Booked by 1 family in South San Francisco, CA

My name is Victoria, and I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. Growing up in a big family with 7 siblings and 21 nephews and nieces, caring for others has always come naturally to me. I have years of hands-on experience with children of all ages. With so many little ones in my own family, I am comfortable with the joys and challenges that come with every stage of childhood. Whether it's helping with homework, organizing activities, or simply being a warm and reliable presence, I love being a helping hand. I am also happy to assist with household tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and running errands, making daily life a little easier for the families I work with. When it comes to senior care, my big family has taught me the value of looking after those who need extra support. I am patient, attentive, and always ready to help with meals, appointments, or simply good company. If your family could use an extra pair of loving, capable hands, I'd love to connect!

Hi, I'm Daniela. I'm 23 years old, and I enjoy knitting and various crafts in my free time. I have been working at a daycare for two years and have also done some babysitting in the past. I love working with children because they always say or do something that brightens my day. It brings me immense joy to see them grow and reach each milestone! I particularly enjoy creating art and having fun outdoors with them. I consider myself to be patient, organized, and caring, always keeping in mind what is best for each child.

Daniela is a great Nanny. Over the last year, she has been providing, loving, and reliable care for our four year old. She always communicate with us if anything happens and has a wonderful bond with our son. When babysitting she has helped us with whether it’s taking him to the park, managing the evening or nighttime routine, she is always attentive and wonderful. We trust her completely with our child.

Booked by 1 family in South San Francisco, CA

Hi! I’m Mara, 26 years old, an experienced and passionate nanny. With a background in Early Childhood Education, I bring warmth, structure, and creativity to each child’s daily routine. I have hands-on experience caring for infants and toddlers, providing nurturing support with feeding, burping, soothing, naps, tummy time, and sensory play. I love going on walks, visiting the library, reading books, and supporting early developmental milestones through play. With older children, I enjoy creating fun and meaningful experiences through games, dancing, storytelling, puzzles, and outings to parks, museums, and libraries. I focus on creating a safe, loving, and stimulating environment where children feel secure, seen, and encouraged to grow. In addition to childcare, I also offer pet sitting services. I have experience caring for cats and dogs and truly enjoy spending time with animals.

Mara is fantastic! She is punctual, responsible, and very kind. She connects easily with our 5-year-old and keeps him engaged with fun activities while ensuring he is safe and well cared for. We truly appreciate her positive energy and would gladly recommend her to other families.

Hi everyone! My name is Anne and I graduated from Oregon State University in 2021 with a Bioengineering degree and working in biotech! I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I am new to UrbanSitter but would love to begin working consistently full time or part time :) I’m available any time any day! I can also provide external references if necessary. I’ve worked as a teacher assistant at a daycare and also been a nanny / babysitter for younger kids. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. As for animals, I love love love love them and would love to help take care of your furry friends!

Anne is amazing! She helped with my 9 year old and 12 year old with afternoon jobs as well as occasional evenings, including driving my daughter to soccer practices all over Marin. She is reliable, bright, kind and has a lot of fun with kids. We would absolutely hire Anne again and recommend her while-heartedly.

"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)."
