Hello! I am currently a student at San Francisco State University pursuing my degree in Elementary Education. I also hold an associate’s degree in Child Development and am excited to apply the knowledge I’ve gained through hands-on experience while caring for your kiddos. I have worked with children ages 1–10 since I was 15, and working with kids is truly my passion! I love creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment where children can learn and grow. I’m happy to help with light household tasks and always prioritize making sure your kiddos are happy, healthy, and having fun. I also have no pet allergies and enjoy spending time with furry family members!
Hello, I have many years of experience as nanny and mother’s helper! Besides child care I can also assist with a variety of tasks such as laundry, dishes, organizing, meal prepping etc. I can provide my references, background check and ID if we decide to move forward. Many thanks and looking forward, Sandy
As a professional nanny, I have been working 15yrs+ caring for newborns, toddlers and older children. Presently, I am working part time for families on Urbansitter while taking some time to care for my elderly mother and grandson. In addition to my responsibilities with the care of the child/children, I can also help with light household chores, cooking/meal preps, drop off/pick ups, groceries, errands and homework. I have a BS degree from UCBerkeley in social welfare, a child development certification throughout the Girl Scouts of America, a CPR certification, a good driving record and my own transportation. I am up to date with my flu, have received my Covid (fully vaxxed), TDAP and MMR booster. I speak English, French, Vietnamese and a little Spanish. I am available for overnight care and willing to travel. I have my passport and Global Entry card. Please see my reviews on the Urbansitter s platform.
“Katherine was wonderful and very experienced with infants. She took care of my 3 month old son and he was so happy and relaxed with her. I would love to hire her again!”
Hi - My name is Mariana and I’m looking for a 2 part time, weekdays, one in the morning one afternoon, open for a full time was well, and babysitting. Start in November I love working with kids and have experience caring for children from 6 months to 11 years old. I’m comfortable with everything from diaper changes to preparing meals, and I bring a mix of fun and learning to our time together — reading stories, coloring, puzzles, going to the park, and even the occasional dance party. I’m responsible, organized, and genuinely enjoy spending my days with kids. I’m CPR certified, a strong swimmer, fully vaccinated, and a safe driver.
“Mariana is an excellent babysitter. She is extremely professional and courteous. She’s experienced, confident, and communicated very well with our five year old daughter who is looking forward to playing with her again. She arrived a few minutes earlier and immediately dove in and engaged with our daughter. We are looking forward to having her babysit our daughter soon.”
[no availability] Hello Families, My name is Lia, and I’m a 31 year-old childcare professional living in San Jose with my husband, two hamsters and a Dalmatian dog. I used to work as full time nanny and then during the week as an early childhood afterschool instructor for the past 3 years but I transitioned back to child caregiving recently. I’m passionate about supporting children’s growth and development, with over 10 years of experience caring for kids of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. Why Families Choose Me: -Over 10 years of childcare experience, including newborns, infants, toddlers, and pre-teens. -5+ years of experience in the U.S., with a focus on nannying, teaching and occasional babysitting. -Master’s in Early Childhood Education. -First Aid, CPR and Mandate Reporter certified with annual update training. -Fluent in Portuguese and English, with conversational Spanish. -Comfortable with swimming pools, pets and providing light housekeeping (vacuuming, laundry, simple meal prep). -Experience with exceptional needs in both home and classroom settings. A Little More About Me: -Newborn Care Specialist certificate (but I rarely take care of newborns since I also work with school aged kids and need to be mindful of illnesses). -Fully vaccinated (COVID, flu, Tdap and others), boosted, and happy to wear a mask as needed. -I do not drive children, but am happy to assist with local activities and walking distance school pickups if needed. -I bring a nurturing, creative approach to caregiving and enjoy helping kids learn through play and exploration. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and help your children thrive. I look forward to connecting with you soon! Thank you for considering me. Best, Lia

"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."
Michelle R., mom of two
"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."
Milena L., mom of two
"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."
Heather B., mom of two
