Olivia 1 review
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Olivia, an extroverted and caring person in my early 30s. I’m currently pursuing a second master’s degree in project management. I’m warm, reliable, and genuinely enjoy supporting people and their families in meaningful, everyday ways. --- 🐾 Pet Care I have nearly two years of experience supporting families with both large and small animals. My background includes walking dogs, administering medication, boarding pets, and taking them to parks for playtime. I’m comfortable with most pets, though I prefer not to care for advanced senior animals or those that aren’t potty trained. --- 🧸 Child Care I have over two years of experience caring for children from infancy through their teen years. I especially enjoy engaging toddlers and school‑age kids through outdoor play, board games, creative activities, and baking. I’m fluent in Portuguese and love introducing children to new languages in fun, age‑appropriate ways. --- 👵 Senior Care My experience includes providing personal care and companionship to seniors and individuals with disabilities, including those with autism and Down syndrome. I also spent time in a live‑in volunteer caregiving environment, supporting daily routines, preparing meals, running errands, and offering companionship. I genuinely enjoy connecting with seniors through conversation, shared stories, and puzzles.

Olivia is fantastic! She is always on time, super flexible with scheduling, trustworthy and very Communicative. My 3 year old adores her. She is warm and has a positive energy. I fully recommend her! 10/10!!!

Booked by 5 families in San Francisco, CA

Hi there! My name is Ash, and I offer child care, pet care, and household support services. I’ve been babysitting for over 10 years and have experience with children of all ages from newborns and infants to toddlers (including twins!) and older kids. During college, I provided consistent and reliable care for two wonderful families, one for over 3.5 years and another for 2.5 years. My responsibilities included school and activity drop-offs, meal prep, laundry, reading, bathing, arts and crafts, and creating fun daily routines. I also have experience providing extended overnight care for 24-72 hours while parents were away for work or travel. In addition to child care, I have worked as a household assistant, helping with meal preparation, grocery shopping, errands, and household organization. I take pride in being dependable, kind, reliable and attentive. I love creating a safe and positive environment where kids can have fun, learn, and feel cared for. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

Ash is the best!

I have 5 years of experience as both a live-in and live-out nanny. Families describe me as warm, reliable, caring, and responsible. I have experience with infants, toddlers, and older children, including school pickups, activities, potty training, bedtime routines, and creating fun, engaging activities. I have my own car and a clean driving record. I also enjoy helping families keep their homes organized and running smoothly by assisting with organizing, laundry, dishes, vacuuming, light and deep cleaning, and creating clean, cozy spaces. I’m very organized, proactive, and love creating a calm and happy environment for both children and parents. All my nanny positions have been long-term, and I truly value the strong relationships and trust I build with families. Key skills: Patience, responsibility, empathy, creativity, and genuine care.

I’m very happy with the result and would definitely hire her again, highly recommend

Fidelia 1 review
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Fidelia I’m offering child care I love kids, I love to play with them being around helping babies learn and keep them safe. I have 7 of experience with newborns,infants and toddlers including twins. My responsibilities include everything related with the baby and children, feeding, diapering, laundry, bottlewashing, organizing and disinfecting toys. Preparing snacks and occasionally cooking meals for babies or children I’m pet friendly No smoker Strong driver CPR certificate

We can’t recommend Fidelia highly enough. She joined our family recently and she’s very caring, trustworthy and dependable. With our little one she’s always attentive, loving and playful. We trust her completely. She recently brought with her a bubble wand that our daughter absolutely loves and watching the two of them play with it together was very heartwarming. Fidelia is incredibly reliable with the day-to-day essentials: cooking and feeding, keeping things tidy, and handling everything related to the baby’s bottles and cleaning. She has her own car and is consistently punctual, which gives us real peace of mind. Above all, she’s genuinely kind, and our family loves her dearly. She has our highest recommendation.

Carmen $33 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Carmen and I've lived in San Francisco since 2007. I have also worked as a nanny in Texas. I am looking to take care of a child in the city. The most interesting experiences I've had in my career was being a live-in nanny for 3 years for a famous NFL family and another time I was a live-in nanny for a famous Latino singer for a year. All experiences were great and I enjoyed every moment of them.

"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)."
