Hey there, my name is Jenny. Nice to meet you! I have been working with Urbansitter since 2013, and I have made meaningful connections with families over the years. Though I’m currently pursuing a doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, I still find joy in babysitting when my schedule allows. I’m known for being patient, goofy, and communicative. My professional background is rooted in hospitality and technology, but I’ve always had a passion for working with kids in diverse settings. I coach volleyball and volunteer as a camp counselor at The Painted Turtle Camp. I’ve also had the privilege of tutoring elementary school kids via Reading Partners and mentoring with Access Youth Academy. Each of these experiences has enriched my ability to connect with kids and support their growth in fun and creative ways.

Jennifer was very nice and our 3 boys really liked spending the evening with her! She was professional and timely and even honored our request to speak Spanish with our children while she was babysitting them. Would definitely use again as a babysitter.

Hi! I'm a DePaul University graduate with 10+ years of experience caring for children from infancy through the teen years as a nanny, babysitter, tutor, and violin teacher. I speak English, Spanish, Farsi, and Arabic, and have been a violinist for over 15 years. I have extensive experience with infants, toddlers, school-age children, and teens, including feeding, naps, developmental play, homework help, transportation, and bedtime routines. I'm also experienced caring for children and adults with special needs, including autism and developmental disabilities, and I strive to provide patient, individualized, and compassionate care. Beyond childcare, I have experience as a household manager and personal assistant, helping with meal prep, laundry, organization, errands, scheduling, light housekeeping, and keeping busy households running smoothly. I'm also comfortable caring for pets and can assist with feeding, walking, medications, and daily care. Families describe me as reliable, warm, organized, and proactive. I have my own reliable car, a clean driving record, am fully vaccinated (including COVID booster), and do not smoke. I'm available for occasional, part-time, short-term, overnight, and last-minute bookings. I'd love the opportunity to support your family and provide dependable, engaging, and attentive care for your children and home. ----- Booking Policies My time and budget is planned around the hours booked, so I ask that you honor payment for the entire booking, regardless if you come home early. I'm also generally flexible if you need me to stay later than scheduled as long as that is communicated to me. Cash or Zelle are my preferred payment methods. Tips are always appreciated but never expected. Thank you!

Hello Families ! My name is Salma, 27 years old and currently work as a credentialed School Psychologist. In my free time, I open my availability to new or returning families for sittings in the evening time (preferably on the weekend or Fridays). A little about me and my experience working with children and families. Simply put— it has always been something I was naturally good at and truly enjoyed doing! I have an extensive background experience working with kids of all ages (infants-high school) and I aim to integrate these experiences to explore what works best for everyone I work with. Spending time, caring for and being a role model for children is truly one of the biggest and most important jobs anyone can take on! Overall, it has taught me how to be patient, loving, fun and an out-going individual. Thank you for your consideration!

Very professional with an amazing vibe. Reliable, easy to work with, and SF local is a bonus. Highly recommend.

Hi families! I’m a Duke University & HBS graduate with 15+ years of experience caring for children from newborns through elementary age in both caregiving and educational settings (tutoring in Montessori school settings). I believe every child is unique, with their own temperament, routines, interests, and ways of communicating. My approach is to meet each child where they are, pay close attention to what helps them feel secure and engaged, and adapt my care to support their individual needs and development 🌱 I’m CPR and First Aid certified, fully vaccinated, and highly attentive to health and safety. I also have experience caring for infants and toddlers with severe allergies, including following EpiPen and emergency-response protocols. I offer occasional family support in San Francisco alongside my full-time career. I genuinely love partnering with families and supporting kids as they learn and grow through each stage of their development! 🤍 * Mission-based * Not available for full-time care

Hi, I’m Nina. I’m a reliable, calm, and experienced caregiver based in Berkeley and Santa Clara Valley. I’m fully vaccinated and boosted. About Me I recently graduated and currently offer babysitting for families looking for someone dependable, warm, and experienced. I take childcare seriously and bring a steady, grounded energy into the home. Experience I have over 10 years of paid childcare experience with children ranging from 2 months to 17 years old. My background includes working as an au pair on the East Coast, a full-time nanny in San Francisco, and a babysitter in Los Angeles. I’m comfortable with dinner routines, bedtime, bath time, light meal prep, homework support, and caring for multiple children at once.

My Approach I focus on creating a structured but relaxed environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to be themselves. For date nights, I aim to keep the evening calm, smooth, and fun while maintaining the family’s usual routine. My style is balanced, consistent, respectful, and calm. I believe children thrive with clear expectations, kindness, and patience. Outside of work, I enjoy the beach, long walks, and a quiet night with a good book. I also have a dog and a cat, so I’m very comfortable around pets. I look forward to connecting and seeing if we’re a good fit!

Hi parents! I’ve been in United States since 2019. I came as an au pair and now I’m a college student. All this time I had the pleasure of taking care of kids from different ages: 8 months to 12 years. With the kids I like to read books, paint, play, take them to parks or different places if the parent is comfortable. I’m a person that is very patient, calm, respectful and trustworthy.

Karen was very friendly and professional, our daughter really enjoyed her! We would definitely hire her again.
