Hi, my name is Allie and I just rejoined UrbanSitter after some time away. I work full time at a fertility clinic in SF, but have extra free time in the mornings, evenings and weekends. I have always loved working with children and have over 10 years of experience babysitting kids of all ages (newborns to teenagers) and am confident caring for multiple children at a time. I’m totally comfortable changing diapers, giving baths, cooking basic meals, cleaning up around the house, folding laundry, helping with homework, etc. I also have my own car that I am happy to use for pick ups/drop offs. I am currently only available to babysit on an occasional basis, whether you need a sitter for date night, to run errands or to fill in for a primary nanny. Please let me know if you have any questions or want to chat on the phone!

“Super sweet, reliable, sharp and the girls took to her right away. Bed, bath, dinner were flawless. Would 100% use again! ”

Dear wonderful families, Greetings from San Francisco! As a native of this vibrant city, I have been fortunate to grow up in a big family, surrounded by children. These early experiences have shaped my childcare ethics and instilled in me a deep understanding of the joys and challenges that come with caring for little ones. As an energetic and proactive nanny, I take great pleasure in creating child-friendly activities that engage and excite young minds. Sensory play is one of my specialties, as I believe it is crucial to tailor activities to each child's age and developmental stage. Whether it's exploring different textures, colors, or sounds, I strive to provide enriching experiences that foster growth and learning. Being a non-smoker, I prioritize the well-being of the children in my care. I actively promote language development through reading, singing (even if my singing voice isn't the best, I give it my all), and storytelling. Each child is unique, and I find great joy in learning about their individual personalities, tailoring my approach to meet their specific needs and interests. With a vivid imagination, I love to plan spontaneous outings, organize fun playdates, and incorporate music and dancing into our daily routines. Creating a dynamic and joyful environment is my goal, where children can explore, express themselves, and have a blast. Every moment spent with children, regardless of age or special needs, is a source of immense fulfillment and happiness for me. Looking ahead, my dream is to establish my own in-home daycare and become a family consultant. Each day, I work towards these aspirations, taking steps closer to achieving my goals. It is a journey filled with excitement and growth, and I am grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of the children and families I encounter. I am committed to providing exceptional care, nurturing creativity, and supporting your child's development. Together, we can create a loving and stimulating environment that fosters growth and happiness. -Stefany Nini poppins❤️

“Stefany is an obvious pro. Great communicator. Highly recommend!”

“We feel incredibly lucky to have found Adchanakan (who goes by Jay), whom our other trusted nanny introduced to us. She has been an absolute gem for our family. Jay has a unique talent for creative arts and crafts that our child absolutely adores—every session with her turns into a mini art workshop, and our home is now filled with the most delightful and imaginative creations. In addition to being fantastic with our child, Jay goes above and beyond with household tasks. She’s wonderfully organized and has taken on folding clothes, laundry, and other small chores with great care and efficiency, making our lives so much easier.

"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)."
