Hi! My name is Kerry, and I have over 15 years of childcare experience. I’m an energetic & caring 30 year old San Francisco native & have worked in a variety of childcare roles with all ages including babysitter, nanny, and a Montessori assistant. I am currently an education major. I am passionate about kids & do my best to provide my undivided attention to ensure fun, safe, and stimulating interactions. Some of my favorite babysitting activities are playing outside, reading, art, and being silly with our imaginations. Please reach out for more information or to set up a meet! I look forward to hearing from you!
“I highly recommend Kerry. She was communicative before arriving, asked great questions, and my kids felt comfortable with her immediately. It gave me extra peace of mind knowing she has professional experience working with children at schools.”
Hi! My name is Toyosi. I was born and raised in Chicago and moved to San Francisco last year for medical school. I graduated from Princeton University in 2021, and I currently attend UCSF School of Medicine. I have always loved working with children, and I have been babysitting since high school. I am also interested in pursuing pediatrics after medical school. Outside of school (and babysitting), I enjoy reading, watching and playing soccer, practicing yoga, and taking long walks along the beautiful streets of San Francisco. All in all, I am a very genuine, kind, and thoughtful individual, and I always strive to provide my very best in my work and care for others. I hope to work with you soon!
“Toyosi is a delight! Reliable and my boys loved her. ”
Hi Urbansitter parents! I am a professional nanny with 20 years of experience. I’ve worked with newborns to teenagers. My sweet spot is 0-4 year olds. I am a proponent of gentle and firm childcare, I think boundaries are essential, along with enforcing consequences consistently. I love to get creative with children, engage with them, teach them, make them laugh, and go on fun outings. I am free most of August and after that - on weekends. I have been inactive on here but I have plenty of references should you want one.
“We were in town for the weekend & staying at a hotel. Katelyn was very flexible about the location of the sit. She was on time & my kids were very happy with her.”
Hello, I'm Caley and I have lived in SF for a decade now! I used to babysit while I was younger and help volunteer at elementary school/library during my time off during summers in college. I'm reliable and work well with any range of child or dog breed. I work full time so looking for positions thats are evening or weekends only. I love to swim and happy to take kids to either the kiddie pool at the rec and park in the Mission or Hamilton. I also enjoy going the library and happy to walk to a close location with kids as well.
“Would recommend! Caley was communicative, warm, and our kids enjoyed her.”
Hello! My name is Corinne and I'm a student at CCSF studying to become a nurse. I've lived in San Francisco for three years and enjoy biking, hiking and knitting in my free time. I've been babysitting since I was 14 years old, and have extensive experience with infants, toddlers, and school-age children, in groups or individually. My responsibilities have included leading online schoolwork during the pandemic, and I'm comfortable tutoring and helping with homework. Outside of schoolwork, I enjoy outdoor activities, reading to children, and arts and crafts. I also have worked as a chef, and love to cook for families and teach children age-appropriate cooking tasks if they're interested! I'm CPR certified for infants, children, and adults and certified for Basic Life Support and First Aid. I'm happy to help with clean-up, errands, cooking, and other household tasks. I am also comfortable working with families with pets.
“Corinne was a dream to work with and our kids loved her! We’re still hearing stories a week later of all of the fun they had. Corinne made everything feel stress free and went with the flow, which was exactly what our family needed. Highly recommend! ”

"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!"
