I’m an experienced educator and caregiver based in San Francisco, bringing an unique blend of teaching, outdoor education, and enrichment-based childcare. I currently work at a private school as an Extended Day Program Teacher and Technology Co-Teacher, where I support students’ social-emotional growth while teaching coding, animation, and digital literacy to elementary-aged children. My background includes working as a Naturalist and Camp Leader, where I led outdoor education programs, facilitated team-building on ropes courses, and designed engaging, hands-on curriculum in science, history, and environmental stewardship. I’ve worked with groups of all sizes—from small cohorts to over 100 students—and am confident managing a wide range of personalities, needs, and energy levels. I specialize in creating structured, play-based experiences that keep kids engaged, curious, and supported. Whether it’s STEM projects, arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, or imaginative play, I tailor activities to each child’s interests and developmental needs. I also speak Mandarin and have experience supporting multilingual learners. With certifications in Wilderness First Aid, CPR, and AED, plus my own reliable vehicle, I prioritize safety, communication, and consistency. I create meaningful, fun, and enriching experiences for every child I work with.
Hi, my name is Tammy! I'm a recent college grad from USC who just finished serving as an AmeriCorps and am currently applying to medical school. I'm looking to pick up some work while figuring out my next steps. I am great with people of all ages and backgrounds (my AmeriCorps role involved clinical care for adults and seniors, but I used to volunteer as a tutor for K-12 kids) and am an easygoing, chill person who is responsible and has Basic Life Support (BLS) training, which includes CPR. I am happy to watch older kids (5+), run household errands and help out with household chores. I'm also happy to catsit. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
I am newly retired and looking to be a family/personal assistant. I love working with children and seniors. Part-time work is ideal. I am happy to assist with errands. I reside in Noe Valley and have access to an auto. Looking forward to being your "go to and in a pickle assistant".
I am from Ukraine and have 15 years of experience working as a nanny in families. I am reliable, punctual, and responsible. I always stay engaged with the children, have fun with them, and make our time together useful. I can cook, keep the work area organized, and follow assignments as needed. I have an easy-going personality 🙂 I would like to work in bilingual families and practice my English.
Hi, my name is Hashi! I am a recent UCLA graduate currently working in youth development in San Francisco. I am looking for part time babysitting jobs. I love babysitting and working with children of all ages. I have worked as an academic counselor for high school students, have worked with kids ages 4-12 as a swim instructor and have also baby sat children of all ages throughout my high school years. I am able to drive children anywhere needed, work on arts and crafts (I have lots of beads and love working with children on making jewelry), and able to tutor in all subjects up to high school level. I can also cook, clean, run errands, and other household help needed. Happy to feed pets or walk dogs as well. Also hope to pet or house sit.

"UrbanSitter has supported my needs for reliable and joyful sitters. Whether it be for work, recreation or last-minute emergencies, we've made wonderful relationships with local sitters who have become a part of our family!"
Natalie O., mom of five

"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
