NOTE - at this time I am already committed to a family in the after-school time period. I do often take jobs outside of what you see on my calendar - just inquire! I'm looking for work in the childcare field because really, I like spending time with kids. When I had to think what I most like to do with young people, it is having conversations with them. I find it incredibly enjoyable, enlightening, and often, hysterical to hear what children have to say. Looking after children is something at which I felt I was always very good. It comes easily to me and I am extremely comfortable around children, from infants to teenagers. My life has really come full circle, back to children. Out of college I worked for many families for nearly 15 years as a sitter, while I eased into the graphic design field as a freelancer. After 25 yrs in that field, my role was becoming obsolete, so I naturally and easily slid back into childcare for the past many years. I am proud of the relationships I've developed with the children AND their parents - many have become close friends. I am very much a mature grown-up. Childcare is my primary work and focus. I show up. Extremely rare for me to cancel. I am single, with no children - just the mandatory cats we single women are obligated to have. I have loved living in San Francisco for 35+ years, graduating from USF and the Academy of Art University with a BFA degree. For 35+ years I have lived in the Inner Richmond in the same home. I'm passionate about traveling, baking/eating, movies, crafting. I believe you will find me to be a good listener, particularly to what you, the parents, are telling me about your child and his or her care. I am patient, easy going, but not a pushover. I firmly enforce house rules when needed. I love reading children's books and doing creative projects of all kinds. Trips to the park are high on my to-do list. I'm very Muni adept but love to walk too. I'm probably not nearly as tech-knowledgeable as an average 8 year old, but I do my best and am always mindful to respond to messages and inquiries quickly.... but I am by no means overly attached to my android. My eyes and attention are meant to be ON your child, not a screen. I am certified in CPR and AED for Adults, Children and Infants by the American Safety and Health Institute. I have been certified Best Auntie by my 5 nieces and nephew and I have the mug to prove it. One note - I do have a 2 hour minimum for bookings. Thank you!

Tricia was wonderful! She was very attentive and gentle. Our LO really loved her. She was on time, responsive and I would highly recommend her.

Parents, do you need a break? I’m Deborah, nanny extraordinaire, postpartum doula, family assistant and Newborn Care Specialist. I’m also a Trustline registered, Covid vaccinated and CPR certified well experienced child care provider with a background in early childhood education providing care for children ranging in age from newborns to school age.

In addition, I am a non smoker, willing to do light housework, mommy chores and am reliably punctual. Also, should you need me to transport your children, I have my own car, car seats and an immaculate driving record. I choose to be a childcare provider because I have a genuine love of children. I I love spending time with them being silly and watching them thrive and grow under my care. I also love their sense of humor, their curiosity and most of all their honesty. Finally, if you’re looking for a trusted, kind, experienced child care provider or family assistant with a “can do” attitude look no further. And did I say I love to cook? Please read my reviews and reach out anytime. Thank you and I look forward to getting to know you and your family.

Hi, my name is Melissa! I’m a caring and responsible person with experience working with both children and pets. I enjoy building positive connections, whether it’s supporting kids with schoolwork, engaging them in fun activities, or making sure pets get the exercise and attention they need. I’ve mentored students and worked with children of different ages, helping with homework, planning activities, and encouraging their growth. I’m also a dog owner myself, so I understand the importance of regular walks, playtime, and keeping pets safe and happy. I’m comfortable with kids of all ages as well as pets of different sizes and breeds, and I always bring patience, energy, and reliability to the families I work with.

Hi, I’m Beatriz from Brazil, and I bring over 10 years of experience working with children. I began my journey in Rio de Janeiro, where I studied graphic design at university and worked as a part time camp assistant at an after school program. In 2018, I moved to California to improve my English and further my education through courses in arts, communication and kids development. From 2018 to 2021, I worked with the FR family, caring for their four children. This role strengthened my ability to manage the needs of multiple children of different ages. My daily responsibilities included drive, planning engaging activities, and supporting them with homework and online learning. From 2021 to 2023 I began working with the B family, caring for their two children—one of whom is autistic, while the other had limited social interaction due to lockdowns. My focus was on tutoring, enhancing their school performance, and supporting their motor and social development. Since January 2024, I have been working with the C family, who have three children, including a 15 month-old baby. This role has significantly enhanced my skills in caring for both infants and toddlers simultaneously. I am primarily responsible for managing afternoon activities, evening/night routine, preparing meals, and assisting with various household tasks as a family assistant. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. I’d be happy to answer any questions you may have and look forward to the opportunity to support your family!

Beatriz was awesome and hit it off with our baby immediately! She's super helpful, proactive and immediately adapted to our family. Very proactive and super-pleasant to have around! Strongly recommended.

"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

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."
