Booked by 1 family in Los Gatos, CA

Hi! My name is Eva. I’m a 29 year old based in the Bay Area, and I currently care for 3 different families on a regular basis. I’ve been babysitting for the last 3 years, with sporadic childcare experience for 15+ years before that, caring for kids as young as 3 months old to 10 years old. I also have four years of experience caring for and teaching four to six year olds and high school girls at my church, and I’ve watched my nieces, cousins, and younger siblings, including taking them to school, extracurriculars, and appointments. I tutor in French, Math, and English as well. I have my own car with a clean driving record and no accidents, so I’m safely able to drive children if needed. I love pets and am very comfortable around them.

Booked by 3 families in Los Gatos, CA

Hi, my name is Laura, I’m 34 years old and originally from Germany. I recently moved to the Bay Area together with my husband. I speak German, English, and a little Spanish. I’ve always enjoyed caring for children - I’ve looked after my sister’s little one, my two godchildren (twins), and other kids from family and friends. I also have experience teaching both individual and group tutoring sessions, so I’m comfortable managing several kids at once and happy to help with homework and studying. Families know me as warm, kind, and dependable. I love spending time with kids - whether it’s playing, reading, helping them learn, or coming up with fun activities. I’m also glad to help with errands, cooking, meal-prep or house-sitting, so you can feel completely at ease when I’m around. I’d love to support your family and make things a little easier for you!

“Laura is wonderful. She was on time and super great with our six month old. Our baby seemed comfortable with her right away. She played with her, got her to sleep, fed her, and took her on a nice long walk. I’m so glad we found Laura! ”

"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."
