I studied Engineering at San José State University and have several years of experience working with children. I worked as an after-school STEM Educator in the Santa Clara School District at an elementary school, where I taught kids basic engineering concepts through hands-on activities, building projects, and problem-solving exercises. I enjoyed making learning fun while helping students develop creativity, teamwork, and confidence. I also worked as a YMCA instructor, teaching children basketball and soccer. I’m patient, responsible, energetic, and enjoy creating a safe and positive environment where kids can learn and have fun.
Hi families, I’m Olivia! Here’s a little about me: • Education: Graduated from the University of Oregon last year with a major in Advertising and a minor in Psychology (Go Ducks!!). •Relocation: I am moving from a small town (Hood River, Oregon) to San Francisco on September 11 and am looking for caregiving work in the Bay Area. • Daycare experience: Worked in a daycare for a couple of years, supporting children of various ages. • Big sister role: Helped raise my younger sister who is 12 years younger than me, from bottles and homework to activities and routines. • Babysitting and dog sitting: Years of experience caring for kids and pets. I also lived with two golden retrievers who taught me patience and responsibility. • Strengths: Reliable, caring, organized, fun-loving, and calm under pressure. • What I love: Creating safe, engaging environments where kids feel happy, supported, and encouraged to be themselves. • New here: This is my first time on UrbanSitter, but I bring a strong background and a genuine passion for caregiving.
Hello, I’m Rosie. I’m CPR-certified and provide reliable, thoughtful care for the people you love. I’ve taken Early Childhood Development courses, which allowed me to work as a teacher’s assistant and gain gain hands-on experience supporting children in structured, nurturing environments. I’ve also spent years caring for younger family members and supporting my sister, who is on the autism spectrum. These experiences have taught me patience, flexibility, and the importance of meeting people where they are. I’m attentive, dependable, and enjoy supporting children with routines, learning, and play. I also offer senior care, pet care, and light household help, and I take pride in being someone families can trust and feel comfortable relying on.
I recently graduated from CU Boulder with a degree in Business Marketing and moved to San Francisco. I'm excited to meet families in the area who could use some extra help with childcare, pets, or around the house. I'm a very organized and hands-on person — I love staying busy, planning fun activities and keeping things running smoothly. I enjoy cooking, baking, crafts and anything creative! I'm also always happy to help with light chores or meal prep if needed. Childcare Experience: - Worked at a local country club’s childcare center from July 2019–March 2020, and again the following summer. I cared for kids from 3 months to 12 years old, planned games and crafts, and got to know many families well. - Babysat regularly throughout high school for children ages 6 months to 13 years, gaining experience with a wide range of ages, routines, and personalities. - Since graduating, I’ve worked with several families caring for infants (around 4 months to 1 year), which has given me even more hands-on experience with feeding, naps, and early development. - Comfortable helping with homework (especially math) and school projects. - Happy to drive kids to activities or school if needed. Pet Care: - I’m an animal lover and have experience pet sitting with both dogs and cats. I’m happy to feed, walk, or just hang out and give them some extra love and attention! If you’re looking for someone responsible, organized, and great with kids and pets, I’d love to chat! I’m happy to help as a regular babysitter, occasional sitter, or even assist with house sitting and other household needs.
“Emma was great! Punctual, very sweet with our son, and super responsive. Will definitely book again!”
I'm an enthusiastic, experienced caregiver who loves to play games / go outside with the children, as well as help them with arts and crafts, homework or any other academic or creative endeavors! I consistently babysat for 4 different families in Marin from 2[removed], only stopping because I got a full time job on the east coast in 2019 after graduating from Boston University. I regularly babysat for the Zirkle family, who had two children (aged 6 and 8), the Violet family who had 3 children (4, 7 and 10), the Smith family who had twins (3), and the Wilson family with one son (3). I also helped with two infants for two months (4-6 months old). For all of these families I would cook meals, read stories and play games, assist with homework, change diapers, and manage all aspects of a dinner / feeding and nighttime routine. I also cared for all pets owned by the families (both dogs and cats), walking them and feeding them as well. I am also comfortable assisting with late night and overnight stays!
“Isabella was a very sweet sitter! Our children were both napping most of the time but upon arrival she made quick friends with our daughter who is normally shy around sitters. Isabella was also very attentive to our 6 month old son and gave him his bottle and played with him. She also helped us with some light household chores. She did a terrific job and we look forward to working with her again! ”

"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."
