Hello, I'm Olivia! I work in healthcare and love working with families. I'm reliable and I have firm boundaries. I'm curious and one hundred percent engaged. Happy to help with homework, run errands, cook, do chores and of course spend time with your kids. I want to support in any way that I can because being a parent is hard. I'm available after 5pm on weekdays. I like some flexibility on weekends will room for accommodation.

Hannah 2 reviews
$27 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Hannah! I've been babysitting for 12 years and adore children. I spent a year and a half as the daycare manager at Fun Fit Kids, where I was responsible for up to eight children at a time. I planned fun activities to keep everyone busy and happy, and I made sure homework and other responsibilities got done first. I also spent four months running the kids' area at Beets Barre and Cycle, with the same mix of play, structure and supervision. Watching that many kids at once taught me to stay patient and calm under pressure, whether it's a spilled snack, a meltdown or a sibling squabble. I'm kind, responsible and very organized, and I truly love people, kids especially. I love to cook, so I'm happy to make dinner or help little ones whip up a simple snack. I also like cleaning, so I'll always leave your home as tidy as I found it, or tidier. I'm great with pets too, so your furry family members are in good hands. During the week I work full-time as an analyst, so I'm available evenings and weekends. You can count on me to be reliable and on time, and your kids can count on a fun, caring sitter who gets homework done before game time!

“I cannot recommend Hannah enough, my little one still asks for her all the time! She was absolutely amazing with my daughter, and I always felt so comfortable knowing she was in such good hands. She was caring, patient, attentive, and truly wonderful with her. It was clear how much she genuinely cared about my daughter, and that meant the world to me as a mom. Finding someone you can trust with your child is so important, and she made that experience easy. She always came up with unique ideas for play and had the coolest imagination. Any family would be lucky to have Hannah as their nanny, and I would recommend her without hesitation!”

Booked by 1 family in Daly City, CA

I have worked in early childhood education for over 8 years. I am a mother of two children. I love working with children, I have BA degree in Early Childhood Education, teacher's permit and CPR and first aid certification. I am committed to creating a safe, healthy, inclusive, and multicultural learning environment. I focus on teamwork and building good relationships with children and parents, becoming an indispensable partner in children's learning and growth and a trustworthy partner for families. I can speak Mandarin, Cantonese, and English. I am a new member of UrbanSitter and look forward to working with you and your child.

“We feel fortunate for our children to be under the care of Angel. She is truly a professional and my toddler immediately took to her. I’ve never seen anything like it. Every time she comes to our house she brings something new and interesting. I feel like her time with our children isn’t just about watching them but is also about enriching and educating them. On top of that she’s prompt and an excellent communicator. I sincerely appreciate her so much and think any family would be lucky to work with her. ”

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Daly City, CA

My name is Sofia. I am 26 years old and grew up in the Bay Area. As a half-American, half-Argentine, I speak both English and Spanish fluently. I have always loved working with children. From a young age I enjoyed babysitting for local families and playing with my neighbors' children. Later, I began taking full-time nanny jobs wherein I was responsible for meals, baths, pickups, and homework. This opportunity to form relationships with children was so fulfilling that I decided to pursue teaching at a local Steiner-inspired school after graduating college. The curiosity and enthusiasm of the children made teaching an immensely satisfying job, it didn't really feel like a job half of the time! Though I paused teaching in order to pursue other passions, I miss the connection which the job allowed and would love to reconnect to childcare in a some way. In my work I emphasize imaginative and outdoor play, consistent and loving boundaries, and healthy rhythms to ensure a joyful, nutritive, and reliable environment for the children. In particular, I enjoy singing, dancing, storytelling, art making, and exploring with the children I care for. I cook and clean. I have a car, a clean driver license, and significant experience driving children. I also have experience caring for seniors, and have enjoyed this immensely. I am comfortable taking care of pets as well. I am looking forward to meeting 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!"
