Hi ! I'm Rina, and I provide childcare for children ages 1–13, as well as pet care services. Caring for children and animals has always been a natural part of my life. I come from a big family, so I've grown up surrounded by both ☺️ My childcare journey began at 10 years old when I learned how to care for my nephew, including changing diapers. By the age of 15, I was babysitting regularly, and I've been passionate about working with children ever since. Even at family gatherings, you'll usually find me spending time with the kids! Over the years, I've gained experience caring for children of different ages and personalities. I've also worked as a preschool teacher at the YMCA and completed child development coursework, which has strengthened my understanding of early childhood development. I enjoy creating engaging activities, supporting learning, and helping children build confidence, independence, and cognitive skills in a safe and nurturing environment. Whether you need a dependable nanny, babysitter, or someone to care for your furry family members, I'd love the opportunity to support your family. I look forward to meeting you and creating a positive, fun, and caring experience for your little ones!

Hi families! My name is Melody. I’m originally from Germany and have been living in California for the past 7+ years. I’m fluent in English, German and Turkish (and I’m currently learning Spanish on Duolingo!). I bring over 8 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. I’m currently working at a German school teaching German and I also work at a daycare as a childcare provider. Working with children truly brings me joy and creating safe, happy moments for them is what I love most. Families and friends describe me as trustworthy, warm, caring, reliable, and respectful. At the moment, I’m looking for one-time or occasional babysitting jobs, including date nights. I look forward to meeting you and supporting your family!🍀

“Melody was punctual, caring and did not get annoyed by my 5 years old telling her many stories. It was great ! Strongly recommend !”

My mom is the youngest of 10 kids so I grew up always babysitting all my little cousins. That love for childcare developed into working at an elementary school in my senior year of high school and now babysitting as much as I can in my senior year of college at Santa Clara University. I'm good with kids, I'm pretty flexible with scheduling, and I am a great role model and positive influence for all age groups- including my 4 year old brother Ashton :) I am highly capable of any job you can throw at me and I am eager to work! Some fun facts: - I love animals - I paint watercolor - I got all A's last term If you would like to reach me for an interview, please call or text me anytime at: 917 (then) 627 (then) 7627 and I will answer or get back to you as soon as possible. All the best, Nash :)

Over the years, I have worked for two different families as a nanny. I worked with one family exclusively for nearly seven years. I watched the child grow from 9 months old to 7 years of age. It was an incredibly rewarding position for me. We will always have a special bond. I also have experience with senior care. I was the sole caregiver for my own grandmother after she was diagnosed with dementia. I currently look after my elderly mother. I love dogs. I have two of my own. I take great pride in how I care for them. They are senior dogs, but still healthy and active as can be. My strengths are my compassion, empathy, patience, and attention to detail. I have a passion for helping others.

"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."
