Eva 1 review
$34 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in South San Francisco, CA

Hello! My name is Eva and I am 25 years old. I was born and raised in San Francisco. I come from a big family with 7 siblings with several nieces and nephews and I began babysitting at a young age. I absolutely love being around kids because they bring so much joy and positive energy. For about 2 years, I worked with kids ranging from the ages 5-10 so I learned a lot within that time. I learned how to be patient with them but also having fun with them at the same time. They bring me so much happiness and I always have a good time with them. I also have experience with toddlers and infants. I worked at a daycare for about 1 year and I was usually alone with 4 babies for a while and then 8 toddlers at another time. With the babies I would watch them, feed them, and then put them down for a nap. With the toddlers I mainly watched them play and then fed them snack. I also have previous experience with 2 families that I connected with through UrbanSitter where I would pick the kids up from school, take them to after school activities, take them home, and feed them dinner. I have a love for kids and hope that I continue to work with them in the future. Thank you for taking your time to read this and I am more than happy to answer any questions. :)

Eva has been taking care of my clients’ 14-month-old daughter on a part-time basis since February 2024. Her work has included feeding her, playing with her, driving her to and from Montessori daycare, light housekeeping (such as laundry, dishes, disinfecting toys), bedtime routine, and helping with the family dog. She traveled with the family both domestically and internationally and was such a big help to everyone! Eva listens carefully, takes direction seamlessly, and works proactively to identify and complete tasks. She is a good driver and can be trusted to adhere to parents’ expectations. She has an incredibly calm demeanor and maintains a positive attitude, even when she’s working long days or baby girl is fussy. We recommend Eva to anyone seeking a sitter. Thanks Eva!

Grandma experienced with kids looking forward to helping raise more kiddos now that my grandkids are grown. Looking for occasional jobs. Available in San Jose and San Francisco.

She was a wonderful babysitter—warm, attentive, and instantly connected with our 3-year-old daughter. She kept her happily engaged with age-appropriate play, followed routines perfectly, and made us feel completely at ease. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to other families.

Hi again!! My name is Sasha and I’m 18 and a senior in high school. I have over two years of babysitting experience and also work part-time at a local daycare. I have cared for children ranging from 2 months to 5 years old and am available for both daytime and evening babysitting—whether you need a night out or a few hours to get things done. I’m CPR and First Aid certified to help ensure your little ones are safe and cared for. I love creating special bonds with the kiddos I take care of and witnessing their imagination is one of my favorite parts. I just recently got my license and I am able to drive during the day! I love taking little ones on fun adventures around the city, including local parks and libraries. My rate is $20 per hour, plus $5 for each additional child. I’m located in Noe Valley and would love the chance to get to know your family! I’m also happy to provide references upon request. Best, Sasha

"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)."
