Jessica 1 review
$33 per hour for 1 child

College Educated & Experienced Babysitter Hi, I'm Jessica! I'm a 28-year-old Cal Poly grad with 9+ years of babysitting and nannying experience, including two summers as a full-time nanny. I'm the "fun babysitter who gets things done". Kids get my full attention and energy, and parents come home to a calm, organized house. What I bring to your family: -AP level homework help (math, science, English, etc.) -Activity driven babysitting (screen time is proven to slow down imagination and learning, let’s keep your kids active with playing and activities) -Competitive soccer & tennis background (also I love playing any sport and can help your kid practice) -Meal prep, cooking, organizing, and tidying up! -Drives to activities & appointments -Pet-sitting included -References gladly provided (I just set up my profile so my references will be on my profile soon) I treat every child with kindness, respect, and full attention, creating a safe, supportive environment they'll look forward to.

“Jessica babysat for our two kids (6 and 10 at the time) for about 5 months, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was fantastic with both of them despite their age gap. She was patient and playful with our younger one, while keeping our 10-year-old engaged and even helping with homework. She kept them active and off screens, which we really appreciated, and always left the house calm and tidy. She’s reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about the kids’ wellbeing. We’d recommend her to any family without hesitation.”

Maria $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Maria, and I’m a 23-year-old graduate of the University of California, Santa Cruz. I offer childcare, pet care, and light household support, and I have several years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages. From 2016 to 2020, I taught horseback riding to children ages 4–18, while also babysitting regularly. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I worked as a full-time nanny and homeschool educator for two children, ages 5 and 7, supporting them through online learning. After that role, I served as an Assistant Director for a youth program at UC Berkeley. Throughout college, I also nannied for a one-year-old, gaining experience with infants and toddlers. I genuinely love working with kids and strive to create a safe, supportive, and fun environment where children can feel comfortable being themselves. I have a reliable car and experience with school pick-ups, drop-offs, and transportation to activities. In addition to childcare, I have experience with pet care, particularly cat sitting, and am happy to provide household assistance such as cleaning and laundry as needed. I look forward to connecting and hopefully becoming a helpful and trusted support for your family!

Alsu $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi - my name is Ally, and I studied education at university, giving me a strong foundation in child development and age-appropriate learning. I love working with kids and have cared for three toddlers at once, keeping them engaged, safe, and having fun throughout the day. I’m patient, attentive, and great at turning everyday moments into hands-on learning opportunities. I’m also bilingual in English and Russian, so I can bring some language exposure into playtime if that’s ever useful for a family. Families can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and genuinely invested in their child’s wellbeing.

Claudia $28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in San Francisco, CA

Hello families and all! My name is Claudia, I am 24 years old and looking for my next family/families to support. I am a lover of all kinds; art, music, books, yoga, outdoor activities, and more. My friends describe me as outgoing, friendly, and a true “big sister” archetype. Throughout my life I have been a full time nanny for a range of ages, not only that but I have worked in preschools as well as before and afterschool program directing. Since moving to San Francisco, I established myself through working service jobs and getting to know the community more. And now I feel ready to establish myself within the nannying community as I don’t feel too new to the area anymore! With me as your nanny, caretaker, and familial support, I will not only nurture your child’s growth but I enjoy providing enrichment with art projects, music, and encouraging creativity in the mundane everyday. I am organized and great at keeping a schedule, and can help support you and your child’s schedules (ie: sleep, eating, sports or extra circulars, and more.) Not only that, but if comfortable with the family I am also willing to do fun field trips to the parks, beach, exploratorium or things of that nature! Contact me with more information of you and your child’s needs, and let’s see if we can become mutually beneficial supports to one another!

"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)."
