Hi there! I’m Ashley, a college student who loves helping families keep their homes running smoothly. While I have experience caring for children of all ages, I especially enjoy working as a mother’s helper and family assistant. I truly enjoy household support tasks like laundry, dishes, tidying, organizing, errands, meal prep, and helping create a calm, clean, and organized home environment. I’m proactive, dependable, detail-oriented, and happy to jump in wherever extra support is needed. I’m also comfortable around children and pets, and I always aim to bring a warm, positive, and supportive presence into the home. As a big dog lover, I’m happy to help with pet care as well!

“Ashley is communicative and very proactive. She jumped right in to helping out our family and is very pleasant to work with! ”

I'm Amy, a full-time nanny based in San Francisco with over 5 years of experience caring for infants and toddlers. Since January 2025, I've been working with two families in a nanny share (started when the children were 6 and 9 months old) and will be finishing with them in January 2026. I'm now looking for my next full-time position (40+ hrs/week) with one child, twins, or a nanny share in San Francisco. I'm known for being warm, dependable, and highly communicative, and for creating a calm, nurturing environment that supports early development through reading, music, and engaging routines. I'm also CPR/First Aid certified (July 2024), fully vaccinated, and hold a certification as a Pediatric Sleep Consultant, specializing in newborn care and gentle sleep foundations.

“Amy has been taking care of our 2 year old for the last half a year. Our daughter felt at ease and really enjoyed the time they shared. Amy is reliable, always on time and happy to think along in different situations. The daily schedule included a stroll and lunch at the park with lots of playing and interaction with other kids. At home Amy played creative and educative games and read books.”

Dear family Hi! My name is Jennifer. I’d love to share a little about my experience as a nanny/ family assistant. If you’d like to know more about me, I’d be happy to set up a phone call or even a trial day so we can meet and see if we’re a good match. I consider myself a grounded, friendly, warm, honest, respectful, and with a loving spirit person. I started babysitting when I was 17 years old because of my innate comfort with children and being able to connect with them at their level while respecting them. I am up to date with a CPR certification for all ages, I have experience taking care of kids of different ages but I specialize in infant and toddler care. During the last years, I have been working as a full-time nanny and family assistant, I love my job! I love to spend time outside, take kids to the park, library, activities, or do some art at home. 2[removed]: I worked as an au pair for two years with an amazing family in Sacramento, taking care of two girls(5 months and 4 years old) Feb 2021- May 2022: I took care of two amazing girls (4yo and 9yo) and a baby boy (5 months old). Sept 2022- Jan 2025: I worked for a family in San Jose Ca, taking care of two boys (15months and 5 years old) I used to do drop-offs, pick-ups from school, and activities, and care for the baby all day from 7:30 to 4pm, including diapering, feeding, napping, reading, singing and walks to the park and library. 2025- now: I am currently helping several families different times a week, taking care of kids that are 10months old, 2 and 5 years old and also helping some one of the families as a family assistant (grocery shopping, packages return/delivery, dry cleaning pick up, etc). My responsibilities have included, driving kids to/from school or activities, taking them to the park, playing, reading books, cleaning after them, everything kid’s related. I know how tough it can be to find the right match that you can trust and feel comfortable leaving your precious little one with. Rest assured, my primary intention is to give quality care to your child, support you in every way I am able, and create a safe environment for your dear ones. Please if you have questions or need references of my previous work let me know and I’ll be happy to share the info with you. I have transportation and a clean driving record. Thank you!

"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)."
