Hi families! I’m a nanny with nearly 20 years of experience working in San Francisco, and I’m currently looking for a new long-term position starting in May. I have cared for children as young as 2 months old and have stayed with families for many years and supported them through early childhood. I especially enjoy working with newborns and helping establish sleep routines, support development, and guide little ones through important milestones. I’m calm, nurturing, and very hands-on. I love keeping children engaged through play, activities, and outings to parks, libraries, and classes around the city. I also enjoy cooking for the kids and always follow parents’ preferences and routines closely. I treat every child with love, care, and respect as if they were my own. I’m a native Spanish speaker fluent in English, and CPR & First Aid certified. I don’t drive but am very comfortable using Muni to get around San Francisco. What I am looking for: A long-term position - ready to start in May One family, no nanny share Ideally a newborn Open to part-time or full-time Preferably in Pacific Heights or the Marina but open to other neighborhoods.

Yasmin $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Yasmin, and I truly enjoy spending time with children and getting to know each child’s unique personality. I’m a caring, patient, and responsible babysitter with nearly four years of experience, and I always strive to create a safe, fun, and comfortable environment where children can feel happy and cared for. I’m happy to help with playtime, meals, homework, bedtime routines, and keeping children engaged with age-appropriate activities. I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident when leaving their children with someone, so I always prioritize communication, safety, and making sure your little ones are well cared for. I’d love the opportunity to meet your family and help make your time away a little easier!

Ana Karoline $37 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Karol, and I’m an early childhood teacher from Brazil with a degree in Education. I’m passionate about child development, inclusive education, and creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment for children. I have been working with children since I was 14 years old, with experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, school-aged children, and children with special needs. Most recently, I spent a full year caring for boy/girl twins, starting when they were just 8 months old and caring for them through their transition into daycare. This experience gave me extensive hands-on experience with infants and toddlers, including creating routines, preparing meals, developmental activities, outdoor play, and supporting their social and emotional development. I also have previous experience as an au pair, caring for two school-aged boys, including a child with autism. My background in education and inclusive education has made me especially passionate about supporting children with different needs and learning styles. I’m also comfortable helping with crafts, educational activities, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and errands related to the children. I’m warm, responsible, patient, and genuinely love being part of children’s lives. I would love the opportunity to support your family and help your children feel safe, happy, and encouraged to learn and grow.

Hi , my names Makena and I am student who graduated from SFSU in December 2024. I am looking for a family whose availability and values match mine who I can work with during the summer! I'm reliable, fun, and great with kids. For many years now I have worked with and around kids of all ages (infant-12). Some useful things to know about me: I have previously taught pre-k for two years , I have about 9 years experience and have provided childcare for five families through care. com (I have worked with most of them for a year+), I am up to date on immunizations, CPR trained/ first aid (i am willing to recertify my certificates as they have expired recently) , have a bachelors degree in early childhood education, along side my child development certificate. My passion for nannying stems from the great relationships I have built with past families and from my love of teaching. This role to me is more than just child care and I am confident in the high quality care I can provide! I do offer weekend care if informed 2 weeks in advance :) You can also check out a review on care.com should you feel inclined!

"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)."
