Hi, dear family! My name is Evilyn, I am 25 years old and I am from Brazil. I have experience with childcare for all ages for at least 5 years, but I have much more experience with toddlers and infants since I was an Au Pair and took care of to kids from 0 to 3 years old. I am affectionate, easy going, helpful and energetic. I am certified in First Aid and CPR. Also, I have my California driver's license, so I am available to pick up and drop off children.

Hola I'm Nancy and I am looking for an extended family to work with. I have worked with various families over the past 20 years. I have been exposed to the Montessori style. I have lots of experience with new parents solo or in a nanny shared. I have care for newborn babies and their needs until school age. I myself have 3 children of my own, whom I raised with the great families I worked with in the past. I like taking walks on the beach, listening to Disney songs, and have walks on a rainy day. My kids are now 16, 18 and 24 yrs old. I'm very reliable, responsible, stern, caring, flexible and I also have great references from my current and previous families. I’m searching for a family whose looking for an extended family to rely on. Gracias, Nancy

“Nancy was a nanny for my son (now 2) and also helped with my five year old. She is capable, experienced, conscientious, trustworthy communicative and entirely focused on the well-being of the child. She always came up with thoughtful activities for our kids and was very caring with them. She can cook for them and also is a dependable driver. Feel free to have Nancy put you in touch with me personally if you would like to chat further about her!”

Hi! I’m Neelu— I have experience caring for children in creative, educational, and home environments, with a background in Montessori learning. I’ve worked with children ranging from toddlers to elementary age and am comfortable supporting full evening routines, including meals, bath time, and bedtime. I bring a calm, attentive, and nurturing presence, and I enjoy engaging kids through art, outdoor time, creative play, and age-appropriate learning. I value creating a warm, structured environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to explore. My experience includes: • Montessori teacher’s assistant (Rising Star Montessori) • Childcare for multiple age groups • Cooking simple, healthy meals • School pick-up/drop-off • Arts & crafts, tutoring, and creative activities I’m also happy to assist with light household tasks like tidying, cooking, and errands as needed. I’m reliable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy building positive, trusting relationships with both children and parents. I look forward to connecting with you!

“Neelu is one of the most dependable, thoughtful, and caring people I know. She has a natural ability to connect with children through patience, creativity, and genuine attentiveness. Kids tend to feel comfortable around her very quickly, and she does a wonderful job creating a calm, engaging environment where they feel safe and supported. She's responsible, communicative, and always follows through on her commitments. Whether helping with activities, meals, bedtime routines, or simply spending quality time with children, she brings warmth, kindness, and a positive attitude. I would feel completely confident recommending Neelu to any family looking for a trustworthy and caring caregiver.”

Hello! My name is Wren I've been caregiving for pets, kiddos, people with social needs, and seniors my whole life! I started petsitting when I was 8 years old, and nannying when I was 11. I worked with seniors with dementia while in school to get my degree in social work, and worked as a full time social worker for years until I realized I prefer a varied schedule and hands on caregiving. I am very artistic and creative and love doing art with kids or special needs adults. I also love organizing and interior design to help make a space work for a persons individual needs. Thank you for considering me!

“Wren has done a great job sitting for my two cats. I have one indoor and one outdoor and I always feel at ease leaving them in Wren's care. The cats have grown to love Wren, as well! I definitely recommend Wren as a reliable, thoughtful sitter.”

"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."
