Hi SF Families! 🌞🌉✨ New to the app but not to child care! I have references available :) I’m a beach lover, student, nature enthusiast, 25-year-old nanny with over 10 years of experience caring for kids of all ages and abilities. I’m currently studying psychology with a minor in counseling and plan to attend graduate school here in the Bay Area. My long-term goal is to become a Child Life Specialist or Pediatric Psychologist. Supporting kids through their growth isn’t just work for me, it’s truly my calling. I’ve worked closely with autistic children as a nanny, B.C.A, and a para-educator with SFUSD, and I deeply value meeting each child exactly where they are. 💐🤱🏼 My background in psychology, love of neuroscience, training in Waldorf education and yoga training, all shape the way I show up: grounded, playful, attuned, and developmentally aware. I focus a lot on emotional regulation, connection, creativity, and building confidence. 🧠🍎🎨💟 I’ve cared for everything from a bustling household of six kids to providing steady overnight support for a nurse mom working long shifts. I’m adaptable and calm under pressure, and I genuinely enjoy the rhythm of busy family life. I’ve also worked private events, helping create safe and fun spaces for little ones while parents can relax or focus! 🗓️🧺🌺 Before fully diving into childcare, I worked for a catering company, music venue, and restaurants, so I’m very comfortable with meal prep, packing lunches, prepping healthy snacks, and helping families stay organized around food and daily tasks like laundry or organizing. 👩🍳🍳 I’m also comfortable with basic medication administration and toileting support. ⛑️🚽🙈 I love taking kids outside — beach days, park hangs, nature walks, or city adventures. Fresh air and movement are big in my care style. I incorporate music, storytelling, and creative play often. 🚶♀️🌈🦋🌻🎼 I also speak ASL and light Spanish. 🤘🇪🇸 I am certified in CPR as well. 🏥🩺 If you’re looking for someone warm, intuitive, outdoorsy, and deeply invested in your child’s well-being, I’d love to connect. 🤍 open to setting up zoom meetings or interviews any time. Thank you!
“Sierra arrived 10 minutes early, took my kids to play outside and kept them safe on a city excursion to the local hardware store. The kids were already asking if she’d come back. Highly recommended! ”
Hello! My name is Chloe. I just graduated from Lewis and Clark College, and am so excited to be in San Francisco! I am currently pursuing a career in children’s book illustration. I offer child care. I love being a babysitter and have been babysitting since the age of age 16. I work with a variety of age groups at summer camps, summer school, and babysitting. My specialities include arts & crafts, music, and reading/writing tutoring. I also have experience taking care of cats and dogs. Can’t wait to meet you!
“Chloe is the ultimate babysitter! My 3 year old absolutely adores her. She has an incredible imagination and talent for connecting with kids. The laughter was infectious in our house. She is also extremely considerate with family rules and is proactive with any and all guidelines set forth. Highly recommend!!!”
I have over 10 years of experience as a caregiver with family related kids, daycare and volunteer work. 3 years of experience in the USA with kids from 0-12 yo, babysitting, long-term and short-term nannying. Love to read, sports, doing puzzles and playing with kids.
Hi, I’m Quinlan and I have been enjoying babysitting for over 6 years. I moved to California from Chicago after college to pursue a career in outdoor education. Through my experience in childcare, I have worked with children of all ages including infants, and children with developmental and/or physical disabilities. In my free time, you might find me hiking, doing yoga, eating ice cream, or volunteering at the Marine Mammal Center. I am always excited to help out parents and get to know kids even if it means just for a night, morning, or even homework help! I am fully vaccinated and have a reliable car.
“Quinlan is such a rare gem! We are so grateful to have met her. She is able to connect and attune with our toddler in ways others can only dream of. We love how much our toddler has fun and engages with Quinlan and that’s because of the type of care and energy she brings to caregiving. ”

"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."
