Hi Parents, My name is Dani, and I’m a responsible and experienced caregiver with excellent references. While I have a special passion for working with babies aged 0-2 years, I bring over 8 years of experience caring for children of all ages, including multiples. Parents trust me, and I form loving, affectionate bonds with all the children I care for. I’m an easygoing person who loves to take little ones on outdoor adventures to nature parks, zoos, museums, story times, and playgrounds. I focus on helping them grow up to be kind and gentle individuals, ensuring their experiences are always fun and enriching. I engage with children actively, encouraging and supporting them to reach their next milestones, all while prioritizing their safety and well-being.

I’ll be happy to answer any of your questions. My life was full of small stories, as I was born with a “setting” in my mind, that I would love to understand what life is about in general. And I learned what is most important and why. One of the most important things (better to say values) is a good supportive atmosphere in a family, which I do with all my effort trying to keep in my family and will be putting not less effort to keep it in yours. I worked in IT for 10 years, before my youngest daughter was born. She is 17 now, finishing high school. Last 15 years (before we moved to California from Chicago) I was working in 2 derections. I was organizing art, music events and was working on a concept of “kid’s club” - informal studying, where kids would be able to see where is their natural potential, their inner strengths are. I’ll be happy to work with your kids and do my best to help them to develop what they can do the best, while to keep developing other strengths. Looking forward to hear from you. I was born in Belous (we speak Russian at home). My family immigrated to US in 1989. I was at the age of my youngest daughter

Yulia has been amazing with my 2-year-old! She's deeply caring and brings the best energy to every visit. What I appreciated most is how independent and proactive she is - she respects our wishes as parents but never needs detailed instructions. When my son wasn't feeling well, she was incredibly patient and accommodating, and once he recovered, she had him out on long walks and bike rides. Highly recommend!

Greetings! My name is Agyashree, and I also go by Aggy (Ah-gee). I am a part-time Paraprofessional II with the South San Francisco Unified School District, currently working at Junipero Serra Elementary School. I have over four years of experience supporting children in both school and home settings, including those with Autism and other developmental disabilities. In my current role, I provide individualized and group instruction based on IEPs, assist with academics, implement behavior support plans, and help with daily routines such as feeding, hygiene, and mobility support. In addition to my school experience, I worked for over two years with a teenager with cerebral palsy. During this time, I assisted with safe transfers using a wheelchair and ceiling lift, supported feeding (including feeding tube assistance), administered medications, and maintained hygiene and comfort. I also focused on emotional well-being by engaging him in activities like music and reading, and used communication tools to better understand and respond to his needs. I also have experience in senior care, supporting a client with dementia and diabetes with daily routines, medication and insulin administration, meal preparation, and companionship. I am patient, reliable, and dedicated to providing safe, compassionate, and attentive care. I look forward to meeting you and your family! I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Agyy was wonderful. My kids loved her!

Hi, I'm Ilene! I'm a San Francisco native, registered nurse, and experienced babysitter currently seeking occasional childcare opportunities on UrbanSitter. As the eldest of four, I've been caring for children since childhood — and professionally since 2015. My nursing background means you can trust that your little ones are in capable, safety-conscious hands. I'm CPR certified, bilingual in English and Spanish, and genuinely passionate about creating a nurturing environment where kids feel heard and valued. When we're together, expect books, educational games, and plenty of fun! I'm reliable, warm, and fully available — I'd love to become a trusted part of your family's routine.

Eileen was really great with my 18-month old son. Would hire again for sure

"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)."
