Been babysitting since I was 12! I also have worked at a Beach Camp in SoCal for 5 years and worked with kids aged 2-13. I love everything from sports to crafts. I have my own car and am a very safe driver. I am looking for babysitting jobs and nannying.

“Maddy has watched my two boys many times over the years, and they are always completely THRILLED when they know she is coming to babysit. She is kind, fun, loving, energetic and excellent at keeping kids of any age entertained. She has taught them all kinds of fun games from her days as a camp counselor and always comes ready to play! In addition to babysitting for date nights, Maddy has watched our boys for extended periods (for example a quick wine tasting afternoon), extended overnights when we are traveling, and also is super helpful as an afterschool pick-up/shuttle between sports and activities. In fact, many parents who meet her at my boys' events inquire about her availability. She is a gem!”

Hi parents, I have 15 years experience look after infants and toddlers. I worked as a nurse assistant for nine years. I took care of patients ranging from newborn babies to 15 years old. In addition, I was an au pair and lived with a family in the Bay Area for two years. I took care of their boy since he was eight months of age. After that, I have been working as a full time nanny in San Francisco with several families for about four years. Most of the time I take care of babies ranging from three months to toddlers. I am delighted to contribute to their development and I have thoroughly enjoyed working with previous families. Also, I have excellent references.

“She was absolutely wonderful. I was nervous because I only went off of the on review I had seen (which was totally positive) and she surpassed expectations. She was constantly talking to and engaging my 10 month old baby. Not only was she was skilled at caregiving but without asking her to do it my kitchen, living room, play room etc was the cleanest I had seen it. Highly recommend”

Hi! I’m Maria I’m 24, bilingual in Spanish and English, and I’ve been babysitting and nannying since I was 14. I’ve cared for children of all ages, from newborns to school-aged kids, and I truly enjoy being someone families can rely on. Growing up in a big family, I’m comfortable in busy households and know how to keep kids engaged while making sure their routines stay on track. I love doing crafts, playing games, going on walks or outings, helping with homework, preparing meals, and simply making everyday moments fun and positive. I’m also happy to help with meal prep, children’s laundry, light housekeeping, organizing, errands, and pet care when needed. I’d describe myself as reliable, patient, caring, responsible, and easy to communicate with. I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident in the person caring for their children, and I always do my best to create a safe, positive, and welcoming environment. I’m happy to provide references and would love to connect and see if I’d be a good fit for your family!

“She was very communicative prior to our first meet. Our daughter enjoyed her time with Maria. Grateful for help with a dependable care taker ”

Hi families! My name is Catherine, and I’m currently a student at City College of San Francisco (CCSF), where I’m studying Community Healthcare. I have extensive experience working with children, both in Brazil and here in the U.S. I previously worked as an Au Pair for two wonderful families. With one family, I cared for two little ones under the age of 2, and with another, I cared for three boys school aged. Currently, I work part-time as a nanny for a 2 yo toddler, and one of my favorite parts of the job is spending our afternoons exploring San Francisco together! We love going to parks, libraries, playgrounds, and finding new activities around the city. These experiences helped me become very comfortable caring for children of different ages, managing daily routines, and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment.

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"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."
