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.

Alice $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Alice, 2023 UC Berkeley graduate. I'm an electrical engineer by trade but I'm looking to work more with kids because I love to do it :) I've been babysitting, tutoring, and coaching kids since I was a kid myself. I love to be outside and would be more than happy to spend time with your kids outside and off screens!

Booked by 7 families in South San Francisco, CA

Hello parents! My name is Sally, and I’m a mom of three. I used to be active on this platform a few years ago, and I’m excited to be back! I’m CPR certified and have been babysitting for over 10 years — everything from newborns to teenagers, including experience in a childcare center. Over the years, I’ve helped with school drop-offs and pick-ups, meal prep, park outings, and running errands. I have my own car, a valid driver’s license, and I’m a very safe and reliable driver. If you have any questions or would like to chat, feel free to send me a message. I’d love to get to know your family! Best, Sally

Booked by 1 family in South San Francisco, CA

I'm certified as a newborn care specialist and pediatric sleep consultant. I've spent many years working on and off with children in various roles including assisting in after-school art and reading programs, instructing children's fitness classes, and most consistently, as a nanny focused on infant/toddler development. I love being around kids of all different ages and am inspired by their growing curiosity and excitement to learn about life!

"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)."
