Booked by 3 families in South San Francisco, CA

Hi all! I’m a recent UC Berkeley graduate, and I’m also very passionate about Education and child-care which is why I’ve been tutoring, mentoring and babysitting for a while. At my most previous job, I worked at a Montessori school where I was an assistant teacher. I developed and implemented lesson plans and curriculum with assistance from Head teacher and learned to create a safe learning environment by establishing classroom rules and ensuring students follow behavioral standards. I love nannying and learning about how every child’s mind is unique. In my free time, I enjoy reading, traveling, and hanging out with family. I have references and a resume if needed.

“ Wonderful Babysitter with a Positive Attitude I've had the pleasure of having Amanda as my child's babysitter, and I couldn't be more satisfied. Amanda consistently brings a positive attitude to her work, which instantly puts my child at ease. She's incredibly thoughtful and attentive to my child's needs, always ensuring that they are comfortable and happy. I appreciate how proactive she is in engaging my child in fun and educational activities. Amanda is truly a gem, and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable and caring .”

Booked by 7 families in South San Francisco, CA

Hi! I’m Maria I’m 24, bilingual in Spanish and English, and I’ve been babysitting and nannying since I was 14. I’ve cared for children of all ages, from newborns to school-aged kids, and I truly enjoy being someone families can rely on. Growing up in a big family, I’m comfortable in busy households and know how to keep kids engaged while making sure their routines stay on track. I love doing crafts, playing games, going on walks or outings, helping with homework, preparing meals, and simply making everyday moments fun and positive. I’m also happy to help with meal prep, children’s laundry, light housekeeping, organizing, errands, and pet care when needed. I’d describe myself as reliable, patient, caring, responsible, and easy to communicate with. I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident in the person caring for their children, and I always do my best to create a safe, positive, and welcoming environment. I’m happy to provide references and would love to connect and see if I’d be a good fit for your family!

Booked by 4 families in South San Francisco, CA

Hello, My name is Heather. I have over 20 years of experience being a babysitter/nanny. I'm TrustLine certified; I was a full time nanny through college and a bit after I graduated watching children from infants to pre-teens. I have a career in renewable energy, so I’m only available on weekday evenings and weekends. Feel free to check out my LinkedIn:[removed] I love being creative (dancing, painting, etc.), playing hide and seek, dressing up, tea parties, trips to the park and local events, and above all else being a super fun and trustworthy partner of growing families!

“Heather was wonderful! My daughter had a difficult time adjusting when we left and was crying and having trouble connecting at first, but Heather was incredibly patient, calm, and understanding with her. She never seemed frustrated and gave her the time and space she needed to warm up. I really appreciated how caring and attentive she was, especially during a challenging moment. It gave me peace of mind knowing my daughter was with someone so patient and kind. I would absolutely recommend Heather and would be happy to have her babysit for us again.”

Booked by 7 families in South San Francisco, CA

I grew up in Nebraska with my mother having an in-home daycare and helped out with it after school and during the summer(from age 10 or 11 till 19 when I moved to California) I nannied a few summers and worked for a group home for mentally disabled teens and adults. Once I moved to California I worked at the daycare in 24 hour fitness. I then nannied for a child from 14months till about 2 and a half. He sadly (for me) went to Montessori School full time. I then jumped back into working with adults with disabilities. Then I worked with a kid with disabilities for a few years and moved onto a school. Which I currently do now I work in a sped classroom in an elementary school.

“We loved her. She was so relaxed and confident around our son and he loved her right away. I strongly recommend her and will definitely use her again”

"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)."
