Booked by 1 family in Daly City, CA

Hi, my name is Marcie and I have two kids of my own who are now 28 and 23. Both of my kids have moved away from home and I now have a lot of free time. I work for UCSF Pediatric Neurology full time but my days end early. I created an urban sitter account to helps parents in need in the afternoon and occasionally on the weekends. I have years of experience with kids due to having my own but I also occasionally help out with my sisters daycare. We care for 4-6 children ages 6 months - 5 years old.

$40 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Jennifer but I go by Jenny. I have worked with children of all ages since high school when I landed my first job as an assistant at a pre school called Snow White in Oakland. I quickly realized I enjoyed working with kids and have continued to do so ever since. I have cared for infants, toddlers, and multiple school aged siblings. I love spending time reading, playing long monopoly games, and finding interesting activities for the children in my care. I am comfortable transporting kids to school, sports and social activities. I also enjoy going to the zoo, Fairyland, and exploring nearby parks. I have cared for children on date nights, school breaks, and overnights. I am flexible and will try my best to accommodate to the family’s needs. I look forward to meeting new families!

“Jenny is a wonderful babysitter! She has been babysitting our kids on occasion for the past three years. She is very loving and sweet, and our kids really enjoy spending time with her and playing board games with her. I feel comforted that Jenny is very responsible and the kids are safe with her. I highly recommend her as a babysitter!”

"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!"
