Booked by 3 families in San Francisco, CA

Hi, my name is Min and was a teaching staff for many years. Currently I am looking for some part-time positions since my teaching hours were severely cut this year. I love to work with kids, and I worked as a nanny many years ago. Also I time to time help my friends with their babies or kids when they need help. I’ve worked with children of all ages back in my Country from infants to pre-teens, and I truly enjoy helping kids. I believe in creating a positive, structured, and fun environment for kids, and I’m always looking for ways to support their unique needs. I am very strong in math and Physics ( I teach Physics for many years in San Francisco), and I am also pretty good in house work: cooking especially make Asian style meals, cleaning etc. I love pets: dogs and cats. If you need my help, I will help you with sincere heart.

“Minh has been wonderful with my 3.5 year old daughter - very caring and fun - and also with our family dog. She's also been great helping me around our flat with laundry and neatening things up. Highly recommended! 🙌”

Hi, I'm Daniela. I'm 23 years old, and I enjoy knitting and various crafts in my free time. I have been working at a daycare for two years and have also done some babysitting in the past. I love working with children because they always say or do something that brightens my day. It brings me immense joy to see them grow and reach each milestone! I particularly enjoy creating art and having fun outdoors with them. I consider myself to be patient, organized, and caring, always keeping in mind what is best for each child.

“Daniela is a great Nanny. Over the last year, she has been providing, loving, and reliable care for our four year old. She always communicate with us if anything happens and has a wonderful bond with our son. When babysitting she has helped us with whether it’s taking him to the park, managing the evening or nighttime routine, she is always attentive and wonderful. We trust her completely with our child.”

Cristina 1 review
$40 per hour for 1 child

I am an experienced Registered Nurse with a background in pediatric and elderly adult care at Mayo Clinic and a master's degree in Healthcare Education. I currently provide personalized daytime care for infant twins in the San Francisco Bay Area, including bottle feeding, introducing solids, diapering, nap routines, and age-appropriate developmental activities. I incorporate sensory play, early learning, outdoor walks, and bilingual English-Spanish interaction to support each baby's growth and development. I value creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment while maintaining open communication with parents. I am particularly comfortable caring for infants and multiples and supporting families with their daily routines. I am also confident caring for elderly adults. In recent years I have cared for my own elderly parents who have a history of dementia, Alzheimer's disease and cancer. I know how family members need a break from their daily normal caring routines and I am flexible with my schedule and the responsibilities associated with assisting as needed. I have 4 children of my own who are professional adults. Feel free to reach out and ask any questions!

“I recently had a conversation with my partner where we wondered what we would’ve done without Cristina the last few months. While we were navigating major life changes and sleepless nights with infant twins, she not only took wonderful care of our boys (who are a handful), but also helped us stay on top of house management and home cooked some of their first solid foods. She has a background in medicine and taking care of patients and could not be a better caretaker for kids too. I can not recommend Cristina enough!”

"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)."
