Hello! My name is Eden, I am a second-year student at the University of San Francisco. I am majoring in Fine Arts and minoring in Chinese. I have been babysitting kids of all ages for the past 8 years. I have babysat kids from the ages of six months to twelve years old. I have also house and pet sit. Some of my tasks for both were to water the outdoor and indoor plants, feed the pets, clean out litter boxes or cages, and refill water bowls. I have been able to sleep over when house sitting but I understand if some don't feel comfortable with that. I love the act of caring for others, being able to help out and spend time with kids really brings up my spirits. I am an open, curious, creative, patient, and empathetic person. I feel kids should get outside and do things off a screen as much as possible, which is why I love playing games with them, whether that's board games and card games or taking them to a park.
Hi! I’m someone who genuinely enjoys helping people and making life a little easier for the families I work with. I’m dependable, patient, and caring, and I always try to create a safe, comfortable, and positive environment. Whether I’m caring for children, spending time with seniors, looking after pets, or helping around the house, I treat every family with the same kindness, respect, and attention I would give my own. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind knowing your loved ones and your home are in good hands.
“She was prompt and super friendly. Had snacks and juices and activities ready my kinda caregiver!! Def recommend and will def call her again 💕 ”
Hi, my name is Allison and I'm currently working at a local bakery. I'm offering childcare and pet care, with light household services up for discussion. I have been watching children from newborn to elementary school age since I was 14 years old. My responsibilities have included meal prep, bedtime routines, outside and park play, assisting with organizing kid's rooms and toys, reading time, and general playtime. I am happy to work with families with dogs or cats.
“Allison is great to work with! We have hired her multiple times. She is friendly and kind, working hard to engage the kids. ”
Hi! My name is Srinidhi and I recently graduated from Vanderbilt with my master's in Mental Health Counseling. I've worked with kids ages 3-15 in all arenas from daycare to tutoring and summer camps. I have 1 year of private babysitting experience (plus 7 years of auntie babysitting experience!) and am excited to provide a safe environment for your kiddo(s)! My experience as a mental health professional and as a babysitter allow me to make sure kiddos are having fun, staying safe, and successfully getting through everything from meal times to brushing their teeth. I also have 5 years of experience as a private tutor and am happy to help your student with any homework difficulties they may be facing. Thanks for reading all the way through, and I hope to hear from you soon!
Hi, my name is Nia, and I am a student at Howard University studying Sociology and African American Studies. I have over four years of babysitting experience caring for children of various ages, from infants to school-aged children. I am responsible, patient, and dedicated to creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn and grow. I enjoy reading with children, helping with homework, organizing arts and crafts activities, and encouraging creative and educational play. I can assist with meal and snack preparation as well as light housekeeping. I take pride in building positive relationships with both children and parents and strive to make every family feel supported and at ease.
“Nia Assata has been the only non-biological caregiver my daughters (currently 15yo and 7yo) have known for the past four years. Nia has been remarkably caring, responsible, and creative in her care for them despite an eight year age-gap. She has watched them for several hours at a time, sometimes overnight. Despite my wife and I having a robust community of friends and family, we trust Nia exclusively with the care of our girls in our absence as she is consistently thoughtful, even tempered, and aware of their comings and goings as she is responsible for them. Her interaction style is also quite competent as she is inquisitive, interactive, and directive while also having a gentle way that could disarm even an oppositional child. We recommend her without reservation”

"UrbanSitter has supported my needs for reliable and joyful sitters. Whether it be for work, recreation or last-minute emergencies, we've made wonderful relationships with local sitters who have become a part of our family!"

"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."
