Diana $38 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Diana I am 30 years old. I was born and raised in San Mateo. I have worked with kids for the past 10 years from all different ages. I find it very important to always have open communication, honesty and respect in any work place. I enjoy creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children can learn and grow. I love spending time outdoors, planning age-appropriate activities and encouraging children to explore their interests. I am also comfortable helping with daily routines, preparing simple meals, keeping children’s areas clean and organized, and providing transportation when needed.I am CPR certified and have a car of my own and non smoker. At the end I strive for kids to feel safe and loved when they are under my care and for them to know I am here for them and their well being.

Booked by 1 family in South San Francisco, CA

Hi! My name is Sam, and I am a recent college grad looking for some supplemental income while entering the job market. I am great with pets, and have been taking care of my own cat Lou for many years. I have pet-sat for friends and clients for over 4 years, and have experience taking care of pets with medications and other medical needs. With my own cat, I know how important it is to find a flexible and trustworthy petsitter! I am happy to walk dogs, spend time with pets during the day, and feed and care for pets while you are away. My schedule is very flexible, so I have plenty of time to visit your pet during the day or schedule over-night stays during the week or weekend. I happy to adapt to whatever quirks and emotional or physical needs your pet has! If there are any medical needs or personality issues to be aware of, I would love to organize a visit ahead of time to get to know the pet and their home. I am also happy to do other small things around the house as needed, like watering plants or bringing in packages.

“Samantha has taken phenomenal care of my puppy the past few months. She is responsible and respectful and has been a great communicator.”

Booked by 1 family in South San Francisco, CA

Hi! I’m Hudson, and I love working with kids. I’ve spent three summers as a camp counselor leading games, activities, and group events for children ages 5–9, and I also have experience babysitting and helping with after-school care. I’m CPR certified, dependable, and always focused on creating a safe, positive environment where kids can have fun and feel supported. I’m an energetic, patient, and easygoing person who enjoys staying active, playing outdoors, doing crafts, helping with homework, cooking simple meals, and keeping children engaged without relying on screens. I understand that every child is different, and I do my best to build trust while following each family’s routines and expectations.

Jniya $20 per hour for 1 child

I’m a naturally nurturing, patient, and dependable caregiver with real hands-on experience raising my own four-year-old daughter and providing in-home care for my elderly grandfather. I’ve always been the person family and friends call when they need help with children, and I’ve supported kids of all ages, including children with special needs. I’m calm, understanding, non-judgmental, and easy to work with, which helps kids feel safe and comfortable around me. I love creating a positive, caring environment where children can learn, have fun, and feel supported. Families can count on me to be responsible, warm, and fully present.

"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)."
