Milena $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Milena, and I’m currently looking for a full-time nanny position. I provide childcare, light household assistance, and pet care, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment for children. My first job was as a babysitter, and for the past three years I have worked as a full-time nanny. I have experience caring for children from 11 months to 6 years old, including caring for one to three children at a time and twins. My experience includes planning fun and educational activities, arts and crafts, imaginative play, outdoor adventures, preparing meals and snacks, helping with children’s routines, accompanying families to medical and dental appointments, children’s laundry, and keeping children’s bedrooms, playrooms, and other kid-related areas clean and organized. I believe in encouraging creativity, independence, kindness, and learning through play while providing consistent, attentive care. I love spending time outdoors, visiting parks, libraries, museums, and creating activities that keep children engaged and happy. I’m also pet-friendly! I grew up with both dogs and cats and am comfortable caring for pets as part of my daily routine. I am CPR and First Aid certified, fully vaccinated, a non-smoker, and I have excellent references available upon request. I look forward to becoming a trusted part of your family’s support system.

Sarah $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in San Francisco, CA

Hi! I'm Sarah, I have 10 years of experience working with kids from ages 0-13 years old. My favorite thing about working with kids is seeing the world through their eyes. As much as we adults teach children, they teach us so many valuable lessons in return! I have worked in many different settings such as summer camp, childcare centers, weddings, and babysitting in the home. My favorite things to do with children in my care are arts & crafts, dance parties, nature walks, and reading!

"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)."
