Hello families, I'm excited to introduce myself as a caring and experienced caregiver and educator originally hailing from Brazil. Fluent in both Portuguese and English, my background as an English teacher in Brazil for over 8 years allowed me to not only refine my language skills but also develop effective communication with children and their parents. I am currently looking for a part time position to start soon. If you believe I could be a great fit for your family, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'd be delighted to answer any questions you may have and discuss how I can provide the best care for your children.

Hello, nice to meet you ! :) My name is Haley and I’m currently an undergrad student at San Francisco State University looking to pursue a career within the health field. I was born and raised in the heart of SoCal ( LA) but moved to SF about 3 years ago. I’m actively looking for occasional/part time jobs to help with living expenses and to pay for school . As Im juggling between being a full time student and part time employee I decided to join UrbanSitter because it’s a great outlet to make connections with other families and l genuinely love spending my time looking out for the little ones. I’m offering childcare , senior care , and household services ! I promise to respect your time and to follow exactly what you need from me. My hours are flexible and trust me my patience runs high. As I mentioned I enjoy babysitting and for years have been watching over newborns, infants, toddlers, kids, and teens. I’m very attentive and have what one would say a bubbly personality so it’s easy for me to connect 1 on 1 with the children. I can cook simple breakfast, lunch , dinner and don’t have a problem with bottle feeding or changing diapers on infants. I can drive to/from school as well as tutoring! I’m not allergic to any pets and fully vaccinated. Thank you so much for your time and I truly hope to be considered as a candidate. Please don’t be afraid to reach out with any questions or concerns , I’m always here to communicate.

Hi! My name is Micaela, I’m 32 years old and I’m from Argentina. I have extensive experience caring for babies (from 3 months old), toddlers, and preschoolers. I studied at a Teacher Training College in Argentina and earned my degree as an English Teacher. I’ve worked in kindergartens, primary schools, and secondary schools, so I’m comfortable with children of all ages and confident adapting to their different developmental stages. Recently, I completed my Montessori Assistant training through the International Montessori Institute (IMI), and I’m very passionate about this approach. My goal is to continue studying and eventually become a certified Montessori guide. I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education, so it would be wonderful to find a family that supports my professional growth. I truly love working with children and being part of their development. I’m also an animal lover—having a furry friend around always makes the day more fun and comforting! 😊 In the past, I volunteered at retirement homes, where I spent time with elderly people and listened to their life stories. It was a very meaningful experience that I will always cherish. I would describe myself as friendly, caring, creative, and very responsible. I have a calm yet fun personality and value open communication. My main goal is to build a strong, trusting relationship with the families I work with and always offer my best. Feel free to send me a message if you’d like to know more—I’d love to meet you! Mica 😊

“Mica takes care of our 7 month old three days a week and we couldn’t recommend her more. She brings such warm, positive energy and genuinely loves working with kids. She’s thoughtful about our baby’s development, always sharing ideas for activities and toys to support new skills, and she’s so thoughtful about making healthy recipes for him. She’s constantly singing, reading, and engaging with him so sweetly. She’s incredibly reliable and a great communicator. Our son loves her! ”

"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)."
