Paul 2 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in South San Francisco, CA

Hi! My name is Paul, I'm 25 and just recently moved to San Francisco from Vermont. I have many years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to elementary aged kids (primarily toddler aged), I bring a patient, friendly, and flexible approach to childcare. I have a college degree in environmental studies, but have worked in early childhood education for the past 3 years. I also have worked as a summer camp counselor and have experience with babysitting. Throughout my time as a teacher I have learned a lot about caring for children, and have taken early childhood education classes to further my knowledge on the subject. When participating in childcare I enjoy playing sports, exploring the natural world, and promoting curiosity within children. I'm a firm believer in making learning fun, and helping guide children through their interests. I'm comfortable with caring for up to four children and hope to create a space for learning, exploration and open communication.

Paul was super sweet with our four-year-old son! Very kind, flexible, and good communicator.

Booked by 3 families in South San Francisco, CA

Hi! I’m Darria, with over eight years of childcare experience. I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, and kids, ensuring they are safe, happy, and engaged—whether it’s pick-ups, playtime, or mealtime. I’m also a great cook and love helping with household chores to keep your home neat and comfortable. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, fun, and dependable caregiver, I’d love to support your family. I look forward to connecting with you!

Darria was lovely. She was so warm and loving towards my 4 month old son, and tidied the house up during his nap without me asking.

Hi parents, I have 15 years experience look after infants and toddlers. I worked as a nurse assistant for nine years. I took care of patients ranging from newborn babies to 15 years old. In addition, I was an au pair and lived with a family in the Bay Area for two years. I took care of their boy since he was eight months of age. After that, I have been working as a full time nanny in San Francisco with several families for about four years. Most of the time I take care of babies ranging from three months to toddlers. I am delighted to contribute to their development and I have thoroughly enjoyed working with previous families. Also, I have excellent references.

She was absolutely wonderful. I was nervous because I only went off of the on review I had seen (which was totally positive) and she surpassed expectations. She was constantly talking to and engaging my 10 month old baby. Not only was she was skilled at caregiving but without asking her to do it my kitchen, living room, play room etc was the cleanest I had seen it. Highly recommend

Hello, my name is Francis, my experience taking care of children has been when I have taken care of my younger siblings, I am the oldest of 5 siblings, I took care of them in each of their stages, I am a foreigner, I come from Venezuela, I am a dentist, I consider myself a very outgoing, multifaceted person. I learn quickly, hardworking. I get along very well with children, animals and why not grandparents I always try to make them happy, if they give me the opportunity I will strive to accomplish everything with the best attitude

Excellent Doggy sitter, she took care of my two dachshunds. My babies were happy and well taken care of while I was away. Francis is an excellent and friendly person, definitely a dedicated sitter. Will definitely get her service again in the future! Thank you!!!

Madeline 2 reviews
$32 per hour for 1 child

Been babysitting since I was 12! I also have worked at a Beach Camp in SoCal for 5 years and worked with kids aged 2-13. I love everything from sports to crafts. I have my own car and am a very safe driver. I am looking for babysitting jobs and nannying.

Maddy has watched my two boys many times over the years, and they are always completely THRILLED when they know she is coming to babysit. She is kind, fun, loving, energetic and excellent at keeping kids of any age entertained. She has taught them all kinds of fun games from her days as a camp counselor and always comes ready to play! In addition to babysitting for date nights, Maddy has watched our boys for extended periods (for example a quick wine tasting afternoon), extended overnights when we are traveling, and also is super helpful as an afterschool pick-up/shuttle between sports and activities. In fact, many parents who meet her at my boys' events inquire about her availability. She is a gem!

"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

"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)."
