Hello 👋 I’m Berfu, a friendly and experienced educator with nearly six years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids. Currently, I’m employed at a preschool and am actively seeking part-time or occasional work opportunities for the summer and beyond. I’ve completed six units of Early Childhood Education. I’m incredibly comfortable with babies and toddlers, and I always prioritize their safety and happiness. I’m also pet-friendly, fully vaccinated, and passionate about creating a fun, nurturing, and safe environment for children. Whether you need a helping hand, a trustworthy sitter, or a fun friend for your little ones, I’d love to help! 💛 Looking forward to meeting your family!
I am thrilled to join the Urbansitter community, and am looking forward to meeting and building relationships with families in the Bay Area. I have over 10 years of professional babysitting experience, and am comfortable working with children of all ages. I am very warm, engaging and attentive, and take pride in my ability to inspire the children I work with to learn, grow and explore within healthily established boundaries.
“Laura was great with the kids and very communicative. We would definitely hire her again, ”
Hello! I’m Jenny, your kid’s favorite sitter. 🙂I’m patient, energetic, and have experience with special needs. I use gentle parenting techniques and I’m very comfortable working with multiple kids. I’ve worked as a nanny and a babysitter for over two decades. Current CPR certification. Along with small humans, I am very comfortable with animals. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats with health needs in the past and feel comfortable giving meds.
☀️🌉☀️🌉☀️🌉☀️🌉☀️🌉☀️ Hello, I live in San Francisco and am familiar with almost all SF playgrounds and neighborhoods, as well as Marin and the Peninsula. I have been working as a Full Time professional nanny in the Bay Area for over 18 years, working with children starting at 1 month old -- to preschool -- to older children. Caring for multiple children is my specialty and I have a lot of newborn experience, families tell me I am great with infants/babies/toddlers and have a lot of patience and energy for these age groups as well as all the others. I absolutely love my job! 💛 Note: if I apply for your babysitting job, I accept the hourly rate that you set. I am currently working as a part time freelance nanny/babysitter for a couple families during the school year but my schedule is constantly evolving and I prefer to accept short-term or one time assignments -- I am always up for a new nanny assignment! Working with children keeps me young at heart and I have so much fun doing it. I am a confident person, very organized and love structure but also very relaxed/flexible and people say I have a very calming presence. Basically I will go with whatever flow you have going on in your home and follow your lead and preferences. I have always gravitated towards caring for children. After college (UC Santa Cruz, BA Psychology) I worked as a Literacy Tutor for first graders in East Oakland, and even after some time working in office jobs life lead me back to children. I started working for a Family Day Care center and there I learned valuable knowledge about caring for multiple infants and toddlers at a time. Up to 10-12 kids! It was a natural progression towards nanny work. I love to read to children, play games, creative play, running outside, playing sports, being silly/laughing, etc. My mom was an elementary school teacher and people tell me I am like a teacher. I must take after her :) I am great with infants and toddlers, I recognize non-verbal cues very clearly and think ahead. I take instruction well and I also can do well without any instruction because I have so many years experience and I am a no-nonsense type of personality. I have a genuine interest in every child's well being. Your children will be well taken care of, safe and happy in my care. ❤️ I am CPR/First Aid certified. I can travel throughout the Bay Area, I have a very reliable car, a 2016 VW Tiguan.
“Catherine was so amazing! She showed up on time, asked great questions before handing off, checked in when needed but otherwise handled everything independently, she cleaned up after the kids’ toys and dishes (didn’t request or require that at all). Kids said they had such a good time with her—which is the most important part! ”

"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."
