Hello my name is Evin! I am a graduate of San Francisco State University where I earned a BA in Child and Adolescent Development with a concentration in youth work and out of school time as well as a Minor in Africana studies. I also have a Masters (MA) in Drama Therapy at CIIS. I have worked as a coordinator for different youth programs throughout the Bay for over 7 years now abd a program manager of youth programming for the last 4 years. A lot of the work I do centers on culture, healing, Mental Health, Restorative Justice, etc. I have been working with children for over a decade now. I started off babysitting for local families back in San Diego. Then it was more infant and toddler care. Right into college I worked in preschools for two years then went into summer and after school programs with school-age kids, and following that I was a camp counselor at a radical healing retreat with high school students. I now write curriculum for one of the summer programs I work for and after being a coordinator for both programs I am now a full time program manger. I am super into creativity and socio-emotional development along with education and safety. I pride my self in making children feel safe to learn and express themselves as well as discover who they are as individuals. I love supporting youth in all their endeavors and I truly have a natural understanding, patience, and connection with children.

“Evin really helped us out on short notice when our scheduled sitter bailed on us at the very last minute. From the moment she came over she was super friendly, professional and did a great job making our little one feel comfortable. Our son really enjoyed his time with her and I would highly recommend her to anyone using Urbansitter. Thanks Evin for your help!”

Hi, I’m Leighanna! I’m a nursing student with over 11 years of babysitting experience, starting when I was just 13. I’ve cared for children of all ages and pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and calm in any situation. Alongside childcare, I also offer dog sitting—I have two sweet pups of my own, Okia and Yumi, so animals are very close to my heart. I earned my undergraduate degree from San Francisco State University and am now pursuing my master’s in Nursing. Outside of school and sitting, I love to bake and have been dancing for 22 years, which keeps me creative, active, and full of energy. I bring that same warmth, responsibility, and enthusiasm into every family I work with and truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for kids. 🚗 Rates & Transportation: 🚗 My standard rate is $30/hour minimum for one child. I’m always happy to discuss rates and am comfortable accepting bookings at a different posted rate if one is listed. For families located across the bridge, I kindly ask for assistance with the bridge toll, which is currently $8.50. ❌Cancellations❌ Because I reserve time specifically for your family and may turn down other opportunities, any booking canceled with less than 48 hours’ notice will incur a cancellation fee equal to one hour of care at my normal rate. If plans change or a booking ends early for reasons outside of my control, I ask that the reserved booking time be honored for payment unless we’ve agreed on a different arrangement in advance. I completely understand that unexpected situations can come up, and I appreciate your understanding and consideration of my time. Thank you!
