Kate 3 reviews
$22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in South San Francisco, CA

Hi! My name is Kate, and I offer childcare, household support, and pet sitting. I am an experienced and reliable babysitter with several years of childcare experience. I have cared for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, including multiple children at once. I assist with school routines, educational support, creative activities, and daily care. In addition to childcare, I am comfortable helping with cooking, cleaning, dog walking, and errands. I take pride in being organized, trustworthy, and attentive to each child’s needs.

Kate was a terrific sitter for my 3- and 5-year-old boys. When she arrived she immediately engaged them in activities and was so enthusiastic and attentive. She also kept an open line of communication throughout the day, keeping me updated via text- which I really appreciated!

Eva $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Eva. I recently moved to San Francisco after spending six years in Los Angeles. For the past two years, I worked at a private Jewish day school as a teaching assistant and nursery co-lead teacher, where I cared for children ages 2–4 and 6–10. Supporting children's learning, emotional development, and friendships was incredibly rewarding, and I loved helping them grow with confidence and curiosity. Over the past four years, I was also deeply involved in the Orthodox Jewish community, where I spent a great deal of time caring for and engaging with children of all ages through community and family life. Before that, I nannied for a family with two young boys and two dogs for several years during high school, giving me additional hands-on childcare experience. I am warm, calm, patient, and dependable, and I genuinely love experiencing the world through children's eyes. I enjoy creating a safe, engaging environment where children can learn, explore, and have fun. My background in education allows me to incorporate age-appropriate learning, creativity, and emotional support into everyday routines. Outside of childcare, I love cooking, spending time outdoors, and being around animals. I am also a musician, and have been singing and playing guitar for the past 15 years. I grew up playing various instruments, including piano, violin, cello, saxophone, bass, and drums. I am highly organized, efficient, and work well as part of a team. I have a clean driving record and am comfortable driving if a family vehicle is available, although I do not currently own a car.

Kayla $30 per hour for 1 child

As the second oldest of seven children, I have spent most of my life caring for kids. From ages 17 to 19, I was the sole caregiver for my two youngest siblings, then ages 0 to 4, due to an illness in the family. I started babysitting at a young age and quickly built a reputation for being especially good with young children. I went on to work in K-12 summer camps for four summers, then spent two years as a program leader in a K-8 public school afterschool program. During my thirteen years as a flight attendant, I completed annual first aid training, including infant and child CPR and Heimlich maneuver certification. I live in Cole Valley with my small, perfect dog Lola and my partner, who works at a tech start up. I'm reliable, responsible, and very flexible with scheduling. I hold an undergraduate degree in Global Studies and am currently transitioning into education and social impact work. I stay active in the community through food insecurity and youth literacy volunteer programs, as an avid reader, I love to spread my love of books to the next generation! I am a deeply curious and empathic person who believes in meeting someone where they are at and always listening first. I have pets my entire adult life and am also happy to pet sit or take your furry friend for a walk.

"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)."
