Hi! My name is Santana. I look forward to meeting you. I love kids :) I was a special education teacher for seven years, with teaching experience in most grade levels. I have a masters in social work and now do direct service work with youth and parents. I also love little ones! I have a nephew who is one year old and I love spending time with him. I can also help with dogs! I have a small dog myself :)
Nice to meet you, I am Rilee! I have a strong passion for working with children of all ages. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Child Development and a Master’s degree in Education, which have given me both the knowledge and hands-on skills to support children’s growth, learning, and well-being. After graduating from college, I worked as a full-time nanny for three years with one wonderful family, where I built a strong, lasting relationship and gained valuable experience in daily care, routines, and developmental support. I then transitioned into teaching where I have been the last seven years in elementary, and currently I teach 3rd grade. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and safety is always my top priority. I am reliable, patient, and love creating fun, enriching experiences. I will be available for babysitting starting June 15 when my summer officially kicks off.
Hi, I’m Mae. I’m 27 years old and a reliable, attentive caregiver with professional experience working one-on-one with children and older adults. I work in behavioral healthcare and bring a calm, patient, and safety-focused approach to caregiving. I’m certified in Infant and Adult CPR and First Aid. My background includes caregiving in nursing home settings and individualized support roles that required strong communication, consistency, and emotional awareness. I’m comfortable with infant care, routines, light housekeeping, and supporting household needs. Families appreciate that I’m dependable, respectful of routines, and genuinely present with the people I care for. I’d love to support your family.
Hi, my name is Alex. I grew up in San Francisco and as a teenager would frequently babysit for younger children (6-8 years old) down the street or in the neighborhood. I enjoyed playing with younger kids (ages 1-4) of family friends at gatherings. I currently work at an after school program at an elementary school. I interact mostly with parents but enjoy listening to the students when time allows. I am calm, friendly, and crafty. I enjoy reading, knitting (currently working on a sweater!), and learning new things. I enjoy a lot of activities, such as board games on a rainy day, or going to the park so kids can get out that endless amount of energy.

"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."
