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 there! I'm Brittany- a third generation San Francisco native and USF graduate with a degree in Sociology. Growing up in a big family, I know firsthand how busy life can get, and am always happy to jump in and lend a helping hand wherever I can :) I’ve been working with children for over a decade through childcare, tutoring, and volunteer work. I’m experienced with all ages (infants to preteens), and love engaging with kids through arts & crafts, music, outdoor play, and creative activities. In recent years, I stepped away from UrbanSitter to care for an aging relative, but am excited to connect with more wonderful families. My schedule is fairly flexible, so feel free to reach out- I’d love to hear from you!

Hi, I’m Natalia! I’ve been living in San Francisco for the past eleven years, though I’m originally from Sacramento. I went to USF and graduated in 2018, and I currently work as a Marketing Director in the interior design industry. Childcare has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. As the oldest sibling, I started babysitting my younger brothers and sisters when I was 11, and I also spent 8 years helping out in my mom’s in-home daycare. Since then, I’ve cared for children of all ages—from infants to teenagers—for over 15 years. I also have experience with kids with special needs, along with volunteer work in tutoring and mentoring. When I babysit, I love keeping kids engaged, whether that’s playing games, heading outside for fresh air, reading together, or helping with homework. I’m also happy to cook simple meals and help keep the house tidy. Families say I’m energetic, caring, and attentive, and I truly enjoy spending time with kids and being part of their day.

Hi, I'm Dreycel! I a Behavior Therapist who works with kids every single day. Besides being an older sister, I also used to work at Child and Youth Services overseeing afterschool activities and homework help. More recently, I was a summer program aide at Katherine Michiels School here in San Francisco where I spent most of my time with children transitioning from kindergarten to first grade. Together, we did outdoor activities, arts and crafts, as well as story time. I have enjoyed my time working with children because of their curiosity and their never ending capacity to learn.

⸻ Hello! I’m Annette — a retired biomedical executive, proud mom of two grown sons, and an active, hands-on grandmother who loves staying busy and helping others. I’m energetic, dependable, and looking for some part-time work to supplement my fixed income while doing something meaningful and enjoyable. My daugther-in-law is a trained daycare giver and gives me great tips when I’m watching my grandsons for extended days. I just completed the AHA First Aid & CPR AED training for adults and pediatrics. My professional background is in marketing communications and branding, and I hold a master’s degree in business. Throughout my career, I’ve had the pleasure of mentoring young professionals and leading teams. I also have experience in medical device sales and have owned my own businesses in public relations as well as clothing thrift and consignment. I adore children and dogs and enjoy helping with the daily routines that keep a household running smoothly — from organizing and scheduling to homework, art projects, music, sports, cooking, and light cleaning. I live locally, have a flexible schedule, and would love the opportunity to lend a hand wherever I’m needed. Warm regards, Annette

From my experience working for SFUSD and an after-school program, it has equipped me with the necessary skills to transition to being a caregiver. I have worked with a range of 1-12 kids at a time in both a formal classroom and casual after-school programming. This diversity of environments has allowed me to adapt especially well to fast-paced environments where problems regularly arise, requiring quick thinking and problem-solving skills. A critical part of this is paying attention to the child and predicting what they need, whether it may be a new activity to do or socioemotional regulation. Working with kids in the classroom has also taught me about what it means to engage and develop working relationships with the kids you help. Engaging with a child about their interests and feelings allows them to feel heard, deepening the bond between you and that child; making even the most disagreeable kids more flexible in their thinking and more honest about how they are truly feeling. In doing so, we are modeling positive behaviors, teaching them how to treat and socialize with others as well as regulate their own emotions. Such lessons are vital as they mature and go out into the world.

Hi I’m Layci and I have been an educator for over 10 years and working as an elementary school teacher for the past 8 years teaching 1st-6th grades. I have been a nanny and babysitter for families all around the Bay Area for over 14 years. I have experience with newborns, infants, toddlers and children with special needs. I have helped families as a night nanny and with various medical needs as well. I love animals and have grown up around cats, dogs, geckos, hamsters and bunnies. I also have my own urban outdoor garden and love indoor plants as well. I am reliable, confident, and fun. I am firm but warm and while I set boundaries, I also adhere and defer to family expectations and dynamics. I love working with kids and enjoy being able to create engaging and fun activities. I will engage in imaginative play, arts and crafts, and science experiments. I can cook and help with light clean up. I have references upon request, and happy to provide a cell number if you are interested in talking more. I can’t wait to get to know your family!
