Booked by 2 families in San Francisco, CA

Hi! I’m 28, work in the medical field, and have 13 years of babysitting experience. I’ve grown close with the families I’ve worked with and always aim to make kids feel safe, supported, and heard. I’m used to school pickups, driving to activities, helping with homework, and keeping routines on track. I’d be happy to chat and see if I’m the right fit for what your family needs. CPR certified

Victoria was amazing with my 3 year old. They played, went for a walk and Victoria had her bathed and in her PJs by the time I got home. Victoria is on it and has great engagement with children.

I’m a mom and have experience raising my own child, so I understand how important it is to provide a safe, caring, and fun environment. I’m patient, dependable, and really enjoy spending time with kids whether it’s playing or keeping them busy with creative activities. I’d love the chance to care for your little one and help out however I can!

Hi moms and dads ! My name is Rosa I'm 32 years old, born and raised in Mexico. I speak both languages English and Spanish. I have worked with families for about 3 years and I am so a mother myself (kid is grown now) with a lot of experience. I enjoy teaching and nurture them with knowledge, love, and creativity. I consider myself as charismatic, patient, and active person. In my free time I enjoy biking, running, dancing, and hiking. I am also a college graduate that can help with kids homework. My current routine includes keeping them engaged with age related activities, prepare snacks, helping with laundry if needed, taking them to outdoor activities **** Pet friendly as well. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you, Rosa

Booked by 2 families in San Francisco, CA

Hello there! I'm a recent graduate from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, where I majored in Food Science. I've returned to my hometown of Marin and will be here for the foreseeable future. Kids and animals hold a special place in my heart, and I've been babysitting since I was 12 years old. With years of experience, I've learned how to create a safe and nurturing environment for children of all ages. I love the outdoors, whether it's a trip to the park, a nature walk, or a fun outdoor game, I'll make sure your children are entertained! One of the advantages of my current situation is my highly flexible schedule. I'm here to accommodate your needs and ensure a stress-free experience for you and your family. I am looking forward to whatever opportunities arise! Feel free to reach out at any time!

On time, very sweet and calm. Great with our 15 month old daughter. She doesn't always warm up to sitters and was immediately happy with Mia. Will definitely hire her again!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
