Hi there! My name is Janna and I just graduated from CSUEB with my BA in Sociology. I have been babysitting in a casual familial setting since I was a tween and am looking to expand my services into a more professional environment. I offer child care to children from 6 months old to tween ages (including twins). I can also provide household services including cleaning, laundry, cooking, & running errands if needed. I have a driver's license and car if children need to be picked up or dropped off from extracurriculars or any appointments. I am happy to curate interactive and creative activities for kids to enjoy such as art, games, and active time. I love caregiving as it is so fulfilling to be a part of a child's journey into the world. I'm excited to hear back from you.
Hi, my name is Jessica. I’m originally from Madagascar and was raised in the Bay Area, fluent in both English and Malagasy. Caring for children has been a passion of mine for over a decade, and I have a strong background in child development. I’ve worked with children ages 1 to 14, helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe, supportive, and stimulating environment. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each child’s individual needs, and I enjoy being part of a family’s daily life helping with homework, activities, schedules, and even caring for pets. I have a clean driving record, am fully vaccinated, and can provide references, as well as my detailed nanny resume highlighting my previous experience. I would be honored to bring my experience, energy, and care to your family and help make your days a little easier while supporting your children’s growth and happiness.

Hello! My name is Daisy and I offer child care and even pet care too. I am a recent college graduate living here in San Francisco, specifically in the Outer Sunset. I have been babysitting since I was sixteen years old, from babies less than one to eleven year olds. My responsibilities have included playing with the kids, reading, and light cooking and cleaning. I love keeping kids engaged such as playing in the park, playing games or reading books. I make sure to keep kids entertained, while maintaining a clean environment.

"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
