Hi! My name is Makayla, I was born and raised in San Francisco. I’m 25 years old and started watching my cousins, from infants to teenagers, when I was around 12 years old. I started sitting at 16 and throughout the years I’ve cared for children ranging from 4 months through 11+ years old. Playing with and watching children has always come naturally to me. I enjoy doing activities that they are interested in and always make sure they're enjoying our time together :) In addition, I have experience with children with special needs and have had training with ABA on working with children with moderate autism. References outside of urban sitter are available that you are more than welcome to speak with. I am a public health educator and doula. I played sports all my life and love to interact with kids through physical activities. I also enjoy arts and crafts and fun science experiments! As for pets, I’ve had family dogs all my life and taken care of dogs and cats. Two pets is the most I’ve sitted at one time.
“Makayla was great! Communicative, prompt, easily started playing with our 11-month-old, kept us posted with appropriate updates, and made us feel very comfortable knowing our daughter was in good hands. We're very grateful for her help.”
My name is Nicole and I would love to assist you and your family! I have my Bachelors degree from San Francisco State as well as my teaching credential and Masters in Education from Notre Dame de Namur University. I am a full-time middle school teacher in the Peninsula. I work closely with children from 5th - 8th grade. In my other past experience working with kids, my duties included preparing snack time and activities such as arts and crafts, science, and music. I also love to spend time outdoors and play games with younger children! I have a handful of nieces and nephews, so I am very comfortable with looking after the younger ones. I am currently in the middle of my school year so I am not available for regular positions, but would love to babysit for you during occasional weeknights or weekends. Thank you so much! And I hope to hear from you soon.
