Alexandria $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Alex. I grew up in San Francisco and as a teenager would frequently babysit for younger children (6-8 years old) down the street or in the neighborhood. I enjoyed playing with younger kids (ages 1-4) of family friends at gatherings. I currently work at an after school program at an elementary school. I interact mostly with parents but enjoy listening to the students when time allows. I am calm, friendly, and crafty. I enjoy reading, knitting (currently working on a sweater!), and learning new things. I enjoy a lot of activities, such as board games on a rainy day, or going to the park so kids can get out that endless amount of energy.

Cat $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Cat! I work in after-school child care and I am highly energetic and passionate about working with kids. When working with children, I am great at having a balance between discipline and being gentle and kind. I lead with empathy and strive to understand what your child is feeling instead of reacting. I believe that everyone deserves to express their feelings even though they may not know how to express them. I love playing games, planning activities, and keeping kids engaged and off their screens! I am also a great cook and love to make healthy snacks or meals that children will enjoy. Having my own younger siblings makes me a great candidate to take care of others because I always think about how I would want my own family to be treated. I will always treat others with care and respect.

Maria $40 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Maria,and I’m excited to be a new member of UrbanSitter! I work at an orthodontic office during the week, where I have the joy of connecting with children of all ages and helping them feel comfortable and cared for. As a mom to my wonderful six-year-old daughter, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your child. I bring that same level of care, patience, and attentiveness to every family I work with. We also have a sweet Norwich Terrier named Giuseppe, so I’m very comfortable around pets too! I look forward to getting to know your family!

Grace $35 per hour for 1 child

I have over 15 years of experience in education and currently work as a Middle School Learning Specialist at a private school on the Peninsula. For the past 5 years, I’ve supported students with homework, executive functioning, and academic skills—so I’m just as comfortable helping with tutoring and organization as I am with everyday caregiving. I’ve also been a devoted dog owner and caregiver for more than 20 years. Pets have always been part of my life, and I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, and keeping them loved and cared for. Families describe me as reliable, warm, and organized. I bring patience, structure, and genuine care to everything I do—whether that’s homework help, keeping kids engaged, or making sure pets feel happy and safe.

Jupleen $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jupleen and I'm a recent grad from Georgetown where I studied International Affairs. I have previous experience babysitting mostly elementary school age kids and older. I have also been an overnight camp counselor for a few summers where I was in charge of kids aged 7-12. I love being active and doing creative activities with kids. I sometimes bring my Nintendo switch and kids love to play Just Dance! Depending on the age, I also love to bake with kids, and I am also open to help with tutoring, homework, or cooking. I played cello and tennis up until high school if that is of interest as well!
