Booked by 1 family in South San Francisco, CA

Hello! I have been a nanny for the past six years, I am a very positive and kind individual. I have experience working with multiple kids at the same time. I’m good at managing and communicating with parents. I have built great bonds with the families I have worked with in the past and I am very flexible! I am a fluent spanish speaker with clean driving record and happy to enhance your child development.

Marjorie was great with my two girls. She asked great questions that gave me confidence she was equipped to handle my kids. And she put my daughter at ease, even though she tends to be quite reserved and shy.

Booked by 7 families in South San Francisco, CA

Hi families! My name is Rafaella, and I’m a career nanny with 9+ years of professional childcare experience, caring for children from newborns through school age. I’m currently recovering from a finger injury and have temporary lifting restrictions while I heal. Because of this, I’m looking for part-time babysitting or family-helper opportunities that don’t require lifting or carrying young children. I’m still able to help with older children, school pick-ups/drop-offs, activities, homework, meal and snack preparation, and keeping kids engaged and entertained. Once I’m fully healed and cleared from my restrictions, I’ll also be looking for the right long-term, full-time nanny position. I’m CPR/First Aid certified, have reliable transportation, a clean driving record, and excellent references. I’m hands-on, dependable, and love outings, activities, library trips, playdates, arts and crafts, and finding fun ways to keep children active and engaged. I’m located in Burlingame and would love to connect with families who could use some extra help while I recover!

Booked by 11 families in South San Francisco, CA

My name is Denisse a mission resident. I have 15 years of childcare experience and an extensive schooling and teaching background at Mission Cultural Center (after-school program), Precita Eyes (Assistant Mural Development), Katherine and Michael's (Summer camp). ¡También hablo español y love pets! I also have 5 years as Family assistance and can easily manage both tasks. I thoroughly focus on early speech, increasing vocabulary, motor skills, engaging in playful learning process, art projects, reading, math games, and lots of outdoor activities, encouraging Spanish verbalization as a second language and English vocabulary expansion. I have over 15 years of experience in education and childcare with infants, toddlers, and 7+ years old. I assisted with online classes and homework during the pandemic for two years in a nanny share position initially with two children and later added three more (siblings). I set goals for children's development based in their capabilities and interests. My previous achievements are: 1- Taught an 18-month-old child to speak over 50 words. 2 - Taught a five-year-old to play chess (after 4 years now, he has been in a chess club ever since, and is still passionate about it) 3- Taught a two-year-old art history by guiding execution, hands-on practice, bedtime stories, and continuous visits to the museum. (The Young and The MoMa Museum). Up today, he's capable of narrating +6 relevant stories from 21st-century contemporary artists. 4- Improved writing and reading skills in 7-year-olds through constant public visits to the library and engaging in fun quizzes and puzzles. 5- Generally, by observing a child's interest, and tailoring an engaging learning process with art, cooking, music, games, reading, outdoor, and swimming activities. Extensive experience with infants, reliable car, and CPR/First Aid certified. I look forward to answering any questions and learning more about your children and their needs.

"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)."
