Hi there! I'm Charlotte. I have a degree in Sociology from the USF, and I have been caring for children for 12 years as a babysitter/nanny. I am currently a full time nanny for a one year old in Bernal Heights for 3 weeks of the month, every 4th week the baby is cared for by her grandmother, and I am looking to pick up some short term/date-night gigs during that week, or evening gigs during the other weeks. I have a lot of experience working with infants and toddlers, as well as caring for multi-child homes with 4+ children. I truly love working with kids, I am a certified yoga instructor and have worked at a kids summer theater camp. I can provide multiple references upon request.
“Charlotte has been watching our child since she was 7 months old as her full time nanny, essentially raising our kid with us. Her attention to detail, collaborative nature, and overwhelming kindness make her the perfect person to watch your kids in any capacity. ”
Hello! I’m currently living and working at a Buddhist monastery in San Francisco, where I meditate daily and study Buddhist psychology. I’m preparing to begin graduate school this fall to become a therapist, and I bring a calm, attentive, and compassionate presence to my work with children. I’ve spent many years caring for kids in a variety of settings. I grew up babysitting and recently returned from Asia, where I worked as a camp counselor in Japan leading groups of children and supporting ADHD, autism, and mental health needs. I’ve also taught English to children in Vietnam and worked as a tutor in the U.S. for two years. I love to dance, play, and do crafts, and I enjoy creating a fun, supportive, and safe environment.
Hi I’m Meagan, I am a person who is passionate about caring for and teaching young children from infants through age 5. I have 23 years of child care experience. I am CPR and first aid certified, I am a creative and active person who enjoys helping children explore the world through art, music, outdoor activities, and sensory play. I have 72 units of early childhood education including infant and toddler development courses. I’m fluent in English. I also speak Spanish, some Portuguese and a little bit of French. I enjoy watching children explore the world around them and conquer the challenges life puts on their paths. My care taking style is play based because I believe children experience the world best when they are actively engaged in playing, exploring and using their imaginations to create new experiences for themselves. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask me. I look forward to speaking with you soon! Respectfully, Meagan
“I wholeheartedly recommend Meagan! She worked with our son before he recently transitioned to preschool. We loved Megan for so many reasons. Below are a few of many: -Very reliable -Over 20 years of experience -Extremely passionate and knowledgeable about early childhood development -CPR and first aid certified -Drives and has all the gear needed to take your kiddo on fun adventures! -Planned fun activities with our little guy. Brought over art projects, took him to ride bart (his fav) to various library story times, playgrounds, fairyland etc. -Extremely calm, warm, friendly and our kiddo loves her very much. -A wealth of knowledge regarding kids developmental stages! Played a large role in our kids growth, enrichment and emotional development. Cant recommend Megan enough. Her passion is working with kids and a new family would be very luck to have her!”
Hi, Im Isabella a Sophomore at UCSB studying Environmental Studies. I’m offering child care and if needed light household care with it. I just started with UrbanSitter! I have worked with kids for around 3 years now. I’ve worked at the boys and girls club, science nights for elementary schools, teaching elementary students with Sprout Up, and have done babysitting before I would be a great tutor for pre-k to 3rd grade if wanted mostly in reading. I can do errands around the house as well depending on the task. I also have worked at an animal shelter only for a little bit have been dog sitting dogs since elementary school for family and friends!

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
