Lolly $35 per hour for 1 child

I have been a preschool teacher for toddlers for almost 9 years. I have a certificate in infant and toddlers care. I love to take the kids to the closest playground so they can explore in nature and interact with other children. We make lots of art activities and sensory experiences. I help in the process of potty training.

Alexandria $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Alex. I grew up in San Francisco and as a teenager would frequently babysit for younger children (6-8 years old) down the street or in the neighborhood. I enjoyed playing with younger kids (ages 1-4) of family friends at gatherings. I currently work at an after school program at an elementary school. I interact mostly with parents but enjoy listening to the students when time allows. I am calm, friendly, and crafty. I enjoy reading, knitting (currently working on a sweater!), and learning new things. I enjoy a lot of activities, such as board games on a rainy day, or going to the park so kids can get out that endless amount of energy.

Cat $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Cat! I work in after-school child care and I am highly energetic and passionate about working with kids. When working with children, I am great at having a balance between discipline and being gentle and kind. I lead with empathy and strive to understand what your child is feeling instead of reacting. I believe that everyone deserves to express their feelings even though they may not know how to express them. I love playing games, planning activities, and keeping kids engaged and off their screens! I am also a great cook and love to make healthy snacks or meals that children will enjoy. Having my own younger siblings makes me a great candidate to take care of others because I always think about how I would want my own family to be treated. I will always treat others with care and respect.

Maria $40 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Maria,and I’m excited to be a new member of UrbanSitter! I work at an orthodontic office during the week, where I have the joy of connecting with children of all ages and helping them feel comfortable and cared for. As a mom to my wonderful six-year-old daughter, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your child. I bring that same level of care, patience, and attentiveness to every family I work with. We also have a sweet Norwich Terrier named Giuseppe, so I’m very comfortable around pets too! I look forward to getting to know 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!"
