Hello there! 👋 My name is Andy, and I bring almost 15 years of professional childcare experience (including 5 years of being a live-in nanny) working with children ranging in age from 1 month to 15 years old. I’ve been on Urbansitter since 2013! In addition to my nannying background, I have 11 years of experience as a trusted dog sitter, house sitter, family assistant and house manager...helping busy households run smoothly by offering support with scheduling, errands, organization, and day-to-day tasks. Please check out my reviews from wonderful families I’ve worked for in the past! I’m known for being nurturing, creative, and calm under pressure. I genuinely love being around children and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them to grow and thrive. I especially enjoy incorporating art, photography, and imaginative play into my time with kids. Whether it’s helping with homework, cooking kid’s food, preparing healthy snacks, doing kid’s laundry or managing routines, I bring thoughtfulness and care to every part of the job. I’m a non-smoker, allergy free, COVID and Tdap vaccinated, trained in CPR and First Aid. I have a clean driving record (I can drive a stick shift ;) and am very comfortable driving in the city and on the freeway. I prefer driving kids in parent’s car for liability and insurance reasons. I’m currently open to occasional babysitting, date nights, or regular positions with families who are great communicators and want someone fun and safe. Open to cash or payroll with benefits. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions and I look forward to meeting you and your family! Warmly, Andy Areas I serve: SF, East Bay, Marin County, Sonoma County PS: I’ve recently had several families booking me in advance and then canceling on me a few hours before the job starts, so I now require a full payment if you cancel less than 72 hours before the job starts. Thank you for respecting my time! PS 2: I am not accepting any bookings south of San Francisco.

“Our child warmed up to Andy quickly, and was excited to play right from the start. Meal time and nap time also went very smoothly. We’re really thankful Andy was able to help our family on short notice for the few days we needed extra support ❤️”

**Elementary School Art Teacher new to SF!** Hello! My name is Amanda, I'm 31, I am a creative person who loves children! I've spent the past four years working as an elementary school art teacher in Massachusetts, and before that, I was a nanny in NYC with experience caring for children of all ages. I’ve been in California for 9 months and helping homeschool in San Jose. I definitely have a lot of experience in an educative enviroment, and prefer an educative enviroment for myself and other always. A bit about me: I practice yoga and tai chi, I'm learning Chinese and Urdu, My degree is in applied psychology and philosophy with the intention of being an existential psychotherapist for adults and an art therapist for children. I started my school's first meditation club, and I host events for women to gather to make art and connect. I love talking with kids, listening to them, asking questions, and seeing the world through their eyes. I'm also able to bring art supplies and give fun, hands-on art lessons, like jelly printing! As a teacher and caregiver, I focus on creating a safe, imaginative, and mindful environment where kids can express themselves freely and feel deeply cared for.

Hello all, I am a young Human Resources professional and have been working with children 10+ years. When I was a teen, I discovered that I had a tremendous passion for making kids laugh, learning how and why kids think the way they do, and simply being in a happy-spirited environment. My first babysitting job consisted of three children when I was only 15 years old. Yes, it was a handful but I learned to work around the unexpected interaction. Since then I was recommend to more than five different families, which is when I learned I could not use the same babysitting skill or routine for each family. Furthermore, as a psychology major, I have enhanced my leadership skills as a tutor in two educational programs: Coleman Leap and Next Generation Scholars. These programs have required me to help students (either ages seven to nine or eleven to sixteen) with doing homework, studying for tests, and playing recreational activities. I am a very kind, patient, and friendly babysitter; I try my best to interact with the kids and demonstrate respect. Please feel free to email, call, or text me if you would like to know more or need a sitter. I am only available for ocasional date nights and overnight weekend gigs. I am also wiling to provide references! Unfortunately, since I get asked to babysit frequently I have a cancelation rate equal to 50% owed for the booking. - Kathleen

“Kathleen was wonderful! My son had some separation anxiety but I came home to a very happy boy after playing with Play-Doh and spending time outside. I would definitely hire her again.”

Hey there! I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) childcare professional originally from Colombia, with over 5 years of experience working with families and schools in the Bay Area. Able to travel during the summer — June and July I currently work as a Bilingual Paraprofessional in Special Education and am a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) at a high school, supporting students with diverse learning and behavioral needs. My background has given me a strong foundation in child development, emotional regulation, routines, and positive behavior support — always with patience, warmth, and structure. I’ve worked with multiple children at the same time, from 4 months to 16 years old, both as a nanny/sitter and in educational settings. Families often describe me as calm, creative, responsible, and adventurous, with an easy and natural way of connecting with kids. I love being an active caregiver: crafts, tutoring, outdoor play, storytelling, building forts, drawing, cooking/baking lessons, and other hands on activities, reducing screen time. I’m currently available for occasional babysitting, and especially interested in travel nanny opportunities during summer and school breaks.

"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)."
