Hi, my name is Vasty (She/Her/Ella). I am currently a fourth-year majoring in Biochemistry, with a minor in Early Childhood Studies — hoping to pursue pediatric ophthalmology or anesthesiology! Personal hobbies of mine include band, lacrosse, and painting. I’ve been working with children for ~6 years, and have been watching newborns, toddlers, or kids since I was 14. I have a little brother (9) who I help out with consistently, and helped extensively during covid. As a full time student, I tend to help out more with occasional/ date night bookings during the school year but am always more available in the summer time. I enjoy crafting, going to the park, and cooking/baking. My responsibilities have included tutoring, crafts, dance lessons, and several more. 🌟I am bilingual (English and Spanish) 🌟CPR certified for infants and adults. 🌟Can provide references 🌟TB, Tdap, MMS, COVID-19 Vaccinated 🌟CNA, HHA Certified (CA only) I do not have any allergies to any pets. I have a cat so if there are any allergies, please let me know so I can assure no trace of cat hair etc. 🚨Booking Policies🚨 -Cancellations after booking require 50% of pay. Cancellations within 24 hours/same day require 100% of pay. *Applies to last-minute bookings and sick days as well* -Minimum of 4 hours per booking. (Trial runs excluded for this). -Family shares (children from different families) are billed at a different rate. -For jobs over 40+ minutes away, I ask to be reimbursed for travel time. -Full time of booking must be payed for, even if you come home early. -I do not provide transportation with my personal vehicle but I’m happy to drive the guardian/parents car if needed. -I do not care for sick children to protect myself and other children I take care of. This includes children with a fever over 101°F, any contagious virus, and any other symptoms. Thank you for understanding 😊

Vasty was a wonderful babysitter for my son and his cousin! She showed up on time and my 19 month old immediately took a liking to her. She had no problem entertaining both boys, getting them dinner, and putting the youngest to bed. If we lived in the area, she would be our go to!

Booked by 6 families in Petaluma, CA

I’m a devoted mother of two adult children, including a daughter with special needs who was born prematurely. Doctors didn’t expect her to survive, but with my constant, loving care like that of a nurse she grew strong. That experience taught me deep patience, medical awareness, and how to nurture with compassion. I’ve also cared for children and elderly family members, as in my culture we show great respect and love for our elders. Most recently, I cared for a baby here in the U.S., giving me hands-on experience with infants in a new environment. I’m very patient, attentive, and trustworthy. Caring for others isn’t just my job it’s my passion.

Mina is a warm and lovely caretaker. Our 3 year old son took to her immediately. We were working from home while she watched him, and it sounded like they had lots of fun! She took him for walks around the yard and played in the house when he wanted to go back in. Especially when he was a bit sad and missed mom and dad, she comforted him and got him happy again within 20 minutes. We will hopefully be hiring Mina in the future when we are staying in the area!

I’m a doula, Montessori, Waldorf- inspired educator & somatic movement therapist specializing in alignment. My natural experience includes mothering of three school age children including twins. I’ve supported parents in positive parenting and child led learning. My Waldorf inspired experience comes from being avid volunteer at my children’s school as the librarian and supporting the art programs. I hold a MA in Adapted Physical Education and Minor in child development. In addition to helping families with newborns I have been a house/ estate manager overseeing construction, interior design, feng shui, organization and baby proofing households.

Punctual, resourceful, and helpful and engaged my children very well. I was very pleased with Kimberly's assistance and would not hesitate to have her over again.

"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."
