Elayne $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Elayne, and I’m passionate about creating a safe, caring, and positive environment for children. As a nanny, I bring patience, responsibility, and genuine affection into everything I do. Families can count on me not just to supervise with care, but also to actively engage children in activities that spark learning, creativity, and growth. I’m reliable, organized, and respectful of each family’s routines and values. With strong communication skills, I make sure parents feel informed and supported while adapting to the unique needs of each child. My natural warmth and empathy help me build trust and strong bonds, making kids feel safe and comfortable. Above all, I believe in kindness, consistency, and safety. My goal as a caregiver is to give families peace of mind while ensuring their children are happy, supported, and nurtured every day.

Hi! I’m Sofía, an experienced and caring nanny with over 5 years of childcare experience. I’ve worked with babies, toddlers, and young kids, helping with daily routines, school drop-offs, activities, homework, meals, and bedtime. I’m patient, loving, energetic, and very responsible. I enjoy creating fun and educational activities like arts & crafts, outdoor play, reading, and creative games. I’m also bilingual (Spanish/English) and happy to teach Spanish naturally through play if families are interested. I’m CPR & First Aid certified, a strong swimmer, have a driver’s license, and I’m comfortable with light housekeeping and pets. I’m very organized, punctual, and always prioritize safety and kindness. Looking forward to supporting your family!

Prompt, caring and got along well with my 5 year old. Would love to work with again.

Booked by 3 families in South San Francisco, CA

Hi, my name is Min and was a teaching staff for many years. Currently I am looking for some part-time positions since my teaching hours were severely cut this year. I love to work with kids, and I worked as a nanny many years ago. Also I time to time help my friends with their babies or kids when they need help. I’ve worked with children of all ages back in my Country from infants to pre-teens, and I truly enjoy helping kids. I believe in creating a positive, structured, and fun environment for kids, and I’m always looking for ways to support their unique needs. I am very strong in math and Physics ( I teach Physics for many years in San Francisco), and I am also pretty good in house work: cooking especially make Asian style meals, cleaning etc. I love pets: dogs and cats. If you need my help, I will help you with sincere heart.

Minh has been wonderful with my 3.5 year old daughter - very caring and fun - and also with our family dog. She's also been great helping me around our flat with laundry and neatening things up. Highly recommended! 🙌

Maria Camila $35 per hour for 1 child

I’ve built wonderful relationships through childcare — more than being a nanny, I truly enjoy becoming part of the kids’ world and playing with them. What makes me happiest is seeing them have fun and feel safe. I’m very empathetic, patient, and proactive, and I love to support the family whenever possible — whether it’s helping with light tasks or simply creating a calm, positive environment at home.

"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)."
