Hi! I'm Shae and I am a flight attendant based in San Francisco, originally from Iowa. While I am new to UrbanSitter, I am not new to providing child care. I began babysitting for family friends and families around my neighborhood when I was 13 years old. My mother also ran an in-home daycare business for most of my younger life and I always loved getting home from school and running over to help her care for the infants/toddlers. Being a flight attendant is my full time job but I am looking to cut back on flying all around the world and spend more time at home. My job is flexible and allows me to have a lot of availability. I am a very crafty person. In my free time I love to do puzzles, make things out of clay, sew clothing and household goods, and any other crafts that may peak my interest. I love to entertain children with hands on crafts. At previous jobs I also really enjoyed taking the children on daily outings like walks to the park, hiking, or to a museum or the library. I currently live in Oakland and am happy to travel to jobs nearby in the city or surrounding areas. I previously lived in North Beach so I am familiar with areas in the city as well as the east bay. My flight attendant training lends well to caring for children as I have become accustomed to diffusing meltdowns and handling stressful situations. I have also dealt with a handful of serious medical events through my job and am trained in CPR (both for infants and adults), how to use an AED, choking, seizures, and other first aid. Also, I have people close to me who are autistic so I am well equipped with the tools needed to care for someone on the spectrum. I am looking forward to being an instrumental part of caring for you child. If you think we would be a good fit, please reach out. I look forward to hearing from you!
“Shae is a wonderful sitter. Very warm and kind and my toddler girls took to her instantly. Played with them at the park for a very long time. Definitely recommend her! ”
Hello! I am Amanda and I am a social worker by day and looking to become a family's go to date night sitter. I have experience professionally in the field of social work with kiddos of all ages and developmental capabilities as well as experience as a nanny/ caregiver. I consider myself as playful and imaginative as a sitter usually playing with toys or outside games. I just became a verified children’s yoga instructor so I’m happy to do some fun age appropriate poses with your kids. I am very respectful of family schedules, routines, and helping kids feel as comfortable as possible while their parent(s) are away enjoying some much needed kid free time.
“Amanda was great! I’d recommend. ”
I love kids and have seven nieces and nephews ages 6-17 whom I have been involved in caring for. I’ve babysat for all ages since I was a pre-teen and am currently a high school teacher, in my 8th year.
Hi! I’m Alejandra, born in the US and raised in Mexico. I can speak Spanish and English and have over 10 years of experience taking care of kids in Mexico and in the US. I have experience taking care of kids from 6months to teenagers and I am also a great cook. Looking for occasional or part time jobs.
Hi! My name is Teresa. I'm looking to take on sitter jobs this summer. I can help with: • Child care • Pet care • Household help Ages: I'm happy to babysit children ages 4 through the teen years. I also have my own car and can help with school pick-ups, drop-offs, sports practices, tutoring, errands, or other activities if needed. Grace Period: I understand that delays happen. If you arrive later than the agreed-upon time, I'll round your return time down to the previous half hour. For example, if we agree on 6:30 PM and you arrive at 6:59 PM, I'll still only charge through 6:30 PM, giving you up to a 29-minute grace period for traffic or other unexpected delays. I'm happy to work with families nearby. Feel free to message me with any questions or if you'd like to see if we'd be a good fit!
