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. Last year, I worked at FSK as an elementary garden teacher, and nannied a two year old and a nine year old weekly. I would describe myself as calm, caring, and positive. I love to hike, run, and be active. Looking for a family to nanny for this Summer!

Hi, my name is Maria. I have experience taking care of children of all ages, and I am also a mother, so I understand how important it is to have someone caring, responsible, and trustworthy watching your children. I would be happy to help care for your kids during date nights, daytime hours, or any time you need a babysitter.

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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

"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)."
