Hello everyone! My name is Andrea, and I recently graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in Bioinformatics and a minor in Human Development.I’m open to opportunities throughout the Bay Area, including live-in positions, date-night gigs, full-time roles, or multiple part-time positions. I have over seven years of experience working with families as a babysitter, nanny, tutor, and household manager. My experience ranges from occasional/date-night care to long-term family support. I am Red Cross certified in Babysitting, CPR, and First Aid, and I am currently completing my CNA certification. Over the past year, I have also completed Newborn Care Specialist coursework and am actively working toward certification hours. I have experience caring for children from 6 weeks to 11 years old, as well as tutoring students ages 5–17 across K–12 subjects. I speak conversational Spanish and would be happy to incorporate language learning into daily activities with your children. My approach to childcare is calm, attentive, and highly engaged. I value gentle parenting principles and draw inspiration from Montessori and RIE philosophies. In addition to childcare, I’m very comfortable assisting with household management tasks, anticipating parents’ needs, maintaining routines, and helping keep the home running smoothly. I also absolutely love pets and am very comfortable around animals. I have a valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and am comfortable traveling as needed. I also understand the importance of professionalism, discretion, and respecting families’ privacy, and I have previous experience working with high-profile families under confidentiality agreements. Excellent references are available upon request. I truly enjoy building long-term relationships with families and creating a warm, supportive environment where children feel safe, encouraged, and cared for. I’d love to connect and see if I might be a good fit for your family!

“Anna is an amazing sitter, I can't say enough good things about her. She was so engaging with my *very* active 6 year old. My kid really liked her and he even said she helped him navigate a social situation in the park when some kids were not being nice. Anna is warm, creative, and responsible, and one of the best caregivers I've seen. ”

Hello! I’m Tatiane and I have several years of experience working with children of different ages, from infants to school age, and I've supported families around San Francisco. I focus on creating a calm, caring environment where kids feel safe, understood, and comfortable. I currently care for a little boy I’ve been with since he was 6 months old, and he’s now 2. I also care for his siblings, ages 4 and 6, during school breaks and whenever needed. I’m very comfortable managing multiple children, balancing different ages and needs, and keeping everyone’s routines running smoothly. I’m still working with this family, but as the youngest is starting school, I’m beginning to look for my next family. Alongside my current position, I’ve worked with several other families over the years, including during my time as an au pair. In one family, I was responsible for three young children, including a baby, and with another, I cared for two older children. I also have experience caring for twins and adapting to different family routines and dynamics. I’m patient, reliable, organized, and very communicative. I enjoy creating a warm environment where children feel comfortable, confident, and encouraged to communicate and develop naturally. I’m looking for a family where I can build a long-term, trusting relationship and become someone both the children and parents can truly rely on. Additional Details: • I have a valid California driver’s license and a clean driving record. • CPR and First Aid certified • I’m fully vaccinated • MBA in Logistics and Supply Chain Management • TEFL Certified (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) If you're looking for someone responsible, caring, and organized to help with your little ones, I would be happy to bring my experience, dedication, and positive energy to your family.

Hi! I am a young professional working in biotechnology. I started babysitting 7 years ago when I was in college and immediately realized how much I enjoy it! I am also a youth girls softball coach and umpire. I believe that kids should be in an environment where they can expand their minds while having fun! As a sitter, I am attentive and engage with kids, always joining to play imaginative games, sports, dolls, or whatever they are passionate about! In my free time I like to rock climb, play board games, play with my dog, and do embroidery. I have just moved to San Francisco and am looking to build my clientele base! I moved away from a few great families in Los Angeles but am excited to meet new ones! Note: I'm not currently responding to messages from Wellthy here. Other messages are welcome. Sorry for any inconvenience.

"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)."
