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.
Hi! I’m Nahomi, a San Francisco native, I’ve been babysitting since I was 16 and truly love spending time with kids. With my background in psychology and experience working with youth, I understand how important it is to create a safe, patient, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I enjoy planning fun, engaging activities — whether that’s arts and crafts, games, outdoor play, reading stories, or creative projects that keep little ones excited and involved. I also specialize in evening and nighttime routines, helping with dinner, bath time, homework, and smooth bedtimes so parents can confidently enjoy a well-deserved break. I’m reliable, warm, and attentive, and I treat every child with care and respect. I look forward to supporting your family!
My name is Lilian, I have experience in the Bay Area working as a babysitter, and house cleaner. I am a responsible, organized, and dedicated person, with a natural ability to care for children and support family routines. I am committed to providing a safe, welcoming, and trustworthy environment. I am also attentive to each child’s unique needs and work closely with parents to ensure consistency and trust. Reliable, responsible, and caring, I am committed to providing high-quality childcare and becoming a supportive part of your family’s daily life.
Hi, I'm Cat! I work in after-school child care and I am highly energetic and passionate about working with kids. When working with children, I am great at having a balance between discipline and being gentle and kind. I lead with empathy and strive to understand what your child is feeling instead of reacting. I believe that everyone deserves to express their feelings even though they may not know how to express them. I love playing games, planning activities, and keeping kids engaged and off their screens! I am also a great cook and love to make healthy snacks or meals that children will enjoy. Having my own younger siblings makes me a great candidate to take care of others because I always think about how I would want my own family to be treated. I will always treat others with care and respect.

"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
