Emely Amor $26 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in San Francisco, CA

Hi! I’m Emely, a UC Berkeley graduate with a degree in Film & Media Studies and 5 years of experience caring for and teaching children from infancy through school age. I’ve worked as a preschool teacher, elementary school teacher, and reading/writing comprehension teacher, supporting students with learning disabilities and students who need extra help staying on track. I’m warm, playful, patient, and creative, and kids usually connect with me quickly because I love reading, storytelling, imaginative play, crafts, outdoor adventures, and making learning feel fun. I’m comfortable with feeding, diaper changes, nap routines, homework help, creative activities, pet care, and light household support. My goal is always to create a safe, kind, and engaging environment where children feel supported, confident, and cared for.

NaKiyah $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello my name is Na’kiyah I was born and raised in San Francisco, and caring for others has always been a natural part of who I am. As a mother, I understand firsthand how much love, patience, and support babies need and how helpful an extra set of hands can be. My own experience caring for my child has given me strong skills with newborns and young infants. I’m 20 years old and currently in college working toward my nursing degree, which has strengthened both my caregiving knowledge and my passion for helping families. I pride myself on being reliable, nurturing, and attentive. I also love to cook and create a warm, safe, and comfortable environment for children.I would be honored to support your family in any way I can, and I hope I’m the right fit for your childcare needs!

Jaime 2 reviews
$28 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Jaime. I’m currently a paraeducator at a high school school in the San Francisco Unified School District. I am offering child services. I love working with kids and I have experience with kids with disabilities for 3 years. I have a decade of experience working with infants and toddlers. I feel comfortable working with pets, I have a cat myself. I can help out around the household. I’m detail oriented, patient and caring.

Jaime is amazing! We have a 3 year old and a 5 year old and they both love him and he’s so great with them. We work weird hours some days so it’s hard to find someone that’s reliable, but he’s perfect! He’s on top of their napping/sleep schedule, their eating schedule, he makes sure they brush their teeth and go potty before bed, the list goes on. They’re so energetic and he so patient with them and knows how to keep them entertained! The kids always look forward to him babysitting. We have nothing but great things to say about him!

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

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)."
