Booked by 6 families in San Francisco, CA

Hello! My name is Citlali and I go by Lali. I just graduated from SFSU with a BA in Political Science. I first started caring for kiddos in 2018. I was connected to families through my sorority and have been babysitting ever since! I enjoy caring for kids so much that I recently decided to change my career path and become an elementary school teacher. I have been an on-and-off nanny with multiple families for about 8 years in San Francisco. My normal routine with older kiddos included driving the kiddos to and from school activities, preparing lunch/dinner, and putting them to bed when parents were out for the night. For the littles, we would have disney dance parties, playground time, and lots of reading time. I am comfortable driving kiddos and have been driving in San Francisco for 8 years so I know my way around! I look forward to connecting and meeting your kiddos! :)

“So wonderful with the kids! Would definitely hire her again!”

Hi, I’m Beatriz from Brazil, and I bring over 10 years of experience working with children. I began my journey in Rio de Janeiro, where I studied graphic design at university and worked as a part time camp assistant at an after school program. In 2018, I moved to California to improve my English and further my education through courses in arts, communication and kids development. From 2018 to 2021, I worked with the FR family, caring for their four children. This role strengthened my ability to manage the needs of multiple children of different ages. My daily responsibilities included drive, planning engaging activities, and supporting them with homework and online learning. From 2021 to 2023 I began working with the B family, caring for their two children—one of whom is autistic, while the other had limited social interaction due to lockdowns. My focus was on tutoring, enhancing their school performance, and supporting their motor and social development. Since January 2024, I have been working with the C family, who have three children, including a 15 month-old baby. This role has significantly enhanced my skills in caring for both infants and toddlers simultaneously. I am primarily responsible for managing afternoon activities, evening/night routine, preparing meals, and assisting with various household tasks as a family assistant. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. I’d be happy to answer any questions you may have and look forward to the opportunity to support your family!

“Beatriz was awesome and hit it off with our baby immediately! She's super helpful, proactive and immediately adapted to our family. Very proactive and super-pleasant to have around! Strongly recommended.”

"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)."
