Hi! I’m a reliable, patient, responsible, and experienced nanny and caregiver with a genuine passion for caring for children and helping families create a happy, safe, and well-managed home environment. I’m able to respond quickly and creatively to challenging childcare situations while remaining calm, patient, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I believe children should have fun, but I also believe in creating opportunities for them to learn, explore, and develop their creativity. In addition to childcare, I’m an experienced tutor who has taught math and science. I’m happy to assist with homework, school projects, reading, and other educational activities. I enjoy keeping children engaged with age-appropriate learning activities rather than having them spend the entire day watching TV or playing on devices. I’m disciplined, dependable, personable, and a people person. I’m also comfortable preparing nutritious and delicious meals, as I genuinely enjoy cooking. Helping with meal preparation and maintaining a comfortable, organized home is something I take pride in. I’m nurturing, attentive, flexible, and willing to go the extra mile to support the families I work with. I understand that every family has different needs, and I’m happy to be flexible with schedules and stay longer when needed whenever possible. Most importantly, I care for children with the same patience, kindness, and attentiveness I would want for the children in my own family. I’m a sister, a friend, and an aunty, and caring for others comes naturally to me. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and learn more about your childcare needs. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Thank you, and I look forward to connecting with you!

Hi! I’m Sofía Moreno from Colombia. I have more than 5 years of experience as a nanny, including 2 years in the United States, caring for children from 3 months to 7 years old. I truly enjoy spending time with kids and creating fun, engaging activities such as going to the playground, the beach, museums, or for walks. I also love painting, making crafts, dancing, and encouraging learning through games and creative activities. Additionally, I have a degree in language teaching and experience working with children from elementary through high school. I often apply pedagogical techniques to support children in their language development and help improve their speaking skills in a natural and enjoyable way. I would love the opportunity to talk with you and learn more about your family. Don’t hesitate to contact me!

Hello families, I worked with a family for 3 years and now I’m looking for short-recurring gigs. I have had a wide variety of experiences working with students in and outside a structured classroom. (Teacher/aide)I love kids of all ages! I'm a friendly and reliable babysitter with experience caring for young children. I love engaging kids with fun activities like games, art, and bedtime stories. Looking for one-time or occasional babysitting jobs. Feel free to message me with any questions! Ariana

Hi! My name is Bella, and I’m 27 years old with 11 years of experience caring for children from infants to tweens. I’ve also previously worked with young children as a youth soccer coach. I’m a fun, reliable, and kind sitter who would love to support your family with either occasional or routine care. I’m comfortable assisting with household tasks such as laundry, meal prep, light cleaning, and pet care, and I have my own car to help with transportation as needed. I work a corporate role in Digital Merchandising during the week (Monday–Friday) but am available on weekends, evenings, and occasionally during the day. I’d be happy to answer any questions and am open to scheduling a phone interview or meeting in person. Looking forward to connecting with you! 😊

I’m a recent graduate with a B.A. in Sociology from UCLA. I have experience with children ages ranging from 4 months to 13 years old. I absolutely adore kids and have worked with them all my life. I’m also a huge animal person. I grew up in Marin, where I went to Tam High, and just moved back to live in SF! My experience includes being a teacher at Stapleton Ballet Fantasy Summer Camp while I danced at the company before college, and during college, I worked at the UCLA Lab School as a teaching assistant for grades Pre-K thru 5th. So, I am definitely available to help with homework! I have babysat since I was 12 years old, and truly love doing it. I recently started a job as a teacher at the Town School for Boys within the Extended Day Program. I hope to pursue obtaining my credentials and continue my career in education.

“Kayla is always such a gem. She's always great with our kids (6yo and 4yo).”

"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."

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)."
