Isabella 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Menlo Park, CA

My name is Isabella, I’m Brazilian, and I’m passionate about caring for both kids and pets. I’m responsible, patient, and creative, and I love creating a positive and fun environment for children. I have experience working with kids and currently help care for children at my church, which has strengthened my communication and nurturing skills. I also have experience with pet care and have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to keep pets loved, safe, and well cared for. I’m also preparing to start college to study psychology, as I genuinely enjoy understanding people and helping others. Families can count on me to be reliable, kind, and attentive to every detail that makes their home feel peaceful and cared for.

“Isabella arrived on time to our booking. We booked her services to allow the mom to have time to recover from the day. Isabella held baby with care and she was patient with baby when it was time to feed baby. She asked questions to be able to do the tasks correctly and was a calm presence in the house. Our family recommends her services.”

Kellie $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi I'm Kellie! I have been around kids my whole life and I genuinely love spending quality time with them! I'm a caring, helpful, dependable, and energetic caregiver with a B.A. in Psychology and hands-on experience working with children as an ABA Behavior Technician. I provided one-on-one support to children with autism, helping them build communication, social, and daily living skills while creating a safe, positive environment. I also have over 10 years of customer service experience, which has strengthened my patience, communication, and problem-solving abilities. In addition to childcare, I'm comfortable caring for pets, assisting with light housekeeping, meal preparation, homework help, and creating fun, engaging activities for kids!

Candelaria $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Candelaria, but everyone calls me Cande (like “candy”). I’m the oldest of three siblings and currently a college student at Cañada College, majoring in radiology. Alongside my studies, I specialize in child care and household services. I’ve always loved being around kids! Since I was 14, I’ve cared for children ages 3 and up. I can help with school drop-offs and pick-ups, tutoring, creative activities, and playtime to keep them engaged and happy. I’m also happy to help with household tasks such as cleaning, running errands, doing laundry, and preparing snacks for the kids. I’m very comfortable with pets. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, from big to small breeds, and I love cats too. I’ve never had any issues caring for both cats and dogs. In the mornings, I help one family by preparing breakfast and school lunches, washing and putting away dishes, waking up the child, helping them get dressed, and ensuring they are ready for school. When the mother is traveling, I also take the child to school. For the second family, I care for three children. My responsibilities include picking them up after school, driving them home, and taking two of them to their extracurricular activities. I wait until their activities are finished and then bring them back home. Occasionally, I stay over on weekends to watch the children while the parents are away on trips.

"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."
