My name is Leah, and I’d be happy to help out with your kiddos! A little about me — I’m a graduate of Pomona College in Claremont, California, and recently moved to San Francisco. I’ve worked with children for many years as a camp counselor, tutor, and behavior interventionist for children with special needs. I also have several years of experience as a medical assistant, so I’m CPR-certified and have strong medical knowledge. I’ve been babysitting for about three years and have worked with kids of all ages. I’m happy to help with homework, school projects, or extracurricular activities. I love being outdoors and doing creative projects like arts and crafts. My schedule is very flexible, and I have a car for any transportation needs. I’d be glad to provide additional information or references — I look forward to meeting you and your family!
Hi! My name is Jhennifer, I’m Brazilian, and I'm currently living in San Francisco, California. I am offering child care services. I have more than 12 years of experience caring for children of different ages, from babies to teenagers. In Brazil, I worked at a preschool as an assistant teacher and cared for several children across different age groups. Currently, in San Francisco, I work as a caregiver for an 8-month-old baby and his siblings (4 and 5 years old), handling routines like feeding, baths, bedtime, and engaging activities. I’m responsible, patient, and truly enjoy creating fun, age-and-development-appropriate activities. I also love cooking and keeping kids safe and entertained. I speak Portuguese natively and am currently improving my English. I am excited to help local families who need a reliable and experienced babysitter!
Hello! I’m Lucy and I am offering childcare and pet care. I studied Elementary Education at Boston College and am currently a lower school teacher at Hamlin in Pacific Heights. I have been working with kids since I started babysitting in high school and have been teaching for 6 years. Most of my time teaching and babysitting has been with children ages 4-12 but I am open to all ages. In the past my responsibilities have included helping with homework, cooking, doing bedtime routines and going on adventures together around the city! As for pet care, I love animals! In the past my responsibilities have included feeding, bringing to dog parks and bringing for walks.
Hi! I'm Rachael. I'm 27 and live in the Marina. I found my passion for working with kids when I was 13 years old and became a mothers helper. From there, I've worked at different schools, internships at speech clinics, and eventually earned my Master's in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). I've also worked for several ABA clinics supporting children with disabilities, and I'm very comfortable with positive behavior strategies. I am experienced working with newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. What matters most to me is connecting with your child, using positive reinforcement (like praise, attention, and play), and creating a comfortable, safe space for them. When I'm with your child, you can leave and genuinely not worry. I come prepared with high energy and hands-on activities. 99% of the time, they're having so much fun that they forget to check the door :)

"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."
