Booked by 10 families in South San Francisco, CA

Hello Everyone! 😊I am a bilingual (Chinese and English), energetic, and genuine sitter who loves caring for children! I am here to offer childcare household, and pet services. I am ready to take on any task you hand my way! 🤗 I've previously worked at a summer camp for children aged 6-13. Here a few of responsibilities included: watching children, disinfecting classrooms before and after snack/ lunchtime, and communicating child's concerns with parents. I have also babysat for family members in the past (Toddlers- Elementary school aged). So I have experience changing diapers, working with shy children, playing engaging games, and having a fun time! 😄 I also enjoy playing sports, a few of which include: baseball, softball, golf, and basketball. I am always excited to indulge in a high intensity activity, or a calm night in. I am also highly skilled in cooking, and love creating delicious and unique dishes. If you would like to do an interview prior to hiring, I am also open to that. P.S: I am only available during the summer months (May- Early September).

Angela was great! Good communicator and thoughtful. Would work with her again!

Hello! My name is Karla, and I am a dedicated and responsible caregiver with experience in babysitting, adult care, pet care, and house cleaning. I have worked with families and individuals, I was aupair for 2 years in USA. I truly enjoy working with children and adults. I’m also passionate about pet care, making sure that dogs receive the attention, love, and exercise they need. Additionally, I have experience in housekeeping, maintaining homes tidy and organized. Over the years, I have developed strong skills in newborn care, including feeding, diaper changing, and soothing techniques. I’m also experienced in engaging toddlers and older children in age-appropriate activities that promote learning and creativity. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing fun activities, or ensuring a structured routine, I always strive to meet the unique needs of each child. I’m reliable, patient, and detail-oriented, always making sure to meet the needs of those I work with. I would love the opportunity to help your family!

Blended into our family immediately. Truly a professional. Incredibly helpful and intuitive. I have a 5 and 21 month old and she was able to cater to each of their needs, and mine by helping clean up the kitchen!

Hi - my name is Sinead, I am Irish and have lived in the US for 9 years. While I am new to Urban Sitter I am not new to babysitting. Currently nannying for a sweet 14 month old on Tuesday’s and Thursday - would love to find more work on Monday, Wednesday and Friday! I love being a babysitter and have been watching toddlers and kids since I was 15 years of age. I have worked with children from many different ages - infants up to teenagers. I am an auntie for five wonderful nieces and nephews so I understand how busy family life can get. Ive worked in many different industries over the years so I am no stranger to work as a household assistant and can cook, clean and run errands. I also happy to work with families that have animals.

Hi my name is Laura I’m 28 years all, get the best out of myself and I try to teach them to do their best. It is a very rewarding job. I like to do activities outside such as reading, dancing, practicing and learning other languages. Also I like to do excercise, ride a bicycle, listen to English music, swimming, cooking, driving, visiting museums and having art exposure, culture and fashion; I love nature and travel.

Laura helped us for back up care for our regular nanny. My daughter warmed up to her easily, and they had a great day together. It's clear Laura knows how to navigate early toddlerhood, and I was able to have peace of mind as a WFH mom.

"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)."
