Booked by 4 families in Daly City, CA

Hi, I’m Sofi! I’m an Argentinian Physical Education teacher who graduated in December 2023, with strong experience caring for children of different ages. I currently work as a nanny for two wonderful kids, ages 4 and 6, and I also have experience as an au pair in the U.S., providing full-time childcare. Working with children is something that I truly enjoy. I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment where they can learn, grow, and feel confident. My background in physical education allows me to incorporate active play, sports, and movement, while I also enjoy creative activities and cooking with them. I’m responsible, energetic, patient, and caring, and I always aim to build a trusting relationship with both children and parents.

Hi there! I'm Brittany- a third generation San Francisco native and USF graduate with a degree in Sociology. Growing up in a big family, I know firsthand how busy life can get, and am always happy to jump in and lend a helping hand wherever I can :) I’ve been working with children for over a decade through childcare, tutoring, and volunteer work. I’m experienced with all ages (infants to preteens), and love engaging with kids through arts & crafts, music, outdoor play, and creative activities. In recent years, I stepped away from UrbanSitter to care for an aging relative, but am excited to connect with more wonderful families. My schedule is fairly flexible, so feel free to reach out- I’d love to hear from you!

Brittany took care of our 2 year old daughter while we were out. She was prompt, friendly, and got along well with our daughter. She put her to bed with no problem. We would definitely hire Brittany again!

Hello families! My name is Kelly and I'm so excited to meet you. I recently graduated from the Burnett School of Medicine at TCU with a Master's of Medical Science, and I am available for light part-time or occasional jobs. I graduated with a BA in English in 2015, and worked for several years in teaching: high school music and dance programs, summer camp operations, and most recently in administration for a nonprofit preschool. In addition, I spent a year at a local Children's Hospital, planning age-appropriate activities for children of all ability levels. I enjoy primarily working with infants and young children. My favorite activities to do with kids include playing in the park, reading, arts & crafts, and music. I'm proficient in basic Spanish and love to practice with little ones! I am Infant & Child CPR/First Aid certified, and enjoy creating safe and fun spaces for children to play.

Punctual, professional and fantastic with the kids. Would definitely hire again.

Booked by 9 families in Daly City, CA

Hi- my name is Danielle! I am a public school teacher of 4 years (3rd grade for 3, 2nd grade for 1). I’m looking to make some extra money on the side with house sitting, pet sitting, babysitting, or tutoring. I have a bachelors degree in Childhood Development, i have worked in a preschool as the head teacher and also in an after-school program with elementary aged kiddos, and also spent two years as a full time nanny to twins (3 yrs). I’m mostly looking for evening care jobs or weekends when my schedule permits. I have experience with tutoring elementary school aged kids as well as experience with special needs kids. I have a lot of pet sitting experience and have owned dogs/cats my entire life. I don’t have a ton of free time during weekdays but would be willing to work out check ins or walks if necessary. House sitting would be ideal for my schedule. I have housesat numerous times for family and friends in the past and would feel very comfortable if pets were there too!

Danielle was great, super friendly and took care of our daughter. She did not shy away from toddler behaviors and jumped right in!
