Makena $40 per hour for 1 child

Hi , my names Makena and I am student who graduated from SFSU in December 2024. I am looking for a family whose availability and values match mine who I can work with during the summer! I'm reliable, fun, and great with kids. For many years now I have worked with and around kids of all ages (infant-12). Some useful things to know about me: I have previously taught pre-k for two years , I have about 9 years experience and have provided childcare for five families through care. com (I have worked with most of them for a year+), I am up to date on immunizations, CPR trained/ first aid (i am willing to recertify my certificates as they have expired recently) , have a bachelors degree in early childhood education, along side my child development certificate. My passion for nannying stems from the great relationships I have built with past families and from my love of teaching. This role to me is more than just child care and I am confident in the high quality care I can provide! I do offer weekend care if informed 2 weeks in advance :) You can also check out a review on care.com should you feel inclined!

Stephany $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Stephany and i'm currently majoring in psychology at CCSF! I'm offering childcare services for any ages. I love kids and have experience working with a big group of kids. I've worked at the boys and girls club of america for a couple of years. I've had to lead lessons of art, tech, and sports to a group of 30, 5-15 year olds. I've also grown up taking care of kids within my own family. I'm also capable of helping with homework and any responsibilities around the house such as cleaning, aiding in chores, cooking, and running errands. I'm also a huge animal lover and extremely comfortable with pets. I also have experience taking care of animals. I have my own at home, but have done some pet sitting for neighbors, friends, etc. I have no issue with big pets or the smallest of pets. I would be able to feed them, walk them, play. As well, I do have experience in getting rid of lice if that's ever an issue lol, I've worked at a lice clinic and was trained to remove lice efficiently and effectively

Hannah $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! 😊 My name is Hannah and I am looking for some babysitting jobs! I’m 21 and have experience caring for children aged 6 months to 14 years, including my young nephews and family friends’ children. I love integrating art into daily routines, whether through painting, drawing, or simple craft projects, and I’m eager to introduce kids to creative outlets. I also believe in the importance of physical activity and often engage children in fun outdoor activities like sports or nature walks. I enjoy cooking and am happy to prepare meals or snacks, including learning any family recipes to make mealtime enjoyable. 🌸 In addition to my practical experience, I’ve taken two early childhood education classes focused on child development. This coursework has given me valuable insights into age-appropriate activities and strategies to support each child’s growth and learning. While I am not currently CPR certified, I am very open to obtaining certification to ensure the highest level of safety and confidence for families I work with. I pride myself on being reliable, patient, and attentive to the needs of both children and pets. I am also committed to ongoing learning and improvement, and I’m always eager to bring a positive and engaging attitude to every caregiving opportunity. 🧘🏼‍♀️ If you or someone you know needs any help (even just for a night out or errands), feel free to message me! I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available to help throughout the week and on weekends. 💬👶💕 Thanks for sharing! 🙌🏼

Chloe $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Chloe, I’m a 20-year-old Filipina with a big heart for kids and a passion for spending time with them. Growing up with two younger sisters, I naturally stepped into the role of a caretaker, making sure they were happy, safe, and engaged. I also babysat my nephew when he was little, and I’ve looked after my younger cousin who has special needs—experiences that taught me patience, responsibility, and how every child is unique. I genuinely love playing, laughing, and learning alongside children. Whether it’s helping with homework, inventing fun games, or just being someone they can feel comfortable with, I enjoy creating a positive and caring environment. I’d love the opportunity to bring that same energy and warmth to your family!

"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)."
