My name is Michael! I am currently an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who spends a lot of time working with kids, loves animals, and lives in the Outer Sunset! As a therapist, I work with kids of all ages and backgrounds. I have experience working with Autism and ADHD. I am currently looking to make some extra money while I pursue licensure as a therapist and would love to support my community by helping them care for the kids and pets they love! In my free time, I love to read, go on runs, play video games, and spend time with my girlfriend and our dog, Betty. I like to have fun and keep things light. I would be happy to help you with babysitting, pet-sitting, dog-walking, house-cleaning, whatever!
Hi! My name is Pamela, I’m from Brazil and currently living in the U.S. I’ve been working with children since I was 14, taking care of kids of different ages. I usually do activities like arts and crafts, outdoor play, reading time, and helping with homework. I’m CPR certified, responsible, caring, and always make sure children feel safe, loved, and happy.
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.”
Hi I’m Sarah. 📌I just downloaded this app, so apparently I don’t have any reviews on here. But I do have reviews from care.com and references if you would like to see. I've been a nanny and teacher for about 7 years collectively. I've worked with children ranging from 2 months old to even teenagers! I can help with meal prepping, kids laundry and helping out with light housework. I like doing crafts with kids, healthy meals and snack with the kids and I could also help with homework. Some of my strengths are patience, creativity, and good organization skills. I am also fluent in both English and Thai. I am looking for a part time position, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays. Please reach out if you have any questions. So excited to work with your family!
My name is Nadia! I’m a babysitter with experience caring for children ages 2-12. I believe in the importance of listening and talking to children, without talking “down” to them. My warm and communicative approach creates positive experiences for the kids and cooperative care-taking relationships. That’s why when I worked at a summer day-camp for 4-11yo children learning English in my hometown, there was popular demand from children and their parents for me to be on-site every day. I helped ease children’s separation anxiety and made them feel comfortable and confident in an unfamiliar environment. Originally scheduled to work just 4 days over the summer, I ended up as a full-time aide. Some of my favorite activities to do with kids are baking and reading stories. I also have a good track record of getting children involved in simple, age-appropriate chores (e.g., making the bed) in a way that feels fun. I can provide references, including from parents who can attest to my ability to care for multiple kids at once. I also have extensive teaching and tutoring experience, and would be happy to provide homework help: - I have experience tutoring pre-k, elementary school, and high school students in reading, math, and test prep. - I have two years of experience as an instructor at UC Berkeley, and another three years of experience mentoring college students. - I speak English, French, Arabic, and a bit of Spanish. I love to encourage children’s multilingualism and can help with foreign language homework. I’m confident with preparing meals and snacks. I previously was a head chef at a student co-op, where my dinners got rave reviews. I still get recipe requests from former co-opers (especially my hummus recipe!). I’m happy to bring these skills to your children’s snack time. I try to incorporate learning experiences into my caregiving, and I especially enjoy working with families who value curiosity and learning. I was a National Merit Scholar in undergrad, and I recently graduated with my PhD in a social science discipline from UC Berkeley. I have a full time job scheduled to start in 2027. Until then, you can hire a (non-medical) doctor for a discount.

"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."
