Booked by 9 families in San Francisco, CA

Hello, I’m Nancy and I love kids! I am a very reliable, safe, fun former high school teacher (20 + yrs) have also taught preschool and middle school. I’m excellent at caring for children of any age, and I have experience working with children who are neurodivergent. My own lovely daughter is now 23! I most enjoy being a babysitter so I can focus on one or two (or 3) children. I love doing fun and creative things with kids -art, building, dancing, playing games, reading etc. I bring optional art projects and books based on the interests of your child, but I like to follow their inclinations. They always come up with something so interesting. I like to nurture their inner creativity, imagination & sense of self sufficiency. I will follow the routine you set. I continue to work with the families who hired me on Urban Sitter offsite. I am always happy to FaceTime in advance. Thank you for your consideration.

Hi! I have always loved working and engaging with children of all ages. I've been babysitting on and off for kids age 6mo - 12 y/o over the years, including my nephew and friends' children when they need extra backup or simply because I love the 1:1 time with them. I've done sleepover sitting and bedtime routines, school drop off/pick ups, homework help, lots of fun field trip adventures with older kids, creative projects or games at home, etc. I'm comfortable and confident with any aged child. In 2021 I took a professional sabbatical during which time I worked as a substitute teacher with Mission Montessori (for the pure enjoyment of it), working with children 6 months - 3 years old. I have also volunteered as a reading and homework tutor of elementary school-aged children in the past. I'm very good with kids - patient, child-centered and love to make them feel seen and supported emotionally while encouraging their creativity and learning. If you have pets: I’m very comfortable and happy with pets in the home and pet care on a sitting job. Im currently an SPCA dog volunteer so get especially excited about dogs :).

Hello, I'm Sofia! Currently working with a lovely family helping care for their infant daughter (and young doggo!). I completed studies at USF in 2019 with my major in Critical Diversity Studies, and a minor in Legal Studies. I have been a family helper/nanny for over 13 years with children ranging in the ages of newborns to teenagers. I also have worked with six separate families with infant twins, one of which were preemies. I have an excellent driving record in case you are in need of help that requires me to drive. I am a huge animal lover as well, so if you have any pets, I am open to help care for them as well such as walking and feeding them, etc. Currently open to part time work: 1-2 days a week and/or date night help. I cannot commit to specific work days as my schedule varies, but can work with a family that has some schedule flexibility. Thanks in advance! Fully vaccinated & boosted 💉

“Sofia is such a wonderful caregiver; we feel very lucky to have found her to help take care of our baby Grace from 4-6 months old. She is highly professional, knowledgeable about infant feeding and sleeping schedules, and has a very nurturing presence. Sofia was the first consistent babysitter we had, and felt comfortable trusting her with Grace. Sofia took care of Grace at home while I worked from home and took Grace out on walks around the neighborhood so she could have fresh air during the day. In addition, she is wonderful to chat with and learn from. I would highly recommend Sofia to take care of little ones.”

Hi, I’m Cynthia! I’m a reliable, energetic caregiver with years of experience caring for children from toddlers through elementary age kids. I’ve worked with families in both Washington, DC and San Francisco, providing consistent, trusted support for busy parents. I currently work part-time as a consultant, so I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy spending my free time with kids. Caregiving is something I choose to do because I love it—not just as a job, but as a way to stay engaged, active, and connected. I especially enjoy working with curious preschoolers and early elementary kids (ages 3–6 are my favorite!). My style is hands-on and interactive—I prioritize play, creativity, and outdoor time over screens. Whether it’s building forts, doing puzzles and Legos, reading together, or heading to the park, I bring a high level of energy and engagement. I also have some experience supporting children with ADD/ADHD and understand the importance of patience, structure, and positive reinforcement. Outside of caregiving, I’m a long-distance runner and love staying active—something that translates well to keeping up with high-energy kids who enjoy being on the move. I also volunteer as a reading tutor at a local elementary school, which has been a rewarding way to support early learning. (Fully vaccinated and CPR/First Aid certified.)

“Simply wonderful!!”

Hi, my name is Lisa and I am offering child. I am Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certified by the American Red Cross as of Nov 2025, and up to date on flu & Covid vaccines. I’m a dog mom to Callie (featured in my photo) and am a natural care taker. I started babysitting when I was 13 years old and have taken care of infants, toddlers, small children and pre-teens. I enjoy spending time with my friends and their children. In my free time I enjoy being outdoors (hiking, tennis etc), being active (yoga, Pilates), trying new restaurants with friends, traveling, walks with my dog, art, volunteering (tutoring middle school children). * Please note, I’ve returned to families houses for babysitting but via text, so it’s not recorded on the app that I’ve had returning visits. **I accept cash and venmo, but cannot accept credit cards. Childhood development is an area that’s always interested me as I helped care for my sister (who was born when I was 13), and I am considering getting my masters in the field to ultimately make a career transition. Thanks in advance for your consideration!
