Booked by 6 families in South San Francisco, CA

Hello! My name is Citlali and I go by Lali. I just graduated from SFSU with a BA in Political Science. I first started caring for kiddos in 2018. I was connected to families through my sorority and have been babysitting ever since! I enjoy caring for kids so much that I recently decided to change my career path and become an elementary school teacher. I have been an on-and-off nanny with multiple families for about 8 years in San Francisco. My normal routine with older kiddos included driving the kiddos to and from school activities, preparing lunch/dinner, and putting them to bed when parents were out for the night. For the littles, we would have disney dance parties, playground time, and lots of reading time. I am comfortable driving kiddos and have been driving in San Francisco for 8 years so I know my way around! I look forward to connecting and meeting your kiddos! :)

“So wonderful with the kids! Would definitely hire her again!”

Booked by 3 families in South San Francisco, CA

Working with children and families has always been something I genuinely love and hope to continue building my career around. I have 21 units of Early Childhood Education and professional experience working in preschools as both an Assistant Teacher and Lead Teacher. I’ve also been babysitting since high school and throughout my college years. Growing up in a large family surrounded by nieces, nephews, and lots of little ones, I’ve always felt comfortable around children and truly enjoy being part of their world; their energy, curiosity, creativity, and excitement. I graduated from UC Davis with a degree in Communication and a minor in Child Development. After college, I also gained administrative and professional work experience, which has strengthened my organization, communication, and reliability. Whether you’re looking for regular childcare, occasional babysitting, date-night coverage, or an extra set of hands around the house, I’m happy to help! I can also assist with errands, household tasks, or business-related errands when needed. I’m very comfortable commuting between different cities and have experience regularly driving to and from various locations for work and childcare. I’m reliable, punctual, and happy to travel for the right family and opportunity. I understand that flexibility with location can be important for families, and I’m comfortable building that into my availability. I’m dependable, caring, patient, and genuinely enjoy getting to know the families I work with. My goal is always to create a safe, positive, and fun environment where children feel comfortable being themselves. If you’d like a copy of my resume or have any questions, I’d be happy to share it. 😊

“Marwa was really great! She was very proactive in communicating, professional, knew how to handle our 11 month old and just a pleasure to be around. Would highly recommend.”

Hi! My name is Cristina, and I'm from Colombia. I have been living in the United States for the past 7 years and am currently studying Math at City College of San Francisco (CCSF). I bilingual, I speak English and Spanish fluently. I am a responsible, caring, patient, and energetic person who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. I love arts and crafts, painting, drawing, and finding creative ways to keep kids engaged and having fun. Over the past, I have helped several families care for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I have experience with feeding, diaper changes, nap schedules, school drop-offs and pick-ups, homework help, outdoor activities, and creating a safe, nurturing, and positive environment for children to grow and thrive. I am fully vaccinated, reliable, and comfortable caring for children of different ages. I also love animals and have experience caring for pets. As a dog owner myself, I understand the attention, patience, and care that pets need. I take pride in building trusting relationships with both children and parents and always strive to provide attentive, loving, and dependable care. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I look forward to connecting with 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."

"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)."
