Claudia $28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in South San Francisco, CA

Hello families and all! My name is Claudia, I am 24 years old and looking for my next family/families to support. I am a lover of all kinds; art, music, books, yoga, outdoor activities, and more. My friends describe me as outgoing, friendly, and a true “big sister” archetype. Throughout my life I have been a full time nanny for a range of ages, not only that but I have worked in preschools as well as before and afterschool program directing. Since moving to San Francisco, I established myself through working service jobs and getting to know the community more. And now I feel ready to establish myself within the nannying community as I don’t feel too new to the area anymore! With me as your nanny, caretaker, and familial support, I will not only nurture your child’s growth but I enjoy providing enrichment with art projects, music, and encouraging creativity in the mundane everyday. I am organized and great at keeping a schedule, and can help support you and your child’s schedules (ie: sleep, eating, sports or extra circulars, and more.) Not only that, but if comfortable with the family I am also willing to do fun field trips to the parks, beach, exploratorium or things of that nature! Contact me with more information of you and your child’s needs, and let’s see if we can become mutually beneficial supports to one another!

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!

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.”

Yevheniia $30 per hour for 1 child

I am a physician with a background in pediatrics, psychiatry, and psychotherapy. I completed my medical education in Ukraine and have extensive professional experience working with children, adults, and families. My medical background helps me stay calm, attentive, and responsible, especially when it comes to a child’s safety, health, emotional needs, and development. I understand children’s behavior and developmental needs and know how important it is to create an environment where a child feels safe, respected, and comfortable. I am warm, patient, energetic, and genuinely enjoy spending time with children. I’m happy to play, read, go for walks, organize age-appropriate activities, prepare simple meals, help with routines, and provide attentive care while following the parents’ preferences and household rules. I am also comfortable with pets and have experience caring for animals. I am reliable, organized, have a valid driver’s license and my own car, and am comfortable driving when needed. I speak English, Ukrainian, and Russian. I am currently based in San Francisco and am looking for nanny, babysitting, family assistant, and pet-care opportunities.

"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)."
