Hello! My name is Eva and I am 25 years old. I was born and raised in San Francisco. I come from a big family with 7 siblings with several nieces and nephews and I began babysitting at a young age. I absolutely love being around kids because they bring so much joy and positive energy. For about 2 years, I worked with kids ranging from the ages 5-10 so I learned a lot within that time. I learned how to be patient with them but also having fun with them at the same time. They bring me so much happiness and I always have a good time with them. I also have experience with toddlers and infants. I worked at a daycare for about 1 year and I was usually alone with 4 babies for a while and then 8 toddlers at another time. With the babies I would watch them, feed them, and then put them down for a nap. With the toddlers I mainly watched them play and then fed them snack. I also have previous experience with 2 families that I connected with through UrbanSitter where I would pick the kids up from school, take them to after school activities, take them home, and feed them dinner. I have a love for kids and hope that I continue to work with them in the future. Thank you for taking your time to read this and I am more than happy to answer any questions. :)

“Eva has been taking care of my clients’ 14-month-old daughter on a part-time basis since February 2024. Her work has included feeding her, playing with her, driving her to and from Montessori daycare, light housekeeping (such as laundry, dishes, disinfecting toys), bedtime routine, and helping with the family dog. She traveled with the family both domestically and internationally and was such a big help to everyone! Eva listens carefully, takes direction seamlessly, and works proactively to identify and complete tasks. She is a good driver and can be trusted to adhere to parents’ expectations. She has an incredibly calm demeanor and maintains a positive attitude, even when she’s working long days or baby girl is fussy. We recommend Eva to anyone seeking a sitter. Thanks Eva!”

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! 🙌”

Hello! I'm Leah, I currently work as an assistant second grade teacher at Marin Country Day School. I graduated SDSU may 2024 with a bachelors degree in elementary education. During my time in college, I worked in a second grade classroom, and would nanny a family with 2 kids on the weekends.

I love to hike, run, and be active. Looking for a family to nanny for this Summer!

Booked by 1 family in San Francisco, CA

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.”

"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)."
