Jamila | Infant, Toddler, Childcare Specialist | Rapid-Response Backup, Last Minute Care Hi, I’m Jamila! I specialize in rapid-response backup, occasional, temporary, recurring care for infants, toddlers, and busy executive families across the Bay Area. I have experience nannying all around the USA- in NYC, Hawaii, Arizona, Los Angeles, Portland OR, and Las Vegas. Why Families Hire Me: Background and Safety: Honorably discharged U.S. Coast Guard veteran. Experienced with high-profile/corporate families; fully comfortable signing NDAs. Specialized Education: Child Development, Physical Education, Business, and Sports Medicine coursework (Foothill College); certifications in Community Health Work, Case Management, Social Work, Crisis Intervention, Peer Support, Mental Health First Aid and Reiki. I am trained in sexual assault and domestic violence survivor advocacy. I am a classically trained actress with studies in LA and NYC, a military trained public affairs specialist and also briefly attended The Art Students League in NYC, the Stanford Summer Session, and Parsons University for fine art. I currently attend San Mateo College. I am a double major in arts/media and sociology. I studied child development, sports medicine, physical education and kinesiology at Foothill College, before transferring to San Mateo, with a 3.87, and made the Dean’s List. Engaging and Creative: I bring age-appropriate art, museum trips, and interactive learning to every shift to keep children active and engaged. My education in child development and art keeps my childcare fun, yet educational for the children. I have been doing theater since I was 4, so I understand the importance of the arts in childcare. I also am studying Hindi, Urdu, Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, and Egyptian Arabic in my spare time. I’m happy to tutor your children in languages and art. I am a member of SF MOMA, Cal Academy, Chinese Historical Society & De Young. I am happy to do museum field trips. Booking & Availability: I take last-minute requests and short-notice shifts! If you need coverage for times not currently listed on my calendar, message me directly. Note: I accommodate short-term and occasional coverage, as well as nanny-share setups. Please notify me in advance if your child is sick so we can discuss proper care arrangements. Please note I have a 4 hour minimal booking requirement. You are welcome to book less hours, but I still require a minimal pay equivalent to 4 hours.

(Quick note: I am currently working with a family Tues-Th, so I’m not available those days). Hi Bay Area families,🌉 I’m Zu, I’m a mom, a mother’s helper, and someone who genuinely loves taking care of kids and helping families.🤍 I’ve been caring for children for over 15 years and have had the opportunity to help more than 200 families through UrbanSitter, caring for everyone from newborns to teenagers. I was a Sunday school teacher for 8 years as well. I’m the kind of person who likes to jump in and help wherever I’m needed. Need someone to pick up the kids, run to the grocery store, help with potty training, change diapers, clean bottles, do laundry, fold and put clothes away, tidy up, or even make dinner? I’m happy to help. Being a parents is already hard, while juggling with work, life and family, let me help you! And if your kids just want someone to hang out and play with them, I’m there for that too! I love reading, playing, getting outside, doing activities, and just being present with kids. I’m not on my phone while I’m caring for them, and I’m happy to follow your family’s preferences when it comes to screen time and routines. I’m also a mom to a toddler, (my boy Santi), so I understand how much an extra set of reliable hands can mean! I have a clean driving record, I love organizing and helping manage a home, and most importantly, I really love kids. Oh, and I’m CPR certified! Whether you need a mother’s helper, house manager, part-time help, date-night care, or simply someone to come in and make your day a little easier, that’s exactly what I’m here for. You’ll find someone reliable, friendly, caring, and ready to help wherever you need me. ❤️ I live in San Carlos, and willing to drive up to 15 miles to help you.🤍

“Zulema is incredible! She was well organized, arrived early with activities for our children, and kept them engaged for hours. And the children absolutely loved her! We’ll definitely use her again!”

Hi - My name is Mariana and I’m looking for a 2 part time, weekdays, one in the morning one afternoon, open for a full time was well, and babysitting. Start in November I love working with kids and have experience caring for children from 6 months to 11 years old. I’m comfortable with everything from diaper changes to preparing meals, and I bring a mix of fun and learning to our time together — reading stories, coloring, puzzles, going to the park, and even the occasional dance party. I’m responsible, organized, and genuinely enjoy spending my days with kids. I’m CPR certified, a strong swimmer, fully vaccinated, and a safe driver.

“Mariana is an excellent babysitter. She is extremely professional and courteous. She’s experienced, confident, and communicated very well with our five year old daughter who is looking forward to playing with her again. She arrived a few minutes earlier and immediately dove in and engaged with our daughter. We are looking forward to having her babysit our daughter soon.”

Booked by 3 families in Atherton, CA

Hi, I’m Andreina, a 36 years old caregiver based in Redwood City with a genuine passion for supporting families in their daily lives. I bring over three years of hands on experience working with children of different age groups, from toddlers to teens, always prioritizing structure, clear communication and a positive atmosphere. One of my favorite things is guiding children to develop their intuition, helping them go beyond what their eyes can see and trust what they feel inside. I love incorporating movement and dance into our time together, as a way to express emotions, shift energy and bring joy into everyday moments. Beyond childcare, I have solid experience in pet care, animal behavior and training. I have a natural ability to read energy and communicate with animals on a deeper level, which allows me to truly understand their needs and keep them calm and balanced. I’m detail-oriented, dependable and grounded in values like healthy living and mindfulness. I believe that truly caring for a family means showing up with integrity every single day. Whether you need help with your little ones, your pets or household tasks, I’m here to make your life a little easier. Let’s connect!

“Recommended 100%, Andreina is a rocket. She puts our kids down very fast, she's very nice, has a healthy style of living. Loves our girls and pets which is amazing because our pets and girls love her too. I trust her and love her passion for her job.”

"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."
