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 San Francisco
$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.

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in San Francisco, CA

Hi! My name is Molly and I'm looking for childcare opportunities this summer! I have a very flexible schedule during the summer months until school starts up again. During the school year, I work as a garden teacher at an elementary school. I have worked in youth programming in both educational and informal settings, and I love inspiring children to connect with nature and their surroundings. I love animals and am happy to work with families with pets. If this sounds like it could be a fit for your family, let me know! :)

“We’ve hired Molly as an extra kids helper for our church’s gatherings multiple times, so we’ve had the opportunity to watch her first-hand with our kids. Molly is on-time, kind, and responsive. She engages with kids in a naturally warm and helpful way, and communicates well with parents and volunteers, too. We'll definitely hire Molly again!”

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
