Booked by 10 families in Menlo Park, CA

My name is Shaelie, and I am a graduate of Cal State Monterey Bay, where I earned my degree in Social and Behavioral Sciences. I have about 12 years of babysitting and nannying experience working with children of all ages, including infants and early elementary–aged kids. Over the past few years, my professional work has also involved supporting children and families through community outreach and family services, which has allowed me to continue working closely with kids and strengthening my skills in communication, patience, and child development. I just moved to the Bay from Monterey, I would love to return to nannying, sitting, and working more directly with families again. I take a gentle, thoughtful approach to childcare and enjoy creating engaging, age appropriate activities that support children’s development while making each day fun and meaningful. I value open communication with parents and strive to create a calm, supportive environment for children to grow and feel confident. I am fully vaccinated, have my own reliable car, a clean driving record, and I’m comfortable driving children as needed. I also love pets and am happy to work in homes with animals.

“Shae was absolutely amazing with our shy 18mo and kept her cool despite our girl being fussy. She’s super easy going and willing to help out with other tasks around the house proactively. Absolutely would love to hire her again. Highly recommend!!”

"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."
