Orah $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello, Orah there! I’m an experienced and caring childcare provider with a genuine love for working with children. I’ve been caring for children since the age of 16, initially helping family and friends with childcare, homework, tutoring, and school projects. I later spent two years as an au pair, where my responsibilities included driving children to and from school and extracurricular activities, preparing meals, providing care during parents’ date nights, and supporting their daily routines. I am CPR certified and have experience caring for children ranging from as young as 9 months old to 12 years old. I believe children bring a special kind of joy and perspective to the world. In such a busy and stressful world, I love seeing life through the innocence, curiosity, and wonder of little people’s eyes. Creating a safe, nurturing, fun, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable and cared for is always my priority. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide dependable, attentive, and loving care for your little ones!

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.

Mika $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Mika. I am a Japanese-English bilingual caregiver based in the San Francisco Bay Area. I am a licensed clinical psychologist in Japan with 10 years of professional experience supporting children, adults, and families. This experience has taught me to be patient, calm, observant, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I recently completed Pediatric CPR & First Aid certification. I also have hands-on experience caring for a 5-month-old baby who lives with me, including feeding, bottle preparation, diaper changes, soothing, play, and helping with the baby’s daily routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and creating a warm, safe, and comfortable environment. I enjoy reading, singing, gentle play, age-appropriate activities, and I can also introduce children to basic piano in a fun and relaxed way. I respect each family’s parenting style and routines and take children’s safety and well-being very seriously. I am currently looking for part-time and occasional childcare opportunities and would love to get to know your family.

"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)."
