Hi there- my name is Samana. I am currently living in the Marina and am open to evening / weekend babysitting opportunities. I grew up in the South Bay, have two younger siblings and lots of experience with children. In the past, have lived with families to help with kid duties & was a former camp counselor - love board games, puzzles, friendship bracelets, drawing etc. and am happy to help with infant care. I am a swimmer and am comfortable with pool safety. My full-time job is in the medical device space - looking forward to connecting soon!
I’m an Associate Teacher at an all girls school teaching 2nd grade. I’ve babysat for almost 4 years now and I’ve also spent weeks watching and taking care of my 2 year old nephew. Please let me know if you have any questions :)
Hi, I’m Maria, a highly experienced and compassionate caregiver with a strong background in education and specialized child care. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Preparation for Teaching and currently work as a substitute teacher, supporting students across a wide range of ages, abilities, and learning environments. I previously worked as a Preschool Teacher at La Petite Academy, where I was responsible for maintaining a safe, structured, and nurturing classroom. I supported daily routines, led age-appropriate learning activities, assisted with meals and transitions, and used positive behavior guidance to support social and emotional development. I understand how important consistency, patience, and clear communication are for young children. In addition, I have extensive experience working with children with disabilities and medical needs. I have supported children with autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, visual impairments, seizure disorders, behavioral challenges, and children who require tube feeding. Through my work in special education settings, I developed a calm, attentive, and safety-focused approach to care. I am comfortable following care plans, recognizing signs of distress, and working closely with families to meet each child’s individual needs. Beyond my education background, I have spent several years sailing internationally as part of a small crew, traveling over 15,000 nautical miles. This experience strengthened my sense of responsibility, safety awareness, problem-solving skills, and ability to remain calm in high-pressure situations. These qualities directly support my work with children and families. Families describe me as dependable, nurturing, and confident. I take pride in being someone parents can trust with their children’s safety, well-being, and daily care. I genuinely enjoy building meaningful connections with children and supporting families with reliable, thoughtful care.
My name is Jessica but I prefer to be called Jessy (system won't allow me to update my name). I’m a mom of a 10-year-old and a 3-year-old with a long background in childcare—babysitter, nanny, teacher, after-school, and summer camp work. I’m patient, dependable, and comfortable with kids of all ages, pets, and light household help. I am a part time HR consultant who would love to make a little extra money and always love being around awesome kiddos. I am generally available Tues and Thur mornings and evenings as well as weekends.
Hello - My name is Alex. I am offering childcare, household and pet sitting services. I love being a babysitter and enjoy working with children. I have been watching infants, toddlers, and kids 3+ since I was 16 years old. My most recent experience includes working at an infant daycare with children ages 0-2 here in San Francisco. I enjoy creating activities for the children that combines hands on activities with play-based learning. I also enjoy taking the children outdoors - whether that includes parks, museums or the local library for story time. I love animals so I am very comfortable working with families with any pets.

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
