Hi! My name is Giacomo, and I have over 4 years of experience working with children of different ages, from 1 year old through school age. I’m responsible, patient, caring, reliable, and energetic. I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and fun environment where children can feel comfortable and have a great time. I also have international childcare experience, including working as an au pair in Australia. I offer babysitting and nanny services focused on providing attentive and personalized care based on each child’s age, personality, and needs. I enjoy spending quality time with children through play, creative activities, reading, outdoor activities, games, and other age-appropriate experiences. I’m also comfortable helping with meals, daily routines, homework, and keeping children engaged and entertained. Over the past 4 years, I’ve developed strong skills in communication, patience, responsibility, and adapting to different family routines. I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust and feel comfortable leaving their children with. I speak English and Italian, and I’m happy to communicate openly with parents and follow their preferences and routines. My goal is to provide reliable, caring, and enjoyable childcare while making sure every child feels safe, supported, and comfortable.
Hi, my name is Tyler, and I was born and raised in Burlingame and recently moved to San Francisco! I recently graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder and moved back home to start my career. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m excited to offer childcare, senior care, pet care, and household services to local families. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14, caring for infants, toddlers, and kids of all ages. My responsibilities have included driving to activities, organizing crafts, lifeguarding, tutoring, and more. In addition to childcare, I’m experienced as a household assistant and can help with cooking, organizing, running errands, and managing household tasks. I’ve also cared for my own grandparents, so I’m comfortable providing senior care, whether it’s cooking meals, driving to appointments, assisting with daily tasks, or simply offering companionship. I pride myself on being responsible, trustworthy, and great with kids—always ensuring their safety while making sure they have fun. I look forward to supporting your family!
Hi, my name is Lauren and I'm a 24 year old Bay Area native. I grew up in San Mateo and went to SI in the Sunset for high school! I graduated from Northeastern University in 2024, and have been working in tech since. In my free time, I’m super passionate about health and wellness, fitness, and cooking. I am offering child care and household services and have a flexible schedule right now during the week through the end of September. I’m an energetic, responsible, respectful, kind and caring person and have a background volunteering with children and adults with disabilities. I also have lots of experience looking after friends and families, and was a babysitter in college. More than happy to cook, clean, and run errands. As an older sister, these things come naturally to me! I have booked with five families on UrbanSitter in the past, and am looking to babysit again, tutor, or help around the house. Happy to provide a reference.
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.
