Hi! My name is Jenn and my life's passion and talent is working with children! First, a bit about my experience with kids: I'm a seasoned parent to 22 and 16 year olds who are turning into caring, conscientious and responsible adults who are excellent students with incredible work ethic. I'm proud of raising these two as a single parent! I currently work as a middle school teacher. Prior to that, I ran my own childcare business in my home for toddlers. It was pure joy to work with my little learners and the whole family to create a happy, warm, safe, nurturing environment for them to grow, learn and play! I hold a CA teaching credential and I have taught elementary and middle school grades full time and have subbed K-12. I have the gift of natural attunement to children and connect with them easily and joyfully. I also have the rare ability to work effectively with babies through high school students. I am highly intuitive about children's feelings and needs and I respond sensitively and appropriately. Children simply bring out the best in me! I have an upbeat personality, a playful sense of humor, and children trust me and connect with me easily and with joy. I love discovering/encouraging what interests children have and designing activities or finding books that match their interests. I particularly love helping children connect with nature, both in spending time outdoors and in projects using natural materials. If there is the opportunity, I like to bring these interests to my babysitting work and I also have a huge collection of children's literature and bring books with me to my sits. Further, I am highly experienced in working with children from all backgrounds, cultures and special needs, including autism. Since I've taught early elementary and middle school, I can help with homework if needed. I use a positive discipline approach with my own children and the children I work with. I'm adept at teaching social and emotional skills and I love helping children learn how to communicate and to understand and express their feelings to others including working out conflict as necessary. About myself, I have an abundance of things I love to do, which include healthy cooking, knitting, making jewelry, photography, book club, reading, writing, my pets, and Bay Area fun with my kids! I look forward to working with your family!

“Our kiddo enjoyed her time with Jennifer and asked if Jennifer could babysit again! They did arts & crafts and Jennifer even brought her own books to read to our kid.”

I am A'kila [Uhh-kee-luhh]. What I love most about caregiving is having the opportunity to engage with a warm and loving family. My style of caregiving comes from a place of authenticity. Especially in regards to clients that are disabled. After caring for severely Autistic non verbal clients, I am privy to basic ABA therapy strategies and concepts. As well as navigating AAC devices. Since 2017, I have been caring for children of all ages, races and abilities from the ages of 3 months to 13 years young. Within that time, I have met hundreds of families from all walks of life. If you are hiring based on my experience, please look at my reviews for further insight. If you would like to set up an interview, I request we exchange references, so I too gain more insight as to your family dynamic with other sitters, which will give me an idea if we are a good match. What do I expect from you as a parent? Respect and open communication. It is my goal to work with, not for, a family. I give and put my time and effort into caregiving professionally. It is imperative, from the very start of our correspondence that we maintain a level of transparency , honesty and respect in an effort for us all to ultimately find a good match and waste as little of our time as possible in the process. Thank You, A'kila

“Rachel is a absolute lifesaver! She responded right away to an emergency post I made for next-day childcare and stepped in effortlessly. She is polite, thoughtful, and immediately clicked with our son, Maverick. Even after just one day, I know we found someone truly special. She supported both Maverick and me when we needed it most. Hire her—you won't regret it!”

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"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."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
