Booked by 1 family in San Francisco, CA

I am a physician with a background in pediatrics, psychiatry, and psychotherapy. I completed my medical education in Ukraine and have extensive professional experience working with children, adults, and families. My medical background helps me stay calm, attentive, and responsible, especially when it comes to a child’s safety, health, emotional needs, and development. I understand children’s behavior and developmental needs and know how important it is to create an environment where a child feels safe, respected, and comfortable. I am warm, patient, energetic, and genuinely enjoy spending time with children. I’m happy to play, read, go for walks, organize age-appropriate activities, prepare simple meals, help with routines, and provide attentive care while following the parents’ preferences and household rules. I am also comfortable with pets and have experience caring for animals. I am reliable, organized, have a valid driver’s license and my own car, and am comfortable driving when needed. I speak English, Ukrainian, and Russian. I am currently based in San Francisco and am looking for nanny, babysitting, family assistant, and pet-care opportunities.

Amira $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello familles, My name is Amira and I'm a 29-year-old student. I am available for a part-time or full time nannying position. I have 5 years experience working as a nanny. I love children and I have worked with them ever since I was a teenager. I also give piano lessons to children aged between 4 and 11 years old. French and Arabic are my native languages but I'm also very comfortable speaking English. My main tasks as a nanny were driving the kids around (pick ups and drops offs to/from school and to different activities), taking care of them in the morning or/and in the afternoon after school, and helping them with their homework. I am very patient and caring. I have a Californian DL and a car and I would happy to provide references. Please feel free to reach out to me for further information :)

Erika Buitrago $29 per hour for 1 child

I am a Hispanic nurse who has been living in San Francisco for around two years now. I am currently working in an assisted living building, but looking to expand my career opportunities here in the Bay Area. I have worked in hospitals for eight years taking care of all age groups. In the last three years before coming to the United States I was taking care of children in an intensive unit. I am also a mom of a 16 year old boy, which I consider is the best experience in my life. I have taken care of many children in non medical settings, for instance, my 2 little nephews who are 1 and a 1/2 and 2 and a 1/2 years old. Being a mom made me more sensitive and aware of how important it is for parents who is taking care of their love ones. I like to cook and spend time around the nature. I am very confident in my ability to care for people and the environment around me. I hope to hear from you soon!

"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)."
