Hi! My name is Natalie and am 25 years old. I'm an experienced babysitter with 10+ years of experience who has a passion for child care with a goal of becoming a pediatric nurse. I received my bachelor's of science in nursing this past May at Samuel Merritt University in Oakland and am currently finding occasional babysitting jobs as I study for my state board exam. I wanted to go into nursing because I have always enjoyed helping people. I have always enjoyed working with children, which is why I chose pediatric nursing and why I have always gravitated to childcare jobs. My mom and grandmother owned a daycare for 13 years of my life and I was a big help, so I have experience taking care of newborns all the way to teenagers. I have volunteered during the summer at many camps as a youth counselor. During the pandemic I worked through zoom to provide one on one care with children that needed homework assistance or just virtual playtime. I have worked as an after school instructor at my local elementary school, where I am currently working. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school and sport practices, crafts, bedtime routines, and tutoring. I can also clean, tidy up the house and run errands if needed. My main goal is to always make sure children are having fun in an educational way and providing a safe environment for them. I am a big fan of arts and crafts so I always carry crafts around me in case a fun little activity can be done. I also love pets and take care of them as well! I have had many hamsters, cats, dogs, chinchillas, etc...so I am fine with giving them my extra care. I am also bilingual and speak English and Spanish fluently, and wouldn’t mind giving a little Spanish lesson every now and then. I like to her walk my dogs, do puzzles, and watch movies in my spare time. I am fully vaccinated and CPR certified. I look forward to meeting you! 😊

Hi, I'm Ilene! I'm a San Francisco native, registered nurse, and experienced babysitter currently seeking occasional childcare opportunities on UrbanSitter. As the eldest of four, I've been caring for children since childhood — and professionally since 2015. My nursing background means you can trust that your little ones are in capable, safety-conscious hands. I'm CPR certified, bilingual in English and Spanish, and genuinely passionate about creating a nurturing environment where kids feel heard and valued. When we're together, expect books, educational games, and plenty of fun! I'm reliable, warm, and fully available — I'd love to become a trusted part of your family's routine.

I’m a 22-year-old female nursing student with a strong background in caregiving and child support. I’m CPR certified and have several years of hands-on experience babysitting my younger siblings and cousins, which has taught me how to be patient, attentive, and nurturing. I’ve also tutored children in the past and taken education-related classes toward a minor, which helped me understand how to engage kids in fun and age-appropriate ways, even though I don’t have official certification for it. I have my own car and a valid driver’s license, which makes me reliable and flexible with transportation needs. I’m responsible, empathetic, and genuinely enjoy caring for others — whether that’s kids, seniors, or helping out around the house. I bring a calm, warm energy to any home I work in, and I’m committed to creating a safe and positive environment for everyone I care for.

I just graduated from school with my Doctorate in Occupational therapy and am looking for extra babysitting to help with paying off my student loans. I work in early childhood mental health and school-based OT. I got my undergraduate degree from Southern Oregon University in Ashland, Oregon, with a major in Theater, emphasis in set construction. I also have a minor in Early Childhood Development. Before COVID I worked at Cal Shakespeare in Berkeley/Orinda. I have been working with children for the past 18 years as a date night sitter, a nanny, a childcare worker, and a preschool teacher. I have experience with all ages. I am CPR certified, and I recently just refreshed my certification. I love working with all types of children. I love to play games (inside and outside), watch movies, build forts, and I especially love arts and crafts with the kiddos.
