My name is Jamila. I take last minute requests! If you see a time not listed on the booking calendar that you’d like to book, please reach out. I am an honorably discharged Coast Guard veteran. I have experience with high profile families & am happy to sign NDAs. Infants and toddlers are my specialty, but I enjoy working with all ages. I studied sports medicine & child development at Foothill College & go to San Mateo College. I am certified in: community health work, case management, crisis intervention, mental health first aid, domestic violence/sexual assault survivor advocacy, & crime victims rights advocacy. I studied acting at Maggie Flanigan, HB studio, Upright Citizens Brigade, The Linklater Center, & the Barrow Group. I'm an actress/model, & professional painter/artist. I enjoy bringing my creativity to life with my passion with kids through teaching, painting & drawing. I enjoy creative activities like singing & acting if the kids are interested to learn. I started off in the theater as a kid and love sharing my love for the arts with families! I love taking the kids out to movies, museums, or to the park. I’m a member of MOMA, De Young, Cal Academy & Asian Art Museum. I am happy to take your child since my membership makes it free for them! I have a huge imagination & love to play games. I am experienced with yoga. I’m a reiki practitioner & energy healer. I have found kids love meditation and energy work as well. I am currently studying Spanish, Hindi, Japanese, Mandarin, & French & would tutor your children if you like! I am a southern belle and cook many things like Chinese, Indian, Italian, & many soups and pastas. I also love animals. What makes me a great caregiver is that I am creative & passionate about life. I travel & I’ve nannied all over the country. I offer a sliding scale to those self attesting to financial hardship, however my slots fill up REALLY quickly for that. I accept Apple Pay, Cash App, cash payments, or credit paid through the app when I arrive or at the conclusion of the booking. I look forward to working with you & your family! My full & part time availability is on a temporary and occasional basis. If you have longer term needs, please write me directly and let’s work something out. Note: please contact me if you’d like to do a nanny share option. I offer these as well! Note: please let me know if your kiddo/s are sick and I’ll let you know if I can accommodate.

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, 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 20 miles to help you.🤍

Zulema is very responsive, which was super helpful cause we had a last minute need. She's very friendly and our son had a great time with her. We'd love to have her babysit our 2.5 year old 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. 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 was absolutely amazing! Our 11-year-old daughter and 9-year-old twin boys loved her. She baked with my son, and he was so excited and proud of his baking creations. She even turned cleaning up into a group activity and got all three kids to wash the dishes with her, something they rarely do with us. She then took all three to the beach and out for dinner, seizing the initiative to take care of all the preparations, packing a bag with extra clothes, towels, and sunscreen. When we had an emergency and needed her to stay for an extra two hours on short notice, she was extremely flexible and didn't hesitate. At the end of the night, the kids wouldn't let her leave: they kept hugging her, kissing her, and demanding we bring her back. We would absolutely book Mariana again and highly recommend her to any family.

"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."
