Razan $25 per hour for 1 child

👋 Hi families, My name is Razan. I’m 28 years old, married and have a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice. I’m currently pursuing a graduate certificate in Human Behavior and Development which continues to strengthen my understanding of how people learn and grow at every stage of life. I’m looking for babysitting work to help pay off my tuition while doing something meaningful that I genuinely enjoy. I’m patient, reliable, and naturally nurturing with hands-on experience in child, senior, and pet care. Caring for people has always been a meaningful part of my life, and it’s something I take pride in doing well. On a personal note, I lost my mother at the age of 10, and that experience shaped the kind of caregiver I am today. I look forward to becoming a mother myself one day, because I truly enjoy giving children the warmth, attention, and support every child deserves. 🧚‍♀️Child Care Experience: I have been caring for children since I was young. I started with my two little sisters from the time they were infants until they were around 9 years old. I’ve also always been the person my family trusts whenever someone needs help with their children. I enjoy helping children feel calm, safe, and attended to. 🫂Senior Care Experience: My experience with senior care comes primarily from caring for my grandmother. I helped her with her doctor appointments, medication reminders, meal support, companionship, and household chores. I’m very patient, attentive, and respectful, and I enjoy senior care because it reminds me of the bond and love I share with her. 🐾Pet Care Experience: My husband and I have two dogs, so I’m very comfortable with pets of all sizes. I can help with walking, feeding, playtime, and pet-sitting. Animals tend to feel comfortable around me, and I love making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. 💕What Families Appreciate About Me: Families tell me they appreciate my understanding nature, flexibility, honesty, and kindness. I’m someone who adjusts easily to routines, communicates clearly, and stays calm in stressful or busy situations. I treat every family with respect and every person, child, senior, or pet with genuine care. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, reliable, and committed to helping, I would be happy to help. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

Booked by 2 families in San Francisco, CA

Hi! My name is Janetzy, and I have over 7 years of experience working with children of all ages. I have 4+ years of experience caring for infants, 6+ years working with toddlers, and over 7 years supporting and mentoring children in general. My journey in childcare began in 2019 when I started working at an after-school program, where I tutored elementary school students, supervised activities, and helped create a safe and engaging environment for children after school. Through that experience, I discovered how much I genuinely enjoy working with kids and helping them learn, grow, and build confidence. Since then, I have continued to gain experience through babysitting and nannying, caring for children with a variety of needs, personalities, and age groups. In addition to my childcare experience, I have a creative background and earned my degree in Film and Television Production from USC. I currently pursue creative work as a filmmaker, director, and editor. My creative background allows me to bring imagination, storytelling, arts and crafts, and fun educational activities into my time with children. I love encouraging creativity, curiosity, and self-expression while making sure children feel supported and engaged. I am fluent in both English and Spanish, which allows me to communicate effectively with bilingual families and introduce children to a second language through everyday conversation, play, and learning activities when desired. I am patient, responsible, dependable, and passionate about creating a nurturing environment where children feel safe, valued, and cared for. Whether it's helping with homework, planning activities, maintaining routines, or simply being a positive role model, I strive to make a meaningful impact on the families I work with. I look forward to meeting your family!

“Janetzy was our nanny full time taking care of my daughter since she was 4 months old. She was also taking care of my toddler in the evening and we could not have asked for a better caregiver. She is incredibly reliable, punctual, trustworthy, and wonderful with young children. She quickly became an important part of our family and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had her in our lives during those early year. I cannot recommend her enough. Marina”

Adonai $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a 47-year-old mom of two wonderful children. My oldest is currently in university, and my youngest is a freshman in high school, so caring for children has been a big part of my life for many years. My youngest has ADHD, which has taught me a lot about patience, understanding different learning styles, helping with homework, and creating routines that work for each child. I’m comfortable caring for children of all ages, including babies and toddlers. I enjoy cooking, listening to music, meditating, and spending quality time with children—whether that means playing, helping with homework, preparing a meal, or simply enjoying some quiet time together. I believe children need both fun and a calm, safe environment where they can feel comfortable being themselves. I’m dependable, patient, caring, and respectful of each family’s routines and parenting style. I also have a valid driver’s license and insurance and am comfortable providing transportation when needed. As a mom myself, I understand how important it is to feel confident and at ease with the person caring for your children, and I would love the opportunity to be someone your family can trust.

Sarah $45 per hour for 1 child

Hi Families! I’m Nanny Sarah, 18 years experience. I have seen and done it all! I’m a professional contract Nanny. I have worked with multiples, twins and premature infants. Families describe me as not only a nanny but an educator as well. I’m looking for a full time position with a family that has a newborn that can commit to a few years until the child attends school. My kiddos are private school ready at 3 years old. They learn age appropriate physical and mental milestones. I take them on age appropriate outings such as parks, library, beach, zoo, music class, etc. I do sleep/nap training, self feeding training as well as potty training. I also teach them age appropriate speech and language development. Daily light housekeeping such as cleaning the kitchen, children play areas and bedroom, laundry, etc. I make learning and playtime lots of fun! We get messy, do art projects, sing and dance. I’m on the floor playing and interacting with the children, no TV. My kiddos are smart, confident, inclusive, and more importantly polite. They don’t go through toddler tantrums because they are able to communicate what they need and want. I am willing to travel on family trips. More about me: My spouse and I love to travel and go on outdoor adventures. I live in Alameda and enjoy all that the Bay Area has to offer such as farmers markets, hiking and events. I love to cook!

"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)."
