Hello! My name is Jimin, and I live in the Bay Area. Recently, I started babysitting my nephew and instantly fell in love with caring for babies. I have a deep passion for nurturing little ones and believe I have a natural talent for babysitting. I care for babies with all my heart, providing them with love and attention.
Hi! I’m Elena. I am a reliable and caring caregiver who enjoys working with kids and creating a safe, positive environment.

I’m friendly, responsible, and easy to communicate with. I’d love to help make your daily routine easier!
“Elena is truly the best of the best when it comes to babysitters! My daughter absolutely loved her from the get-go. Elena has a natural talent for connecting with children and making them feel completely at ease. She's attentive, engaging, and genuinely caring. We've never felt more confident leaving our daughter in someone else's care. Elena goes above and beyond to ensure that every moment is enjoyable and enriching for the kids.

Hello, my name is Natalia. I am a patient, caring, and responsible childcare provider with several years of hands-on experience as a live-in nanny. I cared for an infant from 8 months old for two years, supporting daily routines such as feeding, naps, developmental play, and creating a safe, nurturing environment. I also worked as a live-in nanny for a family with two children (ages 6 and 10) for one year, where I assisted with school routines and daily activities. My responsibilities have included driving children to and from school and extracurricular activities, meal preparation, light housekeeping, laundry, and running errands such as grocery shopping, returns, and car washes. I am organized, proactive, and always focused on helping families maintain a smooth and structured routine. I truly enjoy spending time with children, engaging them in creative activities like arts and crafts, playing, and encouraging their curiosity and imagination. What I love most about children is their honesty and how they constantly surprise us with their unique perspectives. I am committed to providing a safe, supportive, and positive environment where children can feel happy and thrive
“She was very good with my 1 year old son. She took him outside for a walk in the stroller. She played with him, engaged and connected with him. I heard giggles come out of baby and that's always a happy feeling. Showed up on time to work and stayed the full 8 hour assignment. I would hire her again.”
Hi I’m Amra, I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I first babysat when I was around 9 years old, so 11 years ago! I have experience with kids aged 2 and up and that’s what I’m most comfortable working with. I love arts and crafts, sports, tutoring, and video games. I have two cats and one dog so I’m perfectly comfortable with any pet, I can walk, feed, and play with your pets. I can also do household services like light cooking and cleaning, running errands, laundry, and organizing.

"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
