Booked by 7 families in South San Francisco, CA

Hi! My name is Althea, and I’m a 30-year-old recent nursing school graduate currently preparing for my nursing board exams. I have over 10 years of babysitting experience caring for children of various ages, and I am also a mom to a wonderful 4-year-old daughter. I am patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy working with children. In addition to providing a safe and fun environment, I can help with meal preparation, light housekeeping, organizing, and transportation to and from school, sports practices, and other activities if needed. My background in healthcare, combined with years of childcare experience, has taught me the importance of safety, communication, and compassionate care. I would love the opportunity to support your family and help make your day-to-day life a little easier. I look forward to connecting with you!

“Althea was great! She was easy to communicate with. She helped take care of my 2 year old girl and 9 month old boy while we had to work from home. I kind of threw her into it because I had to get back to my computer for work. But she remembered everything from my very quick introduction. And they actually opened up to her immediately! I’d definitely book with her again in the future. ”

Booked by 6 families in South San Francisco, CA

Hello- My name is Briana and I’m currently employed as a para educator. I work regular school hours, therefore am seeking babysitting opportunities that are in the afternoons on week days and am flexible with the times on weekends. A bit about me is that I am bilingual (English and Spanish), a big time animal lover, and I love the outdoors. I’ve been employed in the school setting for 3 years now and have gained experienced working with students from diverse backgrounds and with a range of learning necessities. I look forward to connecting with your family!

“Briana was fantastic! She arrived on time, immediately connected with our kids, and made them feel comfortable and happy. She’s warm, attentive, and truly engaged — she played with them, spoke to them in Spanish as we requested, and kept everything running smoothly. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. We’d love to have her back anytime! ”

Booked by 4 families in South San Francisco, CA

My name is Sofia, and I’m a rising junior at UC Santa Barbara, home for the summer. I have been babysitting on and off since 7th grade. I’ve worked primarily for three families. The first two roles involved caring for one child each (ages 4 and 6), while the third involved caring for three siblings (ages 2, 5, and 8), including one child with special needs. Caring for an 8-year-old boy with brain cancer, which affected both his physical and cognitive abilities, taught me patience, adaptability, and how to communicate when verbal communication was limited. I also spent three years working as a math tutor at Mathnasium, where I worked with groups of three to four students at a time, ranging from preschool through high school. Managing multiple children at once strengthened my patience, communication skills, and ability to keep kids engaged while adapting to different ages and learning styles. I'd describe myself as creative, which helps me get along with kids. The majority of my experience has been with no-screen families, so I am very comfortable keeping kids entertained with fun activities, imaginative play, crafts, reading, and spending time outdoors. I enjoy finding activities that match each child's interests and energy level rather than relying on screens. Above all, I want parents to feel confident that their children are safe and well cared for. I enjoy creating a fun, engaging environment while respecting each family's routines and parenting style. Whether we're doing crafts, playing outside, or winding down for bedtime, I strive to be patient, dependable, and someone both parents and kids feel comfortable with. I have reliable transportation and am happy to do pickups or drive to activities. I have had my license for well over 3 years. I’m looking for short-term work while I’m home for the summer before returning to school in September, and I have a very flexible schedule. Please contact me with any questions you may have. I look forward to the opportunity to communicate with you and make new little friends!

Booked by 3 families in South San Francisco, CA

Hi! I’m Rachael, a Bay Area native with a degree in Health Education from SFSU. After working in tech, I’m now looking to connect with a wonderful family for occasional, part-time, or full-time care in San Francisco. I have over 5 years of childcare experience and have cared for children of all ages, including infants as young as 3 months. I truly love being part of a child’s growth and development—watching them learn new skills, explore the world around them, and reach important milestones like movement, communication, and trying new foods. It’s incredibly rewarding to support them during these early stages. As an aunt to two nephews, I naturally love being around children. I bring an energetic, nurturing, and attentive presence, always making sure kids feel safe, supported, and engaged. I especially enjoy arts & crafts and love encouraging creativity and self-expression. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to assist with pet care, light housekeeping, meal preparation, errands, and general household support. In my free time, I enjoy hiking and spending time outdoors. Fully vaccinated CPR & First Aid certified

“Rachael is great with both of our girls. 5.5 yo and 16 months. She asks lots of questions, always with a positive attitude and smile. Our toddler took to her with no issue and my older loves doing arts and craft, puppet shows with her. We are excited to have her for a whole month!”

"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)."
