Booked by 3 families in San Francisco, CA

Hi, I’m Lua. I’m a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) with CPR training and over 7 years of experience working with families in California. For the past year, I’ve been caring for a little girl who is now 2 years old — I started when she was 11 months. Being part of her daily routine and development during this stage has been very meaningful to me. I also have long-term experience with infants, twins, and siblings, and I’m grateful to still be in touch with the families I’ve worked with. I’m responsible, calm, and attentive, and I truly care about providing a safe and nurturing environment. Available to start in late March or April.

“We feel incredibly lucky to have had Luana as part of our family over the past year. She cared for our daughter from 11 months old through her 2nd birthday, and we truly cannot imagine a better caregiver. Luana is everything you hope for in a nanny. Loving, warm, patient, and deeply attentive. Our daughter adores her, and it was clear every day how genuinely she cared. She created a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment that gave us complete peace of mind. We trusted her entirely, which is the greatest gift a parent can receive. She is consistently punctual, reliable, and professional, while also bringing so much heart to her work. Beyond exceptional childcare, she went above and beyond in helping our household run smoothly, assisting with laundry, meal prep, and other chores without ever being asked. Her proactive, thoughtful nature made such a difference in our daily lives. Luana has become such an important part of our family, and we are truly sad to see her go. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have her. We recommend her wholeheartedly and without hesitation.”

Booked by 4 families in San Francisco, CA

Hi! I’m Ceylin. I’m a 28-year-old career nanny in San Francisco with over four years of full-time childcare experience, and I’m looking for a full-time position with a manageable commute. I started in the Bay Area as an au pair in Danville, caring for a 5-month-old girl and her 4-year-old sister for a year. From there I spent nearly two years in San Ramon with a baby boy, starting at 6 months, focusing on early development and emotional well-being. Alongside that, I supported another San Ramon family part-time as a mother’s helper for over two years; laundry, dishes, light cleaning, and general household organization. Most recently, I’ve spent the last year and a half in San Francisco with a baby boy I’ve cared for since he was 4 months old, combining full-time nanny care with mother’s-helper support for the family. That position is wrapping up this month, so I’m available to start right away. I’m CPR certified, have my own car, and have a clean driving record. I’d be glad to share contact information for my previous families. Trust matters more than anything in this work, and I’d rather you hear it from the people who know me. Thank you for reading, and I’d love to talk more!

Hi parents, I have 15 years experience look after infants and toddlers. I worked as a nurse assistant for nine years. I took care of patients ranging from newborn babies to 15 years old. In addition, I was an au pair and lived with a family in the Bay Area for two years. I took care of their boy since he was eight months of age. After that, I have been working as a full time nanny in San Francisco with several families for about four years. Most of the time I take care of babies ranging from three months to toddlers. I am delighted to contribute to their development and I have thoroughly enjoyed working with previous families. Also, I have excellent references.

“She was absolutely wonderful. I was nervous because I only went off of the on review I had seen (which was totally positive) and she surpassed expectations. She was constantly talking to and engaging my 10 month old baby. Not only was she was skilled at caregiving but without asking her to do it my kitchen, living room, play room etc was the cleanest I had seen it. Highly recommend”

Been babysitting since I was 12! I also have worked at a Beach Camp in SoCal for 5 years and worked with kids aged 2-13. I love everything from sports to crafts. I have my own car and am a very safe driver. I am looking for babysitting jobs and nannying.

“Maddy has watched my two boys many times over the years, and they are always completely THRILLED when they know she is coming to babysit. She is kind, fun, loving, energetic and excellent at keeping kids of any age entertained. She has taught them all kinds of fun games from her days as a camp counselor and always comes ready to play! In addition to babysitting for date nights, Maddy has watched our boys for extended periods (for example a quick wine tasting afternoon), extended overnights when we are traveling, and also is super helpful as an afterschool pick-up/shuttle between sports and activities. In fact, many parents who meet her at my boys' events inquire about her availability. She is a gem!”

"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)."
