Booked by 1 family in Alameda, CA

Hi, my name is Phoebe! I’m a San Francisco native and currently a college student in San Diego, where I’m majoring in Quantitative Economics. I have a valid driver’s license, know my way around public transportation, and am responsible, reliable, and easygoing. I’m looking for part-time babysitting, house sitting, and pet sitting jobs. I have experience babysitting for families in my neighborhood, caring for my younger niece and nephew, and tutoring elementary school students throughout high school. I’m happy to help with date nights, after-school or camp pickups, regular weekly care, or coverage while your usual sitter is away. I also have plenty of pet-sitting experience and especially love cats (I have two at home)! I’m also happy to help with dogs, whether that means feeding, walks, or keeping them company. I’m dependable, communicative, and always do my best to make sure kids and pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like a reference. Thank you for considering me!

“Hi, Phoebe watched my niece and nephew while my sister was in town so the adults could go out. She was great, friendly, prompt, calm. When we came back house was tidy and the kids were cozy and happy watching a movie. Thank you Phoebe!”

Rocio 2 reviews
$32 per hour for 1 child

I am new to urbansitter app so i will be updating my profile little by little. I am a reliable, compassionate, and hardworking professional with over 10 +years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. I am patient, organized, and dedicated to creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn and grow. I enjoy planning educational activities, reading, outdoor play, and supporting children’s developmental milestones. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, CPR certified, have a clean driving record, and excellent references. Families know me as someone who is trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely passionate about helping children thrive.

“It is my pleasure to wholeheartedly recommend Rocio. She is much more than a babysitter—she is a dedicated childcare professional who becomes a true partner in a child's growth and development. She has been an invaluable part of our family's life, caring for our two children through different stages of their development. With one child now 14 years old and the other 5 years old, she has consistently adapted her approach to meet their individual needs while providing the same level of love, patience, professionalism, and dedication. Throughout the years, she has created a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where both of my children have felt loved, respected, and encouraged to grow. She is dependable, responsible, and attentive, always ensuring that their physical, emotional, and developmental needs are met. One of her greatest strengths is that she is fully bilingual in English and Spanish. She communicates fluently with both children and parents in either language and has provided support to our family in both English and Spanish based on our needs. Her ability to naturally incorporate both languages into daily interactions has been an incredible asset, fostering language development while ensuring clear communication with everyone involved. I'm impressed by her ability to adapt to our family's goals. Whenever we had a learning, developmental, or activity plan for our children, she implemented it consistently and effectively. She followed through with patience, creativity, and attention to detail, making learning enjoyable and part of everyday life. When our needs changed or we wanted to establish new routines and goals, she worked alongside us to develop personalized plans that reflected our parenting values and our children's unique personalities and developmental stages. Her thoughtful guidance and collaborative approach made her feel like a true partner in raising our children. Beyond her experience and professionalism, she has built a genuine trusting relationship with both of my children over the years, and they have always felt safe, supported, and cared for in her presence. She communicates openly with parents and exercises excellent judgment. Her reliability, flexibility, warmth, and commitment have given our family complete peace of mind. Without hesitation, I recommend Rocio to any family seeking an experienced, trustworthy, compassionate, organized, and bilingual caregiver. Any family would be fortunate to have her.”

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
