Hello, I have recently moved to San Francisco. I was a nanny in San Diego for many years while I loved there and am currently looking to find a weekend position so I can continue my passion. Please note I do ask for a 4 hour minimum for a one-time job and an added $50/per day for holidays.

I am a mother of two amazing girls. When they were toddlers I had them in a co op preschool where the parents worked a few days a week. I really enjoyed it and my girls did as well. That was definitely my calling for working with children. I am comfortable with multiple children at one time. I love babies, toddlers and kids of all ages. Some of my favorite activities are reading books, playing games and exploring the outdoors.

“Lillian was great. Punctual, energetic, and engaged. She stepped right in and warmed my daughter up quickly. She also encouraged and cleaned up the activities which I appreciated. Would hire Lillian again! ”

Hi my name is Krystal and I have been babysitting since I was about 12 or 13 and love it! I babysit children of all ages and enjoy playing outside games or even staying inside to play. In my spare time I enjoy watching and playing sports, baking, and volunteering! I have volunteered at soup kitchens, marathons, and the Ronald McDonald House!

I am a creative, caring, VERY energetic, physically fit, patient mom of 3 grown-up boys and “Super-Mima” to MANY Urban Sitter children 🎉🎊🎈I major in ACTIVE PLAY with children, engaging them in fun games and educational activities appropriate to their ages.... babies and toddlers too with whom I have extensive experience. I am also an art instructor for the developmentally disabled at Cedars of Marin and have a lifetime of familiarity with special needs children. Art projects, creating block or Magna-Tile castles, and building forts are all-time favorites with me and the kids! Puppets and “stuffy birthday parties” are big hits with 2-5 year olds🥳. 6-8 year olds excel in riddles & jokes and balloon battling.🎈9-12 year olds love tricky brain teasers, 20 Questions, and art projects. I was born in San Francisco & grew up in San Rafael. I went to UCLA with Art & History majors. Besides three sons, I have one fabulous grand-daughter, Zoe age 11 that I cared for extensively as a “high-needs” infant, + Samuel, my 2 year old grandson 💝. I drive a 2017 Toyota Corolla and have a flexible schedule and am available for "date nights" and late nights or overnight if need be. Please read my outstanding reviews. Children especially enjoy me because I PLAY WITH them. I bring an assortment of great books because just about ALL children love being read stories. Please note I have a background in senior companionship care with excellent local references + a CA Dept of Social Services Care Provider Bureau background check with CLEARANCE besides my Urban Sitters background check. I am also CPR / First Aid Certified updated every 2 years

Hi, I’m Samara! I’m an experienced and caring nanny with a true passion for childcare. I volunteered for 8 years in a daycare in Brazil, caring for kids from 6 months to 7 years old, and I’ve been babysitting in the U.S. since 2016, including 2 years as an au pair. Families describe me as responsible, trustworthy, and always on time. I love helping children learn, develop, and have fun! I look forward to meeting you and your family! Sincerely, Samara
