated and my CPR is up to date. Thank you.

"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)."
