Find a babysitter in San Francisco, CA

Hi, I’m Laura! I’m a professional nanny with nearly 10 years of experience caring for children from infancy through school age. I’m CPR certified and committed to providing safe, nurturing, and engaging care where children feel supported, confident, and encouraged to learn and grow. Throughout my career, I’ve supported families through many stages of childhood, with extensive experience caring for newborns and infants. I’m comfortable establishing and maintaining routines, supporting developmental milestones, tummy time, developmental play, naps and sleep routines, introducing age-appropriate activities, and implementing therapeutic exercises under professional guidance. I also have experience caring for multiple children at the same time. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and communicative, and I truly value building trusting, long-term relationships with both children and parents. I have strong references from families I’ve worked with over the years, including long-term relationships that have continued beyond my time working with their children. I enjoy keeping children active and engaged through walks, parks, classes, library visits, and other age-appropriate outings and activities. I speak both English and Spanish and enjoy creating a warm, organized, and positive environment where children can thrive. I’d love the opportunity to support your family!

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.

Hi, I'm Wendi--a really fun sitter who has worked with kids of all ages for over twenty years. I'm also a mom who has had a fantastic time raising four kids in SF. I love working with groups of kids and was a Nursery Director for seventeen years caring for children from birth to age three. Currently, I teach first and second-grade at a public charter school which led me into the adventure of homeschooling my 13-year-old daughter. Some of my favorite things to do with kids are read, bake, explore Golden Gate Park, and play board games. I have also facilitated regular parenting classes dealing with topics such as anxiety in the home, choosing the right SF school for your child, and how to bring "play" into your daily routines. Your kids will be safe and have tons of fun. I look forward to meeting you.

Hello, I’m Nancy and I love kids! I am a very reliable, safe, fun former high school teacher (20 + yrs) have also taught preschool and middle school. I’m excellent at caring for children of any age, and I have experience working with children who are neurodivergent. My own lovely daughter is now 23! I most enjoy being a babysitter so I can focus on one or two (or 3) children. I love doing fun and creative things with kids -art, building, dancing, playing games, reading etc. I bring optional art projects and books based on the interests of your child, but I like to follow their inclinations. They always come up with something so interesting. I like to nurture their inner creativity, imagination & sense of self sufficiency. I will follow the routine you set. I continue to work with the families who hired me on Urban Sitter offsite. I am always happy to FaceTime in advance. Thank you for your consideration.
