I’ve been working with children since I was 13 and have experience in a wide range of childcare roles, including part-time babysitter, full-time nanny, daycare assistant, and camp counselor. I’m also an aunt to four amazing kids, which has deepened my love for caring for children of all ages. I consider myself caring, fun-loving, and dependable, and I value creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for kids. I currently work part-time virtually as a therapist and hold a Master’s degree in Social Work. Along with my professional background, I’m drawn to babysitting as a way to connect with others and provide meaningful, in-person care. I take pride in being someone families can trust and children enjoy spending time with.
“Kayla watched my 4-year-old, Jameson, regularly, and I am being 100% serious when I say this woman saved our marriage, our sanity, and possibly society at large. The moment she entered our lives, our household went from complete chaos to running smoothly. She is preternaturally patient, unfailingly reliable, and somehow both calm and magical with kids. Like how is that possible? Jameson was obsessed with her. She truly feels like part of our family. I would recommend Kayla to anyone with a pulse. If you can book her, do it immediately.”
Hello! My name is Gabby, I’m 27 years old, and I am a paraprofessional for SFUSD (San Francisco Unified School District). I have been a paraprofessional for about a year now working in ESN (Extensive Support Needs) classrooms, and before that I was a substitute teacher in every grade level for 6 months. In my ESN paraprofessional role I aid in feeding, daily tasks, diaper/toileting support (ages infant - adult). I enjoy caring for individuals of all ages and needs!
Hi! My name is Pamela, and I am currently a student at City College of San Francisco (CCSF) studying Child Development. I am a friendly, bubbly, and caring person who loves working with children, helping families, and creating positive experiences for those around me. I have hands-on experience working with children as a Teacher Aide at a preschool, where I assist with classroom activities, supervise children, support their social and emotional development, and help create a safe, fun, and engaging learning environment. I also have volunteer experience working with children through summer programs, organizing activities such as arts and crafts, cooking projects, games, outdoor adventures, and field trips. Watching children learn, grow, and have fun is something I truly enjoy. In addition to my childcare experience, I have over five years of customer service experience, which has helped me develop strong communication skills, patience, reliability, and the ability to adapt quickly to different situations. I am comfortable interacting with people of all ages and pride myself on being dependable, organized, and trustworthy. I am available to provide childcare services, including babysitting, homework help, playtime activities, meal preparation, bedtime routines, and creating a safe and nurturing environment for children. I understand that every child is unique, and I strive to meet each family's individual needs. I also offer pet care services. As a cat owner myself, I understand the importance of ensuring pets feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while their families are away. Whether it's feeding, playtime, companionship, cleaning litter boxes, walks, or general pet care, I am happy to help keep your furry family members happy and safe. In addition, I provide household services to help busy families manage their daily routines. These services can include light housekeeping, tidying up play areas, organizing, laundry, meal preparation, washing dishes, running errands, and helping maintain a clean and comfortable home environment. My goal is to provide families with peace of mind by being a reliable, caring, and responsible helping hand. Whether you need childcare, pet care, or household assistance, I am committed to creating a positive experience and supporting your family's needs. I look forward to connecting with you and helping however I can!
Hi families! For over 5 years, I have experience taking care of children of all ages. My love and dedication for children led me to do social work in the interior of São Paulo in indigenous villages and orphanages, where I had the opportunity to care for and interact with children of different ages and cultures. I have references from some mothers and fathers who have entrusted their children to me, and I can provide their contact details so that you can check my skills and competence as a babysitter. I have a driver's license, first aid and firefighter training, and I can help children with their homework, including in English. Regarding activities with children, I love telling stories that take them to a magical world of their own and develop linguistic and cognitive skills, or playing games that stimulate logical reasoning, memory, cooperation and problem solving. Oh, and I also feel comfortable and love any type of pet. I appreciate your attention and consideration.
I am a private tutor with a background in psychology and counseling. I provide tutoring and homework assistance while caring for your child. More than three years of tutoring experience for K-8. Available early evening on Fridays and occasional on other weekdays. Widely available on Saturdays.
Every babysitter's profile is individually reviewed by UrbanSitter's Trust & Safety team after clearing an annual background check. Rely on reviews from local families to help you find your best fit.

"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."
Laura F., mom of two
