:::Attention::: Full time availability July to Late-August. Would love to help you out during the summer and maintain a long term occasional/semi-regular babysitting/nanny relationship. Hello families! I am professional nanny on the hunt for wonderful families and children to work with! I have 20 years of experience as a professional nanny and family/household assistant caring for children ranging from 1 month of age to 11-years-old. I have worked with many families in their homes in the Bay Area and abroad, caring for children of all backgrounds. I view myself as a loving "big sister" who will take care of a child's basic needs with love and attention, and also do lots of playing and developmental activities such as reading, playing outdoors, drawing, singing, clean-up time...all the fun things! I value safety first, both emotional and physical, when working with children. I also value their growth and nurture a sense of adventure and confidence in their abilities to learn and grow! I am a San Francisco Native, born and (mainly) bred in The Mission as well as all four corners of The Bay Area and have 12 years of experience driving children around the City (I have been driving since I was 16-years-old and am 43 now 😌). I have a master’s in French (I lived in France for three years) and I am also a Native Spanish speaker as I am first-generation American. I would love to send you my résumé and tell you about my experience, and I will most definitely be looking forward to hearing more about your family. P.S. I only have a few reviews because I usually work with my nanny agency as generally I am a career nanny that keeps positions for two years minimum but I am more than happy to send you my references and/or meet with you so we can get a feel for each other’s vibes. P.P.S. My rates stated on here can be flexible depending on the number of children and tasks. My rates are flexible for very occasional babysitting, so please reach out even if your budget is a bit lower.

Hi! My name is Althea, and I’m a 30-year-old recent nursing school graduate currently preparing for my nursing board exams. I have over 10 years of babysitting experience caring for children of various ages, and I am also a mom to a wonderful 4-year-old daughter. I am patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy working with children. In addition to providing a safe and fun environment, I can help with meal preparation, light housekeeping, organizing, and transportation to and from school, sports practices, and other activities if needed. My background in healthcare, combined with years of childcare experience, has taught me the importance of safety, communication, and compassionate care. I would love the opportunity to support your family and help make your day-to-day life a little easier. I look forward to connecting with you!

Booked by 48 families in San Francisco, CA

Hello my name is Kiara, I am 26 years old. I have tons of experience baby sitting and nannying children from newborns to 12 years old! I speak English and Spanish fluently and know a bit of ASL and Portuguese as I am still learning. I have my own car and license since I was 16, a clean record no tickets or accidents at all! I am adult and pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certified. Fully vaccinated. I also have credits in child development. School is currently on my pause as I want to pursue becoming a birth/postpartum doula first but my major of study is psychology focusing on children as I want to become a child psychologist in the long run. I was a live in nanny to an amazing European family with 2 boys in San Diego. A live in nanny to a family in Chino and night nanny/ travel nanny to the sweetest non verbal boy in West Covina as well. I have also had plenty of short term families all over the U.S since I tend to travel a lot and babysit everywhere I go which leads to me being an au pair in New Zealand, Spain and Brazil! I also worked as a behavior interventionist for children on the autism spectrum and as a teacher assistant at a daycare. I also spent some time working with elderly and hospice patients. I have experience with ADHD children, twins, potty training and administering medication (pills and injections)

“Kiara was warm and jumped right in to play with our boys and read to them when she arrived. Would hire her again!”

"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

"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)."
