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.

Booked by 9 families in San Francisco, CA

Hello families! I'm Jessica. Children learn and thrive best when they feel safe, cherished, and engaged-and that's the foundation of everything I do. Over my 10 years as a nanny and caregiver, I've cultivated an affectionate, playful approach that keeps kids happy, active, and curious.Having spent 5 years on the Wellthy Care Network, I am deeply familiar with delivering structured, dependable, and high-quality support. Being bilingual allows me to enrich children's routines with multi-language exposure in a fun, natural way. Whether reading stories, singing songs, or organizing creative activities, I look forward to giving your family peace of mind and your children a warm, supportive companion!

Kait $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a 26-year-old registered nurse who recently relocated from Boston, and I’m excited to connect with a wonderful family in my new area. For the past four years, I’ve worked as a registered nurse on a neuroscience unit, caring for a very vulnerable patient population. This experience has strengthened my patience, compassion, responsibility, and ability to stay calm and attentive in any situation. Alongside nursing, I have approximately four years of part-time babysitting experience through a summer babysitting company on Cape Cod. I’ve primarily cared for children over the age of one and truly enjoy creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for kids. Outside of work, I’m very active and love playing soccer, running, swimming, hiking, and exploring new places. I’m naturally curious and enjoy getting outside and finding new activities to do. I’m also happy to help with cooking, driving, homework, errands, and caring for dogs (I am unfortunately allergic to cats!). I’m BLS and ACLS certified, and I bring the same level of care, attentiveness, and responsibility to babysitting that I bring to nursing. My loved ones would describe me as patient, compassionate, dependable, and easygoing. I’m currently looking for either part-time or full-time childcare opportunities and would love the opportunity to get to know your family!

"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)."
