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!🤗😇😇

Gabriella $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m Gabriella, and I’ve been dedicated to babysitting for over 5 years. Growing up in a big family, I was always surrounded by kids, which helped me develop a genuine love for caring for little ones. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with children of all ages, and I always treat them with the same care and attention I would give to my own family. I’m also CPR certified, so you can rest easy knowing your child’s safety is in good hands. I’m excited to bring a warm, nurturing environment to your home and help your children thrive :)

**Elementary School Art Teacher new to SF!** Hello! My name is Amanda, I'm 31, I am a creative person who loves children! I've spent the past four years working as an elementary school art teacher in Massachusetts, and before that, I was a nanny in NYC with experience caring for children of all ages. I’ve been in California for 9 months and helping homeschool in San Jose. I definitely have a lot of experience in an educative enviroment, and prefer an educative enviroment for myself and other always. A bit about me: I practice yoga and tai chi, I'm learning Chinese and Urdu, My degree is in applied psychology and philosophy with the intention of being an existential psychotherapist for adults and an art therapist for children. I started my school's first meditation club, and I host events for women to gather to make art and connect. I love talking with kids, listening to them, asking questions, and seeing the world through their eyes. I'm also able to bring art supplies and give fun, hands-on art lessons, like jelly printing! As a teacher and caregiver, I focus on creating a safe, imaginative, and mindful environment where kids can express themselves freely and feel deeply cared for.

"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)."
