BEVERLEY $30 per hour for 1 child

I've taken care of children, homes and pets my whole life. British born and have lived in the US for 27 years. I just returned from living upstate for a few years, taking care of a huge Airbnb. I decided I can't do any more winters and am happy to be back in the city I love. I spent the last three summers also taking care of a now 6 year old. My 13 year old granddaughter and family live in Sydney, Australia. If your littles like Bluey and Peppa Pig they'll understand me! I live in the Inner Sunset and have my own car. Available for work ASAP. Happy to do light housekeeping jobs and datenights. Please don`t let my age put you off! I`m a really young 72 and am nowhere near ready for knitting in a rocking chair yet! If your little ones have no grandparents in their life, I`m a great fill in. I can tell tales of before color TV and smart phones - they are usually shocked! Looking forward to meeting my new families!

Soy muy alegre, imperativa, me gusta mucho cuidar y jugar con los niños ya que mi familia es algo grande y la convivencia con niños me hace sentir cómoda con ellos.

Con respecto a los animales, yo tengo 2 gatitos y 2 perros. Mi inglés no es súper bueno pero se un poco de lo más básico y soy una persona que se adapta alas diferentes situaciones,

Ying $38 per hour for 1 child

am currently seeking to work with a new family as the kids in the families I’m working with are growing up. I am looking to work 45 hours or more per week. I have always been interested in early childhood development. When I first moved to San Francisco from Shanghai, it was my goal to work with young children. However, I ended up having to put that on hold as I raised my daughter and my twin sons. During that time, I took classes at City College of San Francisco and when my sons entered elementary school, I began looking for work. I have found that my most rewarding work has been with infants and toddlers. Having worked at Bright Horizons for 13 years, has shown me that I’m really doing what I love. I have over a decade’s worth of experience working with infants and have worked with over 300 children over the years. Additionally, my own kids are all grown up and pursuing their passions in graduate school and in college. With over a decade’s worth of experience, I’m confident in my ability to quickly adapt to and learn from a new family and bring in my expertise in childcare as well.

"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)."
