Sasha $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sasha, and I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable college student with years of childcare experience. I currently work at a development center where I care for children ages 6 months to 1 year old in my classroom, helping create a safe and engaging environment for infants during such an important stage of development. I have been babysitting since middle school and have experience caring for children of almost all ages. Growing up with a younger brother who I helped care for also gave me hands-on experience from an early age and strengthened my love for working with kids. From helping with homework and keeping children entertained to preparing simple meals and bottles, bedtime routines, I understand how important it is for families to have someone dependable and trustworthy. I also volunteered at my preschool growing up, which helped me build patience and a strong connection to childcare early on. I’m patient, energetic, and naturally great with kids, and I enjoy creating a safe and environment. In addition to childcare, I’m comfortable helping with pets and light household tasks like tidying up, dishes, laundry, and keeping spaces organized. I value kindness, communication, and reliability, and my goal is to be someone your family can truly depend on!

Emma $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Emma, and I am currently looking for part time nanny positions. I absolutely love kids and have been caring for them since I was 12 years old. I have experience with children of all ages, from newborns through young teens. My nanny journey began at the YMCA, where I completed a babysitting course covering CPR, child development fundamentals, and safety. From there, I nannied consistently for over 10 years. I truly love working with children and once considered pursuing child development as a career. I took multiple child development courses in college, and after graduating from the University of California, Santa Barbara in June 2020, I worked as a "pod" teacher for a group of four children during COVID. I guided them academically and socially during a challenging time and facilitated daily enrichment activities including art projects, local field trips, outdoor learning, and movement based play to balance long hours on Zoom. While I ultimately chose to pursue a career in interior design, my love for kids has never changed, and I look forward to having my own someday! I am looking for occasional or part time consistent positions in San Francisco or the surrounding areas. I have no allergies. I would love to chat and learn more about your family!

Lauren $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am looking to do full time summer nannying for a family once the school year ends. I am currently full time employed at a tech company but want to pivot. I love kids and as the oldest daughter I have babysat my entire life both for my own siblings as well as neighbors and other families. In college I consistently watched for a family full time over the summer each year. Most children I’ve watched have been in elementary or pre school but I am happy to watch all ages. I am also great with house work, cooking, and help with taking kids to activities. If you are looking for a summer sitter (or more ad-hoc/weekends/after school), please reach out!

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
