Hello my name is Kandice and I’ve been working with UrbanSitter for the last 12 years and have worked with so many wonderful families! I currently teach 3rd grade in SFUSD and absolutely love working with children. I hope that we can work together in the near future! Thank you for the consideration and I look forward to speaking with you!
“Kandice was so kind and patient with our two boys!!”
I love having an active lifestyle. I’ve been babysitting for the past sixteen years. When I’m not babysitting, I teach children from 4-18 years old how to play golf. I love to complete puzzles, play outside, and play with toys. When it comes to deciding one over the other, I would much rather read to your children than have them stare at a television screen. I believe children learn better when they are less reliant on technology for entertainment.
“Ih she's wonderful! Good energy, on time, great communication. My kid just laughed and laughed! She plays well with the kids. So glad to have found her.”
Professional experience includes: 6 years in personal nannying, 10 years in childcare, and 12 years in teaching dance for children. I have extensive experience with infants and toddlers. College graduate and certificate in ASL interpreting and childhood development. CPR Certified. I can provide references! I enjoy caring for others, lightening the mental and physical load of everyday life, and treating your little one the way you would want them to be treated. My responsibilities have included: keeping a steady sleep/feeding schedule and bedtime routine, encouraging developmentally appropriate milestones, driving to/from school and after-school activities, and in-home tutoring. I have volunteered at a local organization for infant and toddler care for 5 years, worked in daycare at family camps for elementary school ages for 5 years, and worked with kids with special needs.
“Sarah is the best! She has worked for us for the past two years and has been such an important part of life for our family. She has everything a parent might wish for in a babysitter. She is very responsible, makes good decisions and communicates very clearly. My kid adores spending time with her because she is so playful and creative, always making up fun games and always following his lead. Sarah is very adept though at holding good boundaries, finding teachable moments and creative ways to handle any of my kids more challenging behavior. I could go on and on...... if you are here looking at her profile, you are lucky and have found a real gem!”
Hello! My name is Keziah and I am currently located in the east side of LA! I have been a member of Urban Sitter since 2017. I love working in caregiving because it allows me to build meaningful connections and make a positive difference in someone’s day! I’m very family-oriented and love spending time outdoors or cooking for friends. I bring that same warmth and dependability into the care I provide! Looking forward to hearing from you!
Hi there! My name is Emma, and I am so grateful you took the time to look into my account! A little about me, I grew up in Ventura and am currently in my final year of graduate school at Pacifica Graduate Institute to become a marriage and family therapist. I am currently working as a school therapist twice a week, gaining practicum hours towards my license. For undergrad, I studied anthropology and geography at Cal Poly SLO. In my free time, you can find me spending time in nature, playing guitar, practicing yoga, trying out new recipes, and going for runs. As the oldest girl in a long line of cousins, I have been babysitting most of my life. I am an aunt to four beautiful children aged 10, 8, 3, and 1. I temporarily moved into my brother's house the summer after the second oldest child was born to lend an extra hand. This gave me full-time experience working with infants and toddlers beyond the babysitting I had previously done. I am currently working at a PK-8 school and am very comfortable working with school-aged students as well. I believe in fostering creativity, confidence, and empathy in children while providing a safe, warm, and welcoming environment. I look forward to meeting with you and seeing if I am a good fit for your family! I am happy to answer any questions you have so feel free to reach out!

"UrbanSitter has supported my needs for reliable and joyful sitters. Whether it be for work, recreation or last-minute emergencies, we've made wonderful relationships with local sitters who have become a part of our family!"
Natalie O., mom of five

"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."
Laura F., mom of two
