“We had the pleasure of working with Diana as the nanny for our 2½-year-old daughter, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. Diana is extremely professional, dependable, and always on time. She consistently went above and beyond to support our family in every way possible. Diana cared for our daughter in our home with warmth, patience, and genuine attention. In addition to providing excellent childcare, she helped with light household responsibilities such as folding and organizing laundry, making beds, and keeping our daughter’s space neat and well organized. She also prepared healthy meals for our daughter and made sure her daily routine was followed. Diana regularly picked up our daughter from daycare and took her to the park or library, creating engaging and fun learning experiences. She supported our child’s development through reading, play, and age-appropriate activities, and she also helped with bath time and bedtime routines. Most importantly, Diana created a safe, loving, and structured environment where our daughter thrived. Any family would be fortunate to have her as their nanny, and we would gladly hire her again.”
Hi! My name is Lawson and I am a senior at the Urban School of San Francisco. I am the oldest of three kids, including a brother 10 years younger than me whom I regularly take care of, so I have been around kids my whole life. I have also babysat and worked as a camp counselor plenty of times throughout my life. I am no stranger to driving, entertaining, coaching, and putting kids to bed. I am a very active person and am more than willing to play sports and spend energy with kids. I can also help with homework and tutoring, especially in math and science. I can cook and clean as well as drive to run errands or to take kids to and from their activities. I love cats and dogs and have a cat of my own. I can feed, walk and play with pets, though I am slightly allergic and less comfortable with pets that shed a lot.
“Kind, on time, and easy to communicate with. Our child felt comfortable, and we’d happily book again.”
Grew up taking care of my younger sister while both my parents worked long hours. Worked for healthcare system backoffice software for the last decade. Looking to make a bigger community impact and help real people outside the healthcare system. I'm extremely patient and work well with all sorts of personalities, albeit I can be a little bit awkward sometimes. I love fixing things and getting into the details. Always happy to listen to people's stories.
Hi my name is Patrick but go by my preferred name Benny. I live and work in San Francisco in the financial services industry on the client services team. I’ve always loved working with kids and have experience looking after toddlers and kids having two young boy cousins (current age 7 and 5) who I care for from time to time. I can cook and complete other household chores as needed and am looking forward to helping families in the city!
Hi families, I’m Olivia! Here’s a little about me: • Education: Graduated from the University of Oregon last year with a major in Advertising and a minor in Psychology (Go Ducks!!). •Relocation: I am moving from a small town (Hood River, Oregon) to San Francisco on September 11 and am looking for caregiving work in the Bay Area. • Daycare experience: Worked in a daycare for a couple of years, supporting children of various ages. • Big sister role: Helped raise my younger sister who is 12 years younger than me, from bottles and homework to activities and routines. • Babysitting and dog sitting: Years of experience caring for kids and pets. I also lived with two golden retrievers who taught me patience and responsibility. • Strengths: Reliable, caring, organized, fun-loving, and calm under pressure. • What I love: Creating safe, engaging environments where kids feel happy, supported, and encouraged to be themselves. • New here: This is my first time on UrbanSitter, but I bring a strong background and a genuine passion for caregiving.

"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."
