Booked by 2 families in Menlo Park, CA

Hi Families, I am currently a nanny for 3 adorable kids Monday through Friday. I was an au pair for 3 years and a nanny for almost 2 years. I love to work with babies, toddlers and kids. I would describe myself as warm and creative. My time with your kids would be full of playing, reading books, coloring, build little projects etc. Last but not less important I speak Spanish so I try to teach the kids songs, the numbers or things around the house.

Kimberly $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Kimberly! I'm an 18 year old college student currently studying to become a nurse! A little about me: I love painting, being in nature, listening to music, and taking walks in the park. I’ve been babysitting for years it all began when I was 12, caring for my younger cousins and taking them to soccer practice. Through that, I met other families who needed help, which gave me the opportunity to work with many wonderful kids! I also have experience with older children, especially during high school when I worked as a teacher’s assistant. Babysitting is something I genuinely enjoy because I love watching kids grow and develop into their own little selves. It’s a joy to be part of that journey, and I hope to continue making a positive impact in the lives of the families I work with! I currently work at Starbucks, but I'm looking for a full-time babysitting position that allows me to prioritize school once it starts on January 12. Right now, my availability is wide open after 12 PM (I work 3:30 AM – 12 PM), but I’m willing to leave my current job if I find the right full-time opportunity. Starting in January, my availability will change to part-time to accommodate my school schedule. If you're interested or would like to know more, feel free to reach out! Thank you, and have a wonderful day!

"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."
