Find a last-minute babysitter in Daly City, CA

I have 10+ years of babysitting experience, including caring for the same family for 8 years—from when the child was a newborn through age 8. That experience taught me how to handle everything from infant care to school routines with patience and consistency. I’m reliable, easygoing, and love spending time with kids—whether that’s playing, helping with homework, or keeping a calm, safe environment. I’m also big on clear communication with parents and making sure everyone feels comfortable.

Greetings! My name is Ava Alexandra (She/They) and I have been babysitting since 2019. I am a San Francisco native, multimedia artist, and community advocate who is going back to university to finish my Bachelor's Degree in Communications and Asian American Studies. I currently attend SFSU and my hobbies include painting, enjoying live music, playing dress up, and advocating for my community! In my spare time I enjoy cooking, baking, writing poetry, and singing karaoke. I have experience caring for children ages 1-12, picking them up from school, walking them home, or bringing them to the park for a few hours to play. I am well versed in "mother's helper" tasks such as dishwashing, cooking, laundry, light housework, and organizing. I am familiar with bedtime and bath time routines for children, ensuring they are well taken care of and happy. I enjoy working with children and providing them with the tools they need to be creative, grow strong, and be healthy! I enjoy art, fashion, and all elements of design. I love to design clothing and sew. Some of my interests include painting, watching anime, and playing Nintendo Switch games. Please book me at least 24 hours in advance. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Hope to be in touch soon. :)

I have a reliable car, a California driver’s license, and a clean driving record. I am also a huge animal lover and very comfortable around pets, and I’m happy to help with pet care as needed. Rates reflect the level of care and specialized support provided, and may vary based on each family’s needs. My priority is that you feel confident and at ease when your child is in my care. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to request references—I would love the opportunity to support your family.

Hi, I’m Julia! I'm a career nanny in SF. I started nannying 12 years ago and never looked back! I truly enjoy getting to know new little ones and their parents. I am enthusiastic about making sure little ones stay safe, comfortable and having fun while their parents are busy. - 15 years total childcare experience in the Bay Area, first as a babysitter throughout high school and then the past 12 years as a nanny. - I've had long-term nanny jobs with children of all ages - newborns, toddlers, preschoolers and elementary schoolers, including families with multiple children. I’m engaging and playful with children at every stage of development. Love snuggles, games, reading, art, outings, etc! - The majority of my jobs over the years have been as a baby/toddler nanny, mostly within the 3 months-2.5 years old range before they transition to daycare or preschool. - I’ve always done occasional babysitting (i.e date night sitting) on the side for all ages! - Experience following napping and feeding schedules, sleep training, preparing bottles, initiating age-appropriate activities, and making adjustments as needed as the baby/toddler grows. - I love spending time outdoors and instilling a love of nature in children, so I appreciate situations where we are able to explore (by transit or on foot - no driving). As an SF local, I’m very familiar with parks, museums, the zoo, libraries, and many music/storytime classes throughout the city, and how to navigate Muni with a stroller! I’m part of a big network of nannies/families in SF, especially near GGP! - I was a full-time in-home tutor/school assistant for a kindergartener, 1st grader, and 2nd grader for a full year of the pandemic when schools were closed in 2[removed].

*Note* Mainly accepting evenings or date nights. I would love to add more families to my roster of regulars; please feel free to text me if you are interested in a particular date that may not be listed. Hello parents! My name is Idallis (eyed-al-is). I’m a 27 year old Bay Area native with 9 years of experience as a member of Urbansitter. I have a background check, up to date vaccinations (including COVID booster and flu shot), 170+ positive reviews, and almost 700 bookings via this website. As a member of UrbanSitter, I’ve had full-time and part-time positions as well as one live-in position in 2020 with many wonderful families; additionally, I’ve been fortunate enough to have long-term relationships with some who have booked me regularly for date-nights for years. I use positive reinforcement as a form of discipline, and approach every situation with empathy and patience. What sets me apart is that I love my job, and most of the time - it doesn’t feel like one! I love working with children and encourage them to embrace their independence and explore their interests. While I work with a variety of age ranges, cumulatively I have the most experience with 1 to 2 year olds. However, I have gained a ton of experience with infants in the past three years (and I’m currently working with one!). I'm kind, charismatic, patient, and responsible. I studied art history for two years. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, baking, crocheting, and hanging out with my very affectionate cats or discovering locally owned restaurants with friends. Personal Policies/Requests: - I have a $120 minimum for each booking. Thank you! - I don’t drive so an Uber home or compensation is appreciated for evening bookings but of course, not required. - Please book alternative childcare if your child(ren) have symptoms of or have been diagnosed with COVID-19, flu, HFM, pink eye, and other highly contagious illnesses. I will also notify you if I have symptoms of anything contagious so that we can plan together accordingly.
