Hi, my name is Knar. I was born and raised in San Francisco and currently live in Oakland, with no issues commuting into the city. I have over 15 years of childcare experience and am deeply passionate about providing nurturing, dependable care that supports children’s growth, confidence, and development. My background includes three years working in a daycare setting and twelve years as a full-time nanny, giving me hands-on experience with children across a wide range of ages and stages. I value building close, trusting relationships with both children and parents and take pride in being a steady, supportive presence in a family’s life. My childcare philosophy centers on creating a safe, loving environment with clear structure, consistency, and care so children feel secure and encouraged as they grow. I am family-oriented, patient, respectful, and highly communicative, and I believe open and honest communication is the foundation of a strong partnership. In addition to childcare, I am happy to assist with light household tasks such as baby laundry and dishes, introducing solids, supporting developmental milestones, and tailoring care to each child’s unique needs. Availability update: I have a full-time position and am not currently available, but I appreciate you taking the time to view my profile.

Hello! My name is Rebecca, but just Becky's fine :) I earned my Bachelors Degree in Theatre Arts (performance emphasis) from San Francisco State University with honors in 2015 and my master’s degree in clinical psychology from Pepperdine University just this year! I am about to start full time work as an associate marriage and family therapist. I had heard so many great things about Urban Sitter from friends, so I decided to join in on the fun in 2015! I worked for Urban Sitter from 2015 to 2023, everything from occasional to full time. Unfortunately I had to take a medical leave last year—but now I’m healthy, out of school and can’t wait to work with your kids again. It might not be my full time job anymore, but kids are the best reprieve from the stressors of my day job. I have experience with a wide age range, from kids as young as two weeks to as old as eleven years. I've worked with over 100 families by now, so I'm pretty well prepared for what's thrown my way! I'd say the age range I tend to work best with is infant to toddler--but that's not to say I don't enjoy working with kids older. Got a seven year old obsessed with Pokemon? Me too. I'm all for it. Can't wait to meet and hang out with your wonderful kids! Note: Due to ever increasing gas prices and bridge toll, please note that I will usually not travel to SF or across another bridge for a job less than $100 overall. This of course does not include any jobs I may apply to on the job board. There may be outliers to this rule (for example: if I’m already in SF that day), so it never hurts to message me and ask!

Hello — my name is Melissa! I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I am a former elementary school teacher with interests in education/tutoring, reading, and spending time outdoors. My subject matter expertise while teaching was math and science for elementary students, but I have worked with children as young as toddlers up through high school age. I started babysitting and tutoring when I was in middle school and have worked with children throughout college and my career. I am also offering household services such as laundry, house sitting, and pet care.

Hi everyone. I am glad to get to know each family I work for. I speak Portuguese and English. I have experience with ages between 6 months to 15 years old. I have a couple of years of experience with kids back in my home country and here in the USA. Glad to answer any question you have. Thank you

Hello! My name is Amanda, and I’m a former nanny with over 7 years of childcare experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers. I worked as a nanny while attending college in the U.S. Professionally, my background is in marketing and advertising, but caring for children has always been one of my greatest passions in life. Currently, I’m looking for occasional babysitting opportunities to support local families. The majority of my experience has been with newborns and infants, supporting families through the important early stages of development. I have extensive experience establishing feeding routines, supporting healthy sleep habits, engaging in age-appropriate developmental activities, and creating nurturing environments where children feel safe, loved, and secure. Throughout my journey, I have worked with both long-term and short-term families and have experience caring for multiple children at the same time, including siblings with different developmental needs and schedules. I am comfortable balancing feedings, naps, activities, meal preparation, transportation, and daily routines while ensuring each child receives individualized attention. I am CPR and First Aid certified and have experience supporting families with sleep training, Baby-Led Weaning (BLW), potty training, and Montessori-inspired learning. I believe in fostering independence, confidence, and curiosity while maintaining a warm, patient, and loving approach. Outside of childcare, I am an outdoorsy person who loves nature and living an active lifestyle. I currently live on a sailboat in the Bay Area, which has strengthened my appreciation for adventure, exploration, and the natural world. I enjoy incorporating outdoor activities, walks, playground visits, and nature-based learning experiences into children’s daily routines whenever possible. I pride myself on being dependable, patient, communicative, and supportive. My goal is to become a trusted extension of the family while creating a warm environment where children feel safe, loved, and encouraged to thrive. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile! I hope we have the opportunity to meet and work together. I’d be honored to care for your little ones and become someone your family can rely on. I look forward to connecting with you!
