Muluken $30 per hour for 1 child

My name is Muluken Andarge, and I am a caring, dependable, and responsible childcare provider with more than 20 years of experience as a mother, along with hands-on experience in babysitting, childcare, family assistance, household support, and driving. As a mother, I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust with their children. I am patient, nurturing, attentive, and committed to creating a safe, positive, and comfortable environment where children feel cared for and supported. In addition to childcare, I am happy to help families with school drop-offs and pick-ups, driving children to activities and appointments, light household tasks, meal preparation, errands, and other day-to-day family needs. I enjoy working with children and supporting busy families. I treat every child with kindness, patience, and respect, and I take my responsibilities seriously. I would be grateful for the opportunity to meet your family and discuss how my experience can support your childcare needs. Muluken Andarge

Booked by 1 family in San Francisco, CA

Hello! My name is Johanna, and I am currently between jobs, figuring out the next phase of my career. I am originally from Vermont and moved to San Francisco about 2 years ago. I went to college and lived in NYC for 15 years and never thought I would leave, but here I am! Since I'm a country girl at heart, I feel like I get the best of both worlds living in San Francisco; between the city life and endless natural wonders, it's truly a majestic place where I spend a lot of my time hiking and exploring. I spent a lot of time babysitting while I was in high school and college. My mom gave birth to my youngest sibling when I was in high school (a 17-year age gap), so I spent significant time caring for him as an infant. I also have two nieces and one nephew whom I absolutely adore. I love kids and working with people in general, and I am very good at it. I worked in sales for 8 years in the beauty industry for The Estée Lauder Companies (ELC), so I truly enjoy connecting with others. I consider myself an empathic, nurturing, and bubbly individual who loves helping others. I also love animals. I am more of a dog person, but I adore all creatures. I used to do a bit of dog sitting in high school and currently dog-sit for a family friend. I am open to watching children, seniors, and pets, as well as helping with household services.

Booked by 1 family in San Francisco, CA

I’ve been caring for others for most of my life. babysitting at 11 for the family next door, caring for a 3-month-old, a toddler, and sometimes their 6-year-old as well. Since then, I’ve babysat and nannied for 14 years and have cared for as many as five children at once, ranging from newborns to teens. I especially love babies and am very confident with infant care, routines, feeding, soothing, and creating a calm, safe environment. I’ve been CPR and First Aid certified twice, including for infants. I’m warm, responsible, patient, highly attentive, and very safety-conscious. I’m also comfortable caring for children with allergies, illness, or injuries, and bring a calm, compassionate presence. Beyond childcare, I’ve cared for three grandparents (one paralyzed), including end-of-life care, which deepened my patience, gentleness, and reliability. I’ve also had dogs all my life and have lived with and cared for cats, so I’m very comfortable with pet care too. I’m a nurturing, trustworthy caregiver who genuinely loves caring for children, seniors, and animals.

Martina $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in San Francisco, CA

Childcare & household assistance * I’m Martina, with 2 years of professional childcare experience with children ages 2–6. I’m also happy to care for babies. * For the last two years, I cared for two boys between 2 and 5, from the bottle-and-diaper stage to driving them to preschool and activities, swimming, skiing, biking, cooking, and spending lots of time outdoors. * I’m open to a family/household assistant role and would love to be a reliable extra pair of hands, helping with both the children and the household. About me * I’m 25, the oldest in my family, with 14 younger cousins and a younger sister, so caring for children has always felt natural to me. * I’m responsible and value open communication about everyone’s needs and expectations. * I respect each family’s rules and routines, while bringing my own ideas when welcome. * I love caring for others, introducing children to new experiences, and seeing that little spark in their eyes when they learn or discover something new. * I enjoy an active, healthy lifestyle, running, swimming, freestyle roller skating; I’m also interested in art and architecture. I’d love to start right away! Feel free to message me - maybe I’m exactly the nanny you’ve been looking for! 😊

Booked by 3 families in San Francisco, CA

Hi, I’m Gabby! I’m currently in school working toward becoming a registered nurse, with hopes of specializing in pediatrics. I’ve been working with kids for several years through childcare agencies and private families, caring for children from newborns to school age. I’m comfortable with pickups and drop-offs, making meals and snacks, diapering, bedtime, homework, and taking kids to their activities. I also love doing arts and crafts, playing outside, going to the park, and keeping kids active and entertained. I’m patient, reliable, and really flexible with my availability and schedule.

“I highly recommend Gabriela. She is warm, communicative, and very responsible and reliable. I'm always nervous about introducing my kids to a new babysitter but they bonded with her instantly. She really has a way to putting kids at ease and quickly building rapport. That, combined with her great communication skills and professionalism, makes her a rare find!”

"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)."
