Booked by 17 families in South San Francisco, CA

Hi families! I’m Alejandra, a Bay Area native, proud mom, and experienced childcare provider with 8+ years of hands-on experience caring for children from infancy through school age. I’ve worked with families in both babysitting and nanny roles, and I truly love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and supported. My experience includes infant and toddler care, school-age care, diapering, bottle feeding, naps/bedtime routines, school pickups, homework help, meal/snack prep, and keeping kids engaged with fun, age-appropriate activities. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your children, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, have a clean driving record, and I’m happy to help with light housekeeping, errands, and family support as needed. Whether you’re looking for an occasional/date-night sitter or a dependable full-time nanny, I’d love to connect and see if I’d be a good fit for your family!

Booked by 6 families in South San Francisco, CA

Hello- My name is Briana and I’m currently employed as a para educator. I work regular school hours, therefore am seeking babysitting opportunities that are in the afternoons on week days and am flexible with the times on weekends. A bit about me is that I am bilingual (English and Spanish), a big time animal lover, and I love the outdoors. I’ve been employed in the school setting for 3 years now and have gained experienced working with students from diverse backgrounds and with a range of learning necessities. I look forward to connecting with your family!

“Briana was fantastic! She arrived on time, immediately connected with our kids, and made them feel comfortable and happy. She’s warm, attentive, and truly engaged — she played with them, spoke to them in Spanish as we requested, and kept everything running smoothly. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. We’d love to have her back anytime! ”

Booked by 4 families in South San Francisco, CA

My name is Sofia, and I’m a rising junior at UC Santa Barbara, home for the summer. I have been babysitting on and off since 7th grade. I’ve worked primarily for three families. The first two roles involved caring for one child each (ages 4 and 6), while the third involved caring for three siblings (ages 2, 5, and 8), including one child with special needs. Caring for an 8-year-old boy with brain cancer, which affected both his physical and cognitive abilities, taught me patience, adaptability, and how to communicate when verbal communication was limited. I also spent three years working as a math tutor at Mathnasium, where I worked with groups of three to four students at a time, ranging from preschool through high school. Managing multiple children at once strengthened my patience, communication skills, and ability to keep kids engaged while adapting to different ages and learning styles. I'd describe myself as creative, which helps me get along with kids. The majority of my experience has been with no-screen families, so I am very comfortable keeping kids entertained with fun activities, imaginative play, crafts, reading, and spending time outdoors. I enjoy finding activities that match each child's interests and energy level rather than relying on screens. Above all, I want parents to feel confident that their children are safe and well cared for. I enjoy creating a fun, engaging environment while respecting each family's routines and parenting style. Whether we're doing crafts, playing outside, or winding down for bedtime, I strive to be patient, dependable, and someone both parents and kids feel comfortable with. I have reliable transportation and am happy to do pickups or drive to activities. I have had my license for well over 3 years. I’m looking for short-term work while I’m home for the summer before returning to school in September, and I have a very flexible schedule. Please contact me with any questions you may have. I look forward to the opportunity to communicate with you and make new little friends!

Booked by 12 families in South San Francisco, CA

Hi parents! My name is Chelsea (Yulan). I have 3 years of babysitting experience and a clean driving record. I’ve cared for children of all ages, starting from 3 months old, including those who are sick. I’m also happy to help with pets — walking dogs, feeding them, and more. I’m fully vaccinated, in good health, and can wear a mask if preferred. I’m reliable, responsible, and available for school pick-ups and drop-offs. I can also cook and prepare meals for children. Sometimes I help doing kids laundry as well. I also specialize in evening and date-night babysitting — helping parents enjoy their time out while I make sure everything at home stays calm and safe. Parents often tell me they feel completely at ease knowing I’m there. I’d love to help you enjoy your night out worry-free!

“Thank you so much!! She did an amazing job plugging into our family on short notice and our toddler loved playing with her ”

"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."
