Booked by 2 families in San Francisco, CA
Hi there! My name is Paola, I’m from Colombia and I’m 29 y/o. I was an Au Pair from 2020 to 2022 with a wonderful family in the Bay Area with 3 kids, but I have been working in childcare and parent helping positions (Helping with kids care, schedule and house tasks) the last years while going to grad school. I have experience taking care of babies, toddlers and older kids as well. I enjoy teaching, supporting and helping with kids development processes through art craft projects and outdoor activities, I also like encouraging and joining their own preferred activities. I’m very good with babies, very aware of their development process and how to encourage them and support them according to their own needs and speed. I have a driver's license in CA so I can drive if needed, have a clean driving record, but I don’t have a car. I’m used to biking, using public transportation, or walking in the city. I feel totally confortable biking with kids. I used to bike with a baby and a 5 yr old in the back of an electric bike and enjoyed it a lot! My priorities while taking care of kids are safety, respect and of course fun! I’m a very organized person and I highly appreciate and encourage respect, honesty and empathy from and to others.
“Paola was wonderful - she arrived on time, immediately made my shy son feel comfortable, and she shared a very nice recap of their time together. I would love to have her come again!”
Silvia $30 per hour for 1 child
Hi my name is Silvia and I am currently looking for a family that needs child care, preferably babies or toddlers. I have experience being a nanny for about 15 years, taking care of kids from different ages, including my own two children. I love to take the kids to playgrounds and being active with them outdoors. I can provide references from previous families that can attest to work ethic. I am more than happy to provide light cleaning around the house while the kids are sleeping/busy. I have a drivers license, fully vaccinated, and I am CPR certified. On my free time I like to go on hikes and going for runs. Please feel free to reach out and ask me any questions!
Arnelyn $25 per hour for 1 child
Hi families! My name is Arnelyn and I graduated from UC Davis in 2021 with a major in Psychology and minor in Sociology. I am excited to offer childcare support and household support if needed. I have worked with children for as long as I can remember. I am the eldest of 5 children so I’ve had my fair share in having to babysit and watch my siblings. In addition, I have almost 5 years experience working in Youth Development as a Program Leader and Program Coordinator for an afterschool program. I have had the opportunity to work with school aged children from TK all the way to 5th grade. I can support children with homework, reading, and arts & crafts activities. I am excited to meet your family!

"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."
