Hi, my name is Faith- I grew up in and love San Francisco. When I'm not babysitting, I'm surf instructing middle and high school age kids, baking, or singing to my cat. I'm CPR and first aid certified for infants, toddlers, and adults. I have experience working with infants and toddlers both on outings and at home, and elementary school aged children at home, sleep away camps, and surf summer camps. I love reading with kids, as well as baking, doing crafts, or leaving the house to walk or go to the park. When working with kids I think it's important to have empathy and and patience, as well as respect for their boundaries and autonomy. I like to resolve conflict by making sure everyone feels heard and allowing children to feel and have space to process big emotions. I take care of my cat, Dumpling, at home, and I have experience feeding, walking, and sitting for dogs. I'm also always open to caring for other pets and broadening my knowledge. In terms of senior care, I 've had the opportunity to intern at the VA hospital in their longer term wards and HDU. I'm happy to provide check-ins, cooking or meal prep services, or companionship. House hold services I can help with are cooking/baking, cleaning, and laundry.
“Faith is super responsible and also super fun! Our son loves spending time with her. Highly recommend.”
My name is Teresa but you can call me Tete. I am 30 years old and I was born in Mexico. I am offering child care, animal care and household services. When I was fourteen years old I entered an orphanage as a volunteer for children between zero and twelve years old. In the years I was not a volunteer, I babysit for a neighbor and worked at children's fairs. For the past 5 years I’ve been working with kids on the autism spectrum. From that experience I realized the great influence that we can be for children. We have the opportunity to teach them to be better human beings and at the same time we can learn from them despite their young age. Also animals are a big part of my life I have a lot of pets back in Mexico and I earned experience taking care of them. I drive since I was 17 years old and I have more than 5 years driving here in the United States.
Hello! My name is Annika - I’m offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I’ve been working with children for nearly seven years now, and have experience tutoring all age levels. I grew up on a farm, so I’m very comfortable taking care of furry (or scaly) friends too! I’d be happy to help around the house - cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, and running errands.
“So kind and sweet with our 3 month old baby! Thank you again for all your help today. :) ”
Hello! My name is Savannah, and I am currently an elementary school teacher. I earned my degree in Child Development with an emphasis in Elementary Education from San Francisco State University. I also have an MA in Curriculum and Instruction from SFSU. My passion for teaching began at a young age, inspired by watching my mother teach. I started working with children at 12 as a teacher’s assistant at my dance studio and became a dance teacher at 14, working with students ages 3–12 for six years. I’ve also worked in a child development center with toddlers and have many years of babysitting experience with school-age children. I am passionate about creating positive, engaging learning environments where children feel supported and inspired. Outside of teaching, I’m a big dog lover and have grown up with golden retrievers my whole life!
“Warm and reliable, we hope she comes back! ”
My name is Caitlin and I am a fully qualified early childhood educator with eight years of professional experience. I love working with young children and guiding them through their development, and enjoy engaging in fun activities with them such as art projects, pretend play and reading books. Building trusting relationships with children is something I take pride in, and I am known for my calm and nurturing personality. I am currently a lead preschool teacher, working with children ages 3-5, and have also been lead teacher for a two year-old class. I have earned a bachelor's degree in Child-Adolescent Development, along with a minor degree in Special Education. Other certifications I have include child and adult CPR and first aid.
“A wonderful teacher we have worked with at our school. She is beloved by all the kids for her easygoing manners and especially our own kid as well. We are always delighted to have her over!”

"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."
