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.
I'm a retired RN with over 40 years experience in Maternal-Child nursing including Labor and Delivery and Postpartum. I’ve lived in the Outer Richmond district for 28 years - love this corner of our city! I truly enjoy caring for newborns and children of all ages. I appreciate the magic and wonder of childhood and feel privileged to be a part of a child's experience as they learn and grow.
Hi my name is Kathleen, I live in the Outer Richmond but I am from Marin originally, grew up with a big family — one older sister and two younger brothers. I have been babysitting since high school on and off. I am very familiar with the SF Bay Area, attended grammar school in Tiburon and high school at Saint Ignatius College Prep in the Outer Sunset in San Francisco.
Hi there! My name is Leslie, and I'm a warm, reliable sitter with 2-3 years of experience caring for children and pets. My goal is to ensure a safe, fun, and happy environment for everyone in your family. I specialize in caring for school-aged children and pre-teens, focusing on activities that match their energy and interests. I love encouraging creativity with arts and crafts, getting active by playing sports, and fostering imagination through reading books. I'm happy to assist with homework, manage after-school routines, and prepare simple, healthy meals. I am committed to making sure your children feel secure, engaged, and well-cared for while you're away. I have a great fondness for animals and experience caring for a variety of pets, including both big and small dogs, as well as cats. Whether your dog is a tiny terrier or a large lab, or your cat needs quiet cuddle time, I provide attentive care that meets their specific needs. This includes walks, playtime, feeding, and making sure they get plenty of affection. I'm comfortable with animals that shed and will always treat your pets with the love and respect they deserve! I look forward to meeting your family and discussing how I can provide the best support for your home!

"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
