Hi, I’m Angelica! I’m a recent college graduate of Saint Mary’s and a longtime caregiver based in San Francisco’s Outer Sunset. I’ve worked with children ages 1-16 as a babysitter, tutor, youth summer camp leader, and older sister, and I genuinely love helping kids learn, grow, and have fun. Parents describe me as reliable, patient, energetic, and easy to communicate with. Whether we’re working on homework, doing arts and crafts, baking, playing sports, or simply spending quality time together, I strive to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment where children feel comfortable and supported. One of my favorite parts of childcare is getting kids out and about and creating fun experiences together. I love exploring San Francisco and am happy to take children on age-appropriate outings to places like the Academy of Sciences, the San Francisco Zoo, local parks, playgrounds, beaches, libraries, museums, and other community activities. I enjoy helping kids stay active, curious, and engaged while making lasting memories. A few things families appreciate about me: ✓ CPR certified for infants, children, and adults ✓ Clean driving record with experience transporting children to school, camps, sports, playdates, and activities ✓ Experience caring for children ages 1-16 ✓ Comfortable helping with homework and educational activities ✓ Happy to assist with light household tasks, errands, meal prep, and pet care ✓ Fully vaccinated I understand that every family has different needs, and I’m happy to adapt my approach to best support your household. Whether you need a dependable sitter for date nights, after-school pickups, weekend activities, occasional babysitting, or part-time care, I’d love to help. I’m happy to provide references upon request. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Hey there! I am a nursing student at USF, with a varied schedule week to week. Prior to starting this program, I worked in oncology & public health research, and earned a masters in public health from UC Berkeley. I have enjoyed working with children for years; through child care, school tutoring, and summer camp settings. I have experience caring for children from a wide range of ages (newborns to middle-school age), and caring for multiple children at once. I've spent the most time with 4-5 year old children working at summer camps including Camp Galileo, where I was given the opportunity to educate, lead, learn, and develop my skills with these kids. I was born and raised in San Francisco, so I am able to suggest plans for taking the kids out for the day, often doing some of the same activities and going to the same places I loved as a kid (parks, the SF zoo, the beach, baking, biking, to name a few). I also love hanging out at home with them, playing their own favorite games, cooking, creating art, and reading. I am also CPR-certified.

“Maddy got along great with our three year old daughter! Maddy was prompt, friendly, and jumped right into an active day with our daughter, which included a walk to the nearby park. Definitely recommend!”

***45+ repeat families as of 8/2026, just not through Urbansittter!!! *** Hello! I'd really love to get to know your family! I'm selectively applying for engagements, so if I've clicked on you, there's something I loved in your write-up! I am recently back to work after taking a two year sabbatical. During that time, I sat for a bit over 100 different families and am asked back about half the time! At this point I am only doing evening/night-time sitting, and depending upon what care you need I will consider doing weekend daytime too. I really enjoy being around kids of all ages. If your kid(s) are of the right age, I love to play games, do puzzles, read, or as I see some of you are up for, taking kids around SF to explore this incredible city! I'd love the opportunity to help your household out by responsibly doing some fun things with your child(ren). Or, if they're too young for these things, I'm very responsible and will ensure your newborn or toddler are well looked after. I babysat when I was a teenager, and was a part-time nanny for a couple of years in college, but in my adult life I play pinch-babysitter to friends or family when they get into a bind. Or when they're going to an all-day wedding they need to plan weeks in advance! As such, I know that emergencies come up and I'd be ideal for last minute bookings with my open schedule! Happy to have a conversation or an online meeting if you want to get to know me before having me to your home. On a personal front, I love to travel! In fact, that's part of why I'm continuing to be on Urbansitter, to help finance my next trip - please help me!!! :) Also I am a puppy lover who doesn't mind cats, so if you're a pet family, all the better! Hope to connect soon!

Booked by 10 families in San Francisco, CA

Hello! I’m Simma (See-ma). I believe that a great caregiver is someone who is a partner in curiosity, a companion in play, a nurturing space, and a reassuring anchor for your little ones while you are away. Over the years, I’ve had the immense privilege of caring for children ranging from tiny, sweet 6-month-old adventurers to boundlessly energetic 6-year-old explorers. Every age brings its own unique magic! I also have experience caretaking for fur and feather babies! (cats, dogs, and birds) My approach is simple: let’s explore, let’s learn, and let’s laugh. I bring a gentle, enthusiastic energy to every family I join. I love discovering the world alongside children through the lenses of music, games, and creative play. I meet kids exactly where their imaginations are and introduce things that speak to their spirit. I am equally dedicated to being an absolute professional for you, the parents. I honor each family's parenting style, communication preferences, and established household routines. My goal is to leave your children feeling completely secure, and to leave you with total peace of mind. I would love to connect, learn about your family's rhythms, and see how I can support your household!

“Simma was wonderful! Would definitely use her again ”

Hi! My name is Vanessa, I’m 27 years old and originally from Colombia 🇨🇴, where I studied Finance. I’ve been living in the U.S. for over three years and have strong experience working with children and households in different support roles. My main area of experience is childcare. I’ve worked with children since 2019, including volunteering in Peru teaching English to kids and teens (ages 5–16), working in a kindergarten with infants and toddlers (3 months to 5 years), and two years as an au pair in the U.S., caring primarily for toddlers and school-aged children (6 and 10 years old). I’m confident with routines, meals, naps, playtime, and age-appropriate activities. I’m happy to support families in different roles, depending on what you’re looking for: • Childcare / Babysitting: focused on children’s care, routines, and well-being 👩🏻‍🍼👶🏻 • Pet sitting: feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship 🐶🐱 • House sitting: caring for the home while you’re away 🏡 • Household help: light tasks related to the role (tidying up, laundry, simple meal prep, errands) 🧺✅ I love animals — I grew up on a family farm and have a cat back home in Colombia 😻— and I’m very comfortable caring for pets, especially cats and small dogs. Families describe me as reliable, organized, proactive, and easy to communicate with. I truly enjoy being helpful and supporting families in a professional and respectful way. I’d love to connect and see how I can help!
