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!”

Hi! My name is Althea, and I’m a 30-year-old recent nursing school graduate currently preparing for my nursing board exams. I have over 10 years of babysitting experience caring for children of various ages, and I am also a mom to a wonderful 4-year-old daughter. I am patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy working with children. In addition to providing a safe and fun environment, I can help with meal preparation, light housekeeping, organizing, and transportation to and from school, sports practices, and other activities if needed. My background in healthcare, combined with years of childcare experience, has taught me the importance of safety, communication, and compassionate care. I would love the opportunity to support your family and help make your day-to-day life a little easier. I look forward to connecting with you!

:::Attention::: Full time availability July to Late-August. Would love to help you out during the summer and maintain a long term occasional/semi-regular babysitting/nanny relationship. Hello families! I am professional nanny on the hunt for wonderful families and children to work with! I have 20 years of experience as a professional nanny and family/household assistant caring for children ranging from 1 month of age to 11-years-old. I have worked with many families in their homes in the Bay Area and abroad, caring for children of all backgrounds. I view myself as a loving "big sister" who will take care of a child's basic needs with love and attention, and also do lots of playing and developmental activities such as reading, playing outdoors, drawing, singing, clean-up time...all the fun things! I value safety first, both emotional and physical, when working with children. I also value their growth and nurture a sense of adventure and confidence in their abilities to learn and grow! I am a San Francisco Native, born and (mainly) bred in The Mission as well as all four corners of The Bay Area and have 12 years of experience driving children around the City (I have been driving since I was 16-years-old and am 43 now 😌). I have a master’s in French (I lived in France for three years) and I am also a Native Spanish speaker as I am first-generation American. I would love to send you my résumé and tell you about my experience, and I will most definitely be looking forward to hearing more about your family. P.S. I only have a few reviews because I usually work with my nanny agency as generally I am a career nanny that keeps positions for two years minimum but I am more than happy to send you my references and/or meet with you so we can get a feel for each other’s vibes. P.P.S. My rates stated on here can be flexible depending on the number of children and tasks. My rates are flexible for very occasional babysitting, so please reach out even if your budget is a bit lower.

Hi parents! My name is Chelsea (Yulan). I have 3 years of babysitting experience and a clean driving record. I’ve cared for children of all ages, starting from 3 months old, including those who are sick. I’m also happy to help with pets — walking dogs, feeding them, and more. I’m fully vaccinated, in good health, and can wear a mask if preferred. I’m reliable, responsible, and available for school pick-ups and drop-offs. I can also cook and prepare meals for children. Sometimes I help doing kids laundry as well. I also specialize in evening and date-night babysitting — helping parents enjoy their time out while I make sure everything at home stays calm and safe. Parents often tell me they feel completely at ease knowing I’m there. I’d love to help you enjoy your night out worry-free!

“Thank you so much!! She did an amazing job plugging into our family on short notice and our toddler loved playing with her ”

"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)."
