Mina
Booked by 2 repeat families

$35 per hour for 1 child
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!”

Hi, my name is Emily! I am a freshman in college majoring in Nursing, and I have a genuine passion for working with children. I have experience caring for children ages 1–5, including babysitting a 10-month-old, and I’ve also volunteered at a preschool for the past year.

Natana $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Natana, I'm originally from Brazil, I am married to an American and I have a dog who is our beloved son. My fluent language is Portuguese and I am learning English. I am offering child care, elderly care and domestic services. My responsibilities include driving to/from school, crafts, and even dance classes. I also work as a domestic helper and can cook and clean (by the way, I love cooking delicious food and I like to keep everything organized). I don't have experience as a babysitter yet, but I have taken care of my 3-year-old nephew a few times and I really love spending time with children. I have flexible hours and days, I am very punctual and responsible in everything I offer to do. I'm happy to work with families with dogs and cats.

"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."
