Hi! My name is Helia and I'm currently a new graduate working full time in San Francisco. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I am an older sister to two siblings and have worked as an afterschool nanny throughout university to a twin boy and girl. My responsibilities have included pickup from school, homework help, and taking them to and from activities. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. Additionally, during COVID I used to hold art classes for students ages 3-5 as a way of entertainment and social connection throughout quarantine.
Hi, my name is Kate and I am a Masters student. I offer child care, senior care, and can help with a variety of household tasks. I’ve taken care of younger siblings and cousins for many years. I went to Dartmouth College where I studied Statistics and Studio Art (painting). I have been a tutor for all subjects from elementary to high school, and have also helped many high schoolers with college essay and test prep. I can cook and have a clean drivers license. I grew up with a German Shepherd and am comfortable with dogs. My hobbies include biking, reading, singing, and painting, all of which I love to do with kids!
Hi! I’m Iliana — a caregiver from San Francisco with hands-on experience caring for twins and toddlers.

I have my own transportation and am comfortable navigating around the city. I’d love to support a family looking for dependable childcare with a positive attitude and strong communication.

Hi! My name is Jackie. I’m new to UrbanSitter and I'd love to help you out with your little ones! I am currently a full-time preschool teacher working with children 2-5 years old and I have years of experience working with elementary aged children as well. I love to play games, sing songs, read books, and do art. I value building relationships with children and I have a lot of fun activities in my back pocket to keep them entertained. I have recently received my Bachelor's degree in Child and Adolescent Development and I am considering going for a Master's in Child Psychology. I have a cat of my own at home and have worked with many families that have dogs and cats, if pet care is needed as well. Working with children is my passion and I hope you give me the chance to work with yours (and give you a deserved break). (:

"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."
