Laura Sofia $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello, dear future families, My name is Sofia, I’m 22 years old, and I bring over three years of hands-on experience caring for babies and children of various ages. My approach to childcare is built on love, joy, patience, and unwavering support, values that guide me in creating a nurturing and positive environment for every child I care for. What I love most about this work is being part of a child’s journey as they grow, learn, and begin to understand and express their emotions. Every day is different, some filled with joy, others with challenges, and I’m here to support them through it all with calmness, empathy, and good communication. I’m also an excellent cook, a confident driver, and a strong swimmer. I’m very active and creative, and I love organizing engaging activities, from story time sessions to fun adventures at the park. My goal is to make each day enriching, safe, and filled with joy. I look forward to the opportunity to support your family and help your child thrive! Warmly, Sofía

Eliana $30 per hour for 1 child

I'm a creative and friendly childcare provider passionate about supporting families and providing reliable care for children. With two years of experience, I'm comfortable caring for one child at a time. I follow the parents' lead on household rules and ensure a safe and nurturing environment for your child. I love playing outdoor sports, physical games, board games, and puzzles with children. To keep you informed about your child's day, I provide written daily reports, verbal communication at pickup, and regular updates via text or phone call. I have some college education, am CPR and First Aid trained, and have a car. I'm also comfortable with pets and am willing to help with light housekeeping. If you're looking for a caring and responsible childcare provider, I'd love to discuss how I can support your family.

Booked by 1 family in Petaluma, CA

Hello! My name is Giovanna, and I currently work in childcare. I have experience with babies, toddlers, and children up to 10 years old. I’m patient, responsible, and truly enjoy engaging with kids through reading, playing, drawing, and other creative activities. At the moment, I take care of two children — one 2 years old and the other 4 years old — so I’m very comfortable with all daily childcare tasks. This includes preparing and serving meals, changing diapers, helping with potty training, bathing, getting them dressed, playing, reading books, planning creative activities, going outside, and following nap and bedtime routines. I always follow the parents’ instructions and respect each family’s routine. I would be happy to support your family and care for your children with attention and dedication. I’m new to this platform, so I don’t have reviews yet, but I’m looking for an opportunity to show my work and build trust. I can also provide references upon request. In addition, I’m available for babysitting for special events, date nights, or occasional needs. Thank you, and I hope to hear from you soon!

“Giovanna was great with my kiddos! She was immediately able to win over my younger one and my kids enjoyed playing games and building forts with her. We’ll definitely have her back! ”

"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."
