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

Hi my name is Michelle and I’m currently a student at CSU East Bay wrapping up my 3rd degree. I have a 16 year old son of my own as well as helped my family members care for their own children since I was 14. I have 2 psychology degrees and took a few child development classes during the course. I was also an adult care taker for about 5 years. I’m CPR/BLS certified.

Michelle is very reliable when providing child care for my twins. She’s really good at being creative at arts and crafts and outdoor play with them. She’s also very helpful with small chores around the house.

Hi, dear family! My name is Evilyn, I am 25 years old and I am from Brazil. I have experience with childcare for all ages for at least 5 years, but I have much more experience with toddlers and infants since I was an Au Pair and took care of to kids from 0 to 3 years old. I am affectionate, easy going, helpful and energetic. I am certified in First Aid and CPR. Also, I have my California driver's license, so I am available to pick up and drop off children.

Evilyn was very kind and caring with our children. She did very well with the baby. She's able to help out around the house beyond child care as well!

Kathy $24 per hour for 1 child

l am currently a college student with a strong background in caregiving, stemming from my domestic upbringing and experiences. As the oldest of four, I helped my parents take care of my three younger siblings, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how to handle different age groups and personalities. I also have experience caring for my grandmother, where I help her with daily tasks, keep her company, and ensure she feels safe and supported. Through these experiences, I've learned how important it is to be dependable, kind, and attentive. I'm very friendly, organized, and proficient at multitasking. I value myself as someone others can rely on and trust. I have limited experience with pets, including cats and dogs, but I'm very willing to learn and follow instructions. Overall, my background has helped me develop strong caregiving skills, and I genuinely enjoy helping others. This lets me bring a positive attitude, strong work ethic, and a caring approach to everything I do.

"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)."
