Hi, my name is Shirley and I’m a 39yr old female. I’m offering child care, after school/activities, crafts, household services, and walks to the park would be great. I’m an event planner. I’ve been in the bay for about 20yrs and currently living in San Francisco. I love kids and animals. I enjoy working out, traveling, taking care of my indoor plants, and spend time with family and friends on my free time. I’m pretty responsive to keeping you updated with your kids. I like to keep things clean and organized. Depending on my schedule, I’m free on weekends and certain holidays. Currently part-time with another family. Feel free to reach out if you have questions.
Hi, I’m Leticia, and I’ve been taking care of children for over 7 years. Being around them reminds me that life can be light and fun. One of the things that I love most about being a nanny is seeing the world through their eyes, and also knowing that I’m helping a little person grow and develop brings purpose to my job. I have experience with children from infants to 12 year old, caring for kids of different ages and twins. I like to get to know the child I’ll be caring for so I can plan some activities based on what they like, but I also love spending time outdoors and doing creative activities like arts and crafts, pretend play, music, story time, etc. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, a responsible driver, a non smoker, and pet friendly. I value open communication with parents and always try to create a warm, trusting relationship with the families I work with. I would love to talk more to get to know each other better and answer any questions you may have!
Hi my name is Jaime. I’m currently a paraeducator at a high school school in the San Francisco Unified School District. I am offering child services. I love working with kids and I have experience with kids with disabilities for 3 years. I have a decade of experience working with infants and toddlers. I feel comfortable working with pets, I have a cat myself. I can help out around the household. I’m detail oriented, patient and caring.
“Jaime is amazing! We have a 3 year old and a 5 year old and they both love him and he’s so great with them. We work weird hours some days so it’s hard to find someone that’s reliable, but he’s perfect! He’s on top of their napping/sleep schedule, their eating schedule, he makes sure they brush their teeth and go potty before bed, the list goes on. They’re so energetic and he so patient with them and knows how to keep them entertained! The kids always look forward to him babysitting. We have nothing but great things to say about him!”
Hi I’m Layci and I have been an educator for over 10 years and working as an elementary school teacher for the past 8 years teaching 1st-6th grades. I have been a nanny and babysitter for families all around the Bay Area for over 14 years. I have experience with newborns, infants, toddlers and children with special needs. I have helped families as a night nanny and with various medical needs as well. I love animals and have grown up around cats, dogs, geckos, hamsters and bunnies. I also have my own urban outdoor garden and love indoor plants as well. I am reliable, confident, and fun. I am firm but warm and while I set boundaries, I also adhere and defer to family expectations and dynamics. I love working with kids and enjoy being able to create engaging and fun activities. I will engage in imaginative play, arts and crafts, and science experiments. I can cook and help with light clean up. I have references upon request, and happy to provide a cell number if you are interested in talking more. I can’t wait to get to know your family!
“Layci was great! She came well prepared with activities and my daughter had so much fun with her.”
I’m a caring and reliable babysitter with experience working with children of many different ages. I currently work with special needs kids, which has helped me develop strong patience, communication skills, and a calm, supportive approach. I truly love working with children and plan to go into education after college. I enjoy creating a safe, fun environment where kids feel comfortable, engaged, and encouraged to be themselves.

"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."
