Thank you. ————————— Hi friends, my name is Anne and I currently offer child and pet care services :) I currently attend SDSU pursuing degrees in Philosophy and Child Development. My future endeavors are to become an immigration or family lawyer, giving back to the communities that raised me. I believe working with children has helped me grow into a more patient, passionate person and I can’t wait to see where it all takes me! I used to run a youth development program for the YMCA at an elementary school while studying. I now work for TRNC! I enjoy creating an enriching environment that provides opportunities for growth and provide more stimulation for youth. When I have time, I like to babysit! :3 Some of my hobbies are creating arts of all kind, cooking, baking, and playing sports! Although I had a serious knee injury, I am still able to play sports and be active outside! I love trips to the park and taking walks when I can. I also love animals; I used to foster kittens with my grandparents and it is such a rewarding experience. I often take care of pets. Feel free to send me a message and ask questions! I will get back to you as soon as I can, and look forward to meeting you! :)
“Anne and our 3yo very verbal, very curious daughter took to each other immediately. We'd love to have her back!”
Hello! - My name is Debbie, and I am a medical student at UCSF. I am offering child and pet care services. I have experiences watching toddlers and kids since the age of 18. In particular, I have worked as a camp counselor for 2-5-year-olds for the Neil Klatskin summer camp in 2018. Additionally, I have served as an undergraduate tutor for K-8 underrepresented students through the Latino Student Fund. I understand how much of a privilege it is take on this role and recognize how important it is to be a source of comfort and guidance to children in their childhood and adolescent years. I am also happy to work with families that have cats!
“Debbie has taken care of our cat, Gigi, several times. Would highly recommend! She is communicative, punctual and caring. She also takes great pet photos that have made us feel confident our fur baby is doing well while we're away :)”
Hi my name is Leia and I've been working with Urbansitters for 7 years. I've genuinely loved my time nannying and getting to work with so many families over the years. I enjoy working with repeat families and I also do well jumping in and working a one time gig. In my time nannying I've had experience working with children from 18 months old to 14 year olds. I'm also from San Francisco and know the city very well if you would ever need me to take your children to any extracurricular activities. I'm a part time student and my schedule is open and flexible to take on a part time position with a family. If you have any questions for me feel free fo reach out anytime :)
Hi! I’m Gina, welcome to my profile. I just moved back to the Bay Area and I’d love to be your nanny or date night sitter. I also accept last minute requests. I have over 14 years of childcare experience from teaching, nannying, and date night sitting. I’ve worked with all ages, infant through preteen and have a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies. I’m well versed in child development and personally like a Montessori style approach but happy to tailor my care to parents preferences. During my undergrad, I researched the benefits of yoga for children with Autism and ADHD. I’d be happy to share my research, if interested. When working with families, I appreciate a team player and growth mindset. When a child makes a mistake, we learn, we grow and we move past it. I like to lead with empathy, compassion, and curiosity. Families I’ve worked with describe me as nurturing, responsible and fun. Keeping your child safe is my top priority and I will care for your child as if they were my own. When caring for your child/children, I like to let the child lead the adventure. Activities I’ve done with past families are arts and crafts, playing ball with friends, storytime at the library, music class, teddy bear birthdays, and play dates at the park. In addition to caring for your child, I like to keep play area tidy, assist with laundry, and love to make kid friendly meals. A fan favorite is Brocoli Quesadilla. Outside of nannying, I am an artist and reseller. I love to thrift, paint, create pottery, doodle, and photography. I recently got into gardening and growing an herb garden. Fresh Rosemary and Cilantro here I come!

"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!"
