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.”

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.

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 love to connect with you and see how I can be a great fit for your family.

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.

"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)."
