Dalia South San Francisco
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi Families! I’m a caring, dependable, and experienced caregiver with 20+ years of childcare experience. In addition to working with children over the years, I’m also a mother and grandmother, which has given me a strong understanding of children’s needs, routines, and the importance of creating a safe, loving environment. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy caring for children of all ages. I can help with daily routines such as meals and snacks, playtime, supervision, and creating a calm, comfortable space for kids to feel happy and cared for. I also have a clean driving record, which makes me a reliable option for families who may need transportation help. I am a native Spanish speaker and also speak conversational English, so I’m happy to support bilingual families as well. Families can count on me to be trustworthy, attentive, clean, and nurturing, and I always strive to provide dependable care that gives parents peace of mind.

Phun Emeryville
$15 per hour for 1 child

Dear Families, I hope this message finds you well! My name is Phun and I’ve always loved working with children and have years of experience helping my mom, a full-time nanny for over 20 years, care for kids during summers and school breaks. Most recently, when she traveled to India for a family emergency, I cared for the family she worked with for two months, managing all aspects of their children’s daily routines. In addition to hands-on caregiving, I’ve taken a child development course and completed an EMT course during college, equipping me with the skills to ensure children are safe and engaged in age-appropriate activities. I’m fully vaccinated and hold a BLS/First Aid certificate, so you can feel confident in my ability to provide a safe and nurturing environment. I bring a caring, thoughtful, and professional approach to childcare and would love to get to know your family. Please let me know if you’d like to chat further or arrange a meeting time. Warm regards, Phun

$35 per hour for 1 child

I am currently studying child and adolescent development and I have over 3 years of experience working with children professionally. My favorite thing about working with kids is the mutual learning that occurs! I love to find ways to connect through activities based on a child’s interest, whether it be baking, arts and crafts, enjoying nature or physical activity, i love to be involved! I think kids deserve to be heard, and to make decisions for themselves with guided options to choose from. I think freedom of expression and identity is incredibly essential to a young child or adolescence development and I am a number one fan of children taking the lead, and showing us how to show up better to suit their needs and talents as well! Important things to note: -I am allergic to pets, both cats and dogs so cannot work inside of homes with animals -I do not have a car but I have a drivers license and a sparkling clean driving record, and still drive often! -I am CPR and first aid certified -I am a full time student studying sociology and child and adolescent development and completing a social work and human services certification

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
