Hi! I love caring of kids, and have a knack for keeping them entertained. As a teen I took care of my younger brother, so I’m familiar with taking responsibility for kids of all ages. Although I work full time, I am able to support you and your family in the evenings and over the weekend as needed. I can also play piano with and speak Russian with your children if that’d be of interest.
Hi! I'm Kendall, a nursing student at San Francisco State. I offer childcare, senior care, pet care, and household support in San Francisco. I've been caring for kids for over 10 years, from newborns and infants to teenagers. My experience comes from babysitting and nannying, teaching outdoor education, substitute teaching, summer camps, rock climbing instruction, and youth leadership programs. These days, I'm also training in the hospital as part of nursing school and currently work with newborns, which has deepened my love for supporting families during those early stages of life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. You'll usually find me outside exploring parks, doing arts and crafts, reading stories, building forts, baking, climbing trees, making up games, or helping with homework. I love following children's curiosity and creating opportunities for them to learn, grow, and have fun. I'm happy to help with schoolwork, transportation, meal prep, bedtime routines, and whatever helps make family life run a little smoother. Before nursing school, I worked as a violence prevention educator, substitute teacher, outdoor guide, and volunteer training coordinator. I also have extensive training in communication, crisis response, and creating safe, supportive environments. I am certified in CPR/BLS (Basic Life Support) and Wilderness First Response. I also enjoy working with older adults. I've helped care for family members with severe illness/neurocognitive deficits and have spent much of my professional life supporting people through challenging situations. I love hearing stories, building connections, helping with errands, preparing meals, providing transportation, or simply being good company. I'm comfortable caring for cats and dogs and am happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, medications, and overnight pet care. My start in the Bay Area was exploring via Trusted Housesitters. Around the house, I can help with cooking, dishes, laundry, grocery shopping, organizing, errands, plant care, and general household tasks. I'm tidy, dependable, and the kind of person who notices what needs to get done and jumps in to help. People often describe me as warm, responsible, adventurous, patient, and easy to talk to. Whether your family needs a reliable babysitter, an extra set of hands around the house, support for an older loved one, or someone to care for your pets, I'd love to connect and see if we're a good fit.
I have been a preschool teacher for toddlers for almost 9 years. I have a certificate in infant and toddlers care. I love to take the kids to the closest playground so they can explore in nature and interact with other children. We make lots of art activities and sensory experiences. I help in the process of potty training.
Hi there- my name is Samana. I am currently living in the Marina and am open to evening / weekend babysitting opportunities. I grew up in the South Bay, have two younger siblings and lots of experience with children. In the past, have lived with families to help with kid duties & was a former camp counselor - love board games, puzzles, friendship bracelets, drawing etc. and am happy to help with infant care. I am a swimmer and am comfortable with pool safety. My full-time job is in the medical device space - looking forward to connecting soon!
Hi! My name is Olivia and I am 20 years old. I have lived in San Francisco my entire life and I attended Convent Elementary school and St. Ignatius High School. I currently attend the University of Texas where I study Finance and am on the division 1 rowing team. I am home for the summer and I am looking for some families to help out! During Covid 19, I took on a large mothers helper role for 4 girls (aged 1,3,5,7) and absolutely loved it. I love kids and am a fun, energetic, warm, and very type A/responsible person. Also, I have played almost ever sport, so I love throwing the baseball or kicking the soccer ball with young kids. I had a small baking business when I was in middle school so I still love to bake and cook if that is helpful in anyway. I have been babysitting all ages of kids on and off ever since I was 13 years old and have built many strong and trustworthy relationships with families that I have helped. I have had Golden Retrievers my whole life, so I am also great with dogs. I also have had my drivers license for 4 years and have taken a CPR certification course. Overall, I always have a great time when I babysit, and I would love the opportunity to babysit more families!

"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."
