Ally $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ally, and I recently got engaged and am entering an exciting new chapter of life. As I plan my wedding, I’m also focusing on building a career centered around what I truly love most — working with children and animals. I’m based in the Marina in San Francisco and offer reliable, compassionate childcare, babysitting, dog walking, and pet sitting services. With a professional background in client relations and communication, I understand the importance of trust, dependability, and creating meaningful connections with families and pets alike. My goal is to pursue work that feels rewarding and genuine while supporting local families in my community. Whether it’s caring for your children, walking your dog, or helping make daily life a little easier, I would love the opportunity to help!

Booked by 1 family in Albany, CA

I’m a former K-8 special education teacher with four years of experience working with students with mild to moderate disabilities. I’ve also been babysitting and coaching youth soccer for over 10 years. I love hanging out with kids, helping them learn new things, and making sure they have a fun, positive experience. I’m available for tutoring, babysitting, pet sitting, and house sitting, and I’m happy to help out however I can. A Little More About Me I love being outdoors -- hiking, biking, playing sports, and swimming are some of my favorite ways to spend my free time. Excited to meet you and your family!

“Couldn’t have been happier with her communication, responsiveness, and attentiveness. Last minute scheduling, booking, and lots of info from me in a brief period of time - and I felt such a good vibe and feeling of trust the entire time. She was great with my 18m old, who is a very busy boy (and our dog!). Would love to have Kay back at ours in the future! ”

Booked by 2 families in Albany, CA

Hi! My name is Olivia, I am 23, and I am a recent college graduate with a degree in Neuroscience passionate about promoting children’s cognitive development. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I love babysitting and have experience watching younger school age children (around 4-5 years old). I have volunteer experience watching groups of children at a time for church activities. I have two years of experience watching both cats and dogs. My family has two cats of our own and I have dog sat for young and elderly dogs. I can house sit, take care of plants, and do household tasks such as cook, clean, and run errands.

“Olivia was great! Both my boys warmed up to her quickly and they enjoyed her. They don’t like every sitter, so happy they both liked her from the start. ”

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
