Booked by 12 families in Sausalito, CA

I’m originally from Colombia and recently moved to San Francisco from Colorado to continue my education while doing what I truly love—supporting families and caring for children. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Education with an emphasis in Physical Education, and over four years of experience working with newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. Before moving to the U.S., I worked as an elementary school teacher, and during the past few years I’ve worked as both an au pair and a nanny, caring for children from 2 months to 16 years old. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I believe every child deserves to feel safe, loved, and encouraged to explore the world around them. I enjoy planning creative activities, crafts, outdoor adventures, reading, and helping children learn through play. Families describe me as warm, caring, patient, organized, responsible, and dependable. I naturally take initiative, keep routines running smoothly, and love creating a calm, positive environment where both children and parents feel supported. Beyond childcare, I’m happy to help with light housekeeping, meal preparation, laundry, organizing, errands, and pet care—whatever helps make your family’s day a little easier.

We hired Itsa for household help. She was very efficient, punctual and was very good at the chores. She helped with laundry, light cleaning, dishes. On the personal front, she is polite and easy to talk to! We plan on continuing to hire her.

Hi there! My name is Claire and I am an incoming sophomore at UCR offering dependable childcare, senior care, pet care, and household services. I am new to this app, however I have plenty of experience working with children. I have a genuine passion for taking care of others, managing a home, and bringing a warm, positive energy into every family I work with! 🤗 I have years of experience working with both children and seniors. I love engaging with toddlers and I have experience with taking care of babies! I’ve taken care of family relatives and I worked at an Elementary School after school program in the past. I assisted kids with their homework, did arts and crafts with them, changed diapers, etc. As an older sister, holding down the house and looking after others comes completely naturally to me! In addition to childcare, I am incredibly comfortable working with seniors. Through my volunteer work at Laguna Honda Hospital, I have experience holding meaningful conversations, and assisting with daily household tasks. I am a massive animal lover! If you have furry family members, I am more than happy to feed and care for them as well. Whether you need a helping hand with your kids, your loved ones, your pets, or your home, I am here to help! P.S. I am new to UrbanSitter but I’ve worked with 10 families so far! I hope I can work with your family next!

Claire was awesome and super sweet with our two year old! She had great vibes and endless energy, keeping him entertained all day. She was also totally unphased by him struggling with his afternoon nap - staying calm and patient to try and get him down and just rolling with it when he ultimately refused to go down. Will definitely have her back in the future!

Hi! I’m Karina. I went to college at UC San Diego and since graduating in 2013 I’ve worked in both preschool and elementary schools. I was a Behavioral Health/Case Manager at two SFUSD elementary schools. Before that, I spent many years as the after school Program Manager at an SFUSD elementary school. I have been babysitting since I was a teen and genuinely enjoy being with kids. Some of my favorite activities with children include arts & crafts, playing board games, imaginative play and reading. In my spare time I enjoy yoga, dancing and taking long walks. I’m interested in occasional babysitting opportunities. Thanks!

Hello, I'm Mallu! I have +9 years of childcare experience, having cared for kids aged 2 months to 14 years. My expertise covers childcare, household management, and pet care. Over the past years, I've worked as a full-time caregiver for several families in the Bay area. Additionally, I've provided babysitting services to many families with children of different ages. During my educational journey, I also took child development classes, which added an extra layer of understanding to my practical experience. I'm genuinely enthusiastic about helping children grow, achieve milestones, and develop important skills. Whether it's organizing outdoor activities or engaging in indoor play, I take joy in providing engaging experiences for children of all ages. Beyond childcare, I like cooking, staying active through exercise, and immersing myself in good reads. If you're seeking an extra hand to make things easier, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Thank you for considering me. Mallu

Mallu was absolutely wonderful. Our ~2 year old son took to her very quickly, and we felt lucky to have her help!

Hey I'm Mallory 👋 I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old (that seems wild in this day and age) and I am an aunt to 3 kids ages 1, 3 & 7 with one on the way. I love children and have experience with all ages. I was a nanny throughout college and babysat for date nights and other events throughout my career. I have a 15 year career as a head of sales in the consumer good space and am on a career break. Some things I love - cooking (will cook with your kids!), nature, going on walks, all the pets, trying new things, dancing, hiking and all water activities.

Mallory was great with our 19 month old. She got right down on his level and read him a book while we left the house - no tears! He ate second helpings of dinner and was asleep when we got home. Great experience, would love to have Mallory back.
