Monica $50 per hour for 1 child

Aloha! I’m a warm, dependable, and family-oriented mom of two, with a 13-year-old son and a 22-year-old daughter who is currently in her second year of college. Being a mom has been one of my greatest joys and has given me years of hands-on experience caring for children through every stage and personality. I come from a huge, close-knit family with kiddos of all ages, so caring for children has always been a natural and meaningful part of my life. I truly enjoy creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves. For the past 8 years, I’ve worked in education, which has given me a strong understanding of children’s individual needs, development, learning styles, and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, responsible, and believe in making kids feel seen, heard, and supported. I’m also deeply rooted in Hawaiʻi, where family, connection, kindness, and community are such an important part of who I am. I bring that same spirit into the care I provide. I’d love the opportunity to become a trusted and caring part of your family’s village! 🌺

Laura $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m laura I’m 25 years old. I was an au pair for one year and a half getting a lot of experience with childcare, after that I kept helping families as a nanny. Being caring, respectful and communication is important for me. when I’m with kids, I love to keep them engaged by doing arts and crafts, going to the playground, library or taking time to play dates I love spending time with children, explore creativity to the fullest all kinds of things that we can enjoy time together, teach them things, see the world as they see it, my favorite hobby is reading. I love to read and I love to teach that to children. When I am with babies I love to see their growth, take care of them, support them in their growth and motor development. I would love to be a support for parents, helping them at all times based on my knowledge of first aid and CPR. Looking forward to meeting you!

Sofia $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Sofia. I am 26 years old and grew up in the Bay Area. As a half-American, half-Argentine, I speak both English and Spanish fluently. I have always loved working with children. From a young age I enjoyed babysitting for local families and playing with my neighbors' children. Later, I began taking full-time nanny jobs wherein I was responsible for meals, baths, pickups, and homework. This opportunity to form relationships with children was so fulfilling that I decided to pursue teaching at a local Steiner-inspired school after graduating college. The curiosity and enthusiasm of the children made teaching an immensely satisfying job, it didn't really feel like a job half of the time! Though I paused teaching in order to pursue other passions, I miss the connection which the job allowed and would love to reconnect to childcare in a some way. In my work I emphasize imaginative and outdoor play, consistent and loving boundaries, and healthy rhythms to ensure a joyful, nutritive, and reliable environment for the children. In particular, I enjoy singing, dancing, storytelling, art making, and exploring with the children I care for. I cook and clean. I have a car, a clean driver license, and significant experience driving children. I also have experience caring for seniors, and have enjoyed this immensely. I am comfortable taking care of pets as well. I am looking forward to meeting your family!

Natalie $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Natalie, I'm 27, and I’m an experienced educator and caregiver who genuinely loves spending time with kids. I recently moved from Colorado to SF. Prior to moving, I worked with children from toddler age through middle school as a preschool teacher, elementary and middle school teacher, literacy interventionist, substitute teacher, and youth sports coach. I would be happy to provide references from any or all of these roles! I’m warm, patient, dependable, and love getting to know each child’s unique personality and interests. I’m always happy to read, do crafts, play games, get outside, help with homework, or just be silly and have fun! I’m also comfortable helping with meals/meal prep, transportation, household tasks, and pets. I strive to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves!

"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)."
