Hi Parents- My name is Destiny and I am a former garden educator at Emerson Elementary. Currently at Urban Farm Oasis. I’ve been working with kids since I was 14, ranging from infants to teens. I’ve worked with many families in the SF/Bay area for nearly a decade, with children of many ages. I also have experience as a tutor and would love to do educational activities and or help with school work. I have a calm energy, lots of patience, am reliable, love being outdoors, reading and imaginative play! I am CPR certified, certainly pet friendly, and like to crochet, adventure, and cook in my spare time. Looking forward to meeting you!
“Our kids 3 and 6 loved spending the day with Destiny, they explored GGP together”
Hi! I'm Anja (An-ya)! I’m a Bay Area native and a mom! I have a daughter who is 3. I have availability on Thursday with some Fridays. Let me know if you want my daughter to come along! I've been working as a babysitter and nanny since high school, when I regularly babysat for neighborhood families with toddler age children. In college I worked for a service (fittingly) called College Nannies and Tutors, which provided on-call care for a variety of families across the Bay Area. I was booked with families whose daycare providers were on vacation, children who were too sick to go to school, and for kids whose parents worked from home - or who just needed a day to themselves! As you can imagine, I got to know a diverse group of children and parents and was able to work closely with them to meet their own special set of needs. I love fostering children's imagination and independence, and getting to know their unique personalities. Whether it's dinosaurs, dump trucks, Elsa, or Lightning McQueen, if they're interested, I'm interested!
“Anya was great with our 9 month old! Super communicative and attentive. We would hire her again, definitely!”
With five years of dedicated experience in the field of childcare, I provide an unparalleled level of care, safety, and support for families. My extensive background includes working with children from infancy (3 months) to early adolescence (13 years), cultivating a nurturing and engaging environment that prioritizes each child’s development, well-being, and individuality. Certified in CPR, first aid, and EpiPen administration, I am fully prepared to respond to any circumstance, ensuring peace of mind for the families I serve. In my recent role, I have expanded my expertise to encompass comprehensive household management, blending childcare with refined housekeeping services. Over the past year, I have supported homes through meticulous organization, pet care, errands, driving, meal preparation, and more—dedicated to creating a harmonious, seamless environment tailored to each family’s needs. My bilingual proficiency—native Spanish and an upper-intermediate level of English—enhances my ability to connect meaningfully in diverse settings. Continuously improving my English fluency, I am committed to fostering open, effective communication with families from a variety of backgrounds. Above all, I am known for my professionalism, adaptability, and discretion. I bring a thoughtful, refined approach to my work, supporting the unique lifestyle and aspirations of each family I serve.
Hi Folks! My name is Diamond and I am a bay area native. Although I currently work in the legal field, my passion and love for caring for children tend to take over my evenings and weekends. I have over fifteen years of experience with children as I transitioned from a young sitter, to daycare employee, to personal family nanny for multiple families while in college. I am well versed with children ranging from newborn to teenagers. I currently work/serve as a Special Court Advocate (CASA) for abused and neglected foster youths in the San Francisco Bay Area since 2019. Many of the children that I've cared for have become like family, I believe in treating others how I would want to be treated or how I would want my own children to be treated. I take into account and note all guidelines that parents would like followed whether it be electronic use time or food restrictions due to diet or allergies. I pride myself on being an individual that parents can not only trust but want around their children in their absence.
Hello, I look forward to meeting your family and pets. I have experience with giving care for 1-9 year olds. I have personal experience with raising, training, and caring for dogs. I am a masters of nursing student so my time may be limited due to school, but I would love to spend any free time I have babysitting for any family members.
“Tina helped keep an eye on our little one during a family party at the park. It was a unique situation but Tina was game for the challenge. Very communicative, sweet, and flexible!”

"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."
