Hi! My name is Olivia and I am 20 years old. I have lived in San Francisco my entire life and I attended Convent Elementary school and St. Ignatius High School. I currently attend the University of Texas where I study Finance and am on the division 1 rowing team. I am home for the summer and I am looking for some families to help out! During Covid 19, I took on a large mothers helper role for 4 girls (aged 1,3,5,7) and absolutely loved it. I love kids and am a fun, energetic, warm, and very type A/responsible person. Also, I have played almost ever sport, so I love throwing the baseball or kicking the soccer ball with young kids. I had a small baking business when I was in middle school so I still love to bake and cook if that is helpful in anyway. I have been babysitting all ages of kids on and off ever since I was 13 years old and have built many strong and trustworthy relationships with families that I have helped. I have had Golden Retrievers my whole life, so I am also great with dogs. I also have had my drivers license for 4 years and have taken a CPR certification course. Overall, I always have a great time when I babysit, and I would love the opportunity to babysit more families!
Hello! My name is Aniyah. Here is a little bit about myself, I currently attend San Francisco State University Studying Child & Adolescent Development with a concentration in Early Care & Education. I have 7 years experience working with children and 4 years in the school setting from levels infant-kindergarten. I am seeking to find a family that will benefit from my expertise in the field of early childcare. I am familiar with diapering, napping, and feeding schedules. I encourage creativity and learning. I also am open to make activities and encourage more comprehension skills. I enjoy outdoor adventures, whether thats a trip to the pool, park & rec classes, the park, the zoo, Academy of Science, Botanical Garden, Conservatory of Flowers and much more. I love working with the young child as this is their most developmental period! I am passionate about early childhood, building our future leaders and encouraging this developmental period. I aspire to be inspiring! I am a full-time student, my current schedule is flexible and I will keep open communication with any updates that come up. Best Wishes, Aniyah

"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."
