Hello! I am Ana . I am currently a recent graduate at the University of California, Berkeley. I am home in Los Ángeles for the summer. I love working with children. I have had many younger cousins in my family who I connect with very well and have taken care of from time to time. I am a very dependable and trustworthy person as well as respectful. I follow instruction and learn quickly. I know I do not have much professional experience but I when I have babysat and nannied, the families have been very pleased. I hope to be able to connect with more people and help to take some stresses of your shoulders knowing your kids are being well looked after. I also offer household help and pet care. I have grown up with pets all my life, as well as helping to clean the house and would be more than willing to help. I am a very flexible worker and am willing to be there for any family I work with; if you unexpectedly need time to work more hours I will be there. I am also a creative and active person and will make sure to help keep your kids active if that is your wish.

Hello! My name is Tyler and am offering services for house/cat sitting and childcare for toddlers & kids. I have a cat of my own that I cherish and I have experience with taking care of/teaching groups of kids from soccer camps to ski lessons. I graduated art school last year and really enjoy sharing my knowledge with little ones I am tidy, can clean & cook, and also run errands (I have a car if needed).
Hi! I’m Delia, an experienced childcare professional and community leader with over 20 years of experience supporting children and families. I bring a calm, nurturing, and engaging energy to every environment I enter. I currently serve as a Program Director and Educator in San Francisco, where I design and oversee after-school and early learning programs that help kids grow socially, emotionally, and academically.
Hi! My name is Esme. I am 18, and I am excited to be sitting! I have worked for 4 years at Rock Band Land, and met so many amazing and talented kids through that. I am graduating from SHCP at the end of the school year, and will be attending CU Boulder majoring in psychology, with a focus in developmental psychology. I love crafting, music, and reading. I have been a student at Dance Mission Theater for 12 years, and also help out by assisting teachers during youth classes. I have babysat in my neighborhood for two years prior to signing up for UrbanSitter.
Hi! My name is Melina. I was born and raised in San Francisco and have been working with children in various roles for over 10 years. I currently work in a local school district as a behavioral therapist, supporting children with developmental and emotional needs—experience that has helped me develop deep patience, creativity, and an understanding of how to connect with kids at all levels. Childcare has always been a part of my life. My family has run three successful private daycares in San Francisco, and since I was 15, I’ve helped care for families needing an extra hand during evenings, weekends, or special events. I'm also a mom to a wonderful 4-year-old, so I know firsthand how important it is to have someone you trust with your child. I bring a calm, nurturing presence to every home, and I’m also happy to help with things like tidying up, organizing, or running errands to help keep the household running smoothly. Right now, I’m attending City College of San Francisco, studying to become a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst. My background gives me extra tools to support children’s emotional and developmental needs in everyday moments. If you're looking for a caring, dependable sitter with both experience and heart—I’d love to connect with your family!
“I can't recommend Milena enough. She worked with my autistic son as his RBT for a year and also babysat for us until she moved out of state. Milena was the only one that could connect with him at his therapy center. My son trusted her from the first day they met and she cared and loved him like her own child. She handles unexpected situations calmly and efficiently, ensuring the child’s safety and comfort. Milena is incredibly dependable; she was always punctual, patient, kind, and excellent at creating a positive fun atmosphere. She was such a great asset to our family and I haven’t found anyone I can trust like her since she moved away from Florida. She provided not only exceptional care for our son but also became a cherished part of our family. Any family would be lucky to have her!!! Karla Serrano Cape Coral Florida”
