I’m a dependable and compassionate nanny with several years of experience caring for children of all ages, including those with special needs. I’ve completed Human Growth and Development and Teaching coursework, which helps me understand children’s emotional and developmental stages. I’m patient, creative, and love keeping kids engaged through play, learning, and routine. I’m also comfortable with pets, light housekeeping, and school pickups. Families describe me as reliable, calm under pressure, and easy to communicate with.
Hi! My name is Bella and I am a first grade teacher in Pacific Heights. I offer babysitting, tutoring, and pet sitting. I love working with and caring for children of all ages! I started babysitting and nannying in 2015 and have lots of experience with infants, toddlers, and young children. My responsibilities while babysitting have included driving children to and from school and activities, preparing easy meals, helping children with homework and reading, tidying up, and planning fun activities. I am CPR and epinephrine-injection certified, and hold a bachelor’s degree in elementary education and special education. I also earned dual-teaching licenses from Regis University in Denver, CO. I have done both full-time and part-time nannying, and I’m currently available anytime after 4 pm Monday-Friday and all day/night on weekends. I am looking for something part-time (1-3 shifts per week). Unfortunately, I do not have a car, and would prefer to not have to drive. Please let me know if you’re interested if you have any questions about me! Thanks so much! 😊
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 currently work in the social services department where I work closely with adults and their children. I can support children with homework, reading, and arts & crafts activities. I am excited to meet your family!
I've been babysitting since I was 15, with kids from newborns to 12-year-olds. From 2021 to 2024, I worked as a sitter with KiddieCorps, a professional childcare service in San Francisco. I also ran an after-school program through City Year AmeriCorps for a class of 1st and 2nd graders and have tutored 4th graders, so I'm happy to do anything from homework help to hands-on projects. I love being crafty and playing outside, whether that's making something together or burning off energy at the park. I'm energetic, fun, and dependable, and parents can count on me to keep things safe and on routine! During the day I work at a health and human services agency. I'm available after school and on weekends.
Hi!- I’m a college student studying social work and I have previous child experience with all ages, from those younger than one year old, up to teenage years; but I’m most familiar with toddlers. I’m currently looking for extra hours at the end of the week or the weekend. I’m one of the oldest cousins in my family, so that role automatically comes with babysitting responsibilities. I’m skilled in meal prep, activity planning, diaper changes, and I have my own car. I love watching kids learn and seeing where their curiosity leads them. I also have pet care and house sitting experience. I’m comfortable with any animal from dogs or cats, to amphibians and reptiles. I’m also able to cook and clean if needed.

"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."
Laura F., mom of two
