Marvin $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Marvin! I’m 22 years old and from San Francisco. I currently work as a hairstylist, but I also have a passion for caring for children and pets. I have the most experience with newborns and kids ages 10 months to 5 years old. Coming from a big family where there’s always a new baby around, I’ve grown very comfortable caring for little ones. Some of my favorite activities with kids include dancing, outdoor play, painting, cooking, and even winding down with a good movie. I enjoy keeping children engaged, safe, and happy while helping them learn and grow. I’m also great with pets—I can help with walking, feeding, playtime, and giving them lots of attention. I’m comfortable with all kinds of animals and love keeping them active, happy, and cared for.

April $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m April! I am a single mom to a beautiful 3 year old. Our babies are precious and sacred, if entrusted to my care, I promise to take care of them as I would my own baby! I enjoy taking care of babies/children. I have taken care of infants as a babysitter also from ages 5-10. I have also been a TA in a summer program to children from ages 6-13. I like to do makeup, play music, spend time with family and exercise in my very limited free time! I am BLS certified and have a genuine care for other human beings. For this reason I am completing pre reqs for nursing (currently doing child development course which is so insightful!) im hoping to go into pediatric nursing later on. I’m also fluent in Spanish. I’ll be thrilled and happy to hear back !

"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)."
