Hello! My name is Shaden. I’m 29 years old, a Culinary Arts student, and I speak both Spanish and English. I would describe myself as an honest, responsible, and caring person. I have several years of childcare experience, including over 4 years working with the same family here in San Francisco, plus many years of babysitting experience back in my hometown. I started caring for their youngest when he was just 4 months old, while also helping with his older brother and sister, who were 6 and 8 at the time. Today they are 4, 10, and 12, and it has been such a special experience growing alongside them through every stage. I originally came to San Francisco as an au pair in 2022, and after completing my program, I continued working with the same family as their nanny while studying. In my free time, I’ve also completed many babysitting jobs with local families, building strong connections in the community with 100+ bookings and 50+ positive reviews. I’m comfortable caring for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens, and I love creating a safe, fun, and loving environment. I can help with school drop-offs, activities, homework, meal prep, bath and bedtime routines, outdoor play, and engaging creative activities. I’m warm, responsible, patient, and energetic, and I truly enjoy helping children grow while making parents feel supported and at ease

I highly recommend Shaden! We had a brief call to meet her the night before the booking. She arrived on time (actually a little early and she waited for the extacr time) for a very early morning booking, she was kind and professional. I immediately felt at ease with her, especially since my son was still sleeping. She drove him in her car to his camp and everything went very smoothly. I would definitely hire her again. Thanks Shaden!

*only available for occasional jobs. Hello, my name is Aline and I was born and raised in Brazil. I’m graduated in IT management and worked in tech for 8 years in my home country. I used to volunteer Helping at dominical class at a catholic church helping with 18 kids between 4 and 13 years old. I studied 6 months of psychology including early childhood before moving to the United States in 2018. I had three successful full time contracts since 2018 and just ended because the family didn’t need full time help anymore. Meanwhile I babysat for many families (over 100 according to UrbanSitter reviews) in the bay area from Vacaville to Pacifica and you can find some reviews on my profile. I have experience with kids with age between 8months old to 12years old. From wake up until bed time routine including driving to classes, parks and overnight. When taking care of a kid I’m flexible to adapt to the family’s parental style when it comes to discipline, screen time and activities. I consider myself someone caring, patient, organized, creative, communicative and responsible. I have my own car, clean record, I’m CPR certified. I enjoy my free time going to gym, hiking, traveling, going to restaurants and sleeping. (And sometimes crying over college homework lol) I just got two associates degree at College of Marin and just moved to SLO to finish my BS in business administration.

We were able to book Aline last minute to catch up on work and errands. She was super easy going and our 10 year old loved baking and shopping with her. Thank you and we will book again, for sure!

Hello families! I’m Maria Paula (or Mapy for short), a warm, responsible, and creative caregiver with over 10 years of experience working with kids of all ages—from infants to elementary schoolers. I’m 34 and recently returned to the Bay Area after completing my Master’s in Urban Studies in Europe. While I explore full-time opportunities in my field, I’d love to help local families with part-time or occasional babysitting. My childcare journey started in Colombia, then brought me to the U.S. as an au pair for two years in California. Since then, I’ve spent over a decade caring for little ones, with a special focus on infants, toddlers, and early graders. Whether it’s outdoor adventures (parks, hikes, museums), crafting sessions, or cozy storytimes, I love blending fun with learning. Bonus: I’m a pro at handling multiples and thrive on keeping kids engaged! When I’m not babysitting, you’ll find me reading, experimenting with new recipes, or exploring Bay Area trails—usually with a coffee in hand. I am also an animal lover!

Maria Paula is very friendly, professional and easy to work with! She takes good care of my 2.5 month old baby. :) I will definitely work with her again!

Hey there! I am a nursing student at USF, with a varied schedule week to week. Prior to starting this program, I worked in oncology & public health research, and earned a masters in public health from UC Berkeley. I have enjoyed working with children for years; through child care, school tutoring, and summer camp settings. I have experience caring for children from a wide range of ages (newborns to middle-school age), and caring for multiple children at once. I've spent the most time with 4-5 year old children working at summer camps including Camp Galileo, where I was given the opportunity to educate, lead, learn, and develop my skills with these kids. I was born and raised in San Francisco, so I am able to suggest plans for taking the kids out for the day, often doing some of the same activities and going to the same places I loved as a kid (parks, the SF zoo, the beach, baking, biking, to name a few). I also love hanging out at home with them, playing their own favorite games, cooking, creating art, and reading. I am also CPR-certified.

Maddy got along great with our three year old daughter! Maddy was prompt, friendly, and jumped right into an active day with our daughter, which included a walk to the nearby park. Definitely recommend!
