Booked by 1 family in South San Francisco, CA

Hi! I’m Ally, a California-credentialed teacher currently teaching third grade in San Francisco, with over 12 years of experience working with children of all ages and a Master’s degree in Education. I am currently on summer break, making me available for occasional babysitting, nannying, and tutoring opportunities. My passion for working with children began in my teens at my mom’s Reggio Emilia–inspired preschool, where I first developed a love for education. I later had the opportunity to observe schools in Reggio Emilia, Italy, which further shaped my child-centered approach to teaching. I strive to create a warm, engaging, and safe environment where children feel supported, confident, and excited to learn. I enjoy building meaningful connections with children and helping them grow through play, creativity, exploration, and positive relationships. Whether I’m helping with homework, planning fun activities, or simply providing dependable care, I bring patience, enthusiasm, and professionalism to every family I work with.

Jany $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Jany, a caring, dependable, and energetic caregiver with 10 years of childcare experience and 7 years of experience as a Registered Nurse. I recently graduated from CRNA school and am BLS and PALS certified. Safety, communication, and staying calm under pressure come naturally to me. I was born and raised in San Jose. I currently live in Outer Sunset, San Francisco with my husband. I’ve cared for children from 4 months old through the teenage years. I love keeping kids engaged through outdoor adventures, walks, games, creative activities, and age-appropriate play. I’m patient, attentive, emotionally aware, and believe every child deserves to feel safe, heard, and cared for. I’m also comfortable caring for seniors and pets, helping with household routines, transportation, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and following detailed care instructions at an additional rate. As a healthcare professional, I’m especially attentive to changes in behavior, safety concerns, and individual needs. I was an RN at a cardiovascular ICU in UC San Diego before going back to anesthesia school for my Doctorate in Nurse Anesthesia Practice degree. I am taking some time to study for my board exams and love taking care of little ones! I speak English, Mandarin, Shanghainese, and some conversational Spanish. Most importantly, I treat every child, pet, senior, and home with the same kindness, respect, and responsibility I would want for my own family.

Samara 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

About Me I’m 33 years old and originally from Brazil. I have a psychology degree in my country and I have several years of childcare experience in both the United States and Brazil. I began caring for children at a young age within my own family. I was 12 years old when my younger sister was born, and I actively helped my family with her care through all stages of her development. I also had experience with children of different ages during my psychology internship in college until I moved to the US at the age of 26 after my graduation to participate in an exchange program, where I worked as an au pair. Experience 6+ years of experience with children of different ages. After completing the program, I continued working as a nanny for other families. My Responsibilities & Skills My responsibilities have included school drop-offs and pick-ups, children’s laundry, meal preparation (I truly enjoy cooking), and planning engaging activities. Arts and crafts are my favorites! I am loving, patient, responsible, flexible, and a confident driver. I am also a strong swimmer. I am currently looking for a part-time or full-time position. I am also available for babysitting and date nights. I would be happy to do a trial day to see if there is a good fit. I would love the opportunity to support your family and care for your children.

“Samara is the best with little ones! With three kids under 5, she’s amazing at handling the chaos and the kids absolutely love her. We call her whenever we’re in a bind, school is out, or we need a date night. She’s reliable, flexible, and I always feel completely comfortable leaving the kids with her. Highly recommend!”

"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)."
