Hello! My name is Cassandra and I'm 32 years old. I graduated from San Francisco State University in 2016, with a major in Technical and Professional Writing. I'm originally from LA and I moved back once I graduated. I currently work in Finance as an EA. I've been working with kids since I was 15 years old. I've worked with kids mostly between the ages of 2 and 8. I'm extremely patient with kids and I definitely know how to keep them busy. I have some experience with toddlers but not a ton. I am a fast learner though. : )
“Cassandra is a super star!! Thank you!!!!”
Hello my name is Kandice and I’ve been working with UrbanSitter for the last 12 years and have worked with so many wonderful families! I currently teach 3rd grade in SFUSD and absolutely love working with children. I hope that we can work together in the near future! Thank you for the consideration and I look forward to speaking with you!
In Elementary school they would allow the 4th-5th graders to spend their time off with another teacher as their assistant and that’s when I realized I loved spending time with younger kids. During that time I’d also volunteer as a sitter/helper at my local youth center after school or when needed. As I got older I was able to watch all ages either at the school, youth center, relatives and/or family friends. I have over 18 years of experience as a nanny, sitter, elderly caregiver, personal assistant, and house manager. My main goals are to make sure everyone is comfortable, safe, having fun, & parents can just enjoy themselves without worrying. -PLEASE MSG ME BEFORE BOOKING JOB- ✔️I'm looking for a family that is honest, has family values, and is financially stable. • A year of commitment. • A minimum of 25 guarantee weekly hours. • As of right now I’m not caring for children under one years old. ✔️ • I’d be happy to assist in preparing/assembling meals for kids &/or family, baking, cleaning up (laundry, organizing, tiding up kitchen, rooms, toys), grocery shopping, driving children, and I’m pet-friendly. (I’m not a housekeeper but will keep household clean) • I have a Kia Sportage, driving record is clean no tickets or accidents. • Vaccines: Tdap 09/29/2024; Flu 03/13/2026; Covid 03/13/2026. • I don't partake in any kind of substances. • Depending on ages of children I’m comfortable with watching four-five children. •• Since December 2023, Ive been providing daily morning care to a sweet elderly woman w/dementia in Glendale. Schedule is flexible and would love to continue•• ~From past poor experiences I feel it’s best to make a contract so both parties have an understanding of what is to be expected as nanny and parent, it will entail compensation, schedule/hours, payment method, & duties/responsibilities. __ *For our first phone interview & meeting/sitting, I would feel much more comfortable with you booking me via US. It is a safety precaution* __ (1 child) $27/per hr (2 children) $27-$30/per hr (3-4 children) $30-$45/per hr (More than 4 children) $45-$55/per hr
“Samantha put my mind completely at ease leaving my kids with her. She’s capable, confident and so kind! My youngest is tough work and they had a great time, immediately was asking when Samantha could come back! Highly recommend!”
Hi there! My name is Monica. I have about 7 years paid experience in babysitting and been babysitting family members on and off since high school. I am also certified in First Aid/ CPR/ AED. I love kids. I enjoy watching, playing as well as teaching them. I love to nurture their interests and development whichever way they chose. Listening to their silly story and witnessing their small milestones are definitely some of my favorite most rewarding things as a sitter! A little more about myself, I grew up drawing a lot of cartoon characters and many of the kids I sit love and enjoy their drawing/coloring session with me! Currently, I’m babysitting kids ranging from 1 year old to 11 years old once or twice a week. However, my schedule is flexible since I work from home. I also tutor, specializing in math. I will charge a different rate per discussion. For older kids, pick up & drop off, rates may vary. Minimum 4hrs of booking. If booked under 4hrs, $5/ per hour additional charge would be added. Safety and communication is my top priority! Love dogs and cats! I’m vaccinated and boosted, and I DO NOT work with sick children. My calendar is not always updated, so please do message me for availability. Please feel free to reach out to me for any questions. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you!
“Incredibly friendly and great with our 2 year old. Definitely asking her to come back! ”
Hi! I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services. Professional experience includes: 6 years in personal nannying, 10 years in childcare, and 12 years in teaching dance for children. I have extensive experience with infants and toddlers. College graduate and certificate in ASL interpreting and childhood development. I can provide references! My responsibilities have included: keeping a steady sleep/feeding schedule and bedtime routine, encouraging developmentally appropriate milestones, driving to/from school and after-school activities, and in-home tutoring. I have volunteered at a local organization for infant and toddler care for 5 years, worked in daycare at family camps for elementary school ages for 5 years, and worked with kids with special needs. I have had pets all of my life and have worked as a dog walker. Happy to work with big dogs. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands.
“Sarah is the best! She has worked for us for the past two years and has been such an important part of life for our family. She has everything a parent might wish for in a babysitter. She is very responsible, makes good decisions and communicates very clearly. My kid adores spending time with her because she is so playful and creative, always making up fun games and always following his lead. Sarah is very adept though at holding good boundaries, finding teachable moments and creative ways to handle any of my kids more challenging behavior. I could go on and on...... if you are here looking at her profile, you are lucky and have found a real gem!”
