With over 15 years of experience in childcare, nurturing children has been my lifelong calling, I discovered at just 15 years old and have never looked back. I bring a warm, attentive presence to every family I work with, creating environments where children feel safe, loved, and inspired to grow. Throughout my career I’ve built deep, lasting bonds with families, many of whom I’ve had the privilege of watching grow from the newborn stage into thriving kids. I take pride in being more than just a caregiver; I become a trusted, seamless part of the family. I come with glowing references from past families and am currently accepting new clients. Whether you’re looking for consistent full time or part time care or a reliable professional who understands the unique needs of your household, I’d love to connect

Hi ! I am a 25 year old sitter, with two years of experience caring for infants and 1 year caring for two toddlers and have occasionally cared for kids ranging from 4 - 11. I am CPR certified, have both a clean background check and clean driving record and I speak english and Spanish. I can be ocasional, part time or full time. I am young, energetic and love to be around kids! Their safety and happiness is always my number one priority but also making them feel comfortable and excited to be around me as I always want the kids to not dread having to leave their parents side and thinking of me as a scary stranger. My hope for every parent that meets me is that they can feel my good energy and trust that they are leaving their kids in the right hands and that I will take care of them as if they were my own blood.

Hello! My name is Aylin. I'm a college student attending CSLB online and I’m majoring in child development. I currently work as a campus assistant for an elementary school. I'm really interested in babysitting for you. I'm a reliable, careful, friendly, and responsible person. I'm fully vaccinated. I'm CPR and First Aid certified. If needed I can cook and clean. A little bit about me is that I love working with kids due to me babysitting since I was 14 for neighbors, family members and my mom's day care center. I've babysat from new borns to nine year olds. This sparked my interest for becoming a teacher. I like being a babysitter because it gives the flexibility to work and still be in school.

"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."
