I am a creative, caring, VERY energetic, physically fit, patient mom of 3 grown-up boys and “Super-Mima” to MANY Urban Sitter children 🎉🎊🎈I major in ACTIVE PLAY with children, engaging them in fun games and educational activities appropriate to their ages.... babies and toddlers too with whom I have extensive experience. I am also an art instructor for the developmentally disabled at Cedars of Marin and have a lifetime of familiarity with special needs children. Art projects, creating block or Magna-Tile castles, and building forts are all-time favorites with me and the kids! Puppets and “stuffy birthday parties” are big hits with 2-5 year olds🥳. 6-8 year olds excel in riddles & jokes and balloon battling.🎈9-12 year olds love tricky brain teasers, 20 Questions, and art projects. I was born in San Francisco & grew up in San Rafael. I went to UCLA with Art & History majors. Besides three sons, I have one fabulous grand-daughter, Zoe age 11 that I cared for extensively as a “high-needs” infant, and a 18 month old grandson 💝. I drive a 2017 Toyota Corolla and have a flexible schedule and am available for "date nights". I am willing to stay out late or overnight if needed. Please read my outstanding reviews. Children especially like me because I play WITH them. I bring an assortment of great books because just about ALL children love being read stories. Please note I have a background in senior companionship care with excellent local references + a CA Dept of Social Services Care Provider Bureau background check with CLEARANCE besides my Urban Sitters background check. I am also CPR / First Aid Certified updated every 2 years

Anne was fantastic! My skeptical 2-year-old immediately warmed up to her and there were no tears when we left. They played with chalk outside, smelled flowers, bounced a balloon around (that Anne brought)...and more! We'll definitely hire Anne again and recommend her to friends.

Hi! My name is Alex. I grew up in the East Bay and have been living in San Francisco for over 10 years. I’m currently teaching 5th grade at a SFUSD public school. In the past, I have tutored for after school programs for elementary students, fostering great relationships with children and enjoying watching them grow and learn. I frequently babysit for children ages 2-10 years old but have experience with all age groups. I served in the Peace Corps (2[removed]) where I taught Literacy and English Langauge Arts in West Africa (Liberia & Sierra Leone). I also worked as a Special Education Paraeducator at a high school in the SFUSD before transitioning to my current position as a general education/multiple subject elementary teacher. I am currently available for as an occasional date night sitter that can use my experience to create a fun and caring environment for any child or children. I am open to babysitting weekends, weekdays, and special occasions. Thanks for looking at my profile.

Reliable and communicative. Will book again

Hello there! I majored in Child development in college and since graduating 11 years ago have had kids in my daily life ever since. I’ve loved teaching in toddler, two’s and many preschool classes over the years, I believe I learn as much from each age group as they learn from me. My true passion is discovering the interests of individual kids which is what I love about babysitting. I have nieces and enjoy taking to them to the playground and parks to ride bikes and scooters. We also enjoy exploring new eateries together. I’m a native San Franciscan so I love exploring the city with kids when possible. I also enjoy singing, doing indoor games and activities, art projects, etc whatever the child feels like that day!
