Booked by 17 families in South San Francisco, CA

Hi families! I’m Alejandra, a Bay Area native, proud mom, and experienced childcare provider with 8+ years of hands-on experience caring for children from infancy through school age. I’ve worked with families in both babysitting and nanny roles, and I truly love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and supported. My experience includes infant and toddler care, school-age care, diapering, bottle feeding, naps/bedtime routines, school pickups, homework help, meal/snack prep, and keeping kids engaged with fun, age-appropriate activities. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your children, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, have a clean driving record, and I’m happy to help with light housekeeping, errands, and family support as needed. Whether you’re looking for an occasional/date-night sitter or a dependable full-time nanny, I’d love to connect and see if I’d be a good fit for your family!

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 12 families in South San Francisco, CA

Hi parents! My name is Chelsea (Yulan). I have 3 years of babysitting experience and a clean driving record. I’ve cared for children of all ages, starting from 3 months old, including those who are sick. I’m also happy to help with pets — walking dogs, feeding them, and more. I’m fully vaccinated, in good health, and can wear a mask if preferred. I’m reliable, responsible, and available for school pick-ups and drop-offs. I can also cook and prepare meals for children. Sometimes I help doing kids laundry as well. I also specialize in evening and date-night babysitting — helping parents enjoy their time out while I make sure everything at home stays calm and safe. Parents often tell me they feel completely at ease knowing I’m there. I’d love to help you enjoy your night out worry-free!

“Thank you so much!! She did an amazing job plugging into our family on short notice and our toddler loved playing with her ”

"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)."
