Hi! My name is Jamie, and I am a 5th-year clinical psychology doctoral student. I love working with kids and can provide tutoring, babysitting, pet sitting, and help with household tasks! I am available on weekday evenings and weekends. I have experience babysitting and tutoring elementary through middle school-aged students over the past 8 years. I have worked at several educational summer camps, a summer school, and a program that taught social-emotional skills to elementary-aged students. I also have experience providing one-on-one tutoring and babysitting for kids ages 4-13. I can provide tutoring for homework help or for educational enrichment. I also have experience teaching executive functioning strategies for organizing, prioritizing, and scheduling tasks, improving attention span, and managing distractibility. I love connecting with kids and finding creative ways to make learning fun and engaging. I enjoy helping kids explore their passions and express their creativity. I love creative writing, storytelling, playing sports and outdoor games, enjoying nature, and being silly with children. Additionally, through my graduate training, I have learned to be very reliable and organized and to communicate effectively. Please reach out if you are interested in tutoring or babysitting for your children!
“Jamie was on time, thorough with the job, and communicative, leaving the condo spotless. I would highly recommend her service.”
I’m a credentialed middle school science teacher in San Francisco with 4+ years of classroom experience. I’m calm, reliable, and enjoy creating a safe, engaging environment for kids of all ages. I’ve also spent a lot of time caring for my young nephews and supporting family members through end-of-life care, which has deepened my patience and attentiveness. I have a near-perfect driving record and am happy to help with school pickup, homework, and outdoor activities.
“Asia has been a wonderful family member and occasional caregiver to my elementary age oldest kid. She also can take on the two younger ones, who are twins of preschool age. She was so sweet and helpful with them when they were infants and is great with kids at the toddler age as well. Asia is organized and good at rolling with kids’ curiosity and playfulness. She is also a thorough communicator and a great partner in babysitting. If you ask her to pay attention to a certain thing or leave you some information about how the day went, she will go above and beyond. She is great at checking her messages and staying in touch, as well. Highly recommend. Five stars. 😉”

Hi! I’m Alyssa, a 20-year-old college student currently studying Psychology. I’ve babysat for family and friends before, and I work at a daycare school for kids ranging from infants to elementary grades. I’m calm under pressure, dependable, and able to connect with kids pretty easily. I also have experience with tutoring and enjoy cooking, so I’m happy to help with homework and meal prep when needed. I have a very flexible schedule for the summer and would love to help out! Looking forward to connecting!

"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."
