With my employers, I have worked with infants, toddlers, school age children and adolescents for the past 14 years. Additionally, I’m a San Francisco native and have been a nanny for several years for lovely families. I love children and enjoy working with them and take my responsibilities very seriously. I assure you of my honesty and integrity. I can handle music, beach, playgroups, park activities, traveling, arts & crafts, learning differences and special needs. I have a valid driver license. I am CPR and First Aid Certified. My references are available upon request. I look forward to meeting your family.

Very helpful smart young woman

Hello Families, My name is Mariah, and I have been a nanny and family assistant for 13 years. I have experience working with children(twins) of all ages, and I pride myself on being kind-hearted, reliable, and trustworthy. Childcare Experience: I specialize in working with infants and toddlers, providing care such as: • Diaper changing • Feeding and managing sleep schedules • Montessori-style play and activities • Potty training • Creating sensory activities tailored to developmental stages I’m passionate about arts, games, and spending time outdoors. Above all, I focus on ensuring a safe and nurturing environment for the children in my care. I am also CPR/First Aid certified and Trustline certified. Family Assistance: In addition to childcare, I bring experience in various family assisting tasks, such as: • Meal prep and dinner planning • Driving children to activities • Organizing and maintaining schedules • Grocery shopping and running errands • Car and house maintenance • Researching and booking travel • Pet care A Little About Me: I am an animal lover and enjoy integrating this passion into my work when possible. If you feel that my experience and qualities align with your family’s needs, I’d love the opportunity to connect.

Mariah was wonderful to work with; she helped us for a few mornings with our two boys (infant and 4). She jumped right in, got them both out the door and still had time to clean. She knew the right things to ask in the boys routines, took initiative in organizing our mess (which we desperately needed) and was fun to chat with. We would hire her again

Booked by 3 families in San Francisco, CA

I am a passionate and loving nanny with six years of experience, including the last three years in the United States. I am 27 years old and originally from Istanbul, Turkey. I have an adventurous and playful personality and truly enjoy spending time with children. My favorite part of my job is building strong relationships with the children and their parents. I love working with kids because of their sweet, playful energy, which comes naturally to me. I find it deeply rewarding to teach children new skills and to watch them grow, develop, and express their unique personalities. In addition to nannying, I am a physical education and sports teacher, running coach, certified pilates instructor, and personal trainer. I am majoring in anatomic kinesiology and am knowledgeable in physical development games and activities for children. I enjoy dancing, hiking, exercising, listening to podcasts, and spending time outdoors with friends and family. I would describe myself as kind, respectful, and caring. I value mutual respect with my employers and hope to build a positive, trusting relationship where I feel like part of the family. I hold a babysitting certificate, am CPR certified, up to date on vaccinations, and I do not smoke. I am comfortable with pets and actually prefer them. While I do not own a car, I have a valid driver’s license. I would love to chat. Thank you for your time and consideration.

👋 If anyone is in need of the most reliable, clean, energetic, positive, responsible, engaged nanny we’ve ever met, please pick Esra! Esra has been working for our family for 8 months and we hoped to work with her for a lifetime but are unexpectedly moving. Esra is our 14 mo old daughter’s best friend - she lights up our day when she walks in the door. She plays with our daughter every second of the day and takes her to the park to play with other children 2x per day. She is proactive in teaching our daughter new things and shares ideas with us for child development. She cooks and prepares all of our daughter’s meals which started with homemade purées and has evolved into full meals. She is tidy, and leaves the house as she found it every day. She is always on time, smart, driven, speaks good English, and communicates well. Our nanny partnership has been a great investment for our daughter - we couldn’t haven’t had life here in SF any other way. Our heart breaks leaving the city because it means we must leave Esra. We hope she finds an amazing new 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."

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
