Olivia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi families, I’m Olivia! Here’s a little about me: • Education: Graduated from the University of Oregon last year with a major in Advertising and a minor in Psychology (Go Ducks!!). •Relocation: I am moving from a small town (Hood River, Oregon) to San Francisco on September 11 and am looking for caregiving work in the Bay Area. • Daycare experience: Worked in a daycare for a couple of years, supporting children of various ages. • Big sister role: Helped raise my younger sister who is 12 years younger than me, from bottles and homework to activities and routines. • Babysitting and dog sitting: Years of experience caring for kids and pets. I also lived with two golden retrievers who taught me patience and responsibility. • Strengths: Reliable, caring, organized, fun-loving, and calm under pressure. • What I love: Creating safe, engaging environments where kids feel happy, supported, and encouraged to be themselves. • New here: This is my first time on UrbanSitter, but I bring a strong background and a genuine passion for caregiving.

Lawson 3 reviews
$28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Brisbane, CA

Hi! My name is Lawson and I am a senior at the Urban School of San Francisco. I am the oldest of three kids, including a brother 10 years younger than me whom I regularly take care of, so I have been around kids my whole life. I have also babysat and worked as a camp counselor plenty of times throughout my life. I am no stranger to driving, entertaining, coaching, and putting kids to bed. I am a very active person and am more than willing to play sports and spend energy with kids. I can also help with homework and tutoring, especially in math and science. I can cook and clean as well as drive to run errands or to take kids to and from their activities. I love cats and dogs and have a cat of my own. I can feed, walk and play with pets, though I am slightly allergic and less comfortable with pets that shed a lot.

“Kind, on time, and easy to communicate with. Our child felt comfortable, and we’d happily book again.”

Jermyiah $20 per hour for 1 child

I have work as an Elementary teachers assistant for the last two years. I’m currently in the process of receiving my para educator certification. I love working with kids I find that I can communicate with them very easily using not only the tools i’ve learned from past jobs but with some of the tools I’ve learned through my younger siblings who have communication disabilities. I can take small pets such as dogs and cats. I also help coach a rugby team so I think i’ve been able to master patience and understanding with anyone honestly.

Ryann $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ryann (they/them) and I recently graduated from SFSU with a Bachelors Degree in Women and Gender Studies with a minor in LGBTQ+ studies. I'm going back to school in the fall to start my Masters Program in Sexuality Studies. I am flexible, social, playful, a strong communicator, and I love working with kids, animals, and elderly folks. Throughout my life, I have babysat for many families with children of various ages, typically multiple children at the same time. My responsibilities included cooking and prepping food, helping with homework, cleaning, arts and crafts, and transportation to and from school. I frequently care for my friends' and neighbors' pets; dog walking, feeding the animals, refilling water bowls, overnight cat sitting, and offering various forms of enrichment. I am passionate about animals and providing the best quality of life for them. I have been volunteering at Openhouse, the LGBTQ+ senior center, since October every week and it has allowed me to expand my knowledge and skills around senior care. I have assisted disabled folks with everyday tasks, ranging from going to the grocery store to the emergency vet. I am patient, able bodied, accommodating, and quick to help out.
