Hi! My name is Kimberlin, and I am a caring, responsible, and dependable caregiver based in Foster City. I provide babysitting, pet care, and companion care for seniors. I truly enjoy helping others and creating a safe, positive, and comfortable environment for every family I work with.

Fernanda $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! 💛 My name is Maria Fernanda, but you can call me Mafe 😊 I am 20 years old and originally from Colombia. I speak Spanish and I am currently improving my English. I can understand and communicate basic needs, and I am always learning and improving every day. I am a caring, patient, and responsible person who truly enjoys helping others and creating a safe, positive, and respectful environment. I am currently offering services in childcare, pet care, senior care, and light household support, and I am always willing to adapt to each family’s unique needs and routines. While I am new to professional experience, I have developed strong caregiving skills through personal experience supporting family members and being around children. This helped me discover how much I genuinely enjoy caring for others, especially children, by creating a calm, loving, and safe space where they can feel comfortable, happy, and supported. I enjoy spending quality time with kids through activities such as playing, reading, drawing, and going on walks. I am attentive and focused on safety at all times. I am also comfortable caring for pets, including feeding, walking, and playing with them, making sure they feel loved and well cared for. In addition, I am open to supporting seniors with companionship and daily routines, offering non-medical assistance such as light cooking, organization, and small errands. I am happy to help with light household tasks like cleaning, organizing, laundry, and simple meal preparation. I am a non-smoker, pet-friendly, reliable, and always willing to learn and follow instructions carefully. I have flexible availability, including weekdays and weekends, and I am open to trial days to ensure a great fit for everyone. Thank you so much, and I hope to connect with your family soon!

Katie $50 per hour for 1 child

I am a professional childcare provider with more than 20 years of experience working with children from newborns through school age in both private-home and early childhood education settings. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Behavioral Health Science with an Emphasis in Childhood & Adolescence Disorders and am currently pursuing a Master of Science in Leadership. My experience includes newborn and infant care, toddlers and preschoolers, school-age children, multiples, and children with autism, ADHD, PDA, and other developmental needs. I am also a trained Newborn Care Specialist, Infant & Toddler Specialist, 200-hour yoga instructor, and am certified in pediatric CPR and First Aid. I believe children thrive when they feel safe, respected, and understood. My caregiving style is warm, active, developmentally informed, and responsive to each child’s individual personality and needs. I enjoy getting children out into the community, exploring nature, reading, creative play, movement, and creating experiences that support their independence and development. I am available for babysitting, backup care, temporary care, school closures, nanny coverage, and occasional longer-term needs throughout the Bay Area. I especially enjoy developing ongoing relationships with families so children have a familiar, trusted caregiver when their regular care isn’t available.

"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."
