Hi! My name is Alex. I grew up in the East Bay and have been living in San Francisco for over 10 years. I’m currently teaching 5th grade at a SFUSD public school. In the past, I have tutored for after school programs for elementary students, fostering great relationships with children and enjoying watching them grow and learn. I frequently babysit for children ages 2-10 years old but have experience with all age groups. I served in the Peace Corps (2[removed]) where I taught Literacy and English Langauge Arts in West Africa (Liberia & Sierra Leone). I also worked as a Special Education Paraeducator at a high school in the SFUSD before transitioning to my current position as a general education/multiple subject elementary teacher. I am currently available for as an occasional date night sitter that can use my experience to create a fun and caring environment for any child or children. I am open to babysitting weekends, weekdays, and special occasions. Thanks for looking at my profile.

Hi! My name is Jadesola and I am a CPR certified, new grad RN with my BSN. I am offering childcare and household services. I love working with children. I have over 4 years of experience working as a teachers assistant at the Early Childhood Education Center with a focus in toddlers and preschool age children and additional experience caring for infants. Some of my responsibilities included nap-time routines, engaging in crafts, diapering/potty assistance, snack preparation, maintaining a clean and safe environment, and supervising and engaging in lots of play! I’m also comfortable caring for older children. I can cook and clean and enjoy baking, jewelry making and crafty things in general. While I don’t drive, I can easily commute to your location and assist with walking-distance or public transit pick-ups if needed. I’d love the opportunity to help your child grow, thrive, and feel supported; whether we’re creating art, baking cookies, going to the park or just having a fun afternoon together!

Hi! My name is Eileen and I am so excited to work with you and your family! I have worked with children in a variety of roles from being a camp counselor, camp director, preschool teacher, and an elementary school teacher. Depending upon what you are looking for in a nanny, I can provide support in many areas. I look forward to working with your children and creating magical memories! Please note that my fiancé is immune compromised, and as such, I am unable to sit for any children who are sick. I have to be super careful since any illness could lead to time in the hospital for him. Thank you for your consideration!

“Eileen was aaaaaaaamazing! I gave little instruction and she knew exactly what needed to be done. Enthusiastic, helpful, lively. Would definitely hire again and again. Thank you so much, Eileen!!”

Even though it’s not reflected on my profile as not every family does not leaves a review after the job, making it hard to connect with other families as someone fairly new to Urbansitter, I do have tons of babysitting experience. If you want to hire me for the job, please do so at least 2 hours before the job if on the same day, and 12 hours prior if it’s a day before as I do not have a car and take public transportation or Uber to the job! Hi! My name is Aneyah. I offer childcare and pet care services. I worked at a daycare center for 3.5 years, I mainly worked with children aged 2-6 but I have worked with kids up to the age of 13. I was responsible for supervising, and maintaining a safe, clean environment, playing with the kids, helping them go to sleep, and food prep. Throughout my childhood, I watched my younger siblings and relatives while the adults went out. Your child’s safety and well-being are my number one priority. I am outgoing, energetic, communicative, punctual, and patient. I’m willing to do whatever activities your child wants to do as long as it’s safe and age-appropriate, we could do a baking project, read, play pretend, dance, etc. As for pets, I’ve been around dogs all my life and I currently have two dogs! I’ll make sure your pet is fed and satisfied by the time you get back.

Hello Families ! My name is Salma, 27 years old and currently work as a credentialed School Psychologist. In my free time, I open my availability to new or returning families for sittings in the evening time (preferably on the weekend or Fridays). A little about me and my experience working with children and families. Simply put— it has always been something I was naturally good at and truly enjoyed doing! I have an extensive background experience working with kids of all ages (infants-high school) and I aim to integrate these experiences to explore what works best for everyone I work with. Spending time, caring for and being a role model for children is truly one of the biggest and most important jobs anyone can take on! Overall, it has taught me how to be patient, loving, fun and an out-going individual. Thank you for your consideration!

“Very professional with an amazing vibe. Reliable, easy to work with, and SF local is a bonus. Highly recommend.”
