Hello families! My name is Tatiana. I have more than 6 years of experience in childcare, and I hold a degree in Education along with a diploma in Educational Management. 👩🏻‍🏫I’ve taught preschool and kindergarten, where I planned lessons, led interactive activities, and supported children’s learning and growth. I also spent two wonderful years as an Au Pair with the same host family, 🩷 worked as a full-time nanny for the past two years, 🥰and have done occasional babysitting through Care.com. I have cared for children of all ages, from infants to 12 years old. I’m creative and love outdoor activities, arts and crafts, and engaging kids in fun, meaningful ways. Families describe me as patient, organized, friendly, and positive. I’m CPR certified and always happy to help with routines, homework, and light household tasks.🫶🏼 I look forward to meeting your family and providing a safe, caring, and fun environment for your little ones!

Amparo 1 review
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hello parents my name is Amparo, I’m a Spanish speaking person living in the Bay Area for more than twenty five years.i have worked with children all my adult life. I have worked in different educational settings as well as private homes. I prefer working with infants, toddlers and preschoolers. I truly enjoyed working with children and to share my expertise with new families. I respect different parenting styles and learn from them. I have references from families that I have worked for. I’m looking to work in San Francisco. Thanks for reading.

“Amparo provided daycare for my daughter Muriel over several occasions. She is highly professional, dependable, warm and easy to work with. She communicates clearly and promptly and expresses sincerity to help meet my scheduling needs. With my daughter she was entirely capable and was able to earn her trust right away. Her love of children is clear right from the start and she has a calming presence both with my baby and with me as a new mother. She had no problem asking me questions and clarifying all the information needed to have a successful visit and deliver steady care. She was quick to adopt my preferences and thoughtful in her inquiries, never bossy. At the end of each of her visits she provides details on feedings, naps, diaper changes and other observations. She is astute in picking up my baby's needs, for example soothing her when she was waking prematurely in order to extend her naps during a sleep regressive period. I continue to work with Amparo whenever the need arises; she is my first call among my list of available sitters. I would highly recommend her for any family in the Bay Area.”

Booked by 2 families in San Francisco, CA

Hi! I’m Alyssa, a reliable and caring childcare provider with several years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages. I was a lead preschool teacher, I worked closely with children ages 2–5, helping support their development through play, structure, and creativity. I hold my AA in early childhood education, CPR certified, and have a clean driving record. In addition to my professional experience, I regularly care for my younger autistic brother, which has given me strong skills in patience, communication, and understanding diverse needs. I am transitioning from preschool to 1 on 1 care because i believe the connection you make with a child is so important in helping them grow! I will be going to Sf state this fall for speech pathology and am looking for part time work to help me focus on school. I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment—whether that’s doing crafts, playing outside, helping with homework, or keeping a consistent routine. I’m dependable, attentive, and always aim to make both kids and parents feel comfortable and supported. Looking forward to connecting with your family!

“Alyssa was so much fun. She stepped right in and made my little one feel so comfortable. I appreciate her flexibility and follow through!”

Booked by 1 family in San Francisco, CA

Hello! I am Zaineb and currently a school based social worker. I am offering child care, pet care as well as household services. Ever since I was young, I have loved caring for children whether it was a sibling, older cousin or friend. I have been an educator in the public school system for the last 6 years working with kids from as little as kindergarten to seniors in high school. I enjoy playing games, doing crafts and most importantly, getting to know kids and their interests and hobbies. As a babysitter in the past, I have been responsible for after-school care, cooking meals and putting kids to bed. I am also happy to help out with household tasks like cooking, cleaning and running errands. I can also pet sit; I grew up caring for my family’s cat and currently live with 2 cats. I don’t have a lot of experience caring for other animals but am willing to learn!

"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

"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)."
