Hello! I’m Judi. I am a 35 year old preschool teacher who loves working with children and is really looking forward to working with yours! I am a teacher and mom to an awesome 12 year old. I am back to Urban sitter after a hiatus and I’m interested in date night gigs and other short term nannying. I have over 15 years of experience working in early education. I currently work full time at an amazing preschool in Glen park. We practice play based learning there and that is the philosophy I use in my interactions with kids. I practice gentle parenting at home and approach all children with the same mindset. I am warm, friendly, reliable and punctual. Thank you for your time and consideration!

“Judy was wonderful with our 9 month old son. Before we left she was already playing with him on the floor and letting him crawl and explore. He had a good nap, a bottle, a snack, and was happy when we got home. She was punctual and a clear communicator. We were so thankful and would recommend her!”

Hi there! I’m a warm, reliable caregiver with over 5 years of professional pediatric experience supporting children and families, along with many years of babysitting throughout college and beyond. My background in childhood development along with the many young children in my family have given me a strong understanding of children 6 months and beyond, along with how to support children’s emotional, social, and developmental needs at every stage. I believe in fostering play and curiosity while maintaining a safe and nurturing environment. Some of the activities I love are playing games, pretend play, music, and playing outside! I take great pride in being a caregiver that families are able to trust and rely on. I’d love the opportunity to connect with your family and I look forward to chatting!

Booked by 7 families in Daly City, CA

Hi there! I’m Sophia 😊 I have 10+ years of babysitting and childcare experience, and I’ve been part of UrbanSitter since 2018. I started babysitting in my neighborhood when I was younger, and I’ve loved working with kids ever since - especially after moving to San Francisco! I currently work a 9-5, so I’m available for part-time babysitting. I have experience with meal prep, school pickups and carpools, light housekeeping, and planning fun, engaging activities to keep kids happy and busy. I also spent 3 years volunteering part-time at a daycare, which gave me even more hands-on experience with children of different ages. I truly enjoy building connections with families and creating a safe, positive environment for kids!

“Sophia was fabulous with my kids and pets. They were very happy with her and are eager to have her come back again!”

Hi! My name is Brianna and I work full-time in the Ecommerce field, but am looking to get back into working with families on the side! A bit about me: I am the oldest of 4 and have decades of babysitting experience both professionally and for my own siblings, neighbors, and family friends. I graduated with a Neuroscience degree from UMN in Minneapolis in 2019 and started my professional career as a visitation supervisor for families working towards reunification in the CPS system. I spent time with a wide age range of children and families of varying sizes as well as taught parenting skills during my visits. Following that, I moved to San Diego and worked as a nanny full-time for various families with children ranging from 5 months to 4 years old. I have since moved up to SF, adopted a dog, and would love to work with your family! I’m looking forward to chatting more and seeing if we are a good fit for care!

“We’ve hired Brianna as an extra kids helper for our church’s gatherings multiple times, so we’ve had the opportunity to watch her first-hand with our kids. Brianna is on-time, kind, and responsive. She engages with kids in a naturally warm and helpful way, and communicates well with parents and volunteers, too. We'll definitely hire Brianna again!”

"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!"
