Mika $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Mika. I am a Japanese-English bilingual caregiver based in the San Francisco Bay Area. I am a licensed clinical psychologist in Japan with 10 years of professional experience supporting children, adults, and families. This experience has taught me to be patient, calm, observant, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I recently completed Pediatric CPR & First Aid certification. I also have hands-on experience caring for a 5-month-old baby who lives with me, including feeding, bottle preparation, diaper changes, soothing, play, and helping with the baby’s daily routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and creating a warm, safe, and comfortable environment. I enjoy reading, singing, gentle play, age-appropriate activities, and I can also introduce children to basic piano in a fun and relaxed way. I respect each family’s parenting style and routines and take children’s safety and well-being very seriously. I am currently looking for part-time and occasional childcare opportunities and would love to get to know your family.

Adonai $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a 47-year-old mom of two wonderful children. My oldest is currently in university, and my youngest is a freshman in high school, so caring for children has been a big part of my life for many years. My youngest has ADHD, which has taught me a lot about patience, understanding different learning styles, helping with homework, and creating routines that work for each child. I’m comfortable caring for children of all ages, including babies and toddlers. I enjoy cooking, listening to music, meditating, and spending quality time with children—whether that means playing, helping with homework, preparing a meal, or simply enjoying some quiet time together. I believe children need both fun and a calm, safe environment where they can feel comfortable being themselves. I’m dependable, patient, caring, and respectful of each family’s routines and parenting style. I also have a valid driver’s license and insurance and am comfortable providing transportation when needed. As a mom myself, I understand how important it is to feel confident and at ease with the person caring for your children, and I would love the opportunity to be someone your family can trust.

Hello ! I am currently working in sf Mon-Friday for a family but looking for extra hours ! I have lots of experience with all ages of children youngest being a newborn and oldest is 13. I am the oldest of 8 children so I am qualified in the baby sitting department but I had a yr of paid babysitting. I am a very patience person so I can deal with a lot of things when it comes to children, I am very reliable. I have learned throughout my years of babysitting my siblings how to handle many situations with children whether it be to entertain them, putting them to bed, bathing& feeding them to little conflicts they could have. I believe that I am the perfect fit for what you are looking for & together we can create a safe & loving environment for your children. My availability is valid for as long as you need me it does not expire. I like working with kids because they remind me of youth, love & being able to have fun. It's a beautiful thing to witness.

"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)."
