Hi! I'm a DePaul University graduate with 15+ years of experience caring for children from infancy through the teen years as a nanny, babysitter, tutor, and violin teacher. I speak English, Spanish, Farsi, and Arabic, and have been a violinist for over 20 years. I have extensive experience with infants, toddlers, school-age children, and teens, including feeding, naps, developmental play, homework help, transportation, and bedtime routines. I'm also experienced caring for children and adults with special needs, including autism and developmental disabilities, and I strive to provide patient, individualized, and compassionate care. Beyond childcare, I have experience as a household manager and personal assistant, helping with meal prep, laundry, organization, errands, scheduling, light housekeeping, and keeping busy households running smoothly. I'm also comfortable caring for pets and can assist with feeding, walking, medications, and daily care. Families describe me as reliable, warm, organized, and proactive. I have my own reliable car, a clean driving record, am fully vaccinated (including COVID booster), and do not smoke. I'm available for occasional, part-time, short-term, overnight, and last-minute bookings. I'd love the opportunity to support your family and provide dependable, engaging, and attentive care for your children and home. ----- Booking Policies My time and budget is planned around the hours booked, so I ask that you honor payment for the entire booking, regardless if you come home early. I'm also generally flexible if you need me to stay later than scheduled as long as that is communicated to me. Zelle or cash are my preferred payment methods. Thank you and I look forward to meeting your family!
“Nazly was amazing with our 11 month old. Fed her, played with her and easily got her to nap. Will definitely be hiring her again.”
**Not available from Jan 17- Feb 7, 2026** Please make sure to read before booking: Hello, My name is Maria and I'm 70 years old. Yes, I understand than that's older than most nannies on here but I'm still very active and I love kids. I've been babysitting since I was young, being that I'm the oldest of seven siblings. Most of them see me as a mother figure now. I have my own kids, or should I say adults now, who are 34 and 32 years old. So I pretty much know how to raise children. I have nannied for couple families (ages ranging from 4-14), my longest being seven years with the same family. I pretty much became part of their family. I would cook, clean, watch the dog, drive her to activities, drop her off and pick her up from school, etc. I've also nannied triplets, so I'm pretty comfortable with that too. I have a great driving record and a safe, reliable Prius C. * Because I am older now, I prefer jobs that do not include driving children* Although my english isn't that great, please have patience with me, I understand it perfectly. I'm also fluent in Spanish. The past couple years, I've been a caregiver for an older couple but I have decided I want to go back to nanning. I like having an impact on kids when they're young. I'm looking for occasional jobs right now. I look forward to meeting you and your child/children.
I am booking occasional nights and daytime care as my schedule is open. I am seeking a part time or fulltime job in San Francisco, Berkeley, Albany, Oak. I am also open to working evening or daytime occasional care. After finishing a 14 month position a FT job with a 1.5- turning 2.5 child I had a 3 month temp job with a 1.5 year old. I have worked as a full time Nanny and Preschool teacher for 20 years in SF, Berkeley and Oakland. Truly Outdoorsy! I have enthusiastically enjoyed caring for the ages of 2-5 from age 18. Most of the families that I have worked with the past 8 years have left the area but are still fabulous references. I never used an agency. 2.5 Years I worked as nanny in Berkeley to a 1- 4 year old in Berkeley, 4 plus years recently, and numerous families in SF during 2021- 22. I cared for a 2 year old full time and the 5 year old part time. I have over 23 years of nannying experience. I started young! I have a BA in Psychology and took 8 education courses. I studied abroad in India, Nepal and Tibet. In college I worked at a daycare then started a drama club at the same afterschool program for 3 years. I assisted a Waldorf - inspired preschool, taught at a Montessori based English language immersion preschool and kindergarten in Taiwan for 2 years. I worked as a teacher for 3 years with 2-5 year olds at a lovely Reggio play based preschool in Berkeley. I have been known to have a strong constitution, good health and I very much find children funny and wise. I found my calling early on.
