Kaia 1 review
$28 per hour for 1 child

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.”

Ana $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello everyone! My name is Ana, and I am 42 years old. I am currently looking for a nanny position. I am a mother of two children, one is 12 years old and the other is 2 years old. In addition, I have experience caring for infants and toddlers. I truly enjoy being around children, spending time with them, and supervising them as they play, learn, and grow. Being a mother myself has helped me become very familiar with the routines, habits, and needs of toddlers and young children. I have a valid driver’s license and experience safely driving children while following all necessary precautions. I also enjoy cooking and light cleaning. Thank you for your time!

Booked by 4 families in Hercules, CA

Hello, my name is Dajanna, and I am a dedicated professional currently expanding my knowledge as a student at CCC. I am fully bilingual in English and Spanish, allowing me to communicate effectively with diverse families and children. With 5 years of experience in childcare, my passion lies in nurturing the development and well-being of young children. I currently work as a preschool teacher and also offer reliable babysitting services on the weekends. I hold current CPR certification for infants, toddlers, and adults, ensuring I am prepared to handle various emergency situations with competence and confidence. My responsibilities are changing diapers/ clothes, preparing/ giving snack out, nap time, supervision. I pride myself on being a highly flexible individual, readily adapting to the unique needs and schedules of each family. My services extend beyond direct care; I am comfortable assisting with light housework and reliably driving children to and from school. I am also completely comfortable with pets in the home. I am a trustworthy person who approaches every child I work with, whether in the classroom or as a sitter, with deep care, respect, and professionalism. I am committed to creating a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where children can thrive. I look forward to the opportunity of working and meeting your family! 😊

“Dajanna was great with my kids! She kept them entertained, handled dinner, and put them to bed with ease. Very communicative and easy to work with. Will definitely recommend her to anyone!”

"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."
