Hello families, My name is Celia I am 22 years old and I have a valid driver’s license. I am a caring, responsible, and energetic person with experience looking after children from 2 to 15 years old. Over the years, I have helped children with their daily routines, school drop-offs and pick-ups, homework, meal preparation, bedtime routines, and a variety of fun and educational activities. Thanks to my experience with different age groups, I am able to adapt to each child’s personality, needs, and interests. I enjoy organizing creative activities, playing games, spending time outdoors, reading stories, and encouraging children to learn and grow in a positive environment. I believe that patience, kindness, and good communication are essential when caring for children. Families describe me as reliable, mature, organized, and trustworthy. My goal is always to create a safe, happy, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. I look forward to becoming a positive part of a family’s daily life and building meaningful connections with both parents and children.
Hi! My name is Joshua, and I have over 7 years of experience working in youth development at the YMCA and SFUSD, where I’ve had the opportunity to support and mentor children of all ages. I hold an Associate’s Degree in Social and Behavioral Science, which has given me a strong understanding of child development, empowering youth voice through effective communication and building confidence. Whether we’re exploring outdoors, playing games, working on homework, or getting creative, I love helping youth grow into themselves and supporting their interests! I look forward to helping your family and providing dependable, attentive care for your little ones!
Hello! My name is Tess and I'm currently studying for my BSc at the University of British Columbia. I'm originally from San Francisco and I will be here for the summer. I have babysat for a number of families throughout the city ranging from ages 3-7 and siblings too! I also have experience with pets and basic house cleaning. Professionally I have worked as a camp counselor and workshop facilitator for older kids 8-12 so I love working with all ages. I'm looking more for occasional jobs but I'm also very flexible so I can work with last-minute scheduling and I don't mind when the night runs later than expected! I look forward to getting to know your family!
“Tesla is a fantastic, reliable sitter whom we've hired several times over the past couple years, and we hope to continue working with her. She has a calm, gentle demeanor, and has an authentic connection with my 4-year-old, who always looks forward to their time together. Tesla has a unique ability to connect with children in a way that feels very genuine. She is mature, smart, and has excellent communication. Highly recommended for any family looking for a trustworthy and engaging caregiver!”
Hi! My name is Gabriela, and I’ve been working with children for over 9 years. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids. I currently care for twin boys whom I’ve been with since they were 7 months old, and it’s been incredibly rewarding to watch them grow and reach new milestones. As a mom myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your children. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment where children feel happy, supported, and encouraged to learn. I enjoy reading books, arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, educational activities, and helping with homework. I’m patient, dependable, organized, and committed to following each family’s routines and parenting style. I’m also happy to prepare healthy meals and snacks, help with children’s laundry, keep play areas tidy, and assist with light household tasks related to the children. My goal is to give parents peace of mind by providing dependable, loving, and attentive care. I look forward to building lasting relationships with families and helping children learn, grow, and have fun every day.
Hi everyone! I’m 25-years-old and looking for some occasional or part-time babysitting/nannying work. My legal first name is Brittany but I go by my middle name, Aryn. This past year I worked as an elementary school garden teacher in San Francisco as part of a year long AmeriCorps program! I taught students TK through 5th grade all things plants, nature, vegetables, as well as social emotional learning in a beautiful school garden :) I’m passionate about regenerative agriculture, urban food systems, and outdoor education, among many other things. I live in San Francisco now and went to UC Berkeley for undergrad. Prior to working as a teacher I was a full-time nanny for various kids ages 10 months all that way up to 11-years-old in New Orleans. I’ve been working with kids since on and off since I was 15-years-old so have lots of experience. I was a camp counselor for years so I know lots of games and fun activities. I have experience changing diapers, putting kids down for naps, cooking and preparing meals/ lunches, helping around the house, bedtime/bath time, creative play, and have been known for helping facilitate creativity (I love arts and crafts!). I have babysat kids as young as 3 months old. I also have a car so am able to pickup/ drive kids when needed. I would be happy to chat in person and/or provide references!! Looking forward to chatting!
“Aryn has watched our 2 year old son several times and we would highly recommend her. She’s the perfect balance of taking initiative and direction. She’s thoughtful and fun and our son loves time with her!”

"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."
