Ryan 1 review
$26 per hour for 1 child

I ran a baby sitting services through my high school back home in Mississippi, as well as babysat my clients children often, and spent 2 years teaching acrobatic and mobility training to preschoolers

“I first knew Ryan as my hairstylist and I also hired him for some home decorating. He’s a natural conversationalist and he was amazing in his interactions with my son: he was curious and got my son talking more than he usually does with new people, Ryan’s also very knowledgeable and manages to teach just in everyday conversation, and he can easefully step into a child’s play/dream world. I’ve had Ryan babysit him a few times and they have wonderful adventures (like an interactive mining museum). I anticipate hiring Ryan again and I recommend him without hesitation. The only drawback is his hairstylist schedule, but he’s managed to shift those clients around when needed.”

Carmen $33 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Carmen and I've lived in San Francisco since 2007. I have also worked as a nanny in Texas. I am looking to take care of a child in the city. The most interesting experiences I've had in my career was being a live-in nanny for 3 years for a famous NFL family and another time I was a live-in nanny for a famous Latino singer for a year. All experiences were great and I enjoyed every moment of them.

Shanai 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

I’m a dependable and caring sitter and eldest daughter of 7 with over 4 years of hands-on nannying experience, caring for infants through children age 10. I’m patient, attentive, and safety-focused, while also making sure kids feel comfortable, engaged, and supported. In addition to childcare, I’ve also provided reliable dog and cat sitting, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets and maintaining households. I’m currently in school pursuing a nursing degree, which has strengthened my compassion, responsibility, and attention to detail. Families describe me as warm, organized, and trustworthy, and I take pride in creating a safe, positive environment for every family I work with. I look forward to supporting your family needs soon!

“Shanai has exceptional skill in care giving for young children as well as extensive experience. She has taken care of a wide range of ages of children in the neighborhood anywhere from infants to pre-teen ages. She has always been respectful of property and is extremely reliable and punctual. She follows directions well yet she is also able to incorporate fun and creativity when directly overseeing a child / children. Would definitely recommend her services - you won’t be disappointed. Not only will you continue to request her assistance, but will also recommend her to others as I have.”

Daniela 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in South San Francisco, CA

Hi, I'm Daniela. I'm 23 years old, and I enjoy knitting and various crafts in my free time. I have been working at a daycare for two years and have also done some babysitting in the past. I love working with children because they always say or do something that brightens my day. It brings me immense joy to see them grow and reach each milestone! I particularly enjoy creating art and having fun outdoors with them. I consider myself to be patient, organized, and caring, always keeping in mind what is best for each child.

“Daniela is a great Nanny. Over the last year, she has been providing, loving, and reliable care for our four year old. She always communicate with us if anything happens and has a wonderful bond with our son. When babysitting she has helped us with whether it’s taking him to the park, managing the evening or nighttime routine, she is always attentive and wonderful. We trust her completely with our child.”

"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)."
