$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in San Francisco, CA

Hi, I’m Olga, a childcare provider based in the Pacific Heights area. I offer both babysitting and personal assistant services to local families. Over the past three years, I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, and early elementary-aged children. My experience includes preparing meals, feeding, school drop-offs and pick-ups, helping with homework, organizing arts and crafts activities, and engaging children in age-appropriate play. In addition to childcare, I provide personal assistant support, including running errands, organizing schedules and spaces, coordinating travel arrangements, paying bills, and assisting with a variety of household tasks as needed. I am allergic to cats, but I’m comfortable working in homes with dogs.

We highly recommend Olga. She helped our family as a mother's helper/nanny during a period of time when our second child was a newborn and my husband was returning to work. She primarily cared for our 21 month old toddler for the morning until his afternoon nap. She has a calm, patient, engaging style of care and our son immediately took to her. He looks forward to her arriving every morning. She knew kinds of play to help with his next developmental milestones. And she's able to peacefully coax him into everything he needs to do without much resistance. Having Olga around made the chaotic period of two under two go smoothly.

Hey! My name is Tiffany. I've been babysitting since I was 18 years old. I started off as a camp counselor and then started babysitting kids for other families in our neighborhood. I absolutely love working with kids from 4 to 12 but I babysit children of all ages. I love anything artistic and never miss a chance to do some games with kids I'm babysitting :). But don't worry, I'm also very good at cleaning up afterward! I love playing video games, reading, or walking in the park. I'm a dependable and qualified babysitter you can trust – Flexible Hours Available

Gabriela 1 review
$32 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in San Francisco, CA

Hi! I’m Gabriela, a warm and reliable nanny with 5+ years’ experience caring for children ages 6months - 11. I love helping with homework, cooking meals, and planning fun, creative activities to keep kids engaged. I’m experienced with school drop-offs/pickups, after-school routines, bedtime, and overnights. I previously worked in tech and am now transitioning into real estate, currently studying for my licenses—so I’m looking to care for kids while pursuing this next chapter. San Francisco native, partly raised in Germany, and well-traveled. I’m Pediatric and First Aid certified, love animals, and can help with errands or cooking for the family. I strive to create a safe, happy environment where kids can thrive.

Gabi cared for our two kids (7 months and 2.5 years) and we had such a great experience with her. She was communicative, warm, kind, and really fun with the kids. She made everyone feel comfortable right away and was very attentive. The best sign of all—after she left, my daughter said, “I like Gabi.” We would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to other families.

"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)."
