Hello, I'm Caley and I have lived in SF for a decade now! I used to babysit while I was younger and help volunteer at elementary school/library during my time off during summers in college. I'm reliable and work well with any range of child or dog breed. I work full time so looking for positions thats are evening or weekends only. I love to swim and happy to take kids to either the kiddie pool at the rec and park in the Mission or Hamilton. I also enjoy going the library and happy to walk to a close location with kids as well.

“Would recommend! Caley was communicative, warm, and our kids enjoyed her.”

Update: please contact 24 hours in advance for one time job requests. Thank you! Hi lovely families, I’m Maria, 53, high energy, artsy and positive thinking nanny with 39 years of professional child care exp. I’ve always had a special connection to kids. They are my people! Most recently, I was a nanny for 4 years to two children in Ingleside until they both went to daycare/school full time. I’ve been a long term nanny twice to two sets of twins from two families. The first set for 10 yrs. Next set for 3 yrs. I’ve taken care of hundreds of children from newborn to 17. I’m extremely proud of my first set of twins having graduated college in 2025. They are my best references;) I also ran a dog walking/cat care business in SF for 13 years. Comfortable with most pet care. I love to spark creativity by helping children discover new things each day through play, reading, music, singing aloud, creative arts and limiting screen time. I’m committed to promoting a child’s physical, mental, and emotional development. ​I supply all the loving care/support (lots of hugs and snugs). Im patient and I maintain an easy going manner but offer children clear guidelines/boundaries that promote positive behavior patterns. I am a native Californian, everyone’s cheerleader, an organizer/cleaner/minimalist, am focused on a healthy lifestyle, do not use any type of social media, haven’t owned a tv my entire adult life, am a multi tasking beast, have a pro-active get it done moving forward mentality, creative problem solver, have a big heart, my mom sent me to etiquette school so my manners are on point, have a calm demeanor but goofy sense of humor and can handle being called poo poo all day by toddlers. It happens, am i right?? Vaxxed for Covid x4 Flu Sept 2026 DTap/Tdap/TD 2026 Smallpox 1974 HepB 2016 MMR 1[removed] CPR/First Aid certified annually I do mask frequently as I have severe asthma. PLEASE PLEASE disclose if any family members are ill or have been exposed with any type of respiratory illnesses before I arrive so that I may mask up properly before starting my shift. Im an excellent driver but do not own a vehicle. Looking forward to my time with all you wonderful families! ***Cancellation/Payment Policy*** Please respect and be mindful of payment for the full amount of time posted and booked. These cherished gigs are my only source of income that my livelihood depends on. I appreciate and thank you kindly.

"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)."
