Hello! I have ample experience working with kids in various settings ranging from outdoor education, working in schools, babysitting, camp counseling, and tutoring. I believe in child growth and development through play and fostering social and emotional learning. I have several years of experience with all ages ranging from 6 months old to 17 years old. I am also CPR certified and have my Wilderness First Responder Certification. I have a clean driving record and reliable transportation. I believe that previous families that I have provided care for would describe my personality as empathetic, kind, and patient. In my spare time, I love all outdoor activities and am passionate about cooking and crafting! Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions, I look forward to connecting!

Hi! I'm a recent UC Santa Cruz graduate with a degree in Psychology. I’ve always loved working with kids, and during college, I gained hands-on experience at a daycare where I learned how important patience, safety, and fun are when caring for children. That experience, along with my studies in child development, inspired me to start this babysitting service. I’m reliable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy helping kids learn, play, and grow. Whether you need a sitter for after school, weekends, or the occasional night out, I’m here to help. I’m also planning to go into healthcare, so caring for others is a big part of who I am. My goal is to create a safe, happy environment for your child—and peace of mind for you.

“Kaia has always been great with kids. She has babysat for cousins, and through her school, kids ranging from 2-14 while she was in high school. In college, she worked in the childcare at her local gym as she worked towards her psych and human development degree. She is reliable, on time, uses common sense and critical thinking, and builds rapports with kids easily.”

Hello my name is Sydney and I’m currently a Junior attending Cal. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I love being with children and have been watching toddlers and kids for four years now. I am relatively new to watching infants, as I’ve only done it for a year. My responsibilities have included crafts, cooking, driving to/from activities, tutoring, and even sports coaching. I also enjoy taking care of pets as well. I have three dogs of my own, all different sizes so I am comfortable with all dogs. As for cats I’ve never owned one, but I have watched and cared for a few for days at a time. With that in mind, I am aware that the household chores come with it. I can clean and run errands as needed. I have no allergies and excited to work with families!

"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."
