Hi! My name is Toyosi. I was born and raised in Chicago and moved to San Francisco last year for medical school. I graduated from Princeton University in 2021, and I currently attend UCSF School of Medicine. I have always loved working with children, and I have been babysitting since high school. I am also interested in pursuing pediatrics after medical school. Outside of school (and babysitting), I enjoy reading, watching and playing soccer, practicing yoga, and taking long walks along the beautiful streets of San Francisco. All in all, I am a very genuine, kind, and thoughtful individual, and I always strive to provide my very best in my work and care for others. I hope to work with you soon!
“Toyosi is a delight! Reliable and my boys loved her. ”
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.”
Hi! My name is Savannah. I recently graduated with a degree in Biochemistry and am currently working while preparing my applications for medical school. I've been caring for children since I was 15 and have experience with all ages from newborns to 15 years old. I've worked with large families (up to five children at once), twins and multiples, and I also have experience as a night nanny. Supporting children with special needs is especially close to my heart, my younger brother, who is 15 years younger than me, is on the autism spectrum, and that's shaped both my understanding and my approach as a caregiver. I'm CPR and EMT certified, and I'm happy to help with everything from date nights and tutoring to outdoor activities and daily routines. I genuinely love working with kids and creating a safe, supportive, and engaging environment for them to thrive in.
“Savannah was great with our 4-year old. Punctual and great communication. I look forward to her sitting for us again soon!”
Hi! - My name is Joy, I work as a barista so my schedule is pretty flexible and love working with kids! I spend a lot of my free time reading, baking and doing many different arts and crafts! I have been working with children for the last 10 years and have experience watching infants, toddlers and school age kids. I have done school pick-ups, naps, bedtimes and bath time, taken kids to extra curricular activities, worked events with groups of kids and spent time as a program director for middle school and high school students. I love to get creative with craft times while using imagination and am great with time management and details. I am a highly responsible person whose top priority while working is taking care of your child. Communication is super important to me, I am super punctual and am happy to work with you on what’s best for your family and your child.
Hi! My name is Kerry, and I have over 15 years of childcare experience. I’m an energetic & caring 30 year old San Francisco native & have worked in a variety of childcare roles with all ages including babysitter, nanny, and a Montessori assistant. I am currently an education major. I am passionate about kids & do my best to provide my undivided attention to ensure fun, safe, and stimulating interactions. Some of my favorite babysitting activities are playing outside, reading, art, and being silly with our imaginations. Please reach out for more information or to set up a meet! I look forward to hearing from you!
“I highly recommend Kerry. She was communicative before arriving, asked great questions, and my kids felt comfortable with her immediately. It gave me extra peace of mind knowing she has professional experience working with children at schools.”

"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."
