Hi, my name is Tyler, and I was born and raised in Burlingame and recently moved to San Francisco! I recently graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder and moved back home to start my career. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m excited to offer childcare, senior care, pet care, and household services to local families. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14, caring for infants, toddlers, and kids of all ages. My responsibilities have included driving to activities, organizing crafts, lifeguarding, tutoring, and more. In addition to childcare, I’m experienced as a household assistant and can help with cooking, organizing, running errands, and managing household tasks. I’ve also cared for my own grandparents, so I’m comfortable providing senior care, whether it’s cooking meals, driving to appointments, assisting with daily tasks, or simply offering companionship. I pride myself on being responsible, trustworthy, and great with kids—always ensuring their safety while making sure they have fun. I look forward to supporting your family!
Hi my name is Anna and I’ve been officially caring for children for more than 10 years. I have most of my experience from toddler age to older children but have been caring for infants in recent years. I began watching children early in my teenage years, starting with family and eventually caring for others children. I am currently completing my Associates in Child Development for my professional credential at City College. I enjoy getting the kids outside when the weather is nice so they can play at the parks and soak up the sun. Open to phone interviews to learn more about each other!
Hi! I’m Fernanda, a speech-language pathologist from Chile with a strong background in early childhood development. I currently work as a nanny in San Francisco, caring for infants and toddlers. I specialize in language stimulation, sensory play, and structured routines. I’m warm, responsible, organized, and bilingual (Spanish/English). I’m also happy to help with meal prep, light housekeeping, laundry, and pet care. I truly enjoy creating a safe, nurturing environment where children can grow and families feel fully supported.
I’m a dependable and compassionate nanny with several years of experience caring for children of all ages, including those with special needs. I’ve completed Human Growth and Development and Teaching coursework, which helps me understand children’s emotional and developmental stages. I’m patient, creative, and love keeping kids engaged through play, learning, and routine. I’m also comfortable with pets, light housekeeping, and school pickups. Families describe me as reliable, calm under pressure, and easy to communicate with.
Hi Families! I would like to introduce myself, my name is Bianca, but I also go by Bibi. I am a full time dental assistant and love what I do. As a dental assistant for both adults and children, i’ve learned to be patient, gentle and really tune into what each child needs to feel comfortable. I bring warmth, kindness, & positive energy to every moment. I’d love the chance to make your child feel happy, cared for, & right at home with me!

"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."
