Chaima 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m Chaima, a creative, responsible, and energetic professional based right here in San Francisco. I love bringing positive energy and a sense of fun to the families I work with! With a background in running my own small online business and I am a student at CCSF, I am highly organized, punctual, and know exactly how to multitask with a smile. But what I enjoy the most is keeping kids actively engaged! I’m very passionate about photography and art, so I always prefer hands-on creative activities, crafts, or outdoor adventures over just screen time. I’m also multilingual! I’d love to share a fun, multicultural vibe with your little ones. Whether it's a date night or daytime help, I'm here to make sure your kids are safe, happy, and entertained. I can’t wait to meet your wonderful family!

Chaima is an amazing worker and an amazing person. I worked with Chaima as a barista at a cafe - she brought so much positive energy to our team and our customers. She was like working with a rainbow, so thoughtful, kind, and full of sunshine, lifting up everyone around her. As a worker, she anticipated all of our needs without ever being asked to do anything. She’s one of those people who just magically knows how to be helpful. Tasks you thought you had to complete are done before you know it because Chaima surprised you by completing them.

Booked by 3 families in South San Francisco, CA

My name is Arrie and I just moved to the city to work for GAP, Inc! I have always loved working with kids of all ages, and I am looking to continue this work through my full time position. I don’t start until November, so I have lots of flexibility! I started working with kids as a gymnastic coach for ages 3-13. Additionally, I worked as a full time nanny for kids ages 3, 6, and 8. I am super active and excited to get to know you and your families!

Can someone say BABY WHISPERER?!?! Our toddler (she's around the one year old mark) is spirited and spunky and all kinds of sweet rolled into one and Arrie is able to swoop on in and connect wholeheartedly. She takes her for walks, notices things that our toddler gravitates towards, has helped with meal times and bath time and is INCREDIBLE at story-time and play-time. She's also the only person (not even mum and dad) to have ever got our toddler to sleep downstairs in her play area - and we're still trying to figure out her top secret formula! We're going to miss her when she starts her new full-time role soon but hope she'll pop in for date-night or weekend care in future because she's a whole vibe and our toddler thinks so, too :)

$28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in South San Francisco, CA

My name is Helen, and I am interested in the part time nanny or babysitter position with your family. I am Chinese and have been living in San Francisco for 24 years. I speak four languages: English, Cantonese, Mandarin, and Toishanese. Currently, I work as a preschool teacher and have over 18 years of experience working with young children, including infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. My own child is now grown up, but I still love spending time with children. I would like to use my free time to help families who need childcare. Working with children makes me feel happy and valued. Here are some things about me that I think you might find helpful: 1. Experience with Children: As a preschool teacher in San Francisco, I excel at following children’s interests, creating art projects, connecting them to nature, and developing loose part activities. 2. Safety First: I always make sure children are safe and well-cared for. I am fully vaccinated, recently had a great annual physical exam, and hold a CPR certificate. 3. Fun Activities: I enjoy doing crafts, reading stories, and playing games with children to keep them engaged and happy. 4. Reliable and Trustworthy: You can count on me to be on time and dependable. I am excited about the chance to support your family and help your child. I am happy to discuss your needs and how I can help. I look forward to meeting you and your family.

Helen was a big part of the success of our daughter's wedding. She staffed the child care room so parents could bring their children when they or the children needed a break. Multiple parents told me they would have left much earlier if Helen had not been there. That would have been unfortunate as the kids ruled the dance floor. If we had other child care needs in San Francisco Helen would be our first choice.

Hello Its Ayse, I’m 29 years old a caring, responsible, and positive person who truly enjoys spending time with children, discovering their world, and supporting their growth. I have previous experience in childcare and providing family support in home settings. I believe it’s important to meet not only children’s physical needs but also to nurture their emotional and mental well-being. I love organizing daily activities like games, creative projects, reading time, and outdoor play. At the same time, I always prioritize respecting each family’s values, home environment, and expectations. For me, being a reliable, kind, and understanding person for families is very important. I would be happy to be a big sister, a companion, and a safe support figure for your children. Feel free to message me anytime. I would love to connect with you and see how I can be a great fit for your family.

Ayse helped my mom take care of our 15 month old. My mom was extremely happy to get Ayse's help, repeating how attentive and positive she was. Or baby sounded very happy we well 😊 We recommend Ayse without any reservations.

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 5 families in South San Francisco, CA

Hi there! My name is Ash, and I offer child care, pet care, and household support services. I’ve been babysitting for over 10 years and have experience with children of all ages from newborns and infants to toddlers (including twins!) and older kids. During college, I provided consistent and reliable care for two wonderful families, one for over 3.5 years and another for 2.5 years. My responsibilities included school and activity drop-offs, meal prep, laundry, reading, bathing, arts and crafts, and creating fun daily routines. I also have experience providing extended overnight care for 24-72 hours while parents were away for work or travel. In addition to child care, I have worked as a household assistant, helping with meal preparation, grocery shopping, errands, and household organization. I take pride in being dependable, kind, reliable and attentive. I love creating a safe and positive environment where kids can have fun, learn, and feel cared for. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

Ash is the best!

"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)."
