Hello families! My name is Maricela, and I have over 5 years of experience caring for children, from infants and toddlers to preschoolers. I have a background in Early Childhood Education, with coursework in Child Growth and Development, Child, Family and Community, Early Childhood Education Programs and Curriculum, and two courses focused on Infant and Toddler Development and Care. Through my education and hands-on experience, I earned my California Child Development Associate Teacher Permit. I truly enjoy helping little ones learn, grow, and feel loved through play and everyday activities. I’m patient, kind , and attentive to each child’s needs, and I always strive to create a safe, nurturing, and happy environment. I would love the opportunity to support your family! :)
“She has very a charming and positive personality, very easy to connect and communicate with. She also picks up things fast and does a solid job with my son. She also lets me know when is too much for her. I think she’s a rare find, her energy and quality matches my son!”
I’m 22 years old and a mom of two, with 6+ years of experience caring for kids of all ages. I’m CPR certified, reliable, and have strong communication skills. I love having fun with kids—whether it’s crafts, teaching new things, playing outside, or going on hikes. I’m patient, responsible, and always focused on creating a safe, positive environment for every child.
“Samantha is a natural caregiver. Her warmth and friendliness made it so much easier for me to leave the kids, something I usually struggle with as a mom. She immediately put everyone at ease, and when I came home, the kids were smiling and happy. As an added bonus, she had cleaned up, swept the floor, and washed the dishes in the sink. We felt truly cared for, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.”

“We love Cass! She took care of our two boys (5 and 1.5) all summer, and she is now our go-to nanny. She’s so easy to work with, very open to feedback/collaboration, a great communicator, and loves our boys, which is the best!

"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."
Michelle R., mom of two
"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."
Milena L., mom of two
"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."
Heather B., mom of two
