Booked by 27 families in San Francisco, CA

Hi families! I’m a Duke University & HBS graduate with 15+ years of experience caring for children from newborns through elementary age in both caregiving and educational settings (tutoring in Montessori school settings). I believe every child is unique, with their own temperament, routines, interests, and ways of communicating. My approach is to meet each child where they are, pay close attention to what helps them feel secure and engaged, and adapt my care to support their individual needs and development 🌱 I’m CPR and First Aid certified, fully vaccinated, and highly attentive to health and safety. I also have experience caring for infants and toddlers with severe allergies, including following EpiPen and emergency-response protocols. I offer occasional family support in San Francisco alongside my full-time career. I genuinely love partnering with families and supporting kids as they learn and grow through each stage of their development! 🤍 * Mission-based * 4 hour minimum bookings * Not available for full-time care

“Amir was our daughters first babysitting experience. She was great with her! Kept her engaged with activities. My daughter, 5 yr old, learnt new things to draw and she has been asking about when she would see her again. Recommending Amir for anyone looking to book a sitter. She is friendly and so sweet! We would hire her again”

Looking for a new baby to love and sing to; but still available for date night/overnights/weekends. My last baby just started daycare. We were together for almost 2 years. Her development is up to 6 mos. ahead of normal. I miss her tremendously but know I'd love to have another new little person in my life! I prefer 2-3 full time days a week but will discuss other ideas. I have some Early Childhood Education at city college and a bibliography of almost 50 titles about Early Childhood Education. I focus on fun, Learning, music, movement, literacy and outdoor adventures. Resourceful and reliable; I'm willing to pitch in to help families with my renaissance skill sets. I have great references and often continue as needed for the children until they are early teens. Thank you and I look forward to meeting with you!* I have a degree from University of Buffalo in Human Services. Some Early Childhood Education from city college of San Francisco *Please note, I only check my messages in the early morning and not at night when you might want to book for the next day. While I can do occasional gig work, I prefer regular jobs. Thank you!

Hi! My name is Hue (or Emily). I’ve been working with a family in the Panhandle since their baby girl was 8 months old, she’s almost 5 years old and at preschool now. I’ve been with them for 4+ years and am currently looking for a part-time or regular babysitting jobs to fill the hours while she’s at school. I have over 10 years of experience caring for infants and toddlers. I’ve worked with single families, nanny shares, and siblings. The youngest baby I’ve cared for was just 2 weeks old. A typical day with a baby includes breakfast, a bottle before the morning nap, lunch with solid foods, and another bottle before the afternoon nap. During the day, I incorporate indoor activities like music, reading, and helping develop motor skills such as crawling, standing, and walking. I also make it a priority to get outside every day - whether it’s going to the park or library for story time - so they can get fresh air, build social skills, and interact with other children. I make sure everything related to the child is clean and organized, including diaper changes, washing bottles, preparing meals, and bathing before parents get home. I’ve had the joy of supporting many important milestones, such as crawling, first teeth, introducing solid foods, sleep training, standing, walking, and nap transitions. While there can be challenges - like sleep training, feeding transitions, or adjusting schedules - I’m patient and experienced in helping both children and parents through those stages. For toddlers, I help with daily routines such as breakfast, snacks, playground time, story time or music classes, lunch, and naps. I also assist with dishes and laundry when needed. I truly enjoy spending time with kids and building a strong, caring relationship with them. I love keeping children active with outdoor activities like going to the park, scootering, biking, and dancing, rather than relying on screens. I also enjoy cooking healthy meals for kids (such as meatballs, beef, salmon, and chicken), and I’m happy to help with light household tasks like dishes, laundry, and organizing children’s spaces. Please feel free to reach out if you think I might be a good fit for your family. Thank you so much!

Hi, I’m Laura! I’m a professional nanny with nearly 10 years of experience caring for children from infancy through school age. I’m CPR certified and committed to providing safe, nurturing, and engaging care where children feel supported, confident, and encouraged to learn and grow. Throughout my career, I’ve supported families through many stages of childhood, with extensive experience caring for newborns and infants. I’m comfortable establishing and maintaining routines, supporting developmental milestones, tummy time, developmental play, naps and sleep routines, introducing age-appropriate activities, and implementing therapeutic exercises under professional guidance. I also have experience caring for multiple children at the same time. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and communicative, and I truly value building trusting, long-term relationships with both children and parents. I have strong references from families I’ve worked with over the years, including long-term relationships that have continued beyond my time working with their children. I enjoy keeping children active and engaged through walks, parks, classes, library visits, and other age-appropriate outings and activities. I speak both English and Spanish and enjoy creating a warm, organized, and positive environment where children can thrive. I’d love the opportunity to support your family!

Hello, I’m Alyssa. I am 36, I currently work as a lead 3/4 year old teacher through UCSF. I have over a decade of experience babysitting and nannying through urbansitter and I have 4 years of experience teaching in a preschool classroom. I have a double major in Human Development (BS) and Psychology (AB) from UC Davis. I also possess an Associate of Science degree in Early Childhood Education and 8 Associate of Arts degrees. I have current infant first aid and CPR certification as well as trust line (fingerprinting) certification. My upbringing prepared me for a career in childcare. I was raised the oldest female of thirteen cousins and often helped cook, change diapers, and care for my younger cousins with my grandmother every day after school. Caring for children from a very early age helped equip me with a variety of tools to approach children with patience, creativity, warmth, and kindness that I employ every day when I work with children. While I was in college, I nannied with children 1-on-1 for 7 years and I worked as a library aide for 5 years. In the past I volunteered for 8 years coaching volleyball and basketball to 3rd-8th graders, and volunteered for 2 years as a 1st grade English tutor. I began babysitting when a family from work asked me to help watch their three children. I also have lots of experience watching twins and their sibling simultaneously. You can probably tell from my extensive schooling background that providing quality education is one of my core beliefs. It is vitally important for me to contribute to shaping children’s growing minds in environments that are supportive, constructive, and open to letting children try different approaches to learning where they are allowed to fail and grow from their mistakes. I love encouraging literacy, teaching through songs, scaffolding how to try new things on the playground, creating art projects, and incorporating gross motor activity to stimulate retention in the classroom. Thank you for reading and looking forward to hearing from you soon! I have a 24 hour cancellation policy - I will charge 50% for the cancelled booking with less than 24 hours notice. I have multiple references for cat, dog, reptile, and house sitting. I also have references for doing overnight care & before/after school drop-off.
