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!”

Booked by 3 families in South San Francisco, CA

Hi! My name is Vanessa and I have been working with families for over 10 years and have cared for children of various different ages ranging from as little as babies to pre-teens. However, most of my experience has mostly been caring for children aged 1-5. Just a few duties have included getting kids ready for the day, drop-off and pick-up, driving to activities, outings, preparing kids meals and snacks, and potty training. A few household duties—grocery shopping, laundry, and running errands. I am open to helping as a nanny or personal/household/family assistant or both!

I’ve been watching infants, toddlers and kids since I was 14 years old, I am Mexican, I am an only child but I have a big family and I would be in charge of taking care of my little cousins and learned as I got older and then i would take care of my nephews and nieces, my responsibilities were at the time making sure they ate and did their homework, while their parents did their work and their children didn’t interrupt them. Depending on age depends on what I do, with infants and toddlers I change diapers bottle fed and prep their baby food. Kids I cook, play with them help them with their homework and help them clean up. I have experience in house care as well I cook and clean, house will always be clean and never messy under my care.

"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)."
