Hi! My name is Diana, I currently work as an infant teacher at a preschool. Have been working here for 5 years, I love working with kids. I also have 2 fur babies that I love! I love going to spend time with them and going on walks to the beach. I also babysit on the weekends for families from the school whenever I can(:

“As a teacher at our daycare, Ms. Diana did a great job of caring for our baby boy. She led the arts and crafts activities and we always looked forward to our son bringing home a new creative art piece. She is communicative, responsive, and reliable. We look forward to having Diana babysit!”

Alicia $40 per hour for 1 child

I’m a Household Manager and caregiver with several years of experience supporting private families in the Bay Area. I help with childcare, schedules, errands, home organization, and daily routines, always bringing calm, reliability, and attention to detail. I’m naturally proactive, organized, and nurturing. Families describe me as someone they fully trust — dependable, discreet, and easy to be around. I truly enjoy creating a smooth, supportive environment where both parents and children feel cared for. I also have a background in administrative support and digital tools, which helps me stay organized and assist with a variety of household and personal tasks. I’m looking for a long-term position where I can grow with a family and be a positive, steady presence in their lives.

Fulltime Boy/Girl mom while chasing a dream to being a future law enforcement officer, and aspiring first responder. Completed EMT school & currently in the process to start law enforcement. As a full-time mom, I’ve developed strong caregiving skills through providing a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment for my children. I’m compassionate, patient, dependable, and highly organized. I communicate effectively, remain calm under pressure, and adapt quickly to changing situations. Caring for my family has strengthened my ability to multitask, solve problems, and put others’ well-being first—qualities that I believe make me a dedicated and capable caregiver. Certs - BLS & American Red Cross adult and pediatric FIRST AID/CPR/AED - EMT certification

"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."
