ā˜€ļøšŸŒ‰ā˜€ļøšŸŒ‰ā˜€ļøšŸŒ‰ā˜€ļøšŸŒ‰ā˜€ļøšŸŒ‰ā˜€ļø Hello, I live in San Francisco and am familiar with almost all SF playgrounds and neighborhoods, as well as Marin and the Peninsula. I have been working as a Full Time professional nanny in the Bay Area for over 18 years, working with children starting at 1 month old -- to preschool -- to older children. Caring for multiple children is my specialty and I have a lot of newborn experience, families tell me I am great with infants/babies/toddlers and have a lot of patience and energy for these age groups as well as all the others. I absolutely love my job! šŸ’› Note: if I apply for your babysitting job, I accept the hourly rate that you set. I am currently working as a part time freelance nanny/babysitter for a couple families during the school year but my schedule is constantly evolving and I prefer to accept short-term or one time assignments -- I am always up for a new nanny assignment! Working with children keeps me young at heart and I have so much fun doing it. I am a confident person, very organized and love structure but also very relaxed/flexible and people say I have a very calming presence. Basically I will go with whatever flow you have going on in your home and follow your lead and preferences. I have always gravitated towards caring for children. After college (UC Santa Cruz, BA Psychology) I worked as a Literacy Tutor for first graders in East Oakland, and even after some time working in office jobs life lead me back to children. I started working for a Family Day Care center and there I learned valuable knowledge about caring for multiple infants and toddlers at a time. Up to 10-12 kids! It was a natural progression towards nanny work. I love to read to children, play games, creative play, running outside, playing sports, being silly/laughing, etc. My mom was an elementary school teacher and people tell me I am like a teacher. I must take after her :) I am great with infants and toddlers, I recognize non-verbal cues very clearly and think ahead. I take instruction well and I also can do well without any instruction because I have so many years experience and I am a no-nonsense type of personality. I have a genuine interest in every child's well being. Your children will be well taken care of, safe and happy in my care. ā¤ļø I am CPR/First Aid certified. I can travel throughout the Bay Area, I have a very reliable car, a 2016 VW Tiguan.

ā€œCatherine was great with our three kids. She showed up on time and immediately connected with all of them. She sent regular updates throughout the night and we came home to all three kids in bed. I’d definitely recommend her and look forward to booking her again!ā€

I have 9 siblings, and a total of 28 niece's and nephews all of which I have cared for. I am fully covid vaccinated, including boostered. I am happy to provide proof at your request. Being that I am a full time Mom and also full time employed, I'm currently only looking for occasional jobs ( such as but not limited to: date nights, errand runs, meetings, work events, last minute sitter, weekends, after school care etc). I enjoy meeting new families and absolutely love children. I have over 30 yrs of child care experience! I'm a PTA Mom and I volunteer at my children's school whenever possible. I am comfortable with children of all ages including newborns and Preteens. I will always respect your wishes and will do my best to follow your routine. I enjoy outdoor activities, board games, building blocks/legos/puzzles, play dough, movies and arts & crafts. I consider myself a "go getter". I am very passionate about the time I spend caring for the children I babysit. Hotel Stays, Airbnb's, No problem! I will make the best out of every situation.. (I am also able provide services for group events where multiple sitters are requested as I have several sitter friends if multiple sitters needed). ** I am willing to travel up to 45 miles for an additional fee. ** I am punctual, reliable, easy going, patient, openminded and friendly. -Athena

ā€œAthena was a delight to work with! We were in town for a wedding and needed help watching our kids at our hotel. I was a little nervous about it since it was a small hotel room but Athena was a pro! She quickly connected with my kids and put them at ease. She brought some fun toys and games that engaged the kids and they had a blast. Highly recommend!ā€

Booked by 50 families in Campbell, CA

Hi! My name is Sarah and I am 28 years old. I am originally from the Bay Area and currently work as a Registered Nurse. I have a Bachelors of Science in Nursing from University of San Francisco and have 5 years of bedside nursing experience. I have worked trauma, cardiac, neuro, ortho and in post-operative care nursing. I currently work in a Vascular Surgery Clinic. While my most recent work experience is with adults, my passion is working with kids. I began babysitting when I was 13 and have experience with newborns to teenagers. In addition to working for UrbanSitter, I also previously worked for Trusted, a Bay Area-based babysitting service that was acquired by Care.com. I have also worked as a part-time nanny. If needed, I more than happy to provide multiple references! Working as a babysitter affords me the opportunity to take a step away from the stress of nursing as well as be a resource for families. As a child care provider, I love providing activities to kids as well as being outdoors. I’m happy to take your kids to the zoo, the park or just out in the backyard. I also love doing art projects and making things from scratch (like ice cream in a bag for the older kids). Thank you for your consideration! I hope to meet you and your family soon!

Hi there! I'm a 26-year-old who genuinely loves working with children and creating a safe, positive, and fun environment for them to grow in. I'm reliable, friendly, and patient, and I truly enjoy helping kids learn, play, and feel supported. I'm CPR certified and have over 6 years of caregiving experience, giving me strong skills in responsibility, communication, and attentive care. I also have excellent references available upon request. I'd love the opportunity to bring my energy and experience to your family! I also have a profile on care.com

ā€œAbigail was amazing ! It was my first time getting a sitter but she was right on time, confident, and calm. She messaged me throught the day to keep me up to date on what fun activities they were doing which really put me at ease. I returned back to a tidy home and my little girl sound asleep.ā€
