Sofia San Francisco
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I'm Sofia. My experience with childcare started in a garden. There I had the opportunity to care for a group of 15 children from 2 to 4 years old. There with the children we had a lot of fun, they were taught many things through crafts, we did outdoor activities, we painted, we danced. We accompanied them at lunch and snack. So later I had the opportunity to take care of a 12 year old girl and a 9 year old boy. I currently take care of 4 children (3, 6, 9 and 13 years old). I have experience in caring for infants, toddlers, 6 years old, 9 years old and teenagers. I’m an active person, I love cooking and play with kids. I enjoy outdoor activities and do crafts.

Dear Bay Area families, Welcome to my profile! My name is Mariana Antonella Molina, and I’m originally from Argentina 🇦🇷 currently living in Daily City, CA. I have over 7 years of childcare experience and truly enjoy supporting families and creating a safe, loving, and positive environment for children. I worked for 5 years in Argentina caring for children of different ages, from infants to school-aged kids, helping families with routines, meals, educational activities, transportation, homework support, bedtime, and overall child development. I also spent 2 years in the United States as an Au Pair, where I gained valuable experience working closely with families, managing daily routines, school drop-offs/pick-ups, activities, meal prep, and caring for children in a full-time household setting 👶🏻✨ I’m CPR certified, bilingual (Spanish & English), have a California driver’s license, my own reliable vehicle, and a clean driving record 🚗 Families describe me as warm, patient, responsible, organized, adaptable, and easy to communicate with. I love creating engaging activities, helping children feel safe and comfortable, and supporting parents however I can. I’m also happy to assist with light household tasks related to the children, organization, laundry, meal prep, and pet care 🧺🐶 I’m relatively new to UrbanSitter, but I have extensive childcare experience outside the app and strong references available upon request. I’m excited to connect with new families and build long-term trusting relationships 🤍 Thank you for reading my profile — I’d love the opportunity to help your family! Mariana Antonella Molina

We had a great experience with Mariana caring for our 3-year-old daughter. She was always attentive, dependable, and very sweet with her. Mariana has a calm and friendly personality that made our daughter feel comfortable very quickly. She was helpful with playtime, bedtime routines, meals, and keeping her engaged throughout the day. She was also flexible, respectful of our routines, and always showed up on time. We appreciated having someone we could trust with our daughter and would happily recommend her to another family.

Hi! My name is Alisson, and I’m a caring, responsible, and trustworthy nanny with 2 years of childcare experience. I have cared for children from 3 months to 6 years old, providing a safe, loving, and engaging environment where they can learn and grow. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and enjoy planning fun educational activities, reading, arts and crafts, outdoor play, and trips to parks and libraries. I can prepare simple meals and snacks, help maintain daily routines, and support children’s developmental milestones. I believe in building strong relationships with families through open communication, patience, and reliability. My goal is to help every child feel safe, happy, and supported while giving parents peace of mind knowing their children are in caring hands.

"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."

"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)."
