Hi, my name is Seda. I am originally from Turkey and speak both Turkish and English fluently. I currently live in Mission Terrace, San Francisco. I am a university graduate with nearly five years of professional childcare experience in the United States. I first came to the U.S. as an au pair, where I gained valuable hands-on experience in an American household setting. I have my own reliable vehicle, a valid driver's license, and a clean driving record. I am a non-smoker, CPR and First Aid certified, and I always prioritize children's safety and well-being. Throughout my experience, I have worked with children of all ages-from newborns to 15 years old-which has allowed me to adapt to different developmental stages and confidently support infants, toddlers, school-aged children, and teenagers. For the past two years, I have worked with a wonderful family caring for two children. I began caring for L. when she was just 3 months old (she is now 2 years old), and I also cared for A., who was 4 when I started and is now 6. With L., I focused on infant and toddler development, including play-based learning, arts and crafts, story time, outdoor activities, and supporting developmental milestones. With A., I supported his school routine, helped with homework, and planned engaging activities that encouraged independence and confidence. I regularly transported the children to school, activities, and playdates, always ensuring they were safe, happy, and well cared for. Being part of their daily lives and watching them grow has been incredibly meaningful to me. I am now looking for my next long-term position with a loving family where I can continue to provide nurturing, responsible, and dependable care. Thank you very much for your time and consideration. I would be happy to share references or provide any additional information. You can reach me at [[[[[[removed]](tel:7207033800)]

I am a dual national French and American and fluent in both languages. I studied English and Creative Writing at NYU. Children are our future and their well being and development is the most important thing in the world. Another really important thing is the education and guiding of your child. I can use anything as a teaching and learning opportunity. I love kids and I believe that play is just as important in their developmental process as school. I use play and ordinary activities to guide, teach and have fun. Each child is different and I observe their character so that I can design activities that will enhance their development and love of life and learning. I enjoy facilitating art or cooking projects as well as outside play and fun outings. I have a lot of patience and compassion; and I have a very calm approach to dealing with any stressful situation. Children give me the opportunity to learn and protect, teach and serve all through my living example of open heartedness, love and presence. Expect your child to be physically and intellectually stimulated. Patiently guided through activities, listened to, loved and wholeheartedly cared for.

Sweet and kind sitter.

Hi! I’m Sofía, an experienced and caring nanny with over 5 years of childcare experience. I’ve worked with babies, toddlers, and young kids, helping with daily routines, school drop-offs, activities, homework, meals, and bedtime. I’m patient, loving, energetic, and very responsible. I enjoy creating fun and educational activities like arts & crafts, outdoor play, reading, and creative games. I’m also bilingual (Spanish/English) and happy to teach Spanish naturally through play if families are interested. I’m CPR & First Aid certified, a strong swimmer, have a driver’s license, and I’m comfortable with light housekeeping and pets. I’m very organized, punctual, and always prioritize safety and kindness. Looking forward to supporting your family!

Prompt, caring and got along well with my 5 year old. Would love to work with again.

Hello! My name is Anaya, and I was born and raised in San Francisco. Growing up in a large family with many younger siblings naturally drew me into caregiving roles. I found joy in watching over the little ones, and that’s how my passion for childcare began. I am currently a college student at Skyline College, where I’m pursuing a degree in nursing. I have over five years of experience in caregiving, including nannying children ranging from infants to 10 years old. I truly enjoy collaborating with families and providing support in any way I can. In addition to nannying, I’m currently working for the San Francisco Unified School District as a paraeducator, which has further enhanced my skills and experience in working with children. I am happy to help with cleaning, cooking, and transportation needs, and I also offer dog sitting services, as I adore animals. My approach to babysitting focuses on keeping kids active and engaged in various activities. I am passionate about educational learning and strive to incorporate it into our time together. Thank you for taking the time to learn about me, and I look forward to the opportunity to assist families in our community!

"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)."
