Hi, I’m Wendy! I’m a dedicated babysitter with over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages, including those with ADHD and Autism. I have a strong understanding of RIE teaching methods, which help foster independence, confidence, and a nurturing environment for children to thrive. Originally from Los Angeles, I went to school for Business but my true passion has always been working with kids. I love incorporating outdoor activities, art, and cooking into my babysitting style to create engaging and fun experiences. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and enriching environment for every child I care for. I’m also a big dog lover, so pets are always a welcome part of the experience! I’d love to connect with your family—feel free to reach out with any questions!
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!

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! Aside from working, I love going on a hike. Always looking forward to going to the National Parks, or the next glacier trip. Currently, I’m babysitting kids ranging from 1 year old to 11 years old whenever my schedule permits. 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!
“Highly recommend! Great communication, punctual, considerate, and provided great energy to make kids comfortable.”
**summer availability*** Hello UrbanSitter families (: My names Ana (: I am currently working as a substitute teacher for preschool, elementary, middle school and some special education/inclusion classrooms. I have previously worked with infants and toddlers (0-3) as an early interventionist/child development specialist. So I have lots of experience with children of all ages & developmental levels (: I’ve also worked with summer programs, volunteered in children’s hospitals & have babysat professionally for 10+ years. I have done everything from long term, date nights, classroom pods, play dates, school or practice pickups, overnights & weekends. Special skills include arts & crafts, sports, games, hiking, homework help, dancing & singing (warning: not that great at the singing part) LOVE dogs, open to cats & other pets. I have my own fur child, Otis. As for availability, Being a substitute I don’t always know my exact location or end time. For the most part it’s M-F, end times vary from 2:45pm to 4pm. Depending on the distance from the school to home, I wouldn’t be able to give exact weekday evening availability. Weekends are typically open (: *CURRENTLY NOT TAKING JOBS WHERE USING OWN CAR TO TRANSPORT CHILDREN *CPR & First Aid trained **Vaccinated and Boosted
I’m a parent of 1, my daughter is now an adult. I retired from the Army after 20yrs in 2016. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and have worked(played) in their nursery for over a year in my church. I have also taught in Sunday school 3-5yr olds and 12-15 yr olds. I love babysitting kids because I only had 1 and wanted more. I wouldn't have been able to continue in my career or make it to retirement if it wasn't for the babysitters & family I had for my daughter. I’ve lived in multiple states and 2 other countries as well as visited 19 countries for work. I love “working” with kids because they are nonjudgmental, carefree and a great reminder to slow down and enjoy simple things in life. I'm not looking to start a new career, I believe kids can make life fun and happier than being in a boring corporate office or answering to a boss.
“Jessica took great care of my daughter! She was punctual, very patient and friendly. My daughter loved spending time with her. I would highly recommend her. ”
