Hi there! I’m Soha :) Unfortunately, my original profile was deactivated (along with my 5 star rating and 30+ families) but I have over a decade of experience providing regular childcare to families of infants, toddlers (my fave age group), and even teenagers! Happy to provide reviews and references from several former and current parents I babysit for :) I absolutely love babysitting and in the past several years, I have made it my goal to ensure every family I’ve ever had a gig or regular babysitting job for (about several dozen.. and counting!) receives the best childcare! I am available to babysit for date-nights, events, or any occasion that requires a night out! I don’t mind last minute requests so if you have an emergency or cancellation, I am happy to help and often consider myself an “on demand babysitter” for a lot of families that need a same-day, or even same-hour babysitter! Aside from being a babysitter, I have worked in the legal field for several years. Prior to being a litigation paralegal, I worked in corporate law and legal operations. I also volunteer as a crisis counselor for CrisisTextLine and as a Coach for SoccerShots. Most of my jobs required a lot of emotional energy and empathy, but were extremely gratifying and gave me valuable experience, training to tackle any type of emergency, and a very basic, but universal, understanding of humans. I’ve loved babysitting since I first started using UrbanSitter back in college - it really helped me connect with families, and that connection and confidence as a babysitter is really important and gratifying!

“Soha worked with our family for quite a while and she was honestly great with the kids and they were always happy to be around her and she was very patient and caring and she was always on time very responsible and I never had to worry when the kids were with her and she kept them busy with fun activities and made sure they were safe and comfortable I would happily recommend her to any family looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely good with children”

Hello! I’m Paula, a psychology student with 10+ years of professional childcare experience, including babysitting, nannying, and two years in special education in middle and elementary school working closely with children who have autism, ADHD and other neurodivergent and sensory needs. My infant and toddler experience includes milestone development, such as supporting tummy time, motor skills, early communication, sensory activities, sleep training, introduction to solids, diapering, potty training, and establishing consistent routines. I have cared for infants from just a few months old and provided nurturing, developmentally appropriate care throughout each stage. With school-aged children, I help with meal prep, homework, reading, creative projects, school pick-ups and drop-offs, and indoor/outdoor play, always ensuring a safe, fun, and structured environment. My special education background has given me strong skills in positive behavioral reinforcement, social-emotional development, individualized routines, visual schedules, and neurodivergent-affirming care. I’m experienced supporting children with autism, ADHD, and sensory needs in both home and school environments. Families and colleagues know me as reliable, warm, organized, attentive, and developmentally knowledgeable. I’m passionate about helping children feel safe, confident, and supported as they grow. If you’d like to learn more about my experience, I’d love to connect!

“Paula was great and comfortable with my two young children. We would gladly invite her back!”

Hi, my name is Allie and I just rejoined UrbanSitter after some time away. I work full time at a fertility clinic in SF, but have extra free time in the mornings, evenings and weekends. I have always loved working with children and have over 10 years of experience babysitting kids of all ages (newborns to teenagers) and am confident caring for multiple children at a time. I’m totally comfortable changing diapers, giving baths, cooking basic meals, cleaning up around the house, folding laundry, helping with homework, etc. I also have my own car that I am happy to use for pick ups/drop offs. I am currently only available to babysit on an occasional basis, whether you need a sitter for date night, to run errands or to fill in for a primary nanny. Please let me know if you have any questions or want to chat on the phone!

“Super sweet, reliable, sharp and the girls took to her right away. Bed, bath, dinner were flawless. Would 100% use again! ”

"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."
