Hi! I’m Gina, welcome to my profile. I just moved back to the Bay Area and I’d love to be your nanny or date night sitter. I also accept last minute requests. I have over 14 years of childcare experience from teaching, nannying, and date night sitting. I’ve worked with all ages, infant through preteen and have a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies. I’m well versed in child development and personally like a Montessori style approach but happy to tailor my care to parents preferences. During my undergrad, I researched the benefits of yoga for children with Autism and ADHD. I’d be happy to share my research, if interested. When working with families, I appreciate a team player and growth mindset. When a child makes a mistake, we learn, we grow and we move past it. I like to lead with empathy, compassion, and curiosity. Families I’ve worked with describe me as nurturing, responsible and fun. Keeping your child safe is my top priority and I will care for your child as if they were my own. When caring for your child/children, I like to let the child lead the adventure. Activities I’ve done with past families are arts and crafts, playing ball with friends, storytime at the library, music class, teddy bear birthdays, and play dates at the park. In addition to caring for your child, I like to keep play area tidy, assist with laundry, and love to make kid friendly meals. A fan favorite is Brocoli Quesadilla. Outside of nannying, I am an artist and reseller. I love to thrift, paint, create pottery, doodle, and photography. I recently got into gardening and growing an herb garden. Fresh Rosemary and Cilantro here I come!
Hi families! I’m a Duke University & HBS graduate with 15+ years of experience caring for children from newborns through elementary age in both caregiving and educational settings (tutoring in Montessori school settings). I believe every child is unique, with their own temperament, routines, interests, and ways of communicating. My approach is to meet each child where they are, pay close attention to what helps them feel secure and engaged, and adapt my care to support their individual needs and development 🌱 I’m CPR and First Aid certified, fully vaccinated, and highly attentive to health and safety. I also have experience caring for infants and toddlers with severe allergies, including following EpiPen and emergency-response protocols. I offer occasional family support in San Francisco alongside my full-time career. I genuinely love partnering with families and supporting kids as they learn and grow through each stage of their development! 🤍 * Mission-based * Not available for full-time care
“Amir was so great with our two year old son! It was our first time leaving him with someone and she handled it perfectly, keeping him entertained while also being honest about us being out. Thank you Amir! ”
Hello, I’m Alyssa. I am 36, I currently work as a lead 3/4 year old teacher through UCSF. I have over a decade of experience babysitting and nannying through urbansitter and I have 4 years of experience teaching in a preschool classroom. I have a double major in Human Development (BS) and Psychology (AB) from UC Davis. I also possess an Associate of Science degree in Early Childhood Education and 8 Associate of Arts degrees. I have current infant first aid and CPR certification as well as trust line (fingerprinting) certification. My upbringing prepared me for a career in childcare. I was raised the oldest female of thirteen cousins and often helped cook, change diapers, and care for my younger cousins with my grandmother every day after school. Caring for children from a very early age helped equip me with a variety of tools to approach children with patience, creativity, warmth, and kindness that I employ every day when I work with children. While I was in college, I nannied with children 1-on-1 for 7 years and I worked as a library aide for 5 years. In the past I volunteered for 8 years coaching volleyball and basketball to 3rd-8th graders, and volunteered for 2 years as a 1st grade English tutor. I began babysitting when a family from work asked me to help watch their three children. I also have lots of experience watching twins and their sibling simultaneously. You can probably tell from my extensive schooling background that providing quality education is one of my core beliefs. It is vitally important for me to contribute to shaping children’s growing minds in environments that are supportive, constructive, and open to letting children try different approaches to learning where they are allowed to fail and grow from their mistakes. I love encouraging literacy, teaching through songs, scaffolding how to try new things on the playground, creating art projects, and incorporating gross motor activity to stimulate retention in the classroom. Thank you for reading and looking forward to hearing from you soon! I have a 24 hour cancellation policy - I will charge 50% for the cancelled booking with less than 24 hours notice. I have multiple references for cat, dog, reptile, and house sitting. I also have references for doing overnight care & before/after school drop-off.
