Find a babysitter in San Francisco, CA

I have 10+ years of babysitting experience, including caring for the same family for 8 years—from when the child was a newborn through age 8. That experience taught me how to handle everything from infant care to school routines with patience and consistency. I’m reliable, easygoing, and love spending time with kids—whether that’s playing, helping with homework, or keeping a calm, safe environment. I’m also big on clear communication with parents and making sure everyone feels comfortable.

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.

Hi there! I’m Naweera, and I have several years of childcare experience caring for children ranging from 9-month-old infants to children over 10 years old. I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, calm, and engaging environment for kids. I’m patient, reliable, and warm, and I bring a thoughtful, structured approach to childcare. I also have experience as a tutor, so I’m happy to help with homework across subjects like math (algebra, geometry, trig), English, and the Arts. I’m comfortable with meal prep, bedtime routines, and light cleanup, and I’m also great with pets. I like to keep kids engaged through activities, games, and conversation rather than just screen time. I especially enjoy spending time with children outdoors and fostering curiosity through activities that engage their minds and senses, such as reading, nature walks, creative play, arts and crafts, and other hands-on experiences. Happy to provide references upon request. I can't wait to meet your family!
