Hi my name is Nicole I am originally from South Africa . I have been in au pair program for two years which is simply a live in situation for two years which was wonderful both the families were awesome . Currently doing part time nanny jobs whenever I get a family that needs my help and I do household duties too ( watching pets too ) . I had a baby in December who currently started going to daycare so I love helping out during my spare time with watching other babies as I find it easy working with babies and children . I am willing to take the children to an nearby park since it is summer time now , prepared snacks and meals for the children , put the kids down for nap time and read books I love love reading books ! So does my baby haha. Hoping to work with a kind loving family . I have also recent started loving the idea of watching seniors so if there is a family looking for an in home carer I am open to training so I can watch the senior .

Hello my name is Claire, an Irish girl living in San Francisco. I have 10 years experience in nannying, not including experience as a preschool teacher (ages 2-5), experience teaching elementary school kids (ages 5-12) and I have also taught ballet and speech and drama to children from the ages of 2 up to 16. I am a compassionate, reliable, and dedicated nanny who is passionate about nurturing children's growth and development. I am extremely patient, empathetic, and I take pride in building strong, positive relationships with both children and families. I like to work closely with parents to establish routines that align with family values and goals. Whether it’s preparing healthy meals, organizing crafts, or helping with homework, I like to ensure that every child’s needs are met with care and attention.

Hi! My name is Bella, and I’m 27 years old with 11 years of experience caring for children from infants to tweens. I’ve also previously worked with young children as a youth soccer coach. I’m a fun, reliable, and kind sitter who would love to support your family with either occasional or routine care. I’m comfortable assisting with household tasks such as laundry, meal prep, light cleaning, and pet care, and I have my own car to help with transportation as needed. I work a corporate role in Digital Merchandising during the week (Monday–Friday) but am available on weekends, evenings, and occasionally during the day. I’d be happy to answer any questions and am open to scheduling a phone interview or meeting in person. Looking forward to connecting with you! 😊

"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)."
