Emsters $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi I’m Emsters, I identify as non binary but I hope this doesn’t interfere on how you see me as a childcare provider. I’m 22 years old and have a strong passion for working with kids. I’m CPR and first aid certified along with other certifications. I have 8 years of experience, 4 of those years were nannying, along with daycare and preschool. I have experience working with children of all ages groups. I also have experience with children that have been diagnosed with autism, ADD, ADHD and behavioral problems. I’m very sweet and calm and have an unusual level of patience with children of all ages. I have been told that I am gifted at communicating with kids individually right where they are. I love playing, laughing, and learning as the children grow. I love to connect with the families and watch as the children grow up and seeing each individual child reach different milestones. My favorite part about being a nanny is to see the kids face light up with excitement when they discover something new and cool to them. I look forward to building relationships with the each child. As well as being an extra person to show them love. Most of my years of experience has been infant to 5 years old. I’ve none naps, feedings, bath, bed time, school pick up and drop off, overnights. I have certificates in these topics Helping Children Develop Empathy Shaken Baby Syndrome/Abusive Head Trauma ACEs and the Role of Life Experiences in Shaping Brain Development: Building Strong Brains - Tennessee ACEs Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and Safety Risks for Infants Before You Begin: New Educator Revised TN-ELDS for Toddlers: 13-24 Months Gold Sneaker Initiative Fine Motor Activities for Preschoolers Designing an Outdoor Classroom Essentials of Outdoor Safety Answering Children’s Questions Gross Motor Activities for Preschoolers

Grace $40 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Grace — a compassionate, reliable, and experienced caregiver with over a decade of professional and personal experience supporting children, families, and communities. With a background in youth development and nonprofit leadership, I bring both heart and strategy to caregiving. Professionally, I’ve led large-scale youth and family programs across San Francisco, overseeing afterschool care, summer camps, academic support, and trauma-informed services. I’ve supervised teams of 80+ staff, managed multi-million dollar budgets, and ensured safety, equity, and joy were at the heart of every program. My training in child abuse prevention, de-escalation, and first aid makes me confident in handling any situation with calm and care. Beyond work, I’ve always been someone friends and family rely on — whether it’s kidsitting, organizing households, or pet sitting. I believe all experiences are learning experiences, and that patience, empathy, and a good sense of humor go a long way. I’m also a musical lover, casual gamer, and a proud Valkyries fan — always happy to connect over shared interests! Whether caring for kids, supporting seniors, tending to pets, or helping out around the house, I bring warmth, trustworthiness, and a deep commitment to making others feel safe and supported.

Subin $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am currently building my profile on UrbanSitter, so while I don't have platform reviews yet, I pride myself on the same professionalism and punctuality I’ve maintained throughout my corporate career. I'd love the chance to prove my reliability to your family! ​My formal experience comes from working in a preschool in Japan, specifically with the 2–5 age group. Whether it’s managing group activities or one-on-one learning, I understand the developmental milestones of toddlers and young children. I also have extensive personal experience as a "pro-aunt/uncle" to my nieces and nephews, so I’m very comfortable with the daily rhythms of family life. ​Because of my corporate background, you can count on me to be punctual, communicative, and extremely responsible. I’m happy to incorporate light language learning or cultural activities if that interests your family!🤗😇😇

"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

"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)."
