Hi there :) thank you for clicking on my profile! I’ve been working with kids for over 9 years now and I think I can say I've truly found my passion! I have a teaching background and I love to make my work meaningful and mindful, always making sure I’m present for my kids helping them grow and develop as beings. My teaching style leans more towards Waldorf and Montessori and I prefer to work for no screens families (even better if you don’t have TV at home). I’m from Brazil and I speak Portuguese and English fluently. I’m very responsible and proactive, I tend to fix things as I go instead of being asked to do it. I have a CPR certificate and First Aid Training. I play the ukulele and I’m also a certified Music Together teacher, I legit sing ALL THE TIME. If you’re into music we’ll definitely get along! I make sure to always have my ukulele with me for awesome dance parties and music time. I graduated as a Health Coach back in 2020 and I’m now studying Plant Based cuisine. I absolutely love cooking and will have the best time cooking healthy meals for your family and maybe even getting the kids involved in the mess! I also love baking so I might bring a cake to share every now and then! I’m a morning person and love to look at the bright side of things! So I think a big sum up of me would be a mix of music, health, good food and lots of happiness! I like to work for families that value the work I do and care about growing as individuals and learning together. Having a safe environment for open communication is very important to me! Thank you so much for reading my profile :) if you feel like we could be a good match please don’t hesitate to contact me! You can find more info on my cooking schedule on manuelalilliston.com/

“Manuela brought such wonderful energy to our home and was immediately a natural with our kids. My 10 month old warmed up to her right away. She even prepped some food and left the house tidy. Would absolutely work with her again!”

I am a creative, caring, VERY energetic, physically fit, patient mom of 3 grown-up boys and “Super-Mima” to MANY Urban Sitter children 🎉🎊🎈I major in ACTIVE PLAY with children, engaging them in fun games and educational activities appropriate to their ages.... babies and toddlers too with whom I have extensive experience. I am also an art instructor for the developmentally disabled at Cedars of Marin and have a lifetime of familiarity with special needs children. Art projects, creating block or Magna-Tile castles, and building forts are all-time favorites with me and the kids! Puppets and “stuffy birthday parties” are big hits with 2-5 year olds🥳. 6-8 year olds excel in riddles & jokes and balloon battling.🎈9-12 year olds love tricky brain teasers, 20 Questions, and art projects. I was born in San Francisco & grew up in San Rafael. I went to UCLA with Art & History majors. Besides three sons, I have one fabulous grand-daughter, Zoe age 11 that I cared for extensively as a “high-needs” infant, + Samuel, my 2 year old grandson 💝. I drive a 2017 Toyota Corolla and have a flexible schedule and am available for "date nights" and late nights or overnight if need be. Please read my outstanding reviews. Children especially enjoy me because I PLAY WITH them. I bring an assortment of great books because just about ALL children love being read stories. Please note I have a background in senior companionship care with excellent local references + a CA Dept of Social Services Care Provider Bureau background check with CLEARANCE besides my Urban Sitters background check. I am also CPR / First Aid Certified updated every 2 years

** OUT OF TOWN UNTIL THANKSGIVING ** Hi! I’m Hannah, a student at Middlebury College. I’m in San Francisco for the summer and love to reconnect with families I’ve previously worked with and meet new ones when I’m home during breaks. I just completed a summer fellowship at SPUR (public policy org) and am looking for babysitting jobs before I go back to Vermont for my last semester! I offer part-time and occasional babysitting as well as pet care. I have 10 years of experience babysitting for families with children ranging from age 1 to 14. My responsibilities have included picking up from school, helping with homework, preparing meals, helping with bath/shower time and doing crafts/playing games. I’ve been described as empathetic, trusting, punctual, hardworking, and joyful by previous families. Besides babysitting, I love sports and have experience working as a junior soccer coach. I also love the outdoors and especially love helping kids engage with curiosity and joy in nature! During the summer of 2020, I also developed curriculum and led a virtual climate camp for 4th to 6th graders. Additionally, I worked as a virtual reading tutor during covid and am happy to provide homework support. At home, I have a cat and golden retriever pup and am a huge animal lover! I offer walking, feeding, and have experience with house visits caring for cats and dogs while their families are on vacation. Please feel free to reach out with any questions, I look forward to connecting!

“Hannah was fantastic - my schedule was a bit up in the air and her flexibility was very much appreciated. She was great with the kids, they loved hanging out with her and had a full day of fun activities. Excited to have her back soon!”

***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!
