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.”

Booked by 1 family in Lafayette, CA

Hello! My name is Jenna and I have been working with children for over 15 years. Most of my experience has been with infants and toddlers, but I enjoy working with kids of all ages. I also have experience working with special needs, and my background in Nursing has aided me in nannying for children with Cerebral Palsy, Epilepsy, and Autism. When I am babysitting, I enjoy taking kids to a local park, doing crafts, or cooking up something tasty! In my free time, I enjoy hiking and camping.

“Jenna is an amazing caregiver. My son had so much fun with her and we will definitely book her again! She did a lot of fun activities with him and when I showed up he was even wearing one of the costumes he loves. Highly recommend ”

Booked by 7 families in Lafayette, CA

Hi! My name is Yasmine. I have hands-on experience working with children as a daycare assistant, where I helped with daily routines like feeding, playtime, and nap schedules. I love creating a safe, caring, and fun environment where kids can feel supported and thrive. I'm currently taking a class to become a hairstylist and working on getting my CPR and First Aid certification. I'm always looking to grow and learn new skills—especially ones that help me care for others. In my free time, I enjoy going to the gym, reading, spending time with my family, and deepening my relationship with God. I also love animals and would be happy to help care for family pets! I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy caregiving—whether it’s for children, seniors, or pets. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and make your child’s day a little brighter!

“Yasmine is wonderful. She was so engaging and confident with our kids and jumped right in to get to know them and play with them. Our toddlers really loved having her here. And she tidied up our home too. She has a very calm and caring presence. We will definitely be reaching out to Yasmine again in the future.”

"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."
