Nagihan 1 review
$35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in South San Francisco, CA

Hello Families, I have over 7 years of experience caring for children from 6 months to 9 years old. I love creating fun, safe, and engaging days for children through reading books, arts and crafts, acrylic painting, music time, baking simple recipes together, outdoor play, and visits to parks, playgrounds, libraries, and museums. I also enjoy supporting early learning by helping children develop language, social, and problem solving skills through play and daily activities. I am patient, caring, reliable, and organized, and I truly enjoy building warm and loving relationships with the children and families I work with. My goal is always to create a positive environment where children feel safe, happy, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. Best, Nagihan

Nagihan was amazing! She was so attentive and helpful. Our kids were happy and clean (and so was our house!) when we got home. it’s nice to find good ppl like this on the app. My daughter wants Nagihan to braid her hair again. (She never lets me, her mom, do it.) Thanks Nagihan!

Lani $26 per hour for 1 child

I graduated from the University of Utah with my bachelor’s degree in psychology and returned home to San Francisco to work as a gymnastics coach! I currently work with children as young as 11 months up to age 17. During my time in university, I worked at my school’s childcare centre with children aged six weeks to five years. I am patient and bubbly, and enjoy helping children stay active and engaged! I studied abroad in Japan in high school, did two years of my undergraduate program in South Korea, and recently returned from a language program in Taiwan, so I have experience interacting with individuals from many different cultures and backgrounds! Additionally, I have some proficiency in Korean and Mandarin (though my Japanese is a bit iffy now). I grew up with dogs in the house and currently raise a husky, so I am very experienced with dog care and needs!

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

Hi! I’m 28, work in the medical field, and have 13 years of babysitting experience. I’ve grown close with the families I’ve worked with and always aim to make kids feel safe, supported, and heard. I’m used to school pickups, driving to activities, helping with homework, and keeping routines on track. I’d be happy to chat and see if I’m the right fit for what your family needs. CPR certified

Victoria was amazing with my 3 year old. They played, went for a walk and Victoria had her bathed and in her PJs by the time I got home. Victoria is on it and has great engagement with children.

"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)."
