Hi families! 🤍 My name is Leslie, I am born and raised in the Bay Area. I’m a triple major in Child and Adolescent Development and Double concentration in Information Systems & Decision Sciences at San Francisco State University! (Finished December 2024🎉). I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and welcoming environment for children. I believe children teach us valuable lessons in countless ways! My experience includes volunteering in a K-12 after school program and caring for family members from toddler through their early teens. Some duties included: Assisting them with homework, making sure they are safe on the playground, playing games/board games, and assisting with snack/lunch time. I also have worked with families for weekly scheduled times. Duties included pick up from school & driving them to their after school sport activities! On occasions, helping with bedtime routines. As for pets, I’ve been surrounded by them my entire life, both in my own home and while helping care for the pets of family and friends. I also have experience pet-sitting for families and truly enjoy forming bonds with furry companions. Thank you for considering me to support your family’s needs. I look forward to the opportunity to connect!😊 **I have my own transportation**

Hi, I’m Alejandra, I have a degree in physical education, recreation and sports. I have more than 6 years of experience working with children. If you are looking for a reliable caregiver who will create a friendship and good connection with your children, I will be more than happy to meet your family! About me I am seeking to provide all my knowledge in childcare. I am affectionate, loving, and sweet with them. I love doing recreational activities with children according to all my learning in pedagogy. Each experience is important and unique in children's childhood. I love doing indoor activities such as painting, dancing, creating imaginative games, playing house, tea, making tents, puzzles, tile games, and many more activities according to their ages. I also love to complement the day with outdoor activities, going to the playground, scooters, sports, soccer, basketball, volleyball, tennis, skateboards, riding a bike, exploring nature, walking, taking them to activities, bubbles, chalk on the floor, hide and seek, etc. • I would like to help you with all the children's chores, such as washing clothes, preparing meat snacks, cleaning toys and playrooms, and washing bottles. • I’m experienced in bathing, feeding, and ensuring their daily routines are handled with care and attention. • I’m CPR/first aid certified, • I have my vaccines up to date • driver’s license. • I love pets.

“Alejandra was wonderful with our toddler from the moment she arrived. We recently had our first paid interview with Alejandra. She was kind and warm, quickly getting down on the floor to play animal puzzles with our toddler. Her creativity shone through as she introduced different ways to play with the play food kitchen. Alejandra kept our little one thoroughly engaged with a coloring activity and reading books. Alejandra was also proactive during lunch and made the nap time transition smooth and easy. Our toddler even said 'night night 'Jandra' as she said her goodbyes, which melted our hearts. The time flew by as she kept our toddler entertained, allowing us to focus on reorganizing our house. We will definitely be hiring Alejandra again for babysitting!”

Hi! I’m Amarilis. A few facts about me: I’m very crafty, I love nature, space, the ocean, anything peaceful I enjoy! I’m 25 years old, I grew up in the Bay Area, I was born in Oakland and raised in San Francisco. Both my parents are from Guatemala so I am open to speaking Spanish! I graduated in Spring 2024 at SFSU with a Bachelors in Psychology with a Minor in Health Education. I have worked with children for about 5 years, I have prior experience working at a pre-school and home sessions, as a teacher assistant, Behavior Therapist and now im currently working as a Bilingual Early Intervention Therapist. I have experience working with ages range from 7 months- 12 years old. I’ve always held a passion in helping kids from all age range while being a facilitator. My current role allows me to grow and work with kids and families who are experiencing delays through child-led play. I love working with kids and seeing their potential and I believe they deserve patience to learn and grow.

“Amarilis was super friendly, approachable, and punctual. Our daughter warmed right up to her and had a blast drawing and playing games while we were out. Will definitely hire 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)."
