Booked by 2 families in South San Francisco, CA

Hello there! My name is Juliane! I have a deep passion for taking care of children! I have two adult daughters of my own and a teenage granddaughter. I’m very energized and will definitely be able to keep up with your little ones! I have many years of experience looking after kids of all ages. I love to spend my time cooking, cleaning, going on walks, and reading! I love to read! For the past year I’ve been nannying part time for a 1 1/2 year old girl! We do things such as, go for walks, go to the park, go to the zoo, etc. I love to spend time with children because it makes my heart feel so full and I love the interaction! I believe in giving your child my undivided attention and care. I also work as a Nursery Coordinator for a church nursery where I lead a team of staff and take care of infants to age 3 year olds. I can also provide senior care! I have over 11 years of experience with seniors. I’ve spent time helping them bathe, completing household chores, cooking meals, beauty care, playing games, and overall providing companionship! Another service I offer is pet sitting. I am especially fond of dogs, but love all pets in general, so I am happy to work with families with pets. I can feed and walk dogs, as well as play with them.

I had a last minute need for childcare and Juliane came through in a pinch. She was great with the babies and with the parents. She was kind with the other workers and teen helpers. She communicated well and arrived promptly. She also had a very warm and open demeanor which put me and the children at ease immediately.

Booked by 3 families in South San Francisco, CA

Hi! I’m Rachael, a Bay Area native with a degree in Health Education from SFSU. After working in tech, I’m now looking to connect with a wonderful family for occasional, part-time, or full-time care in San Francisco. I have over 5 years of childcare experience and have cared for children of all ages, including infants as young as 3 months. I truly love being part of a child’s growth and development—watching them learn new skills, explore the world around them, and reach important milestones like movement, communication, and trying new foods. It’s incredibly rewarding to support them during these early stages. As an aunt to two nephews, I naturally love being around children. I bring an energetic, nurturing, and attentive presence, always making sure kids feel safe, supported, and engaged. I especially enjoy arts & crafts and love encouraging creativity and self-expression. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to assist with pet care, light housekeeping, meal preparation, errands, and general household support. In my free time, I enjoy hiking and spending time outdoors. Fully vaccinated CPR & First Aid certified

Rachael is great with both of our girls. 5.5 yo and 16 months. She asks lots of questions, always with a positive attitude and smile. Our toddler took to her with no issue and my older loves doing arts and craft, puppet shows with her. We are excited to have her for a whole month!

"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."

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)."
