Giacomo $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Giacomo, and I have over 4 years of experience working with children of different ages, from 1 year old through school age. I’m responsible, patient, caring, reliable, and energetic. I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and fun environment where children can feel comfortable and have a great time. I also have international childcare experience, including working as an au pair in Australia. I offer babysitting and nanny services focused on providing attentive and personalized care based on each child’s age, personality, and needs. I enjoy spending quality time with children through play, creative activities, reading, outdoor activities, games, and other age-appropriate experiences. I’m also comfortable helping with meals, daily routines, homework, and keeping children engaged and entertained. Over the past 4 years, I’ve developed strong skills in communication, patience, responsibility, and adapting to different family routines. I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust and feel comfortable leaving their children with. I speak English and Italian, and I’m happy to communicate openly with parents and follow their preferences and routines. My goal is to provide reliable, caring, and enjoyable childcare while making sure every child feels safe, supported, and comfortable.

Booked by 1 family in San Francisco, CA

I’m a former K-8 special education teacher with four years of experience working with students with mild to moderate disabilities. I’ve also been babysitting and coaching youth soccer for over 10 years. I love hanging out with kids, helping them learn new things, and making sure they have a fun, positive experience. I’m available for tutoring, babysitting, pet sitting, and house sitting, and I’m happy to help out however I can. A Little More About Me I love being outdoors -- hiking, biking, playing sports, and swimming are some of my favorite ways to spend my free time. Excited to meet you and your family!

“Couldn’t have been happier with her communication, responsiveness, and attentiveness. Last minute scheduling, booking, and lots of info from me in a brief period of time - and I felt such a good vibe and feeling of trust the entire time. She was great with my 18m old, who is a very busy boy (and our dog!). Would love to have Kay back at ours in the future! ”

Mika 1 review
$48 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in San Francisco, CA

Hi all! I’m Mika, a 28-year-old SF native with over 10 years of professional childcare experience. What started as regular babysitting in my teens evolved into a well-rounded career in childcare - including teaching swim, working at preschools, managing summer camps with 25+ kids, and full-time nannying. I have experience with every stage from newborn to preteen, as well as neurodivergent and physically disabled children - i’m prepared and excited for any situation! I'm truly passionate about fostering healthy development in a fun, loving environment. I view my role as working with families to create a cohesive team, for the best possible care. I’m flexible, punctual, a clear communicator, creative (I attended arts school for 9 years!), and worldly (dual US/Swedish citizen). Most importantly, I bring a warm, caring energy to everything I do and would love the chance to meet you and your little one(s)!

“We hit the jackpot with Mika. Our first interaction was a last minute babysitting gig that turned into over two years of working together. Us moving and no longer being able to work with Mika will greatly impact our family. Communication is incredibly important to any parent who doesn’t get to see what is going on throughout the day. In my case, I was this parent while my husband worked from home. Although my husband was in the next room, both of us were continually looped into the day with updates, photos and shared location which were all her idea. Mika’s energy & ability to stay engaged seems boundless. Whether it’s the various activities she dreams up, facilitating socialization with other children, learning new words, or working with puzzles, she has her entire focus and attention on the moment. Her being a native to San Francisco has helped with exploring spaces that we had never thought to visit. It would be easy to tailor a child’s day to just neighborhood playground visits but our sons day is filled with so much more. Any family would be incredibly lucky to work with Mika.”

"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."
