Nurturing young minds and supporting families is my passion. For the past three years, I've had the joy of caring for children aged newborn to 11 years. I hold a graduate degree and find fulfillment in fostering each child's unique growth and development. My approach is patient, calm, creative, and friendly. I enjoy playing outdoor sports and educational games. I'm comfortable caring for up to three children and enforcing household rules. To keep you informed, I provide written daily reports, chat during pickup, and send regular text updates. I am also certified in CPR and First Aid. I speak English, Portuguese, and Spanish. I'm excited to bring my experience and dedication to your family, creating a safe and enriching environment where your children can thrive.

Booked by 5 families in Redwood City, CA

Hi- My name is Jala and I just graduated with my Bachelor’s from San Jose State. I am now offering childcare and household services. I love working with kids because it gives me the opportunity to celebrate the little things everyday, whether it's a simple advancement in their learning journey or just watching them smile and play. I first began working with kids when I was 14 at a summer camp, and from there, I began working with multiple families outside of the camp. I have 3-5 years of experience with infants, toddlers and kids (even twins) but for the past 18 months, I have been focusing my care on infants (those under 1). In my spare time, I like to listen to music, spend time with my family and friends and hangout with my dog!

Booked by 4 families in Redwood City, CA

Hello, my name is Marisa. I currently run my own petsitting & dog walking business while nannying part time. I have over 15 years of experience babysitting and nannying, and I enjoy working with children of all ages! I have both personal and professional experience working with children who are neurodivergent, including children on the ASD spectrum and with ADHD. I am patient, caring, and compassionate, and I work well with parents/caregivers to meet the specific needs of their family! I am also skilled in managing school pick-up and drop-off routines for multiple children. In my free time I enjoy hanging out with my friends and cat, going to concerts, going to the movie theater to watch oldies, and playing claw machines at Round1. Please message me to double check availability, as my calendar may not always be up to date. Cancellation Policy: If bookings are cancelled by the parent/caregiver within 24 hours of the start time of the booking, I charge a fee of 50% of the total booking to help offset the loss of wages on short notice.

“Marisa was punctual, responsive and very sweet towards my son! We will be asking for her help again!”

Booked by 8 families in Redwood City, CA

Hi families! My name is Darby, and I’m a caring, experienced early childhood educator based in the Bay Area. I hold a B.A. in Child and Adolescent Development from San Francisco State University, with a minor in Special Education, and have worked with children for over 10 years as both a preschool teacher and nanny. Most of my experience is with children ages 1–5, though I also have about three years of experience caring for infants as young as 6 months old. I’m passionate about creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments where children can learn, grow, and thrive. I take a play-based approach to caregiving and enjoy incorporating creativity, outdoor exploration, and age-appropriate learning into each day. I look forward to partnering with families to provide dependable, personalized care that meets each child’s unique needs.

"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."
