Booked by 7 families in San Francisco, CA

I grew up in Nebraska with my mother having an in-home daycare and helped out with it after school and during the summer(from age 10 or 11 till 19 when I moved to California) I nannied a few summers and worked for a group home for mentally disabled teens and adults. Once I moved to California I worked at the daycare in 24 hour fitness. I then nannied for a child from 14months till about 2 and a half. He sadly (for me) went to Montessori School full time. I then jumped back into working with adults with disabilities. Then I worked with a kid with disabilities for a few years and moved onto a school. Which I currently do now I work in a sped classroom in an elementary school.

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 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!”

Booked by 3 families in San Francisco, CA

Hi all! I’m a recent UC Berkeley graduate, and I’m also very passionate about Education and child-care which is why I’ve been tutoring, mentoring and babysitting for a while. At my most previous job, I worked at a Montessori school where I was an assistant teacher. I developed and implemented lesson plans and curriculum with assistance from Head teacher and learned to create a safe learning environment by establishing classroom rules and ensuring students follow behavioral standards. I love nannying and learning about how every child’s mind is unique. In my free time, I enjoy reading, traveling, and hanging out with family. I have references and a resume if needed.

“ Wonderful Babysitter with a Positive Attitude I've had the pleasure of having Amanda as my child's babysitter, and I couldn't be more satisfied. Amanda consistently brings a positive attitude to her work, which instantly puts my child at ease. She's incredibly thoughtful and attentive to my child's needs, always ensuring that they are comfortable and happy. I appreciate how proactive she is in engaging my child in fun and educational activities. Amanda is truly a gem, and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable and caring .”

“Rahel is my aunt. I am currently staying with her. She is very caring and clean as well. Her strongest trait is her compassion and how she is very attentive to everyone around her. She is a mother as well and my cousin is very well taken care off in every way. She is also balanced and organized as she is very effective in setting and making sure her son is productive. She is also receptive to suggestions and consistent in her work. I strongly recommend anyone in consideration of her service to not even think twice.”

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!

"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)."
