Hi! I have always loved working and engaging with children of all ages. I've been babysitting on and off for kids age 6mo - 12 y/o over the years, including my nephew and friends' children when they need extra backup or simply because I love the 1:1 time with them. I've done sleepover sitting and bedtime routines, school drop off/pick ups, homework help, lots of fun field trip adventures with older kids, creative projects or games at home, etc. I'm comfortable and confident with any aged child. In 2021 I took a professional sabbatical during which time I worked as a substitute teacher with Mission Montessori (for the pure enjoyment of it), working with children 6 months - 3 years old. I have also volunteered as a reading and homework tutor of elementary school-aged children in the past. I'm very good with kids - patient, child-centered and love to make them feel seen and supported emotionally while encouraging their creativity and learning. If you have pets: I’m very comfortable and happy with pets in the home and pet care on a sitting job. Im currently an SPCA dog volunteer so get especially excited about dogs :).
Josselyn “Jossy” Childcare Professional | Psychology Graduate | Trusted Family Support Hello! My name is Josselyn, but most people know me as Jossy. I have over 12 years of experience working with children of all ages, including experience supporting teenagers as a school psychologist. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and have dedicated my career to creating safe, caring, and positive environments for children and families. I currently work full-time with a wonderful family in Noe Valley SF from Monday through Thursday, 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM. I am available on Fridays, weekends, and also for evening date nights from 6:00 PM to 2:00 AM. I am responsible, patient, trustworthy, and passionate about helping children learn, grow, and feel supported. Whether you need occasional babysitting, weekend help, or a reliable caregiver for a special evening, I would love to help your family! I’m a simple person who enjoys every second of life as if it were my last day. I’m the mom of two beautiful girls, Zurich and Greece, who brought out the best version of me. I love hiking, eating healthy, and every day I strive to become a better person. I enjoy caring for children because I believe they are the purest and most innocent part of life, and what we do for them can truly shape the direction of their future. I love talking with them, being their friend, and sharing real moments together — not just playing or reading, but also showing them how beautiful life can be and teaching them to enjoy every stage of it, because we will never be children again. I truly enjoy sharing my life with children, helping them feel loved, understood, and safe. To me, children are the best reflection of who we are, and being part of their growth is something very special and meaningful.
Hi! My name is Makayla, I was born and raised in San Francisco. I’m 25 years old and started watching my cousins, from infants to teenagers, when I was around 12 years old. I started sitting at 16 and throughout the years I’ve cared for children ranging from 4 months through 11+ years old. Playing with and watching children has always come naturally to me. I enjoy doing activities that they are interested in and always make sure they're enjoying our time together :) In addition, I have experience with children with special needs and have had training with ABA on working with children with moderate autism. References outside of urban sitter are available that you are more than welcome to speak with. I am a public health educator and doula. I played sports all my life and love to interact with kids through physical activities. I also enjoy arts and crafts and fun science experiments! As for pets, I’ve had family dogs all my life and taken care of dogs and cats. Two pets is the most I’ve sitted at one time.
“Makayla was great! Communicative, prompt, easily started playing with our 11-month-old, kept us posted with appropriate updates, and made us feel very comfortable knowing our daughter was in good hands. We're very grateful for her help.”
Hello Families! My name is Natalie and I just graduated from nursing school. I’ve worked at preschools and summer camps every summer since I started high school, so I have lots of experience with younger and school-aged children. I am CPR/BLS, ACLS, PALS, and First Aid Certified and up to date with all my vaccines, including COVID. I am also bilingual in English and Chinese. If desired, I would be glad to offer tutoring, dog sitting, and household services as well.
“Natalie was fabulous!! She jumped right in with my 17 month old and he seemed to really like her right off the bat. She was very calm and made me feel immediately comfortable. She completely reorganized his toys once he went down which we did not ask her to do but it was such a treat to come home to. We would love to have her back!! ”
Hello everyone! My name is Itzel, but you’re welcome to call me Luna as well. A bit about me — During my free time I enjoy reading, writing , and finding beautiful and appetizing spots around the Bay Area as well as continuing my current education as a undergrad psychology student seeking a a career opportunity in this field. As the oldest sister of my family, I’ve been babysitting for family members and siblings for the past four years. Over that time, I have learned how to connect with children while growing personally and professionally, being able to babysit allowed me to understood better the responsibilities of providing a safe and fun environment to children as well as being able to truly make connection with family members and my own siblings as well! I have as well over 4 years of experience as a after-school teacher at an elementary school, working with ages 2yo-9yo supporting children’s academic and personal development by engaging in daily fun activities while following program curriculum involving arts&crafts, science, and celebrating cultural events. During this time, I enjoyed engaging with children to help them develop their cognitive, social, and emotional skills in a fun and supportive environment. I am also currently enrolled in college, studying psychology, which further enhances my understanding of child development and the ways I can positively influence children’s growth and well-being. I truly enjoy being a working with families as it allows me to connect with children, understand their unique perspectives, and contribute to their daily lives in meaningful ways. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my experience, patience, and passion for child development to your family. Please feel free to reach out as well for any additional question, looking forward to hearing from you! Experience: - AA in Psychology. - +6 credits Child Development/Behavior. - Para Educator Certification.
