Madison $25 per hour for 1 child

I have 4+ years of babysitting and nannying experience and love getting to know kids’ unique interests. I’m calm, organized, and adaptable, and as an older sister I enjoy being a role model and mentor. I’m also pet-friendly (big dog lover!) and happy to help with any cleaning or organizing.

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 🌸

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.

Isabella $27 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Bella, and I have spent the past two years working in early childhood education. I began as a preschool teacher and now also work as an after-school program leader for TK-age children, ages 4 to 5. Growing up in a big Italian family, I have always loved caring for those around me, and that passion naturally grew into working with young children. I especially enjoy working with this age group and creating a safe, nurturing environment where they can learn, play, and grow with confidence. I am very crafty and love doing creative, hands-on projects with children to spark their imagination. I also enjoy spending time outdoors and exploring parks, whether that’s going on little nature walks or playing games outside. As an English major in college, I have a deep love of literature, and reading to children has always been one of my favorite activities. Story time is still the highlight of my day. I would describe myself as happy, lighthearted, and easygoing, and I love creating a joyful, engaging space where children feel comfortable, supported, and excited to learn.

"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)."
