Meet college nannies and sitters from University of San Francisco

Hi! I’m originally from Japan and grew up in Hawaii. I’m a Christian, 4th year medical student. My hobbies include baking, cooking, and hiking. Currently looking for a part time job in the evenings :)

I have worked in child care for 8 years in a variety of places. Most recently I was the assistant director at a YMCA camp and before that I was an after school tutor. Additionally I just graduated from the University of San Francisco. I have had a cat and a dog for most of my life, so your children and animals are safe with me! I believe in safety first and fun is number two. I strive for helping kids learn to be responsible and learning from their environment, but also to make sure that the kids are enjoying their time!

My name is Isabella. I’m currently a student at USF and an au pair. I’m actively looking for a part time or occasional position. I have 2+ years of experience with kids. I have a permanent part time position babysitting two kids. I’ve worked with kids at a summer camp, leading some of the activities. I’m CPR certified. 🚘 Strong driver ☺️ Spanish and English 💉 Fully vaccinated 🏊‍♀️ Strong swimmer Experience with children of all ages I’m responsible, patient, affectionate, flexible, organized. I love doing different activities with the kids depending on their age. For example, taking them to the zoo, going to playgrounds, playing board games, reading books, going to the beach on a nice day. I also have experience taking care of dogs and cats.

I enjoy interacting and nurturing children’s growth and development because they are filled with curiosity, joy, wonder, love, and appreciation for learning from their trusted caregivers about the world. I am filled with gratitude for the 60+ children I built relationships with at Ellis Early Learning and I learned that I do love caring for children and supporting their growth. I am amazed at children’s brilliance and how I can support their physical and emotional development with each day. When caring for and teaching children, I am reminded of these powerful quotes on education and teaching that I carried with me in my interactions with the children: (1) Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world - Nelson Mandela. (2) The teacher is of course an artist, but being an artist does not mean that he or she can make the profile, can shape the students. What the educator does in teaching is to make it possible for the students to become themselves. - Paulo Freire On a formal note, I most recently received my teacher certification from the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care for preschool and infants/toddlers along with other certifications: First Aid/CPR, Trauma and Resilience for Early Childhood Educators, and Early Childhood and Care Essentials. I worked in an Early Childhood Education apprenticeship in Boston, where I was placed at Ellis Early Learning for 8 months and I aced Child Growth and Development at Urban College of Boston. Overall, I am excited to meet with you and learn how I can support the needs of your growing family in a babysitting capacity.

Hi! I’m Olivia. I am a recent law school graduate looking for a wonderful family to nanny for full time while I study for the bar exam. I have had years of experience in childcare between nannying, babysitting and working at a private San Francisco day school. I love kids and am open to all children regardless of age, race, gender, religious background, disability, etc… I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Hi! I’m Sasha — a friendly, responsible, and reliable sitter based in Miami. I have several years of babysitting experience dating back to college and have always loved working with kids and being someone families can feel completely comfortable trusting. Professionally, I work in social media and creative marketing, so I’m naturally organized, proactive, and great at juggling multiple things at once. I’m also very creative and love coming up with fun, age-appropriate activities, whether that’s arts and crafts, playing outside, baking, movie nights, or keeping little ones entertained without relying on screens. I’m comfortable caring for children of different ages and am happy to help with things like meals, bedtime routines, homework, school pick-ups/drop-offs, and keeping play areas and kids’ spaces tidy. I’m also happy to provide occasional date-night, weekend, or event babysitting. I understand how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your children, and I always aim to make parents feel comfortable and confident while they’re away. I’m communicative, dependable, and happy to follow each family’s routines and preferences. I’d love to meet your family and see if we’re a good fit! 🤍

Hi, there! My name is Alyssa, and I am native to the Bay Area, having moved to LA in 2024. I love to read, learn about different cultures, cook, and spend time outdoors, usually by taking long walks around the neighborhood with my dog or just sitting outside and soaking in the sun. Having grown up in a big family I’ve always been surrounded by kids and loved it. Their happy-go-lucky nature and inquisitive spirit make it a joy for me! In terms of childcare experience: I've spent three summers working as a camp counselor for Steve and Kate's Camp in San Francisco. The attendance of campers varied on a daily basis but the Sunset location's average was around 130 kids. The ages ranged from 5 to 13. Every day was busy, and I never knew what to expect, but it was always a lot of fun. For three separate summers, I worked as a teaching assistant at my old high school, St. Ignatius College Prep, mainly working with middle school-aged kids. I’ve been using the app Urbansitters since about 2018 and I’ve gotten to know many lovely families as a result. I love getting to know all sorts of different kids. Even though they may be young, they all have their own unique personalities, which makes my job of hanging out with them all the more fun. If you have any questions please contact me. Hope to hear from you! :)

Hi, my name is Lauren. Im a local caregiver in Dallas, TX. I have a love for all the little ones and beyond. I also enjoy staying organized and I'm able to work around you and your schedule. I hope to meet you soon!

Aloha! My name is Keanna and I’m from Hawai’i but now living in the San Francisco Bay Area. For over 10 years, I have been working with children and families in varying capacities. I recently graduated from the University of San Francisco with a BA in Sociology and a concentration in Child & Youth Studies. While in college, I was a babysitter/nanny for multiple families caring for 1-4 children at a time. Some of my responsibilities included school pick-up/drop off, bedtime routines, planning fun and engaging activities in and out if the house, preparing meals and light household chores. I am the older sister of two younger brothers (age 8 and 10) and have much experience caring for kids in a household setting as well. It is my personal philosophy to play a positive and supportive role in a child's life in efforts to help nurture them into the person they would like to be!

I have a elementary teaching credential, Master's in Teaching, and graduated with honors from UC Santa Cruz. I also hold a certificate in Trauma Prevention and Recovery from CCSF. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
