Booked by 44 families in San Francisco, CA

Hi, my name is Oumaima. I'm 29 years old and I'm originally Italian. I consider myself a very reliable, patient and happy person. :) I truly enjoy spending time with kids so that makes my job a lot easier to do, I do love teaching them new things and be able to help them improve their skills. I have worked with children of all ages for the past 5years (newborns- 12/15yo) so I know how to handle a workload and be on top of the situation at all times.  I am a very energetic and outgoing person who enjoys outdoors activities and sports.  With the previous kids i worked with, we enjoyed going to the library together and read in italian/english; go to music classes, as well as gymnastic and yoga classes. If the situation allowed it we would spend the day at the museum or have playdates with our little friends at the park, of course,  depending on the age of the children activities tend to vary but i'm sure we'll find something exciting and fun to do! Previous experiences also include -sleep training  -introduction to solid food/finger food  -potty training  -laundry wash/fold  No need to mention that maintaining some sort of order in the house at all times and help with light housekeeping/meal prep. if necessary is totally fine and understandable; obviously my goal as a nanny is to provide the best environment possible for both the children and the parents.  My first language is italian but I also speak english, spanish and arabic. I would be very happy to introduce the kids to different languages but if not required english works perfectly fine.  I hope i was able to tell you a little bit about myself, but if you'd like to learn more please don't hesitate to contact me. Looking forward to hearing from you soon! Wish you a great rest of your day  Thank you -UMI

Booked by 110 families in San Francisco, CA

Hi! My name is Emma. I've been working professionally as a nanny for over 10 years and recently graduated from California Institute of Integral Studies with a masters in the somatic therapy. I have met so many amazing families here in SF. Bonding with them has been so special to be a part of. I have experience with working primarily with babies and toddlers, and addition experience with separation anxiety, feeding difficulty, night nannying/overnights, siblings, and share-care. I resonate most with gentle and positive parenting. I have a lot of patience, providing a safe and encouraging environment to support little ones (and new parents) through consistency, connection, and play.

Booked by 67 families in San Francisco, CA

Hello Parents! My name is Lynette, and I have over 9+ years of childcare experience caring for children from infancy through teenage age. Throughout my career, I have worked as an au pair, daycare provider, private nanny, nanny-share nanny, sitter, night nanny, ESL teacher, and tutor. I am warm, dependable, organized, and proactive, and I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, explore, and thrive. I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities, encouraging independence, spending time outdoors, and supporting each child’s unique developmental journey. I thrive in positions where I can confidently manage a child’s day, maintain consistent routines, and create engaging, developmentally appropriate experiences. I work best with families who are comfortable entrusting their children to an experienced caregiver and allowing me to independently manage their care and routines during scheduled hours. I am always happy to follow parents’ preferences and instructions, and I value clear communication, a smooth handoff, and partnerships built on mutual trust and respect. I am certified in: • Red Cross Adult, Child & Infant CPR, First Aid, and AED • Build My Brain Training • Poison Prevention and Safety in Child Care Programs • Abusive Head Trauma (Shaken Baby Syndrome) Prevention • Supporting Emotional Development in Infants and Toddlers • Establishing Positive Relationships with Families • Understanding Infant and Toddler Development I am also up to date on vaccines and very conscious about health and safety. I look forward to supporting your family and becoming a positive part of your child’s village.

“Lynette stepped in to babysit our 1 year old son on very short notice. She took great care of him and we appreciated her immensely!”

"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)."
