Hi, I'm Sarah! I am offering child care and household services. I have 7 years of experience providing private childcare. I've worked with infants, toddlers, and children up to 11 years old. (One of them told me I get along well with kids because I'm a child at heart, LOL) I have a nursing education background, and currently working at UCSF, Cancer Research Department. I am also more than happy to watch dogs, cats, or any animal you might have. The more the merrier! :)

Sarah was a breath of fresh of fresh air! Sarah came to look after my 3 year old daughter all day when she had an ear infection and was home from school. I could immediately tell she was such a warm person, and she engaged with my daughter right away. She played with her, fed her lunch, put her down for nap and played more. When my daughter was napping, Sarah organized all of the toys in the playroom into drawers, assembled a new easel for my kids, and helped my daughter do a painting project when she woke up. Sarah is such a sweet person, was prompt, communicative, and a joy to have here. We would love to hire her again!

*** I am on a hiatus from Urban Sitter and will update this when I return *** I graduated from Dominican University of California with a Psychology major with a double minor in music and art. Now I have just graduated with a masters and post-masters degree in educational psychology. I have worked in two elementary schools and one high school over the course of my graduate training. I now work in an elementary school full time and love being with the kids! I have a few years of babysitting experience not counting the nannying jobs and occasional babysitting jobs from here, primarily for younger cousins, my niece, and close family friends, and now with multiple families here on Urban Sitter. When I go home to visit my family I helped my aunt teach Sunday School at our church for preschool and kindergarten age children. In high school, I was a TA in a classroom for 4th graders as well as an inclusion specialist for 3rd graders for part of an academic year. I also was paired with a second grader and helped teach her how to read (which was one of the best experiences I’ve had). My favorite part of my job is that I get to work with kids because they have a sense of wonder. They believe in magic and have tons of curiosity in the world, and almost everything is something new which is fascinating. Their imagination is a wonderful thing. All of these characteristics are things that I admire as they keep me on my feet and always ready to explore. I love going on adventures to the park, beach, and anywhere else that could be fun, as well as playing all sorts of games to interact with the children! For older kids, I love to bake with them because it’s fun, teaches them important skills for cooking, and gives them a nice treat at the end!

Hi! My name is Taylor, and I’m a nursing student and collegiate softball player at Dominican University. I’ve been caring for children since I was 13, and I truly love creating a safe, fun, and positive environment for them. Over the years, I’ve helped families with school drop-offs and pick-ups, meal preparation, homework support, playtime, and running errands. I’m also a big animal lover and very comfortable around pets. I believe in being patient, kind, and attentive with children while making sure they feel cared for and have a great time. Babysitting isn’t just a job for me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy.

At our first meeting Taylor confidently jumped in with the boys. They had fun and when i came home they were happy and calm.

Hey everyone! I’m Dominika, a nanny with 7 years of experience caring for children. My experience spans various age groups, including strong experience with infants (including sleep training) as well as children ages 2–13. I’ve completed an Early Childhood Education program to ensure I provide the best care for your kiddos! 😊 If you’re interested, I’d be more than happy to share more details about my past experience through direct messages. I consider myself a proactive, loving, and reliable nanny who truly enjoys spending time with children. I like to keep things fun, engaging, and organized, while also making sure each child feels safe and supported. I really value open communication and am always happy to adjust to each family’s needs and routines. I also have a driver’s license, my own car, and I’m CPR certified. If you’re interested, I’d love to share more about my experience and chat further; feel free to message me anytime!
