I strive to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported.

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!”

Hi there! I’m a warm, reliable, and experienced nanny with over 8 years of childcare experience. I’m currently working in a nanny share for infants/toddlers in San Francisco and I’m open to part-time or full-time opportunities. My background includes working with children from birth to age three, with a focus on early intervention. I also have experience supporting children with special needs from infancy through the teenage years. Over the years, I’ve worked with families throughout SF, including the Richmond, Lower Haight, and Sunset neighborhoods, as well as in Portland through the agency A Brilliant Nanny. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Healthcare Communication, which supports my strong communication and caregiving skills. I love being active with the kids I care for, especially playing outdoors and encouraging movement and exploration. Phone number is[removed]

“Crystal is warm, friendly, assertive while respectful, and professional. My 19-month-old toddler took to her quickly and they could interact right away—always a great sign! Thank you so much for spending the morning with us, Crystal!”

"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)."
