Hello! I’m Simma (See-ma). I believe that a great caregiver is someone who is a partner in curiosity, a companion in play, a nurturing space, and a reassuring anchor for your little ones while you are away. Over the years, I’ve had the immense privilege of caring for children ranging from tiny, sweet 6-month-old adventurers to boundlessly energetic 6-year-old explorers. Every age brings its own unique magic! I also have experience caretaking for fur and feather babies! (cats, dogs, and birds) My approach is simple: let’s explore, let’s learn, and let’s laugh. I bring a gentle, enthusiastic energy to every family I join. I love discovering the world alongside children through the lenses of music, games, and creative play. I meet kids exactly where their imaginations are and introduce things that speak to their spirit. I am equally dedicated to being an absolute professional for you, the parents. I honor each family's parenting style, communication preferences, and established household routines. My goal is to leave your children feeling completely secure, and to leave you with total peace of mind. I would love to connect, learn about your family's rhythms, and see how I can support your household!

Hello there! 👋 My name is Andy, and I bring almost 15 years of professional childcare experience (including 5 years of being a live-in nanny) working with children ranging in age from 1 month to 15 years old. I’ve been on Urbansitter since 2013! In addition to my nannying background, I have 11 years of experience as a trusted dog sitter, house sitter, family assistant and house manager...helping busy households run smoothly by offering support with scheduling, errands, organization, and day-to-day tasks. Please check out my reviews from wonderful families I’ve worked for in the past! I’m known for being nurturing, creative, and calm under pressure. I genuinely love being around children and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them to grow and thrive. I especially enjoy incorporating art, photography, and imaginative play into my time with kids. Whether it’s helping with homework, cooking kid’s food, preparing healthy snacks, doing kid’s laundry or managing routines, I bring thoughtfulness and care to every part of the job. I’m a non-smoker, allergy free, COVID and Tdap vaccinated, trained in CPR and First Aid. I have a clean driving record (I can drive a stick shift ;) and am very comfortable driving in the city and on the freeway. I prefer driving kids in parent’s car for liability and insurance reasons. I’m currently open to occasional babysitting, date nights, or regular positions with families who are great communicators and want someone fun and safe. Open to cash or payroll with benefits. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions and I look forward to meeting you and your family! Warmly, Andy Areas I serve: SF, East Bay, Marin County, Sonoma County PS: I’ve recently had several families booking me in advance and then canceling on me a few hours before the job starts, so I now require a full payment if you cancel less than 72 hours before the job starts. Thank you for respecting my time! PS 2: I am not accepting any bookings south of San Francisco.

“Our child warmed up to Andy quickly, and was excited to play right from the start. Meal time and nap time also went very smoothly. We’re really thankful Andy was able to help our family on short notice for the few days we needed extra support ❤️”

Hello everyone !! I'm an experienced and reliable babysitter with more of 5 years of experience. Enjoys working with children and I have excellent communication skills. I'm a former au pair who lived in the city of Cleveland Ohio for one year and then in San Francisco California for one more year. I took care of fours kids in the first place (aged 11 mo, 5 yo, 7 yo and 9 yo) and three in the second one (aged 5yo, 7 yo and 9 yo). I drove them to school, everyday sport activities and mostly played with them in their free time. I prepared meals, helped them with their homework and taught them Spanish as a second language. I'm a native Spanish speaker but also I speak fluent English and intermediate German. In addition, I have no problem working with any pets, since I love animals.

"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)."
