Hello, I'm Sofia! Currently working with a lovely family helping care for their infant daughter (and young doggo!). I completed studies at USF in 2019 with my major in Critical Diversity Studies, and a minor in Legal Studies. I have been a family helper/nanny for over 13 years with children ranging in the ages of newborns to teenagers. I also have worked with six separate families with infant twins, one of which were preemies. I have an excellent driving record in case you are in need of help that requires me to drive. I am a huge animal lover as well, so if you have any pets, I am open to help care for them as well such as walking and feeding them, etc. Currently open to part time work: 1-2 days a week and/or date night help. I cannot commit to specific work days as my schedule varies, but can work with a family that has some schedule flexibility. Thanks in advance! Fully vaccinated & boosted 💉
“Sofia is such a wonderful caregiver; we feel very lucky to have found her to help take care of our baby Grace from 4-6 months old. She is highly professional, knowledgeable about infant feeding and sleeping schedules, and has a very nurturing presence. Sofia was the first consistent babysitter we had, and felt comfortable trusting her with Grace. Sofia took care of Grace at home while I worked from home and took Grace out on walks around the neighborhood so she could have fresh air during the day. In addition, she is wonderful to chat with and learn from. I would highly recommend Sofia to take care of little ones.”
Hi there! I’m Sophia 😊 I have 10+ years of babysitting and childcare experience, and I’ve been part of UrbanSitter since 2018. I started babysitting in my neighborhood when I was younger, and I’ve loved working with kids ever since - especially after moving to San Francisco! I currently work a 9-5, so I’m available for part-time babysitting. I have experience with meal prep, school pickups and carpools, light housekeeping, and planning fun, engaging activities to keep kids happy and busy. I also spent 3 years volunteering part-time at a daycare, which gave me even more hands-on experience with children of different ages. I truly enjoy building connections with families and creating a safe, positive environment for kids!
“Sophia was fabulous with my kids and pets. They were very happy with her and are eager to have her come back again!”
Hi there! 👋 I’m Pearl and if you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves being around kids, you’ve found her. I’ve spent over 20 years working with children in nearly every setting imaginable: summer camps, preschools, two years living with a family as an au pair, and ongoing nanny work. What started as a passion became a calling. Every single stage shaped how I show up for the children in my care, present, patient, and genuinely enthusiastic. What families tell me sets me apart: • I come prepared. Whether it’s a rainy afternoon or a meltdown before naptime, I’m calm, creative, and never at a loss. • I use positive discipline, no yelling, no fear, just connection and clear boundaries. • I treat your home like my own and your routines like law. Your rules are my rules, full stop. • Kids tend to open up to me fast. I think it’s because I take them seriously. I’m currently available for occasional bookings, perfect if you need reliable backup coverage, a regular date night sitter, or someone to step in when life gets busy. I’d love to connect and learn more about your family. Send me a message, I always respond quickly! Pearl
“She kept Jack extremely busy with great games and crafts - was great with my crazy dog too!”
Hello! My name is Audrey, I am a secondary school teacher based in London, and I am looking for occasional babysitting work while I am home for the summer. I have a masters of science in education from the University of Pennsylvania, five years teaching experience, and many more years experience babysitting and working as a camp counselor. I have experience with all ages from three months and above. I also have experience working with children with autism, ADHD, medical needs and children learning English. I would love to spend the day with your child/children! Please reach out if you have any questions. Please note that I do not drive and I will be taking the bus.
Hi! My name is Liana and I’m looking for one-time and occasional babysitting jobs. I’m a Physician Assistant student at Stanford University and am looking to make some extra money while I’m in school. I have always loved working with kids. I graduated with a B.S in Neuroscience from Santa Clara University and I hope to work in pediatrics as a PA. I have past experience as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), pediatric medical assistant, daycare volunteer, and math/reading tutor. I have my own car and am comfortable driving to/from activities. I enjoy reading, baking, spending time outside, watching tv/movies, and doing crafts!

"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."
