Hi there! My name is Leslie, and I'm a warm, reliable sitter with 2-3 years of experience caring for children and pets. My goal is to ensure a safe, fun, and happy environment for everyone in your family. I specialize in caring for school-aged children and pre-teens, focusing on activities that match their energy and interests. I love encouraging creativity with arts and crafts, getting active by playing sports, and fostering imagination through reading books. I'm happy to assist with homework, manage after-school routines, and prepare simple, healthy meals. I am committed to making sure your children feel secure, engaged, and well-cared for while you're away. I have a great fondness for animals and experience caring for a variety of pets, including both big and small dogs, as well as cats. Whether your dog is a tiny terrier or a large lab, or your cat needs quiet cuddle time, I provide attentive care that meets their specific needs. This includes walks, playtime, feeding, and making sure they get plenty of affection. I'm comfortable with animals that shed and will always treat your pets with the love and respect they deserve! I look forward to meeting your family and discussing how I can provide the best support for your home!
Hello! My name is Cepideh (Cep for short) and I currently work part-time researcher at UC San Francisco, a role I secured after graduating from UC Santa Barbara in 2021. In undergrad, I was an active student involved in the Undergraduate Mentorship Program which mentors and guides first year students through academic and personal situations. One of my first ever jobs was as a swim instructor at the local swim school De Anza Cupertino Aquatics (DACA). I taught children ages 7-11 basic swim strokes and safety during their lessons. I also had the opportunity to work as a camp counselor during my high school career. I led a group of elementary school children through their activities in a weeklong excursion in the Watsonville outdoor school. I find an incredible sense of wonderment when I have the opportunity to work with children. I end up learning more than I anticipated through conversations and activities I engage in with the children. I look forward to continuing to work with children in my local area!
Hi, I’m Ann! I work full-time as an interior designer, and am looking to help out families with date nights and occasional babysitting on evenings and weekends. I’ve been babysitting off and on for family and friends since I was teenager (newborns- age 9). I have various other experience working with children including volunteer ski coaching for kids age 4-7, being a first grade teaching assistant, and being an outdoor school camp counselor for middle schoolers. In my spare time I enjoy a mix of both active and creative hobbies, and when babysitting enjoy all sorts of kid's activities from park outings, games, arts & crafts, baking/cooking, or just watching a movie. I'm also a huge animal lover and grew up with dogs, cats, and horses. I currently have a sweet cat named Fig.
“Ann was great! Very kind & professional! ”
Hi everyone! I’m 25-years-old and looking for some occasional or part-time babysitting/nannying work. My legal first name is Brittany but I go by my middle name, Aryn. This past year I worked as an elementary school garden teacher in San Francisco as part of a year long AmeriCorps program! I taught students TK through 5th grade all things plants, nature, vegetables, as well as social emotional learning in a beautiful school garden :) I’m passionate about regenerative agriculture, urban food systems, and outdoor education, among many other things. I live in San Francisco now and went to UC Berkeley for undergrad. Prior to working as a teacher I was a full-time nanny for various kids ages 10 months all that way up to 11-years-old in New Orleans. I’ve been working with kids since on and off since I was 15-years-old so have lots of experience. I was a camp counselor for years so I know lots of games and fun activities. I have experience changing diapers, putting kids down for naps, cooking and preparing meals/ lunches, helping around the house, bedtime/bath time, creative play, and have been known for helping facilitate creativity (I love arts and crafts!). I have babysat kids as young as 3 months old. I also have a car so am able to pickup/ drive kids when needed. I would be happy to chat in person and/or provide references!! Looking forward to chatting!
“Aryn has watched our 2 year old son several times and we would highly recommend her. She’s the perfect balance of taking initiative and direction. She’s thoughtful and fun and our son loves time with her!”

"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."
