Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and patient babysitter with experience caring for children ages 1–12 through babysitting family members. I enjoy doing arts & crafts, painting, reading, going on walks, and finding fun, age-appropriate activities to keep kids engaged. I’m looking for part-time opportunities and am flexible with hours when communicated in advance. I’m also a Certified Medical Assistant, giving me additional training in health, safety, and caring for others. I’d love to help your family and make sure your little ones feel safe, happy, and cared for!
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!”
Hello Families! My name is Keren, I’m from Colombia and I have 6 years of professional experience caring for children from 4 months to 5 years old. I’m passionate about creating a safe, loving, and stimulating environment where children can grow and thrive. My childcare approach is inspired by Montessori principles and respectful parenting, encouraging independence, curiosity, and kindness. I believe in engaging children through creative play, storytelling, music, outdoor activities, and hands-on learning experiences. I adapt my activities according to each child’s age, personality, and needs. I am CPR certified, pet-friendly, a strong swimmer, and a non-smoker. I am comfortable caring for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, managing daily routines such as feeding, naps, diaper changes, potty training and developmental activities. I also enjoy helping with light meal prep and keeping play areas organized. As a native Spanish speaker with basic English skills (improving every day), I’m happy to introduce children to a second language in a natural and fun way. Families I’ve worked with describe me as patient, trustworthy, and responsible, with a genuine love for children. I value open communication with parents to ensure we are always working together in the best interest of the child. My goal is to become a positive and dependable part of your family’s support system, helping your little ones feel safe, loved, and excited to learn. I look forward to meeting your family and providing care that is both professional and full of heart.
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!
Hello, I'm Grace! I am currently working toward becoming a social studies teacher and am attending SF State's credential and masters program. I have ten years of experience in childcare and nannying, ranging from newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids to preteens. I started babysitting in high school, have held summer nannying positions for multiple children, served and trained as a summer camp counselor, and also worked part time as a preschool teacher for a few years. I have held certifications in First Aid and CPR for several years as well! Some of my past childcare work has included: creating engaging and activity-filled themed weeks to help pass the summer days, assisting with morning routines/school drop-offs as well as afterschool care, completing overnight stays, and managing multiple siblings whose ages ranged from toddler to preteen. I am also happy to assist with household needs, petsitting (for dogs, cats, and any other beloved mammal/reptilian/bird/amphibian/fish family members), cooking, and more.

"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."
