Hi - my name is Emma. I have a full time job as a paralegal in San Francisco but am looking to work part time to fill my free time. I am available for child care, senior care, pet sitting or general household help. Child care experience: I grew up babysitting my three younger siblings and four younger cousins. I have also tutored on and off for years, mostly general homework help for middle/high school students. Senior care experience: I spent a lot of time helping to take care of my grandpa before he passed away. Pet care experience: I have three cats at home, including one with a disability (cerebellar hypoplasia), who I love taking care of. I have also had dogs/fish in the past.
I worked with Rec & Park and ran afterschool programs throughout high school and college. I worked with children for many years as well as taking college courses on child education. I am very flexible and always want to ensure I am consistent and considerate with the care parents seek for their children.
Hi, my name is Mayra, and I am a 25-year-old bilingual (Spanish and English) speaker with a passion for working with children. I do have experience working as a CNA and a Medical Assistant. I also have about 6 years of experience with working with children of many ages. Starting from infant care to grade school. I have work with about 5-6 families that have multiple children and have been caring for. I’ve also been a summer counselor assistant. I am CPR certified and have basic first aid knowledge, ensuring I can handle any emergency situations that might arise while babysitting. As a reliable driver, I can also help with transportation needs. I have experience caring for children of various ages, providing a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. With my commitment to safety, I am excited to offer my services as a trusted babysitter. While I may not have ratings on here, I usually get my jobs through word of mouth. I hoe you can consider me working with you and your family. Thank you!
Hello Families ! My name is Erika. I am from San Francisco and have lived in the bay area my entire life. I have experience caring for children of all ages and I am currently a nanny for a wonderful family with 3 children, ages 7, 4, and 2.

Hi, my name is Charlotte! I graduated from Lick-Wilmerding High School in 2025 and have since completed my freshman year at Tufts University. I’m taking a year off from college and will be home in San Francisco for the year, and I’m looking for both ad hoc and part-time work. I’m offering child care, pet care, and light household services. I absolutely love working with kids and have 5 years of experience at local summer camps with kids ages 4-12. My responsibilities within these programs have primarily included planning and leading activities, games, and arts-and-crafts projects. I also have extensive experience volunteering with young people who have physical and/or developmental disabilities. I have some experience tutoring elementary school and high school students, so I’d be happy to help with homework if helpful. I love to cook and bake, do creative projects, play soccer, dance, and spend time outdoors. I am Red Cross certified in emergency response, as well as adult and pediatric first aid/CPR/AED. I also love animals! I have the most experience with dogs and cats (i.e., walking, feeding, playing with), but I would be happy to care for any kind of pet. I’m happy to cook, clean, and do other light household chores.

"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."
