Booked by 1 family in Potrero, CA

Hello - My name is Karyn. I have several years of cargiving experience, including; child and nanny care from ages 1 to 13 years old, live in elder care, and pet sitting/dog walking. I feel that work in caring for others where support is needed is one of the most rewarding works that we can do. I also feel that as adults one of the most important things we can do is to help support and shape children into the adults they will become; practicing values, such as honesty and kindness, while honoring the childs path of becoming. I am a nature lover and I will be very happy to play with your children outdoors, sit outside and enjoy a breeze together, or take your furry companion on a walk. I also enjoy to play games, read books, and I love to cook, so I am happy to provide healthy meals according to dietary needs and requests. Please let me know if you have any questions and thank you for considering me for your cargiving position.

Vanessa $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Vanessa and I’m a caring, patient, and reliable caregiver with experience working with children of all ages. I currently serve as a kids’ ministry leader at my church, where I help support and teach young children in a safe, positive, and structured environment. I’ve also been a regular babysitter for several families over the years, helping with date nights, after-school care, and last-minute needs. Because of this, I’m very comfortable with routines, meals, homework help, crafts, bedtime, and keeping kids entertained without screens. Families describe me as gentle, responsible, and easy for kids to connect with. I’m also great with pets and can help with light cleaning while I’m here. My priority is always to make sure your children feel safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I’d love to support your family whenever you need an extra set of hands!

Christine $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Potrero, CA

I am a caring, patient, and dependable nanny with a strong passion for working with babies and toddlers. I began caring for young children at the age of 15, primarily within my family, which gave me early hands-on experience and a strong sense of responsibility. Over the years, I have become confident in providing consistent, nurturing care during the most important early stages of development. I am comfortable with diaper changes, bottle feeding, nap schedules, tummy time, and age-appropriate play. I pay close attention to children’s cues and needs and focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where babies and toddlers feel secure. I understand the importance of routines and always follow parents’ preferences closely. I am patient during fussy moments, gentle during transitions, and attentive at all times. I enjoy reading, singing, floor play, and helping toddlers explore their world safely. My goal is to support each child’s growth while giving parents peace of mind, knowing their child is being cared for with patience, respect, and genuine love.

"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."
