Megan 1 review
$28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in San Francisco, CA

Hi - I'm Megan. I'm in my 30's and am offering child care, pet-sitting and household services. I had a big family growing up - four siblings and over forty cousins. As the eldest sibling, I would often be found changing diapers, preparing meals and keeping my siblings entertained. I've babysat since I was in high school and love children. During college, I was the regular (2-3 times/wk) babysitter of two families. One family I worked with had two wonderful young sons, one with autism and one with ADHD and am well-versed in how to best provide care. In addition to childcare, I am able to assist with cooking full meals and light housekeeping. I have two small chihuahuas and am happy to help with furry friends. I have a car and clean driving record and am able to drive to appointments, activities, or do other transportation-related tasks.

“Megan Was punctual and mature. She knew how to engage my daughter well.”

Ariadne 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! my name is Ariadne, I'm an experienced nanny and a teacher. I enjoy spending time with children playing and learning. I've been working with kids for almost 6 years and my strongest experience is with toddlers and babies. I am trained in first aid, I have several courses focused on child development. My responsibilities with children have included helping them with homework, taking them to/from from school and activities, diaper changing, meal prep, potty training, etc.

“Ari has taken care of our 1 year old daughter full time for the past 10 months (daughter age 13 months- 23 months). Ari prepares her breakfast, lunch and snacks, takes her to the park and other activities, arranges play dates with other kids, plays with her, and puts her down for a nap. Ari has also taken care of our two kids (we have an 4 year old) at once. Ari is attentive and familiar with different developmental stages.”

Amaker $35 per hour for 1 child

I am a former nanny/mothers helper & preschool teacher. I have experience working with children of all ages . I have a natural gift when it comes to working with children. They gravitate towards me and somehow really open up, feel safe, and are at ease. I love working with toddlers, and kids with high energy. I think children are important, and i understand how important it is to have a village in order to raise one in this city. I am interested in part time sitting, and household services/cleaning roles❤️ I’d love to help you out! Available to support during spring break.

Kuralay $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I am Kuralay and I’m 26! I’ve been around kids my all life but I began working professionally 8 years ago as a part-time babysitter, then early child educator, then au pair and now a nanny/babysitter. Throughout these 8 years, I’ve been responsible for many different things, such as active playing, indoor-outdoor activities, meal preparations, cooking, cleaning, laundry, bath time, bed time, teaching languages (English, Kazakh, Russian, Spanish), tutoring (math, sciences), art lessons (drawing, sewing, papercrafts, embroidery, clay art, many more), swimming lessons, international traveling assistance and many more. I am skilled in many things and can cater to the family’s specific needs. Children, whom I got the honor of getting to know, often grew up to be diverse, having interests in reading, drawing, photography, sewing and being creative in general. I view every child as a unique individual and feel always honored to be a part of their life when they are gaining their first impressions of this big beautiful life. My main “talent” is my sincere and attentive care for each and every child I take care of (I still keep in touch with a lot of kids I have previously cared). I love encouraging a child’s natural curiosity. And I believe that everything in a child’s development is connected - when a child feels emotionally secure, it supports physical growth and cognitive development, and each area strengthens the others in return. Because of this, I try to create an environment where children feel safe, curious, and inspired to grow. When it comes to professionalism, I am responsible, reliable, organized and punctual. Managing multiple other commitments, I know to respect others’ time. Respect, honesty, and kindness is what I carry and expect in return.

"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)."
