a mother myself, I bring both personal understanding and hands-on experience in caring for children of all ages. I truly enjoy engaging kids in meaningful ways-whether through reading, painting, games, outdoor activities, or simply supporting their daily routines with patience and care. Families describe me as loving, reliable, and attentive. I'm also highly organized, a strong multitasker, and always punctual. Beyond childcare, I'm a dedicated yoga practitioner, naturally caring, and an animal lover. With excellent references available, I am confident in my ability to provide a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment for your children.
“Jessica is INCREDIBLE. She’s a mother herself and so taking care of children is natural, intuitive, and she genuinely loves and cares for kids. She handled the full morning routine for my 3 kids when I was out of town, including driving them to school, and knocked it out of the park. We’ve had her support multiple times since. She is warm and lovely to be around. Jessica is truly a gem!”
Loving, respectful, and highly organized nanny with over 10 years of experience caring for children aged 0 to 10. Known for being clean, flexible, easy going, and deeply committed to each child’s emotional and developmental needs. I learn fast and adapt quickly to different routines, always ready to support families with extra tasks or activities.. Highly experienced, first-aid trained and with excellent references. Fluent in English. Native Spanish speaker
“Maria is a wonderful sitter for our three-month-old baby, whom she has cared for several times. She’s extremely knowledgeable about infants and we have full confidence in her. Great communication and reliability. We would definitely hire her again!”
I am a high-energy extrovert who truly loves creating "backyard adventures" for the little ones I care for! With over 10 years of residency in San Francisco, I am well-versed in the city’s best museums, parks, and extracurricular activities. I have 2 years of experience specifically with infants and toddlers, and I pride myself on bringing a bubbly personality and a constant smile to every playdate. Beyond childcare, I am a trusted pet sitter for cats and dogs, and I am always happy to help with light household tasks. Recently, I spent time supporting a close friend following a medical emergency. She had a stroke during the first month of pregnancy and lost function of her right hand. I was able to provide full-time care for her 5-month-old and managing household chores so she could focus on recovery. I find deep fulfillment in being the person a family can lean on. I look forward to bringing that same dedication, joy, and local expertise to your home!
“Zemaye is very helpful! She was very attentive of my 5 month old child. I would highly recommend her services!”
Hi! My name is Valentina. I’m a Chilean-certified Early Childhood Teacher and Montessori Guide looking for extra babysitting, nannying, light household duties or pet care opportunities during the week and/or on weekends. I have over 5 years of experience working with children, as well as excellent recommendations from families I still keep in touch with today. I recently renewed my CPR certification for both children and adults. I’m very punctual, organized, responsible, and active. I love creating a calm, safe, and engaging environment for children, and I’m also happy to help with light household duties, such as tidying up, meal prep, or organizing things. As a vegan and animal lover, I would also be happy to be considered for pet care roles. Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions
“It has been a pleasure working with Valentina and having her in our home. Not only is she punctual, but our little ones look forward to seeing her. Cannot recommend enough!”

"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."
