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.”

Hi! I am currently a student at SRJC, working on getting my associates in child development. My babysitting journey began when I was 15, and I've been caring for my younger sister since she was born. She's now 11, and I still spend a lot of my free time with her. -I have my CNA certificate, and am CPR & BSL certified. - If needed, I am willing to provide references. I have experience with children of all ages, from babies and toddlers to older kids. Some of my responsibilities have included: -Driving children to/from the park or sports practices -Engaging in crafts and playing games with the children -Homework Help -Dog sitting -Organizing What I love most about babysitting is the connections I build with the kids and their families. & the fact that I get to meet their pets, I love cats & dogs! I have been fortunate to work with amazing clients, and these relationships have been incredibly rewarding. I look forward to meeting and working with your family!

“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! I also really appreciate the way she helps to clean up after the kids and isn’t shy about getting out the vacuum!”

"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."
