Hi! My name is Kylie and am 24 years old! I have graduated from Indiana University in May of 2025 with my bachelors in Psychology! I am currently undergoing an online accelerated nursing program through University of Indianapolis! I am now in my senior year and am absolutely loving it! I also have hopes to become a PICU or NICU nurse in the future! I am currently a tech on an adult Med-Surg Unit so I am trained in CPR and BLS for all ages! I have babysat for many years, starting in 8th grade all the way into my freshman year of college, which was when my kiddos outgrew me:) I have babysat kids of all ages, starting with the newborn stage and even kids as old as 14! I absolutely love working with children in my free time! I look forward to connecting with you and meeting your babies!!
“Kylie was punctual and great with communication. My two grade school daughters had a fun night with her! Highly recommend!”
Hello families! My name is Galen and I’m looking forward to supporting your family’s child and other care needs. I’m a therapist by training and by day with a masters degree in social work, but I’m looking to build community and supplement my income by caring for children on nights and weekends. I have 15+ years of experience caring for kids of all ages as well as tutoring, pet care, cooking, and light housework. I took a few years away from this app to focus on grad school, but I’m excited to get back to childcare. I maintain CPR certification through work and am up-to-date on all vaccines. Looking forward to meeting you!
“Galen was fantastic. Not only was she kind and engaging with our 2yo but she was also very proactive in helping to tidy up toys and helping me out with my todo list in the kitchen while my daughter was napping. She was delightful and we’ll be having her back!”
I’m Gabi and am currently an Associate Teacher for a 2nd grade class. Previously, I worked younger grades as well. I am CPR and First Aid certified. Additionally, I have experience babysitting kids as young as infants and toddlers to older children. I would love to connect with families. I understand that trust is a major factor and key role so I take my position very seriously. I love having silly and goofy moments with kids playing but also love to instill in them responsibility and good decision making. I would love to connect with you and can provide a reference if needed. I have always had a love for helping children from a young age. As a teacher, I have loved getting to know my students and creating bonds with them. I'm looking forward to connecting with families in which I can add my bright energy, eagerness to learn, compassion, and empathy.
Hi! My name is Eva, and I recently graduated from UC Santa Barbara with a B.S. in Psychology and just moved to San Francisco. I’ve been caring for younger kids my whole life and have years of babysitting experience with toddlers and school-age children. I’m happy to help with school pick-ups and drop-offs, homework support, crafts, and outdoor play. I can also cook kid-friendly meals, tidy play areas, and handle household cleaning. I love animals and am comfortable caring for pets, like cats and small dogs. Whether you’re looking for regular childcare or occasional date-night coverage, I am reliable and energetic and ready to help!
*Note* Mainly accepting evenings or date nights. I would love to add more families to my roster of regulars; please feel free to text me if you are interested in a particular date! Hello parents! My name is Idallis (eyed-al-is). I’m a 27 year old Bay Area native with 9 years of experience as a member of Urbansitter. I have a background check, up to date vaccinations (including COVID booster and flu shot), 170+ positive reviews, and almost 700 bookings via this website. As a member of UrbanSitter, I’ve had full-time and part-time positions as well as one live-in position in 2020 with many wonderful families; additionally, I’ve been fortunate enough to have long-term relationships with some who have booked me regularly for date-nights for years. I use positive reinforcement as a form of discipline, and approach every situation with empathy and patience. What sets me apart is that I love my job, and most of the time - it doesn’t feel like one! I love working with children and encourage them to embrace their independence and explore their interests. While I work with a variety of age ranges, cumulatively I have the most experience with 1 to 2 year olds. However, I have gained a ton of experience with infants in the past three years (and I’m currently working with one!). I'm kind, charismatic, patient, and responsible. I studied art history for two years. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, baking, crocheting, and hanging out with my very affectionate cats or discovering locally owned restaurants with friends. Personal Policies/Requests: - I have a $120 minimum for each booking. Thank you! - I don’t drive so an Uber home or compensation is appreciated for evening bookings but of course, not required. - Please book alternative childcare if your child(ren) have symptoms of or have been diagnosed with COVID-19, flu, HFM, pink eye, and other highly contagious illnesses. I will also notify you if I have symptoms of anything contagious so that we can plan together accordingly.
“Punctual & professional. The boys gave her two thumbs up!”

"UrbanSitter has supported my needs for reliable and joyful sitters. Whether it be for work, recreation or last-minute emergencies, we've made wonderful relationships with local sitters who have become a part of our family!"
Natalie O., mom of five

"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
