Alondra $35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in San Francisco, CA

Hello! My name is Alondra, I am 25 years old and a pediatric nurse by profession. I am bilingual (Spanish and English) and have over 10 years of experience in childcare, working with children from newborns to school age, including experience with twins. I provide high-quality, professional childcare focused not only on safety and well-being, but also on each child’s overall development. My clinical background allows me to bring a knowledgeable approach to child development, first aid, and structured routines, giving families peace of mind and confidence. My caregiving style is proactive, structured, and engaging. I plan and implement age-appropriate activities that support cognitive, emotional, and social development through play and exploration. I also incorporate enriching experiences such as trips to the park, library visits, museums, and outdoor activities that encourage curiosity and interaction with the environment. Additionally, I intentionally support the development of essential life skills, including communication, respect, independence, problem-solving, and sharing, helping children grow into confident and well-rounded individuals. I am known for being highly responsible, reliable, organized, and detail-oriented. I maintain clear and consistent communication with parents, adapting to each family’s specific needs while respecting their routines and values. I hold myself to a high professional standard and strive to create a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can thrive. If you are looking for someone you can fully trust—who brings real value to your child’s development and approaches childcare with professionalism and dedication—I would be happy to support your family.

Sasha $10 per hour for 1 child

Hi again!! My name is Sasha and I’m 18 and a senior in high school. I have over two years of babysitting experience and also work part-time at a local daycare. I have cared for children ranging from 2 months to 5 years old and am available for both daytime and evening babysitting—whether you need a night out or a few hours to get things done. I’m CPR and First Aid certified to help ensure your little ones are safe and cared for. I love creating special bonds with the kiddos I take care of and witnessing their imagination is one of my favorite parts. I just recently got my license and I am able to drive during the day! I love taking little ones on fun adventures around the city, including local parks and libraries. My rate is $20 per hour, plus $5 for each additional child. I’m located in Noe Valley and would love the chance to get to know your family! I’m also happy to provide references upon request. Best, Sasha

Marney $30 per hour for 1 child

I bring over a decade of experience working with children, including many years substituting at Marin Horizon School in Mill Valley—my alma mater and a place that deeply shaped my love of learning and community. As the daughter of a middle school teacher, care, education, and emotional attunement have been woven into my life from an early age. I have extensive hands-on experience with toddlers and young children, and I’m known for creating a warm, calm, and engaging environment where little ones feel safe, seen, and supported. Alongside childcare, I regularly pet sit and genuinely love caring for animals, bringing the same level of attentiveness and affection to every being in my care. I’m a naturally compassionate and nurturing person who finds joy in supporting growth—whether that’s through play, learning, or simply being a steady, present companion. I’m also deeply curious and intellectually engaged: I speak four languages, have lived for several years in Germany and Italy, and hold a Master’s degree in American History. I approach caregiving with both heart and intention, offering a balance of reliability, warmth, and thoughtful presence.

"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)."
