Hi! I’m Hudson, and I love working with kids.

I’m CPR certified, dependable, and always focused on creating a safe, positive environment where kids can have fun and feel supported. I’m an energetic, patient, and easygoing person who enjoys staying active, playing outdoors, doing crafts, helping with homework, cooking simple meals, and keeping children engaged without relying on screens.

Diego $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in San Francisco, CA

Hi everyone! My name is Diego, I’m 27 years old and originally from Brazil. I’ve been living in the U.S. for almost six years and recently graduated from the University of San Francisco with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. While my academic background is in business, my heart has always been with children and community work. My journey with kids began when I was 15 years old. I worked as a children’s party monitor for four years, where I was responsible for caring for kids, feeding them, organizing games, dancing, face painting, and creating a fun and safe environment. That experience sparked my passion for childcare and led me to the U.S., where I became an au pair. Over the past two years, I’ve been caring for two amazing boys, now aged 6 and 8. My daily responsibilities include waking them up, preparing meals, driving them to and from school, helping with homework, taking them to their activities (like soccer, baseball, and basketball), doing their laundry, cooking for them, and helping maintain their routine. It’s been an incredibly rewarding experience, teaching me responsibility, empathy, and a deep appreciation for child development. In addition to childcare, I coach youth soccer through Project Play Potrero, a community program in San Francisco. I work with children from kindergarten through sixth grade at schools like Live Oak. Coaching allows me to share my passion for soccer while helping kids build confidence, teamwork skills, and a love for physical activity. Seeing them grow on and off the field is one of my favorite parts of the week. I would describe myself as mature, friendly, reliable, patient, organized, easygoing, and communicative. I naturally connect with kids and always aim to create a safe, supportive, and fun environment where they can thrive. I also enjoy helping families feel confident that their children are in capable and caring hands. On a personal note, I come from a big family in Brazil—I have three sisters, two brothers, and a small dog named Malu. She’s a wild little miniature pinscher who used to wait for me at the stairs every day after work. I miss her deeply and can’t wait to see her again. I loved taking her for car rides, to dog parks, and spoiling her with toys (even if she destroyed them in minutes!). Thank you for taking the time to get to know me. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and bring positive energy, care, and reliability into your home.

Abigail $24 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I’m a 22 year old college student at CCSF. I LOVE animals, kids, cooking and have a very enthusiastic work ethic. I have experience with infants, twins, autism, potty training, sleep training. I have been working with kids for 5 years. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with friends, cleaning, reading, video games, visiting the ocean, painting, sewing, or spending time with pets. My first job working with kids was at a tutoring service in my hometown where I worked with kids 5y- 14y (mostly kindergartners) in all academic subjects. My first family was a weekend job with a 3y old boy. We went on adventures to the creek and park and here I assisted with potty training. My next family was a seasonal job with a (too smart) 2y old and her (very agile) 1y old brother in Oakland. Here is where I got my experience working with multiple kids and taking them on public transit. After this I got a more permanent job with a Nannying firm in SF. I worked with them for over a year as a backup care nanny. Moving with family to family as needed. Some families only needed me for a day. Many families requested me back. Among my regulars were lots of toddlers and babies as young as 3 months. Here I gained experience with 1y old twins. Children with autism. I gained more experience with potty training and sleep training. I am confident taking kids out to public attractions like parks, zoos museums, even the beach. (above is my current charge and I iceskating). I have one more available reference. I worked for a company that teaches chess to students at an elementary level. I have my food handlers training, along with CPR/first aid for babies as well as adults. I plan to take at least one class a semester while I work. I am almost done with my AA. Thank you for reading until here. Please reach out if you’d like to get access to my references.

"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)."
