Lizbeth Yanela $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Lizbeth. I’m from Bolivia, and I came back to San Francisco to study. In my free time, I would like to work doing something I really enjoy, which is taking care of children. My experience as a babysitter in San Francisco started when I came here as an Au Pair for a nice American family. I took care of two sweet kids. I really like children of all ages and I enjoy spending time with them. I like playing with them, doing sports, going to the park, having playdates, doing crafts, making cookies, and preparing simple meals they like. Before coming to San Francisco, I also worked at a daycare where I took care of children of different ages, from babies to 6-year-old kids. I consider myself a patient, caring, and responsible person. I always try to make children feel safe, happy, and comfortable while they are with me.

Isabella $28 per hour for 1 child

Nurturing & Experienced I have hands on experience caring for children through helping raise my baby brother and cousins, throughout the years of covid when non-family members weren’t recommended to be in the house. This has given me a strong understanding of children’s needs at different developmental stages. It has also taught me how important structure is to children while also not being scared to be spontaneous and keep kids entertained. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time to create a trusting and safe environment for your children. Organized & Safety-Focused As a pre-nursing student, it is extremely important for me to be detail oriented, calm under pressure, and highly aware of safety measures. With this I also prioritized keeping a clean and organized space. This helps parents feel confident their children are in capable hands as well as a clean environment. Educational Support & Homework Help My academic background allows me to assist children with homework, reading, and learning activities. I enjoy explaining new concepts and encourage good study habits, which I implement into my own schooling. Dependable & Adaptable I’m reliable, punctual, and flexible, with the ability to adapt quickly to different family dynamics and daily routines. I communicate clearly with parents and take pride in being someone families can depend on.

Hi there— name is Alisa! I’ve worked in arts education for over 5 years across various nonprofits and museums including de Young, SFMoMA and the Smithsonian. I’ve taught art classes, art after school, summer camp, and led field trip groups at the museums. I now run a gallery program at a mission based non-profit for neurodiverse adults. I love planning projects and helping young people discover their creative voice. In my free time I like to do yoga, rock climb, ride my bike, and explore the local museums!

“Alisa was timely and took great care of my kiddos. We’ve invited her back a few times since and are happy to have her on our repertoire of caregivers.”

Booked by 1 family in San Francisco, CA

Hi! My name is Kate, and I offer childcare, household support, and pet sitting. I am an experienced and reliable babysitter with several years of childcare experience. I have cared for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, including multiple children at once. I assist with school routines, educational support, creative activities, and daily care. In addition to childcare, I am comfortable helping with cooking, cleaning, dog walking, and errands. I take pride in being organized, trustworthy, and attentive to each child’s needs.

“Kate was a terrific sitter for my 3- and 5-year-old boys. When she arrived she immediately engaged them in activities and was so enthusiastic and attentive. She also kept an open line of communication throughout the day, keeping me updated via text- which I really appreciated!”

Maribel $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I moved to San Francisco four years ago from North Carolina and graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science. My career naturally evolved into science education with elementary-aged children, and I now nanny full-time. With six years of childcare experience working with newborns through six-year-olds, I love providing hands-on care and learning opportunities. I follow children’s natural curiosities while staying closely attuned to their cues around feeding, rest, and play, creating a supportive and engaging environment where they can thrive.

"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."
