Abigail $24 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I’m a 22 year old college student at CCSF. I LOVE animals, kids, cooking and have a very enthusiastic work ethic. I have experience with infants, twins, autism, potty training, sleep training. I have been working with kids for 5 years. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with friends, cleaning, reading, video games, visiting the ocean, painting, sewing, or spending time with pets. My first job working with kids was at a tutoring service in my hometown where I worked with kids 5y- 14y (mostly kindergartners) in all academic subjects. My first family was a weekend job with a 3y old boy. We went on adventures to the creek and park and here I assisted with potty training. My next family was a seasonal job with a (too smart) 2y old and her (very agile) 1y old brother in Oakland. Here is where I got my experience working with multiple kids and taking them on public transit. After this I got a more permanent job with a Nannying firm in SF. I worked with them for over a year as a backup care nanny. Moving with family to family as needed. Some families only needed me for a day. Many families requested me back. Among my regulars were lots of toddlers and babies as young as 3 months. Here I gained experience with 1y old twins. Children with autism. I gained more experience with potty training and sleep training. I am confident taking kids out to public attractions like parks, zoos museums, even the beach. (above is my current charge and I iceskating). I have one more available reference. I worked for a company that teaches chess to students at an elementary level. I have my food handlers training, along with CPR/first aid for babies as well as adults. I plan to take at least one class a semester while I work. I am almost done with my AA. Thank you for reading until here. Please reach out if you’d like to get access to my references.

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! 🙌🏼

Katia $33 per hour for 1 child

Hello My name is Katia, and I would love the opportunity to support you and your children. I have experience teaching Spanish and math, as well as caring for children from 6-month-old babies to school-age kids. I genuinely enjoy creating a warm, fun, and structured environment where children feel safe, engaged, and encouraged to grow. My current position is ending in mid June, so I’m looking for a new full-time role. I am also a student and attend classes in the evenings, which allows me to be fully available during the day. I’m responsible, patient, and dependable, and I would be happy to share references from the families I’ve worked with. If you feel I might be a good fit for your family, I’d love to talk more about your needs and schedule. Please feel free to reach out anytime.

Yoselin $35 per hour for 1 child

I had the pleasure of working with a family for over seven years, caring for their children throughout many important stages of their lives. When I first began, I cared for their 3-year-old, their 9-year-old, and later helped care for their newborn. During my time with the family, I provided dependable and compassionate care, including overnight and live-in support whenever needed while the parents traveled out of town for work meetings in Sacramento. I always treated the children with patience, love, and responsibility, and I became someone the family could truly rely on. Although it was difficult to leave, I relocated and I am very grateful for the support and encouragement the family gave me throughout that decision. This is the reason behind my ongoing journey with being a nanny. Warm, dependable, and attentive nanny with hands-on experience caring for children of various ages. Known for creating a safe, structured, and loving environment where children feel comfortable and supported.

"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)."
