Hi there! I am a graduate from USF with a background in healthcare and a Micro-Credential in Behavioral Health. With over 10 years of experience working with children in daycare settings and ABA (applied behavior analysis), specializing in kids with autism, I am well-equipped to provide care for your little ones. I have worked with children of all ages, from infants and toddlers to school-aged kids and teenagers, and I am passionate about engaging them in fun and enriching activities both indoors and outdoors. I am CPR/BSL certified, up-to-date on my FLU vaccine and TB test, and fully vaccinated against COVID-19. I prioritize open communication and honesty with the families I work with, and I am always willing to lend a helping hand with light household tasks. I do provide more help for additional fees; please ask about this, and we can discuss further. Whether it's a day full of outdoor adventures or indoor activities like reading, puzzles, and arts and crafts, I am dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment for your children (I have little nephews and a niece so I think about how I would want them cared for and provide that level of care to children I work with). I am comfortable wearing a mask if needed and am happy to accommodate any special requests or concerns you may have. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about me, please don't hesitate to reach out. I am excited to connect with your family and provide the best possible care for your little ones. Thank you for considering me for your babysitting needs!

Hi, I’m Cynthia! I’m a reliable, energetic caregiver with years of experience caring for children from toddlers through elementary age kids. I’ve worked with families in both Washington, DC and San Francisco, providing consistent, trusted support for busy parents. I currently work part-time as a consultant, so I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy spending my free time with kids. Caregiving is something I choose to do because I love it—not just as a job, but as a way to stay engaged, active, and connected. I especially enjoy working with curious preschoolers and early elementary kids (ages 3–6 are my favorite!). My style is hands-on and interactive—I prioritize play, creativity, and outdoor time over screens. Whether it’s building forts, doing puzzles and Legos, reading together, or heading to the park, I bring a high level of energy and engagement. I also have some experience supporting children with ADD/ADHD and understand the importance of patience, structure, and positive reinforcement. Outside of caregiving, I’m a long-distance runner and love staying active—something that translates well to keeping up with high-energy kids who enjoy being on the move. I also volunteer as a reading tutor at a local elementary school, which has been a rewarding way to support early learning. (Fully vaccinated and CPR/First Aid certified.)

“Simply wonderful!!”

Booked by 216 families in Alameda, CA

Hello there! I’m Lily, and I am experienced working with multiples and children of all ages (from less than 1 month old babies to high school tweens). I graduated with a MA in psychology. Prior to being a childcare provider, I worked at a nonprofit teaching digital media and magazine writing to adolescents from underserved communities. Professionally, I’m trained to be a construction manager, which makes my favorite bedtime storybook “Goodnight Goodnight, Construction Site”. All my other professional experiences made me very attuned to detail and comfortable in fast-paced, high stakes environments—qualities that I believe will come in handy when caring for children. I have babysat for years in both NYC and SF through college and grad school. I have recently returned to UrbanSitter for occasional evening / nighttime work. CANCELLATION POLICY As compensation for lost time due to last minute cancellations, I expect 50% of the original booking amount for cancellations with less than 48 hours notice and the full amount for same day cancellations. Payable via Venmo or Zelle.

“Lily did a great job!”
