***45+ repeat families as of 8/2026, just not through Urbansittter!!! *** Hello! I'd really love to get to know your family! I'm selectively applying for engagements, so if I've clicked on you, there's something I loved in your write-up! I am recently back to work after taking a two year sabbatical. During that time, I sat for a bit over 100 different families and am asked back about half the time! At this point I am only doing evening/night-time sitting, and depending upon what care you need I will consider doing weekend daytime too. I really enjoy being around kids of all ages. If your kid(s) are of the right age, I love to play games, do puzzles, read, or as I see some of you are up for, taking kids around SF to explore this incredible city! I'd love the opportunity to help your household out by responsibly doing some fun things with your child(ren). Or, if they're too young for these things, I'm very responsible and will ensure your newborn or toddler are well looked after. I babysat when I was a teenager, and was a part-time nanny for a couple of years in college, but in my adult life I play pinch-babysitter to friends or family when they get into a bind. Or when they're going to an all-day wedding they need to plan weeks in advance! As such, I know that emergencies come up and I'd be ideal for last minute bookings with my open schedule! Happy to have a conversation or an online meeting if you want to get to know me before having me to your home. On a personal front, I love to travel! In fact, that's part of why I'm continuing to be on Urbansitter, to help finance my next trip - please help me!!! :) Also I am a puppy lover who doesn't mind cats, so if you're a pet family, all the better! Hope to connect soon!

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.”
