Booked by 1 family in San Francisco, CA

Hi, my name is Phoebe! I’m a San Francisco native and currently a college student in San Diego, where I’m majoring in Quantitative Economics. I have a valid driver’s license, know my way around public transportation, and am responsible, reliable, and easygoing. I’m looking for part-time babysitting, house sitting, and pet sitting jobs. I have experience babysitting for families in my neighborhood, caring for my younger niece and nephew, and tutoring elementary school students throughout high school. I’m happy to help with date nights, after-school or camp pickups, regular weekly care, or coverage while your usual sitter is away. I also have plenty of pet-sitting experience and especially love cats (I have two at home)! I’m also happy to help with dogs, whether that means feeding, walks, or keeping them company. I’m dependable, communicative, and always do my best to make sure kids and pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like a reference. Thank you for considering me!

Hi, Phoebe watched my niece and nephew while my sister was in town so the adults could go out. She was great, friendly, prompt, calm. When we came back house was tidy and the kids were cozy and happy watching a movie. Thank you Phoebe!

Hi families! I’m Chaima, a creative, responsible, and energetic professional based right here in San Francisco. I love bringing positive energy and a sense of fun to the families I work with! With a background in running my own small online business and I am a student at CCSF, I am highly organized, punctual, and know exactly how to multitask with a smile. But what I enjoy the most is keeping kids actively engaged! I’m very passionate about photography and art, so I always prefer hands-on creative activities, crafts, or outdoor adventures over just screen time. I’m also multilingual! I’d love to share a fun, multicultural vibe with your little ones. Whether it's a date night or daytime help, I'm here to make sure your kids are safe, happy, and entertained. I can’t wait to meet your wonderful family!

Chaima is an amazing worker and an amazing person. I worked with Chaima as a barista at a cafe - she brought so much positive energy to our team and our customers. She was like working with a rainbow, so thoughtful, kind, and full of sunshine, lifting up everyone around her. As a worker, she anticipated all of our needs without ever being asked to do anything. She’s one of those people who just magically knows how to be helpful. Tasks you thought you had to complete are done before you know it because Chaima surprised you by completing them.

Hi! I’m Olivia, an extroverted and caring person in my early 30s. I’m currently pursuing a second master’s degree in project management. I’m warm, reliable, and genuinely enjoy supporting people and their families in meaningful, everyday ways. --- 🐾 Pet Care I have nearly two years of experience supporting families with both large and small animals. My background includes walking dogs, administering medication, boarding pets, and taking them to parks for playtime. I’m comfortable with most pets, though I prefer not to care for advanced senior animals or those that aren’t potty trained. --- 🧸 Child Care I have over two years of experience caring for children from infancy through their teen years. I especially enjoy engaging toddlers and school‑age kids through outdoor play, board games, creative activities, and baking. I’m fluent in Portuguese and love introducing children to new languages in fun, age‑appropriate ways. --- 👵 Senior Care My experience includes providing personal care and companionship to seniors and individuals with disabilities, including those with autism and Down syndrome. I also spent time in a live‑in volunteer caregiving environment, supporting daily routines, preparing meals, running errands, and offering companionship. I genuinely enjoy connecting with seniors through conversation, shared stories, and puzzles.

Olivia is fantastic! She is always on time, super flexible with scheduling, trustworthy and very Communicative. My 3 year old adores her. She is warm and has a positive energy. I fully recommend her! 10/10!!!

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."
