Hi, my name is Danna and I am currently an English teacher. I am offering childcare. I have always loved working with children since they are very imaginative and very cute when they are discovering the world. With over 3 years of experience working with children in various settings, I have developed strong patience and responsibility. I am highly organized and love creating fun and educational activities for young ones. My passion include reading, music, traveling, crafts, and outdoor activities. I am a native Spanish speaker, fluent in English, and I have basic French language skills.
Hello my name is Alexis and new to UrbanSitter! SF native that recently moved back from NYC. I am a caring, reliable, and fun babysitter with 10+ years of experience working with kids ages 10 months+ , as well as caregiving for elders. I love keeping kids engaged through play, crafts, reading, and outdoor activities. Flexible with Friday evenings, weekends, and date nights! Please reach out if you have any questions!
Hello, my name is Koryn. I'm seeking to generate more income for my family. I enjoy being with infants, toddlers and children. I want to have control over my schedule and flexibility. Babysitting would be a good fit for this. Also, I live in the Richmond District and would like to offer that the children come to my home, as I have a lovely place with a yard and I'm close to the library, playgrounds and China Beach. I'm a mother of two teenagers. (My profile picture is me with my two children when they were much younger!) My husband and I raised my children in SF. My son is starting his senior year at SI in the Fall and my daughter, an honors graduate of SI, is starting her sophmore year at University of Wisconsin, Madison in the Fall. These days, I've more time to work and support the family financially - with children attending expensive programs this is important to me. I'm originally from the Hudson Valley in NY State. However, I've lived in SF for 25 years. I've work experience in corporate and nonprofits worlds. I understand the pressure and environments for moms and parents. Since 2018, I've been an on call Sr. Event Coordinator for the de Young and Legion of Honor. I loved exploring the city when my children were all ages. I also loved being home with them. I especially loved reading childrens' books with them - Two favorites are 'Stars' by Mary Lyn Ray and 'The Rabbit Listened' by Cory Doerrfeld. I'm prepared to speak to my experiences and open to questions. Look forward to hearing from you.
Hi, I’m Olli and I’m looking to add some babysitting onto my plate! I am currently a preschool teacher in the 2’s classroom. I have experience as a teacher with 4 and 5 year olds as well. I have a car and can drive. I have my bachelors in psychology and am currently taking early childhood education classes. I love being around kids and helping them navigate the world. Familiar with diapers and potty training! :)
Hi! My name is Olivia and I am 20 years old. I have lived in San Francisco my entire life and I attended Convent Elementary school and St. Ignatius High School. I currently attend the University of Texas where I study Finance and am on the division 1 rowing team. I am home for the summer and I am looking for some families to help out! During Covid 19, I took on a large mothers helper role for 4 girls (aged 1,3,5,7) and absolutely loved it. I love kids and am a fun, energetic, warm, and very type A/responsible person. Also, I have played almost ever sport, so I love throwing the baseball or kicking the soccer ball with young kids. I had a small baking business when I was in middle school so I still love to bake and cook if that is helpful in anyway. I have been babysitting all ages of kids on and off ever since I was 13 years old and have built many strong and trustworthy relationships with families that I have helped. I have had Golden Retrievers my whole life, so I am also great with dogs. I also have had my drivers license for 4 years and have taken a CPR certification course. Overall, I always have a great time when I babysit, and I would love the opportunity to babysit more families!
