Juanen $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Juanen! My wife and I moved to San Francisco two years ago from Barcelona, Spain, and we absolutely love the energy and vibrant culture of this city. I hold a background in Industrial Engineering and Graphic Design, but teaching and working with young people has always been one of my greatest passions. Back in Barcelona, I spent over 9 years as a middle and high school teacher (working with students ages 12 to 18). My main goal as an educator has always been to empower each student, encouraging them to discover and build on their unique strengths and capabilities. In addition to teaching, I was a competitive track and field athlete. I used that expertise to coach younger kids (ages 6 to 12) in both track and soccer, teaching them teamwork, active living, and healthy habits in a fun, positive environment. I am also passionate about cooking—it’s one of my favorite ways to share a bit of Spanish culture and enjoy a meaningful cultural exchange! Whether your family needs homework help, engaging sports/activities, or reliable and caring support, I’m here to help create a positive, safe, and motivating environment for your children. Feel free to reach out—I'd love to connect!

Hi my name is Karina, nice to e-meet you! My experience teaching younger children and the love I give my two nieces have instilled in me a deep commitment to positive and attentive care. I am excited to bring my passion for fun, enriching activities into your home—whether we're getting creative with arts and crafts, enjoying fresh air at the park, or making a simple, tasty meal together. I genuinely enjoy the time I spend with kids, focusing on their well-being, reading them wonderful stories, and fostering a safe, encouraging environment where they feel happy and respected. You can count on me to be reliable, responsible, and enthusiastically engaged with your child.

Eva $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Eva. I recently moved to San Francisco after spending six years in Los Angeles. For the past two years, I worked at a private Jewish day school as a teaching assistant and nursery co-lead teacher, where I cared for children ages 2–4 and 6–10. Supporting children's learning, emotional development, and friendships was incredibly rewarding, and I loved helping them grow with confidence and curiosity. Over the past four years, I was also deeply involved in the Orthodox Jewish community, where I spent a great deal of time caring for and engaging with children of all ages through community and family life. Before that, I nannied for a family with two young boys and two dogs for several years during high school, giving me additional hands-on childcare experience. I am warm, calm, patient, and dependable, and I genuinely love experiencing the world through children's eyes. I enjoy creating a safe, engaging environment where children can learn, explore, and have fun. My background in education allows me to incorporate age-appropriate learning, creativity, and emotional support into everyday routines. Outside of childcare, I love cooking, spending time outdoors, and being around animals. I am also a musician, and have been singing and playing guitar for the past 15 years. I grew up playing various instruments, including piano, violin, cello, saxophone, bass, and drums. I am highly organized, efficient, and work well as part of a team. I have a clean driving record and am comfortable driving if a family vehicle is available, although I do not currently own a car.

Natalie $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Natalie, I'm 27, and I’m an experienced educator and caregiver who genuinely loves spending time with kids. I recently moved from Colorado to SF. Prior to moving, I worked with children from toddler age through middle school as a preschool teacher, elementary and middle school teacher, literacy interventionist, substitute teacher, and youth sports coach. I would be happy to provide references from any or all of these roles! I’m warm, patient, dependable, and love getting to know each child’s unique personality and interests. I’m always happy to read, do crafts, play games, get outside, help with homework, or just be silly and have fun! I’m also comfortable helping with meals/meal prep, transportation, household tasks, and pets. I strive to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves!

Booked by 4 families in San Francisco, CA

Hello, my name is Ginna , I’m 32 years old, and I live in Pacific Heights. I have over seven years of experience caring for babies and toddlers, including nanny share arrangements, and I’ve had the joy of working with several wonderful families across the Bay Area. I’d be happy to provide excellent references upon request. With kids, I love planning engaging activities—playgrounds, walks, libraries, museums, and play dates if possible! I’m very familiar with local spots like Lafayette Park, Alta Plaza, Broadway Park, and Moscone Park, where little ones can play, explore, and enjoy the outdoors. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can grow and learn. I enjoy helping families establish routines that are not only consistent but also fun and educational. Families usually describe me as punctual, communicative, easy to talk to, honest, and reliable, which helps build a smooth and positive relationship with both children and parents. I’m bilingual (English and Spanish) and can naturally incorporate Spanish into activities if parents would like. I also help with children’s laundry, cleaning bottles, tidying toys, light meal prep, and other small tasks that support the family routine. I am CPR and First Aid certified, hold a valid driver’s license, and always bring patience, warmth, and a positive attitude to the job. I’d love the opportunity to meet your little one and learn how I can support your family. Best regards, Ginna

“Ginna was great with our 3 month old. Punctual, kind, and very experienced. ”

"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)."
