Booked by 1 family in San Francisco, CA

Hello! I’m a 23-year-old childcare professional and college student currently studying Child and Adolescent Psychology at College of Alameda. I also work as a kindergarten teacher in the mornings, where I support early childhood development through structured learning, patience, and engaging care. I joined UrbanSitter to expand my experience with more personalized, one-on-one care, allowing me to better support each child’s unique needs, personality, and growth. I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing, and developmentally enriching environment while also making sure children feel comfortable, confident, and genuinely cared for. I am CPR certified, have a valid driver’s license, and reliable transportation. I’m highly dependable, attentive, and experienced in managing routines, transitions, and age-appropriate activities. In addition to childcare, I also offer pet care services, as I’m very comfortable with animals and enjoy incorporating that same level of attentiveness and care. My availability is flexible outside of my morning teaching schedule. I welcome both planned and last-minute bookings whenever possible—please feel free to reach out to discuss your family’s needs!

Taylor was great with our 2 year boy! She arrived on time (and earlier!), kept our little guy entertained, and was super responsive and helpful while we WFH. Our toddler was comfortable with her and enjoyed reading and playing tiles with her. We'd definitely hire her again.

Cristina $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I'm Maracuya! I have been working with kiddos and youth for about a decade now in community, school, and casual settings. My work as an educator in public school has primarily been with elementary aged youth working with all kinds of kids which has really allowed me to learn just how unique and expansive every kiddo is and how to adapt to their changing needs. I deeply value children's autonomy, joy, and essence! I enjoy working with kiddos from a frame work of play and exploration. While these kiddos are in my care it is my mission to continue sharing in the beauty that is this world and offer ease on your minds and hearts while you're tending to what you need to do :) Excited to connect!

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in San Francisco, CA

Hi - My name is Lillian and I'm currently an almost "empty-nester" living in Tiburon. I am offering child care, personal assistant, and household services. As a mom who raised 2 children... I get it! Kids are constantly changing and their care needs to keep pace and be flexible. I love kids at all their phases...newborns, infants, toddlers, and older. I can help with anything from driving to/from school or camp, crafts, tutoring, and sports. I can involve the kiddos with montessori-type activities (food prep, mini science experiments) and can create goal charts, kid-appropriate check lists, and organization easy for kids to use. I am also available to work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, organize, and run errands. I am happy to work with families with cats or small dogs.

Paphawarin $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Paphawarin, but you can call me Eve. I’m a nanny with a Bachelor’s degree in Occupational Therapy from Thailand. I have been working with children, especially those with special needs, since 2019. In September 2022, I moved to the U.S. as an au pair, caring for a 7-year-old girl and her sweet 6-year-old brother on the autism spectrum. In July 2024, I moved out and began working as a full-time nanny. I cared for a little girl who is now 2 years old, but she was 18 months when I started. My daily responsibilities included: • Preparing healthy meals • Diaper changes, bath time, nap and bedtime routines • Washing bottles and doing the baby’s laundry • Driving her to storytime, the library, museums, Art class,gymnastic class and other activities • Supporting educational and sensory play for her development • Potty training assistance She started preschool at the end of August, so I am now looking for a new family to support. I have my own car, which makes me flexible and reliable for transportation needs. I truly love working with children and would be happy to bring my experience, warmth, and reliability to your family. I hope to hear from you soon! Warm regards, Eve

Sol Ximena $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sol, I’m originally from Peru and have lived in the Bay Area for 10 years now. I’m fluent in English and Spanish. I’m friendly, outgoing, and easy to communicate with, and I love creating a positive and comfortable environment for the people I work with. I’m a responsible, caring and organized person with a background in marketing/communications. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m attentive to their needs and comfortable keeping them company, playing with them, helping with their routines, and making sure they’re doing well throughout the day. I’m patient, responsible, and caring, and I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable knowing their children are in good hands. I’m happy to help families and I’d love the opportunity to become someone you can truly rely on! 😊

"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)."
