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.
Hey parents! I’m Sarah and with over 10 years of experience babysitting and teaching, I’m here to make your life a little easier by providing awesome childcare, tutoring, and household support. I’ve always loved working with kids, and I’m confident I can be a great fit for your family. I have a master's degree am fluent in Mandarin and would be happy to teach your kids Mandarin and tutor them after school in most subjects. Background I’m a 4th Generation San Franciscan who works as a SaaS Account Executive 9-5 and would love to support you with your children in the evenings and weekends. Childcare Services As the oldest of three (with siblings three and six years younger), I basically grew up raising children. I started babysitting in 4th grade and kept at it throughout middle and high school, mostly working with kids aged 4 to 12. After college, I moved to Taiwan and taught English to Kindergarten and 1st graders and tutored high school students for three years. So whether your child is a toddler or a teen, I’ve got plenty of experience with all ages! I’m fluent in Mandarin and would love to teach your kids the language! I also have a master’s degree from the University of Bath and a bachelor’s from UC Davis, so I’m happy to help tutor in most subjects (just don’t ask me for math help, haha). I’m into sports like volleyball and tennis, so if your kids love being active, I’d be happy to play with them. Plus, I’ve got a 2017 Lexus NX200T and can assist with carpooling. I’m currently working on getting re-certified in CPR and can share references if you’d like! Pet Care Services I love animals, and I’m comfortable handling dogs, cats, and even larger pets. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or playtime, I’ve got it covered—even if your furry friend sheds a lot. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your family soon!

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.
“Get along super well with our 5 year old girl. She is warm, cheerful, reliable, and excellent with communications. Also she is very open to helping out with light cleaning around the house and other household or personal assistant type of tasks. Highly recommend! ”

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."
