Booked by 63 families in Daly City, CA

2/27/26 UPDATE: Moving forward I ask that parents respect my cancellation fee of 50% of the cost of the previously agreed upon booking when cancelling a booking with less than 24 hours in advance. If the booking was not made with a set hard end time, I ask that you please accept a fee of $50. Hello! My name is Kaia. I believe it takes a village to raise a child. Being raised by a single parent myself, I am passionate about serving families in my community who need extra childcare support. Queer and trans friendly. While I believe *all* family styles deserve proper childcare, households close to a BART station/commuter friendly are more convenient for me right now.

Kaia was reliable, warm and friendly and very engaging with my 4 year old! I am literally booking her again right now!

Hello! ☺️ I am a current graduate student at San Francisco State working toward a Master in Social Work. I was a full time nanny in the city prior to Covid and am looking to jump back in for occasional jobs while I'm in school. I have cared for newborns, infants, toddlers, twins, and kids as old as ten and as young as six weeks. I've also done weekend stays and overnights with families. I am BLS (Basic Lifesaving Skills) certified and comfortable around pets. Thanks for reading!

***45+ repeat families as of 8/2026, just not through Urbansittter!!! *** Hello! I'd really love to get to know your family! I'm selectively applying for engagements, so if I've clicked on you, there's something I loved in your write-up! I am recently back to work after taking a two year sabbatical. During that time, I sat for a bit over 100 different families and am asked back about half the time! At this point I am only doing evening/night-time sitting, and depending upon what care you need I will consider doing weekend daytime too. I really enjoy being around kids of all ages. If your kid(s) are of the right age, I love to play games, do puzzles, read, or as I see some of you are up for, taking kids around SF to explore this incredible city! I'd love the opportunity to help your household out by responsibly doing some fun things with your child(ren). Or, if they're too young for these things, I'm very responsible and will ensure your newborn or toddler are well looked after. I babysat when I was a teenager, and was a part-time nanny for a couple of years in college, but in my adult life I play pinch-babysitter to friends or family when they get into a bind. Or when they're going to an all-day wedding they need to plan weeks in advance! As such, I know that emergencies come up and I'd be ideal for last minute bookings with my open schedule! Happy to have a conversation or an online meeting if you want to get to know me before having me to your home. On a personal front, I love to travel! In fact, that's part of why I'm continuing to be on Urbansitter, to help finance my next trip - please help me!!! :) Also I am a puppy lover who doesn't mind cats, so if you're a pet family, all the better! Hope to connect soon!

Raemi was wonderful and we would love to work with her again! She was very responsive, messaged to confirm the night before, came exactly when she said she would, was thoughtful about asking clarifying questions about care, gave me confidence that she could handle the situation even though our daughter was very upset when I left, and provided me relevant updates during the night.

Hi! I’m Eva, a lifelong childcare enthusiast with just shy of 20 years of experience supporting families and nurturing kids of all ages, from newborns to tweens. I have extensive newborn/infant experience and am well versed in all things diapers, bottles, swaddles, and infant sleep! I often support twins and triplets, and families with 3+ young children. I’ve been a pediatric play based therapy provider for 13 years and I work full-time as a behavior analyst with children ages one to six, helping them build independence through silliness, play, routine, and connection! Whether it's navigating toddler play or supporting school-age routines, I aim to bring a calm, joyful, and dependable presence to every family I work with. Here’s a quick snapshot of my nanny experience in addition to hundreds of evening and weekend babysitting jobs for many families: Triplet Caregiver (Part-Time (20 hrs a week) from 3 months to 3 years): Provided care M-F, from 9 AM to 1 PM including meals, naps, play, outings, and household help. Continued to support the family for years through evening and weekend care after the kids began pre-school. Full-Time Nanny (40 hrs/week): Supported two sisters (ages 1.5 and 3) with daily routines, drop-off/pickup, meals, outings, playtime and household tasks becoming an extension of their family. Current Weekly Care: Evening/weekend sitter for two sweet brothers (ages 2 and 4), managing everything from active play to community adventures to bedtime routines. My approach is warm, patient, and play-based and I will aim to adapt to your family’s values and routines while creating a safe, engaging, and supportive environment for your child (Whether we’re exploring the outdoors, making up silly stories, or winding down for bedtime).
