Maribel $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I moved to San Francisco four years ago from North Carolina and graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science. My career naturally evolved into science education with elementary-aged children, and I now nanny full-time. With six years of childcare experience working with newborns through six-year-olds, I love providing hands-on care and learning opportunities. I follow children’s natural curiosities while staying closely attuned to their cues around feeding, rest, and play, creating a supportive and engaging environment where they can thrive.

Yaime $30 per hour for 1 child

I genuinely enjoy caregiving because I like being someone people can depend on. I enjoy creating a safe, comfortable, and positive environment for children, being patient with them, helping them learn and grow, and making sure they feel cared for and supported. I’m drawn to caregiving because I value patience, compassion, and human connection. I like helping people feel comfortable, respected, and supported while maintaining their independence and dignity. I’m the oldest of six siblings, so caring for others and being responsible has been an important part of my life from a young age. I learned to be patient, dependable, attentive, and helpful, and those qualities are a big part of who I am today. I currently do not drive and do not have a driver's license or personal vehicle, so I’m looking for positions that are accessible by public transportation or within a reasonable distance.

Grace $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Grace. I'm a dedicated caregiver based in San Francisco with a passion for working with children. I love babysitting and have been caring for kids of all ages since I was young. Growing up, I helped raise my four younger siblings — handling everything from meals and bedtime routines to homework and keeping the peace! I've also babysat regularly for families in my community, so I'm experienced with a variety of ages and personalities. I'm patient, nurturing, and calm under pressure. Kids feel comfortable with me quickly, and parents can trust that I'm reliable and communicative. Happy to work with dogs and cats!

Sonia $40 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Margy 🌸 I have over 15 years of experience caring for children, with a strong focus on infants and early childhood development. I specialize in creating structured, consistent routines that support healthy sleep, feeding, and overall development. I’m very comfortable managing full-day schedules and adapting them as the child grows. I have hands-on experience introducing solids, establishing positive mealtime routines, and supporting independent sleep using gentle, responsive techniques. I’m highly attentive to each child’s cues and always aim to create a calm, nurturing, and stimulating environment. I also prioritize engaging children in age-appropriate activities that support developmental milestones—such as tummy time, sensory play, language development, and outdoor exploration through walks and outings. In addition to childcare, I help maintain an organized environment and assist with child-related tasks like laundry, meal prep, and keeping play areas clean and inviting. I am CPR/First Aid certified, a non-smoker, bilingual (English/Spanish), and fully vaccinated. I can provide excellent references. I truly enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents, and being a supportive part of a child’s early growth. I would love the opportunity to connect with you—thank you for your time and consideration. Nanny Margy 🌸

"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)."
