Sharon $30 per hour for 1 child

I've been working with kids for about five years, from infants to school-age, and I adjust naturally depending on their stage and personality. I'm very hands-on and I like having a clear flow to the day so things feel calm and predictable, but still fun. Most days include getting outside (park time whenever possible), making friends along the way, cooking together (and being okay with the super mess), or fully getting into whatever game or story they're excited about. I've worked through everything from diapers and first words to homework and after-school projects, so I know how to shift my approach based on what each child actually needs. One thing I really focus on is making life easier for parents. That means staying on top of routines, communicating clearly, and creating a space where things feel organized, smooth, and reliable, so they can feel confident that everything is taken care of. I'm adaptable, patient, and my goal is for kids to feel comfortable and excited in their day. And learning!

Izabel $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! 😊 My name is Bella, and I recently graduated from the University of San Francisco with a degree in Business Administration. As I navigate my next career steps, I’m looking for a part-time opportunity to support families who need a responsible and caring babysitter. I come from a very tight-knit family, so I’ve been around children all my life! Growing up, I was always the one helping out with younger cousins, and that experience has made me naturally patient, kind, and nurturing. I also have experience babysitting for families in Hawaii during my breaks back home, caring for kids of various ages and ensuring they feel safe, engaged, and well cared for. I genuinely love spending time with kids, whether it’s engaging in creative activities, helping with homework, or simply making them laugh. My goal is always to create a safe, fun, and positive environment where kids feel happy and comfortable. Outside of babysitting, I love staying active by going to the gym, grocery shopping (yes, it’s one of my favorite things to do!), and making the most of my days by being productive. Whether it’s organizing, setting goals, or working on creative projects, I thrive on structure and positivity, something I also bring into my caregiving approach. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and be a trusted sitter for your little ones. Feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to chat and see if I’d be a great fit for your family! 😊✨

"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."
