Booked by 1 family in South San Francisco, CA

Hi, my name is Phoebe! I’m a San Francisco native and currently a college student in San Diego, where I’m majoring in Quantitative Economics. I have a valid driver’s license, know my way around public transportation, and am responsible, reliable, and easygoing. I’m looking for part-time babysitting, house sitting, and pet sitting jobs. I have experience babysitting for families in my neighborhood, caring for my younger niece and nephew, and tutoring elementary school students throughout high school. I’m happy to help with date nights, after-school or camp pickups, regular weekly care, or coverage while your usual sitter is away. I also have plenty of pet-sitting experience and especially love cats (I have two at home)! I’m also happy to help with dogs, whether that means feeding, walks, or keeping them company. I’m dependable, communicative, and always do my best to make sure kids and pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like a reference. Thank you for considering me!

Hi, Phoebe watched my niece and nephew while my sister was in town so the adults could go out. She was great, friendly, prompt, calm. When we came back house was tidy and the kids were cozy and happy watching a movie. Thank you Phoebe!

Booked by 3 families in South San Francisco, CA

Hi! My name is Molly and I'm looking for childcare opportunities this summer! I have a very flexible schedule during the summer months until school starts up again. During the school year, I work as a garden teacher at an elementary school. I have worked in youth programming in both educational and informal settings, and I love inspiring children to connect with nature and their surroundings. I love animals and am happy to work with families with pets. If this sounds like it could be a fit for your family, let me know! :)

We’ve hired Molly as an extra kids helper for our church’s gatherings multiple times, so we’ve had the opportunity to watch her first-hand with our kids. Molly is on-time, kind, and responsive. She engages with kids in a naturally warm and helpful way, and communicates well with parents and volunteers, too. We'll definitely hire Molly again!

Hi - I'm Megan. I'm in my 30's and am offering child care, pet-sitting and household services. I had a big family growing up - four siblings and over forty cousins. As the eldest sibling, I would often be found changing diapers, preparing meals and keeping my siblings entertained. I've babysat since I was in high school and love children. During college, I was the regular (2-3 times/wk) babysitter of two families. One family I worked with had two wonderful young sons, one with autism and one with ADHD and am well-versed in how to best provide care. In addition to childcare, I am able to assist with cooking full meals and light housekeeping. I have two small chihuahuas and am happy to help with furry friends. I have a car and clean driving record and am able to drive to appointments, activities, or do other transportation-related tasks.

Megan Was punctual and mature. She knew how to engage my daughter well.

"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)."
