Joyce $37 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in San Francisco, CA

Hi, I am a career nanny with 2 years of experience, specializing in working with toddlers, though I am comfortable caring for children of all ages. My strengths include preparing nutritious meals, organizing educational and creative activities, and providing attentive newborn care. I especially enjoy helping children with their homework and engaging them in outdoor play, as well as activities such as writing, reading, dancing, and games. I am fluent in both English and French, which allows me to communicate effectively with diverse families. I also have specialized training in early childhood education and love incorporating creative arts into children’s daily routines. In addition, I have experience working with children at summer camps, including the Alliance Française, and I hold certifications in First Aid and State Food Safety.

Rosario $36 per hour for 1 child

August/September) Our amazing nanny, Rosario, is looking for her next family (or nanny share) as our youngest and her nanny share buddy head off to preschool at the end of August. Rosario has been with us since our daughter was 6 months old, and she has truly become part of our family. She is caring, resourceful, and communicative. She has 7+ years of experience with both single-family care and nanny shares, and shes been incredible with the girls. She helped get them on a great nap schedule, guided them through potty training, and is always sending pictures and updates throughout the day. She keeps them busy with trips to the park, library, music class, the California Academy of Sciences, Children's Creative Museum, and lots of neighborhood adventures. She also speaks Spanish with the girls and always packs an extra home-made pupusa for our kids. And she also manages to do her hair in the morning in the most adorable way. Rosario is looking for either one family or a nanny share starting at the end of August or in September. She's looking for full-time work and is open to new neighborhoods (our current nanny share is located in Noe Valley). We're so grateful for the love and care she's given our daughter over the past few years. We're going to miss her so much and can't recommend her enough. I'm happy to answer any questions or share more about our experience. (just send a dm!)

Angelina $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Angelina 😊 I’m 19, currently in college, and training to become a firefighter. My training has taught me the importance of safety, responsibility, and staying calm under pressure—qualities I bring into every childcare setting. Your child’s safety is always my top priority. I’m new to this app and excited to meet my first family here, though I do have previous childcare experience outside of the platform. I truly enjoy caring for kids and would love the opportunity to support your family in a safe, positive, and fun way HI currently work full-time at a Club Pilates studio as a receptionist and sales associate, which allows me to make my own schedule and gain valuable experience in a fast-paced environment. I’m fluent in English, Italian, and Spanish, which helps me connect with diverse families. I have six years of experience in childcare, including babysitting, working as a camp counselor for two different companies which also helped me learn how to handle multiple children at once, and a year of experience as a travel sitter for a family in Los Angeles. I genuinely enjoy working with children and have plenty of patience, often engaging them in creative activities and games. I’m happy to prepare meals for your child and can accommodate any special dietary requests. I also have two years of cleaning experience with a private client and would gladly help tidy your home if needed. I can assist your child with homework and other learning activities. I am CPR/First AID certified and currently working on my First Aid certification. If you’re interested, I’d be happy to send my full resume.

"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)."
