Hi, my name is Lisbeth and I currently live in San Francisco. I offer child care services. I truly enjoy working with children and have over two years of experience caring for kids of all ages, including toddlers and school-aged children. I love creating fun and educational activities, spending quality time with them, and joining in on their favorite games. I’m a patient, responsible, and caring person who enjoys building a positive connection with the families I work with. Spanish is my first language, and I’d be happy to teach your children if you’d like. I also speak English and feel comfortable around pets. I would be very happy to support your family and provide loving, reliable care.

Hello! My name is Eliza and I love to babysit! I graduated from the University of San Francisco in May 2019 with a BA in Media Studies. Throughout my college experience I used UrbanSitter many times and have worked with many families - I love this company and all the families I have been able to work for and connect with through UrbanSitter. I am very flexible with my schedule and have worked with kids as young as 7months to as old as 10-11 years old. Message me if you have any questions!

“Eliza is amazing!! Very engaging and very intuitive with children. She’s definitely a true gem when it comes to children. Everything just feels natural with Eliza. Our son really fell in love with her, as did we. She was out first sitter from Urbansitter, and we were more than pleasantly surprised.”

Hello everyone !! I'm an experienced and reliable babysitter with more of 5 years of experience. Enjoys working with children and I have excellent communication skills. I'm a former au pair who lived in the city of Cleveland Ohio for one year and then in San Francisco California for one more year. I took care of fours kids in the first place (aged 11 mo, 5 yo, 7 yo and 9 yo) and three in the second one (aged 5yo, 7 yo and 9 yo). I drove them to school, everyday sport activities and mostly played with them in their free time. I prepared meals, helped them with their homework and taught them Spanish as a second language. I'm a native Spanish speaker but also I speak fluent English and intermediate German. In addition, I have no problem working with any pets, since I love animals.

Hi , My Name is Silvia and I’m looking forward to getting to know your family! I love working with children. They are so full of amazing energy and such a joy to be around. I am passionate about children because you can learn a lot from them, like how to enjoy the simple things in life. I have been working with children for the past 11 years. I have worked with all ages from newborn to 16 years old. I love working with children and getting to know them and their individual personalities. I also enjoy watching children grow and learn, helping them as they grow and face new challenges in school and life in general. Anyone who knows me can confirm my love for them. I know how important it is for a parent to trust someone with their kids I'm willing to gain your trust.

“Silvia has been great with our 3 month old boy. She helps us a few days a week for full days, handling everything from feedings to walks in the park, and she's helped get him on a better nap schedule. She's reliable, attentive, and keeps us updated throughout the day. Our son loves her songs and playtime and he always seems to be smiling with her. Would recommend to any family with a baby!”

Hi! My name is Vanessa. I was born in Colombia. I’m 28 years old and I used to me a teacher. I’m offering my services as a caregiver, pet care, senior care and housekeeping. I always like working with kids, since I was a little girl. Back in my country, I study to become a teacher and work with different kids as a teacher and assistant on my internship. I was in charge of feeding the babies, changing dipper from the toddlers, create several activities like sensory games and listening exercise for the toddlers and babys. When I got my degree, I started with older kids. It was more like planning activities according to the subject that the principal assign me. I connect with most kids, I’m funny, responsable, reliable and tolerante. I enjoy doing art, science projects, walks around the park, playing basketball and baking. I’m pretty good at board games too. I grew up with pets my whole life. In my country, I have 12 cats and 2 dogs. I have experience taking care of parrots too, because my aunt have one and we do the feeding together and changing the newspaper. I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets, but my experience is with small pets like poodles or pugs.

“Vanessa is awesome! She arrived at our home on time and jumped right in to take care of our 2.5 year old son. They had a great time playing together, and she left his play area in really clean and tidy condition. She clearly has a lot of experience with kiddos and was super professional. We'd love to have her back. ”

"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)."
