I’m a 22-year-old female nursing student with a strong background in caregiving and child support. I’m CPR certified and have several years of hands-on experience babysitting my younger siblings and cousins, which has taught me how to be patient, attentive, and nurturing. I’ve also tutored children in the past and taken education-related classes toward a minor, which helped me understand how to engage kids in fun and age-appropriate ways, even though I don’t have official certification for it. I have my own car and a valid driver’s license, which makes me reliable and flexible with transportation needs. I’m responsible, empathetic, and genuinely enjoy caring for others — whether that’s kids, seniors, or helping out around the house. I bring a calm, warm energy to any home I work in, and I’m committed to creating a safe and positive environment for everyone I care for.
Hi there, I’m Kaelyn! After taking a break from UrbanSitter to work with families independently, I’m excited to reconnect with this amazing community. I’ve lived in San Francisco since 2017 and earned my B.S. in Molecular Biology from the University of San Francisco in December 2020. Now, I work full-time as a Program Manager in the biotech industry (specifically the research side of molecular diagnostics) I’ve been babysitting since I was 2011, starting with family friends’ children & gaining experience throughout HS, College, and Post Grad with a wide variety of ages & number of children, experience with 3mo–12 yrs and 1-3 children. As well over the years, I’ve gained extensive childcare experience, including five summers as a camp counselor at Rawhide Ranch, a Western horse camp in San Diego. As a counselor for 5-12 children a week, between children 7-15. There, I assisted with meals, cabin life, teaching classes, and creating a fun, positive environment for campers. In 2019, I worked as an Au Pair in Madrid, caring for two wonderful girls (ages 8 and 11). I loved teaching them English and forming a lasting bond with their family. Childcare has always been a passion of mine. Whether babysitting or tutoring in science and math, I enjoy engaging with kids through games, songs, and creative activities. Growing up in San Diego as a Disney enthusiast, I still love a good Disney movie night to unwind after a fun-filled day. Looking forward to connecting with your family soon!
Hi- my name is Vianey! I have been working with children of all ages for over 7 years. I have experience as a teacher assistant and a after-school teacher for 4+ years at a elementary school in San Francisco for kids aged 3-11 y/o. My experience has ranged from newborns up to middle schoolers. I am able to support with homework and other activities that may need assistance. I enjoy doing arts and crafts, puzzles, and outdoor activities with children. I am bilingual, fully vaccinated, and also First Aid/ CPR certified. I also enjoy working with pets! 🩷

Hello! My name is Rand, and I am currently a double major in Biology and Philosophy at USF, with a minor in Health Studies. I work as a surgical tech and hold CPR and BLS certifications, ensuring a safe, supportive environment for your little ones. I love creative activities like painting, yoga, photography, and puzzles! During COVID, I mentored children online, helping them develop both social and academic skills.
Hi families! My name is Brenda. I am a San Francisco native :) I was an infant/toddler and preschool teacher and an early interventionist assistant for 8 years before transitioning to my current job. I also did tutoring for a few years for elementary school age kids when I was in college. I participated in different programs, such as PITC(Program for Infant/Toddler Care), to further my knowledge in the early childhood education field. Occasionally I babysit for family, friends, and other contacts, which I enjoy very much! Look forward to meeting your family! :)
“Brenda is very friendly and reliable. Our daughters loved her, would definitely recommend.”
