Hi! I’m Hannah, a student at Middlebury College. I’m in San Francisco for the summer and love to reconnect with families I’ve previously worked with and meet new ones when I’m home during breaks. I just completed a summer fellowship at SPUR (public policy org) and am looking for babysitting jobs before I go back to Vermont for my last semester! I offer part-time and occasional babysitting as well as pet care. I have 10 years of experience babysitting for families with children ranging from age 1 to 14. My responsibilities have included picking up from school, helping with homework, preparing meals, helping with bath/shower time and doing crafts/playing games. I’ve been described as empathetic, trusting, punctual, hardworking, and joyful by previous families. Besides babysitting, I love sports and have experience working as a junior soccer coach. I also love the outdoors and especially love helping kids engage with curiosity and joy in nature! During the summer of 2020, I also developed curriculum and led a virtual climate camp for 4th to 6th graders. Additionally, I worked as a virtual reading tutor during covid and am happy to provide homework support. At home, I have a cat and golden retriever pup and am a huge animal lover! I offer walking, feeding, and have experience with house visits caring for cats and dogs while their families are on vacation. Please feel free to reach out with any questions, I look forward to connecting!

Hannah was an awesome babysitter!!!

Hi there! I'm a 28-year-old nanny with five years of experience creating safe, nurturing environments for children. Originally from Santa Barbara, I'm passionate about helping kids thrive. I graduated from SFSU and have been babysitting and nannying throughout my school years. I have continued to keep taking care of children since I graduated. I'm skilled in all aspects of infant care, including feeding, naptime routines, and diaper changing. I also have experience volunteering at a kids club, where I assisted with homework, organized after school activities, and ensured the safety and well being of all children. Additionally, I volunteered at children's cheer camp and worked as a nanny for local families. I'm skilled in planning age appropriate activities, preparing healthy meals, and maintaining structured routines. I love engaging with kids and fostering their growth and development through creative play and educational experiences. Families often describe me as energetic, reliable, entertaining, and creative. Your child's safety and well being are my top priorities. I'm committed to providing a fun and secure environment where they can learn and grow. I believe in open communication and honesty, ensuring that parents are always informed and comfortable with the care their children receive. vaccinated + booster

I’m a nanny with 8 years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and young children, and I have full weekday availability throughout May for short-term, backup, and last-minute care. I’m especially confident with infants and early development, and I’m currently continuing my education in doula training, which has strengthened my knowledge of newborn care and postpartum support. My approach is calm, attentive, and engaging—I focus on creating a safe, nurturing environment while supporting routines and keeping children active with age-appropriate play, outdoor time, and simple activities. I’m reliable, flexible, and comfortable stepping into new environments quickly, making me a strong fit for families who need dependable daytime support on short notice.

We were anxious about finding a caretaker, as our son had been home with us since birth. We took a leap of faith by requesting a nanny through UrbanSitter, and we are so thankful Alani responded. From the day we interviewed her, she impressed us with her punctuality, respect, and confidence, which are all qualities that have carried through in her care. Alani is patient, loving, and kind (and hip!). She is always attentive and present with our son, and we quickly came to trust her, even with taking our family car on toddler-friendly outings. Our son adores her and always looks forward to seeing her. We especially appreciate the developmentally-appropriate toys and activities she introduces. His speech and social skills have grown tremendously. She is reliable, a great communicator, flexible when needed, and overall the perfect fit for our sweet boy. We feel so grateful to have her and look forward to continuing to have Alani play such a special role in our son’s life.

Hello wonderful San Francisco Families, With over 20 years of experience working with children ranging in age 0-12, I bring a wealth of knowledge and practical experience in early childhood development. I hold a formal education in teaching, which i have continuously applied throughout my time I support and nurture young learners. My professional journey includes roles as both a former au-pair and a full time nanny, where i developed strong, lasting relationship with families and provided attentive, individualized care for children. Throughout the years, I have been committed to helping families create supportive and enriching environments for their children to thrive. I am cpr/1st aid certified, fully vaccinated (dtab, covid, flu). I received my Masters Degree in HR management, but I have always had passion to coming back and working with little ones again. I hope you will consider my candidacy and let me help you with taking care of your little ones. Best, Mila

Mila is the best and has a way with children where my daughter who truly does not warm up easily ran up to her after first meeting. She is loving and caring and just so grateful we found her!
