Booked by 4 families in San Francisco, CA

Hi families, my name is Nannaphat or you can call me Dao, I am 25 years old from Thailand, I am looking for full time or part time nanny/babysit. I have more than 5 years experience with infant and toddler. I just finished my contract with another family in San Leandro, I used work with them almost 2 years, I take care of two kids 8 months and 4 years olds Monday -Friday 6:30 am-3:30 pm and also work part time nanny on the weekend. I can speak English and Thai. I am CPR and First Aid Certified and I am very active and love to do activities with kids, I am also positive individual and enjoy being around children and spending time with them such as teach them the basic learning (color, number, Alphabet), read a book, sing a song, art and craft, dance, sport and walk around house or park I am very responsible person, if you need more information please let me know. Thank you

Dao was incredibly responsive and was able to help us when our nanny got sick at the last minute. She was so lovely with our 5-month old and he felt really quickly at ease with her. Dao’s a great communicator and leaves our house and our son’s space cleaner than when she arrived. We can’t wait to work with Dao again!

Booked by 3 families in San Francisco, CA

My name is Arrie and I just moved to the city to work for GAP, Inc! I have always loved working with kids of all ages, and I am looking to continue this work through my full time position. I don’t start until November, so I have lots of flexibility! I started working with kids as a gymnastic coach for ages 3-13. Additionally, I worked as a full time nanny for kids ages 3, 6, and 8. I am super active and excited to get to know you and your families!

Can someone say BABY WHISPERER?!?! Our toddler (she's around the one year old mark) is spirited and spunky and all kinds of sweet rolled into one and Arrie is able to swoop on in and connect wholeheartedly. She takes her for walks, notices things that our toddler gravitates towards, has helped with meal times and bath time and is INCREDIBLE at story-time and play-time. She's also the only person (not even mum and dad) to have ever got our toddler to sleep downstairs in her play area - and we're still trying to figure out her top secret formula! We're going to miss her when she starts her new full-time role soon but hope she'll pop in for date-night or weekend care in future because she's a whole vibe and our toddler thinks so, too :)

Hello Its Ayse, I’m 29 years old a caring, responsible, and positive person who truly enjoys spending time with children, discovering their world, and supporting their growth. I have previous experience in childcare and providing family support in home settings. I believe it’s important to meet not only children’s physical needs but also to nurture their emotional and mental well-being. I love organizing daily activities like games, creative projects, reading time, and outdoor play. At the same time, I always prioritize respecting each family’s values, home environment, and expectations. For me, being a reliable, kind, and understanding person for families is very important. I would be happy to be a big sister, a companion, and a safe support figure for your children. Feel free to message me anytime. I would love to connect with you and see how I can be a great fit for your family.

Ayse helped my mom take care of our 15 month old. My mom was extremely happy to get Ayse's help, repeating how attentive and positive she was. Or baby sounded very happy we well 😊 We recommend Ayse without any reservations.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
