Hi! My name is Bella, and I graduated from San Diego State University with a Bachelor’s degree in Education. I have always had a passion for caring for others and making a positive difference in people’s lives. As the oldest of seven siblings, caring for others has always been a natural part of who I am. Growing up, I helped care for my younger brothers and sisters, which taught me patience, responsibility, and compassion from a young age. I’m also a proud mom of two children. Motherhood has strengthened my patience, empathy, and ability to stay calm and attentive in all kinds of situations. Caring for my own children has deepened my understanding of the importance of creating a safe, loving, and supportive environment. I also had the privilege of caring for my grandmother, who lived with diabetes and dementia. That experience taught me the importance of providing not only physical assistance but also companionship, understanding, and dignity. I know how meaningful it is for families to have someone they can trust to care for their loved one with kindness and respect. Whether it’s helping with daily activities, preparing meals, light housekeeping, running errands, transportation to appointments, medication reminders, or simply being there to listen and provide companionship, I strive to create a safe, comfortable, and positive environment. I treat every person I care for as if they were a member of my own family. I would be honored to care for your loved one and provide the same compassion, patience, and respect that I would give to my own family. Thank you for considering me, and I look forward to the opportunity to support you and your loved one

Hi! My name is Zahiya, I’m 25 years old, and I love working with children. I have experience caring for kids through my family and relatives, and I also worked as a babysitter for private families in Lebanon. I enjoy spending time with children, playing with them, helping with daily routines, and creating a safe, caring, and fun environment where they feel comfortable. I am patient, responsible, and dependable, and I always treat children with kindness and care. I speak both Arabic and English, which can be especially helpful for Arabic-speaking families or for parents who would like their children to learn or practice Arabic while being cared for. I look forward to supporting families and providing reliable, attentive childcare.

“Zahiya, was professional, kind, punctual, and a great help during our busy work day.”

"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."
