Davi 3 reviews
$35 per hour for 1 child

I am a trusted and experienced 31 year old nanny and have worked with kids of all ages since I was a teen. I have taught in Montessori classrooms and bring a child-centered and empowering approach to my work. I love to play and think it’s important to protect a child’s imagination. At the same time, I strive to provide the structure and clear boundaries that kids deserve. I am kind and communicative, and want to work with your parenting style while supporting your child’s growth. I am also able to help around the house with chores, cooking, etc. I cannot provide my own vehicle as I get around on bike, but can drive a provided vehicle. I have a clean driving record, am CPR certified, vaccinated and don’t smoke.

“I’m a public school teacher/homesteader and we hired Davi to watch our two young children as well as help in the garden. It was the best decision we could have made. She is reliable, honest, hardworking and best of all, loving. I can’t recommend her enough.”

Booked by 2 families in San Francisco, CA

My name is Marta!Love kids and enjoy spending time with them.I have a lots of experience working with different ages, started as an au pair, was taking care of twins, and then worked as a preschool teacher for 10 years,ages from 1 till 5 years old. Love doing activities with kids outside, different crafts and projects, visiting museums

“Before we relocated from San Francisco, Marta was our son’s nanny for over 2 years starting from when he was 6 months old. Marta looked after our son and another little boy during this time as part of a nanny share, and developed a close bond with both boys and their families. Marta is one of the kindest and most responsible people I have ever met. She has a gift with children and is a true carer and educator. She is incredibly dedicated to the children she cares for and she is always 100% focused on them. She understands children and knows how to build trust quickly. Marta was an incredible support to our family and was always there when we needed her. It has been a privilege having Marta in our lives. Knowing that such an amazing person was looking after our child was a huge blessing for us. We remain in contact with Marta since moving back home to Sydney, Australia and miss her dearly. I’m very happy to discuss any questions you might have, so please feel free to reach out to me.”

Catherine 2 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in San Francisco, CA

Hi families! My name is Catherine, and I’m currently a student at City College of San Francisco (CCSF), where I’m studying Community Healthcare. I have extensive experience working with children, both in Brazil and here in the U.S. I previously worked as an Au Pair for two wonderful families. With one family, I cared for two little ones under the age of 2, and with another, I cared for three boys school aged. Currently, I work part-time as a nanny for a 2 yo toddler, and one of my favorite parts of the job is spending our afternoons exploring San Francisco together! We love going to parks, libraries, playgrounds, and finding new activities around the city. These experiences helped me become very comfortable caring for children of different ages, managing daily routines, and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment.

Booked by 4 families in San Francisco, CA

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)]

"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)."
