Hi! I’m Sofia and I have over 8 years of experience working with infants and toddlers. I’ve worked in a variety of settings including homes, daycares, schools, and share-care, and I’m fluent in both Spanish and English. I bring a playful and patient approach while helping children move smoothly through daily routines and transitions. I especially enjoy supporting children during important developmental stages and find it really meaningful to watch them grow, learn new skills, and build resilience. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to connect or learn more!

Athena $40 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Athena, and I’m a Licensed Vocational Nurse with a genuine passion for caring for children and supporting families. I’ve worked as a school nurse within the San Francisco Unified School District for 3 years, providing specialized care to students ranging from kindergarten through high school, including students with special needs and disabilities. This experience has taught me the importance of being patient, compassionate, flexible, and understanding of each child’s unique needs and personality. I’m also BLS and CPR certified! In addition to my nursing experience, I have been babysitting for over 8 years and have cared for children ranging from 3 months to 14 years old. I truly enjoy working with children and getting to know the families I work with. I would describe myself as kind, patient, dependable, caring, and easygoing. I love creating a fun and welcoming environment where children feel safe, supported, and comfortable being themselves. I’m happy to help with homework, activities, and daily routines while making sure your child is safe and having a great time. I’m currently continuing my education and working toward my Master’s degree in Nursing. As I balance school with my career, I’m hoping to find a consistent family that I can build a meaningful, long-term relationship with. I would love the opportunity to become someone your family feels comfortable counting on and to provide dependable, loving care for your children!

Gennessey $26 per hour for 1 child

In my previous traditional and non-traditional educator roles, I have always maintained strong communication with my students and their families. Depending on your child's needs, I am able to deliver literacy interventions for students ages 5–9, including phonics and comprehension, as well as math assistance, and I can provide other types of support geared toward your child's development. In former roles, I have provided 1:1 and small-group support for students needing behavioral and academic intervention. I develop and implement weekly SEL-focused lessons for children ages 4–6, teaching emotional regulation and social skills, and daily activity planning to build a safe, inclusive environment. I have also supported families outside of the classroom by providing care and preparing meals or snacks for the child and reviewing developmental goals with the child's family. Separately, when it comes to pet care, I am very familiar! I am a lucky owner of two small dogs and have experience in taking care of other animals such as cats, fish, birds, some reptiles, and amphibians. I understand every child, animal, and/or living thing has different needs. I am fully open to providing support to families and pet parents in San Francisco and the surrounding Bay Area! Also, I provide a sliding scale to accommodate your family and child's needs; feel free to reach out. I want to be able to support and serve families, as I understand child care can be tedious to find at times! I would welcome the opportunity to connect further to see if I would be a good fit for you and your family! Kindly, Gennessey M.

Holly $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I'm super excited to offer care for whatever you need! I've been working with children for two years through my roles as a substitute teacher and babysitter for close friends' kids. I work well with children because I'm thoughtful, cautious, and look for opportunities to cultivate joy and play each day. I am currently offering occasional visits during the busy Summer season, but I also offer dogsitting/walking, cleaning, and other household help. I enjoy deep cleaning, baking, cooking, doing laundry, and being helpful to lighten your load.

"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)."
