About the company

Founded by working parents, UrbanSitter is creating the world's first childcare marketplace where parents and babysitters meet through shared connections. We're providing flexible on-demand solutions for families, while helping babysitters find jobs beyond their neighborhood block.

UrbanSitter uses the social graph to help parents pinpoint babysitters who have been hired and reviewed by friends, parents from school or work, and trusted local organizations like parents' groups. Our sophisticated search algorithms, real-time scheduling tools and online payment technology bring efficiency to an otherwise old-fashioned process.

UrbanSitter is located in the heart of the Financial District in San Francisco. We are a Series C company venture-backed by First Round Capital, DBL Investors, Menlo Ventures, Rustic Canyon Partners, Canaan Partners and Advanced Venture Partners. Our company offers competitive salaries and benefits that include comprehensive health coverage, stock options, quarterly babysitting credits and a wide variety of social team events. UrbanSitter was named 2014 Best Consumer Application or Service in the San Francisco Business Times Technology and Innovation Awards, and recognized as San Francisco Magazine's 2015 and 2016 Best Babysitting Service. We are experiencing an exciting period of growth and count 30+ dedicated team members supporting the tens of thousands of parents and sitters that rely on us to help them every single day.
