Jessica South San Francisco
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi I’m Jessica! I’m Mexican-American and have lived in the bay area my whole life. I am currently a nursing student in the BSN program at USFCA. I am offering child care services, light housekeeping, and pet sitting. I have worked with toddlers and kids through family, and have volunteered in childcare for kids ages 5 and up! In the past, I’ve been assigned a group of 10 fifth-graders for a week of camping and assisted in a classroom of second-graders for a few years. I am comfortable working with seniors as well. I am fluent in English and Spanish. Additionally, I can speak/read/write in Italian. I am CPR and BLS certified. I have a CNA certification as well. Currently, I am employed by Sutter Health at a surgery center. I can cook, clean, and help in transportation. I am skilled in many household tasks and am quite the fast learner.

Elizabeth San Bruno
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi I’m Liz! I graduated from Capuchino High School as Valedictorian in 2024 and am now a student at UCLA. I am offering child care and household services while I am home in the Bay Area on break. I worked at a 8-week summer camp at Fremont Hills Country Club with kids age 4-13 for the past three summers. There, I assisted the campers with crafts, tennis, pickleball, legos, yoga, and horseback riding. We even do a weekly talent show and it’s always such a joy to help campers develop their acts or even perform with them! I am First Aid and CPR certified. This past summer, I also worked at CodeREV kids summer camp in Palo Alto, guiding students through Minecraft Modding and Level Design and outdoor activities. I am a math tutor for elementary, middle, and high school students at Mathnasium. Through this job, I also participate in a program where I tutor on-site at Parkside Intermediate School in San Bruno for struggling students. I love working with kids and I have been babysitting for about a year now. I am comfortable cooking, cleaning, and running errands when needed.

$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Janna and I’m a caring, responsible, and patient parent offering childcare for toddlers. As a mom of a toddler, I understand how important it is to provide a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children can learn, play, and feel comfortable. Your child will be cared for alongside my own toddler, giving them the opportunity to socialize, share, and develop important social skills in a family-like setting. I enjoy reading books, doing arts and crafts, playing outdoors, and planning age-appropriate activities that encourage learning through play. I believe in gentle, respectful care and understand the importance of maintaining routines, healthy meals, naps, and open communication with parents. I will treat your child with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I’m committed to creating a warm, trustworthy environment where both children and parents feel happy and confident. I look forward to meeting your family!

Alisha San Francisco
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Alisha, and I’d love the opportunity to help your family. I have five years of experience working in schools with younger children, and as one of six siblings, I’m very familiar with managing different moods, busy schedules, and unexpected situations. Early mornings, cooking breakfast, and keeping things running smoothly are second nature to me. I’m currently working toward my CNA license and I’m trained in basic life support. I’m comfortable with meal prepping, light housekeeping, and picking up the kids—as long as you’re okay with me taking the bus for now. Just a quick note: I’m afraid of cats, but dogs are completely fine with me. For personal reasons, I’m not vaccinated, but I’m more than willing to take a weekly COVID test and wear a mask if that makes you feel more comfortable. I’d truly love the chance to help if you’ll have me. References: Jazmana Yarnway +1 [removed] J’ella (415) 573-9664

"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)."
