Deepika San Francisco

Hello, my name is Deepika. I am a Certified Nursing Assistant with experience providing compassionate care to individuals of all ages. Currently, I am a mom to a 3.5-year-old boy and pursuing my studies to become a Medical Assistant. In my free time, I would love to take on caregiving roles, as I deeply understand the needs and responsibilities of caring for children and families. As a mother and a certified professional, I bring both personal and professional expertise to caregiving. I have hands-on experience managing the daily routines and developmental needs of young children, and my training as a Nursing Assistant equips me with the skills to ensure their safety and well-being. I have been working part-time as a Behavior Technician at SFUFD, mostly at Elementary School. I enjoy engaging children in fun, creative, and educational activities, while also being attentive to their emotional and physical needs. With my background and nurturing nature, I strive to create a positive and supportive environment for every family I work with.

Karla San Francisco
$35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in San Francisco, CA

Hi there! I’m Karla, a caring, patient, and dependable caregiver who loves working with kids. I started my journey at a preschool in Hawaii, where I learned how wonderful it is to help little ones grow, play, and learn new things every day. Since then, I’ve cared for toddlers and infants, assisting families with morning routines, light housekeeping, and creating calm, happy days for their children. I especially enjoy helping babies reach new milestones and watching kids gain confidence. I always strive to bring kindness, positive energy, and flexibility to every family I work with. I’m excited to continue learning, growing, and making a difference in the lives of the families I serve. I'm available to work occasionally or part-time. Previous experience: - One year and four months as a preschool assistant teacher, where I worked with multiple children at once. (January 2023 - April 2024) at Alakaii Academy, Kailua-Kona, HI. - Five months assisting a family in Outer Richmond 3–5 days a week, helping with morning routines, pet care, light housekeeping, and quickly preparing lunch boxes for toddlers, changing diapers, and feeding infants with formula. - Seven weeks working full-time and part-time with two infants, helping create a safe and secure environment. I helped a 20-month-old learn new words, shared toys in the playground, and encouraged socialization. - Six months working temporarily with an AI company in San Francisco, helping founders worldwide care for their children when they are busy at work, assisting with transitions to new cities, showing them parks, museums, and transparent jobs, and offering swim lessons. I had the honor of improving my ability to help busy families manage housing and hospitality, and I can provide a strong reference upon request. Most of my previous families were found on Sittercity, where I hold 5-star reviews, a clean background check, clean vehicle records, and CPR certification. Now, I am looking to relocate temporarily, part-time, or occasionally as I pursue my doula certification and swim instructor certification—my hobby, naturally sharing my love of swimming. I am happy to help your family with simplicity and humility, bringing positive energy and enthusiasm for your little ones. I love supporting families. My rates depend on your needs. I provide clean, organized, professional care and value clear communication with parents.

"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."

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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
