Hey there - I am Kesley, I have more than 6 years of experience in child care, 5 years of experience as a nanny in the Bay Area and San Francisco. I have a lot of driving experience and always drive safe and drive my own car. I have been taking care of a sweet boy for over 2 years now and he is going to preschool so I am available for a full time. I have experience with all ages and I can provide great references. I am going to graduate with my associates in child development at city college in May. I am really excited to connect and help you with your little ones. On my free time I like the outdoors and spend time with my friends traveling or just hanging out in the area. I am fully vaccinated
“Kesley has been with us for over a year full time, and has been everything we have been looking for in a caregiver. As soon as you meet her, you sense how caring she is. She is very gentle, patient, and understanding. When put son has big emotions - she remains calm and looks for fun and creative ways to cheer him up. Kesley is also an excellent teacher (and we've been told she is by other parents as well) - she will not push too hard, but just enough to challenge him to learn and try new things. At our request, she's read up on and is familiar with Montessori Baby / Toddler as well as the Wonder Weeks, and she has also taken the Tinyhood online classes. I really value how she will also always put the child first, and do the "right" thing, even if it's a little less convenient - she won't look for the easy way out. She is also very good at following directions - we gave her a schedule to follow and she will follow it - at the same time, she uses sound judgement to make decisions if something comes up. She also takes our son to and from his classes on time and then participates and engages with him during class. Kesley has a big heart and lots of energy. Our son started part time day care to help prepare him for preschool, and Kesley has been flexible with the schedule and very reliable. She is truly a joy to have around! ”

Hi, my name is Lauren and I'm a 24 year old Bay Area native. I grew up in San Mateo and went to SI in the Sunset for high school! I graduated from Northeastern University in 2024, and have been working in tech since. In my free time, I’m super passionate about health and wellness, fitness, and cooking. I am offering child care and household services and have a flexible schedule right now! Unfortunately, I was recently laid off from my role in high tech, but am making the most of the situation. I’m an energetic, responsible, respectful, kind and caring person and have a background volunteering with children and adults with disabilities. I also have lots of experience looking after friends and families, and was a babysitter in college. More than happy to cook, clean, and run errands. As an older sister, these things come naturally to me! I have booked with four families on UrbanSitter in the past, and am looking to babysit again, tutor, or help around the house while I begin my job search.

My name is Caitlin and I am a fully qualified early childhood educator with eight years of professional experience. I love working with young children and guiding them through their development, and enjoy engaging in fun activities with them such as art projects, pretend play and reading books. Building trusting relationships with children is something I take pride in, and I am known for my calm and nurturing personality. I am currently a lead preschool teacher, working with children ages 3-5, and have also been lead teacher for a two year-old class. I have earned a bachelor's degree in Child-Adolescent Development, along with a minor degree in Special Education. Other certifications I have include child and adult CPR and first aid.
“A wonderful teacher we have worked with at our school. She is beloved by all the kids for her easygoing manners and especially our own kid as well. We are always delighted to have her over!”
Zazie

Booked by 5 families in Emeryville, CA
My experience mainly comes from my family. I have been babysitting my little brother since I was 10 and he was 6. More recently, I have been babysitting my cousins, a 1-year-old, a 4-year-old, and a 9-year-old. I have also managed kids at various summer camps. Whenever I take care of my cousins, we always end up belting out show tunes on our made-up stage. On the quieter side, I also like to draw and do paper crafts, so I am more than happy to sit with kids and do crafts for hours. I’m looking for summer work before heading off to college, and I’d love to help make your family’s summer a little easier.
“Our daughter had a great time with Zazie!”
