Jessica 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Jessica. I have over three years of experience caring foggr children of various ages. I am a patient, dependable, and nurturing person who genuinely enjoys helping children learn, grow, and feel supported in their daily lives. I have experience working with private families and in a school setting too, where I worked with children from TK through 6th grade. As a teaching assistant, I helped support children’s learning, encouraged positive behavior, and assisted with age-appropriate educational activities. These experiences have strengthened my ability to create a safe, structured, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and encouraged to develop their skills. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to communicate with and support families from different backgrounds. I am happy to assist with meal preparation, homework, creative activities, playtime, and daily routines for the kid . I have CPR and First Aid certified and always prioritize creating a safe and nurturing environment.I look forward to building a meaningful connection with your family and helping your little ones learn, grow, and thrive.

“Me llena de alegría ver lo buena, cariñosa y especial que es con mi hijo. Como padre, no hay nada más bonito que ver el amor y el respeto que le tiene. Dios bendiga siempre ese corazón tan lindo que tiene y la gran labor que cumples 🙏❤️”

Zulema $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Los Gatos, CA

Hello- My name is Zulema, I am 43 yrs old, married for 22 years and a mother of two (ages 20 and 16). I’m an experienced early childhood educator and parent coach with over 20 years of experience supporting children and families in preschool, early intervention, school-based, and family-service settings. I hold a Master’s degree in Child and Adolescent Developmental Psychology and am passionate about creating nurturing, engaging, and developmentally appropriate experiences for children. My approach to caregiving is warm, patient, and play-based. I enjoy helping children learn through everyday activities, imaginative play, books, art, music, outdoor time, and age-appropriate routines. I understand the importance of supporting children’s social-emotional development, communication, independence, and confidence while also making sure they feel safe, understood, and cared for. I have experience working with children from early childhood through school-age years, including children with developmental delays. In my previous roles, I have collaborated with families, educators, counselors, social workers, and behavioral support professionals. I am comfortable using positive guidance, clear routines, visual supports and calming strategies tailored to each child’s individual needs. As a sitter, I value open communication with parents and will always respect your family’s routines, preferences, and parenting style. I can provide updates about your child’s activities, mood, meals, sleep, play, and any important moments during my time with them. I am also bilingual in English and Spanish and would be happy to support Spanish language exposure if that is meaningful for your family. I am looking for occasional nanny and babysitting opportunities where I can provide dependable, attentive, and compassionate care. Whether you need support for a date night, weekend plans, appointments, special events, or an occasional extra set of hands, I would love to help create a positive and comfortable experience for your child and peace of mind for you.

"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."