Hello! My name is Cassandra and I'm 32 years old. I graduated from San Francisco State University in 2016, with a major in Technical and Professional Writing. I'm originally from LA and I moved back once I graduated. I currently work in Finance as an EA. I've been working with kids since I was 15 years old. I've worked with kids mostly between the ages of 2 and 8. I'm extremely patient with kids and I definitely know how to keep them busy. I have some experience with toddlers but not a ton. I am a fast learner though. : )
“She was super responsive to messages before the job; she was punctual; was friendly and warm. Kids had a great time with her and she was communicative throughout the night in response to my check ins. I would definitely book her again.”
Hey, I’m Teara! I am outgoing and fun. I like to do arts and crafts, story time, creative/messy games outside(depending on their preferences for weather, of course!) and am always open to trying/learning new thing to do with kids! I am a great communicator and willing give updates throughout the day. I’ve always enjoyed being around kids, along with animals. I love to watch them learn, develop new skills, question things or explain in ways we as adults don’t often think of and watching them find new interests. I have worked with kids for almost 10 years ranging from infants(2mo) -to preteens (12-13). I also have experience and am confident in my abilities when working with multiple young children at once. (1:4 ratio from ages 3 months- 2 years old) I started out with home babysitting for my family then eventually turned into family nannying for other families near me. I have continued to nanny part time for a few families over the last 10 years. Eventually, I found a daycare part time while in HS. & Also worked at a Child Development Center as the Wobbler Assistant & Lead Toddler Teacher for over six years. I have two kiddos of my own- 5 and 3! I’ve recently taken a step back from working in a childcare setting (I definitely still try to stay updated and informed on trainings and child developmental info being learned/taught to teachers and caregivers) and just been taking on part time, last minute, date night gigs! However, I am open to something consistent if it seems like a great fit for everyone. My love and passion for kids has always been there. I continue to do trainings, learn about development and stay up to date on all the child info :) I am also COVID cautious; fully vaccinated, willing to wear a mask, and limiting my exposures. •Meal prep •Homework help •School drop off/pick up •Background check completed •TB test cleared •CPR first aid, blood borne pathogens, & HIV/AIDS certified •Food handlers card •Recognizing/reporting abuse/neglect •Clean driving record, Safe car •Health & Safety •RIE •PBIS I am looking forward to meeting new families through this site & helping out as much as possible.
“Teara is amazing. Kind, reliable, and my kiddo loves spending time with her. She is the best”
Hi there! 👋🏼 I’m Mar. I’ve spent over a decade working with children in many different roles, including nannying, tutoring, sports coaching, and behavioral therapy. Over the years, I’ve been lucky to build long-term relationships with families through UrbanSitter, Care.com, referrals, and word of mouth. I have a degree in Psychology and previously worked as a Behavioral Interventionist, supporting children through floor play and ABA-based care. I’ve also worked with children with different developmental and behavioral needs, both here in the U.S. and while volunteering in El Salvador. I’m currently making a career transition and have returned to nannying, something I’ve always genuinely enjoyed. I love working with kids of all ages, and I try to bring more to the role than simply supervising. I enjoy getting to know each child’s personality, interests, and needs and creating an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, understood, and free to be themselves. I’m naturally very hands-on and enjoy everything from homework help and outdoor activities to creative projects, outings, and simply spending quality time together. I value trust, communication, consistency, and building a genuine connection with both children and their families. Feel free to reach out with any questions! My rates vary depending on your child’s needs, number of children, responsibilities, and schedule. I’d love to hear more about your family and what you’re looking for. 😊
“Mar was great! She was on time and both my kids liked her! She asked great questions, and did a great job taking care of both my girls. We would hire her again for another day. ”

“Anna has been an incredible caregiver for our family and I recommend her highly. She cares for our two boys, ages 9 and 10, and is warm, dependable, responsible, and genuinely invested in them. I trust her completely driving them to school, sports, activities, and appointments in her own car, and she is excellent at keeping track of busy schedules and making sure everyone gets where they need to be. What I especially appreciate about Anna is that she takes initiative. She helps with meals and snacks, keeps things organized, and notices what needs to be done without needing constant direction. She is also patient and caring with the boys while still being able to manage the energy and independence of school-age kids. Anna has made our family’s day-to-day life significantly easier, and my boys have developed a wonderful relationship with her.
