Hi, my name is Wendy! šš¼ āŗļø I have an Associateās Degree of Arts: Social and Behavioral Sciences and I recently got my Bachelorās in Psychology. Im starting a Grad School Program fall 2026 for a LMFT at USF. My academic goal is to be a kids therapist because I truly love working with kids and that is the reason why I like babysitting since I get an opportunity to work with them. I am the eldest daughter of 5 siblings who are all boys and that I cared for since they were born until they grow up older. So the reason why I am very patient and kind with babies, toddlers and children of any ages is because I got the experience from taking care of my little brothers. But since 2020 I have been a nanny for 5 different families for about 1 or 2 years with each long term family. I can surely provide phone numbers for recommendation as well! One thing about me is that I love talking to babies even though they canāt answer back ha! I like taking toddlers and babies on walks, to closest library or just to explore any part of your place! I also enjoy teaching them the numbers, colors and singing appropriate age songs with them as well! I also love reading books with them. And lastly with children of 6-10+ years old I like to play table games or even painting as well. I am also a Spanish and English Tutor at Grade Potential Tutoring and Tutor Hero - so if you would like me to teach/practice with your children Spanish or English thatās something I am willing to work with them too :)
āWendy was so helpful to us at the last minute! She quickly bonded with my two year old and I felt very comfortable leaving the two of them to play all day together. My daughter even woke up the next day asking for her, which was really sweet to see. Wendy was punctual, kind, a responsive communicator and we can't wait to have her back!ā
Iām an creative babysitter, I love make art projects with my kids and teach them how to clean up at the end, I enjoy playing with their toys and take them to the playground if the weather permit.
āKatherin was so flexible and patient with us and took great care of our daughter!ā
Hi! My name is Karina, I am a part time nanny, part time elementary school art teacher, and a part time musician. Iāve been nannying the same kids for 6 years now, and itās my biggest joy. However; Iām looking for some occasional extra hours. Would love to help your family out and watch your kids so you can go out and enjoy a date night, or even give you just sometime to yourself. I have been babysitting and nannying kids for 15 years now, and nothing really makes me happier.
āKarina took care of our 4-month old on short notice, and as our first non-family sitter. She was super responsive, friendly, confident, and was great with our son and our dog. We are very grateful that she helped us feel comfortable taking a night for ourselves! Would 100% work with her again.ā
š Hi! Iām a native San Franciscan back after twenty years in Hawaii. I began my nannying career in Y2K, and have cared for little ones (newborns- 5 years) since then in San Francisco, Marin, and Maui. š£ Over the years, Iāve had the privilege of nurturing children from infancy through adolescence, including my goddaughter, who is aspirationally kind and thoughtful. š©µ I bring an empathetic, warm, and grounded presence into the home, and always try to grow the giggles! I aim to create a safe, loving environment for children to feel confident, secure, and seen. šØ Trained in ballet, hula, acting, and visual arts, I love to encourage imagination and creative self-expression. š¬ With a background in public relations, Iām highly communicative, discreet, organized, and dependable. š¦ŗ My driver license, vaccination records (COVID x2/ MMR/ Tdap), and background checks (LiveScan, Checkr) are available upon request. āļø I'm able to travel with your family (USA Passport/ CLEAR/ TSA Pre-Check), and am available for overnights. šø Please feel free to message me about availability, rates, or anything else; I can usually reply immediately. I look forward to connecting with your family! Aloha! **For the health and safety of all the children and families I work with, Iām unable to care for those actively sick with highly contagious illnesses such as HF&M, RSV, flu, pink eye, COVID, etc. Thank you for understanding.
Hello Urbansitter parents! Iāve been babysitting children, pet sitting & house sitting for 35+ years, but the last 9yrs here on Urbansitter. I just retired early from my full time job at Kaiser Permanente where I worked for the past 25 years. Prior to that, I worked as a medical assistant for a private Pediatrics office in San Mateo for 5 years. I love kids of any age, enjoy playing games, reading, going to the park, arts & crafts, cooking/baking, doing puzzles or watching a movie with them. I have many years experience with newborns/infants, toddlers, grade school kids & watching multiple kids together. I also drive some of the neighborhood kids where I live, to and from school and their afterschool activities. I have car seats available for toddlers & grade school kids. I have 1 rescue pup, love the outdoors & I have a passion for rescue animals, so I am more than willing to help out with your pets, big or small! Please feel free to contact me with any questions you might have. I try to keep my calendar as updated as possible, but you can always message me to check on the availability you need. I am COVID vaccinated & can supply proof of vaccinations. I am also First Aid, CPR & AED certified as well as fingerprinted & background checked. I look forward to meeting you & your family!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
