Hi Bay Area families,🌉 I’m Zu, I’m a mom, a mother’s helper, and someone who genuinely loves taking care of kids and helping families.🤍 I’ve been caring for children for over 15 years and have had the opportunity to help more than 200 families through UrbanSitter, caring for everyone from newborns to teenagers. I was a Sunday school teacher for 8 years as well. I’m the kind of person who likes to jump in and help wherever I’m needed. Need someone to pick up the kids, run to the grocery store, help with potty training, change diapers, clean bottles, do laundry, fold and put clothes away, tidy up, or even make dinner? I’m happy to help. Being a parents is already hard, while juggling with work, life and family, let me help you! And if your kids just want someone to hang out and play with them, I’m there for that too! I love reading, playing, getting outside, doing activities, and just being present with kids. I’m not on my phone while I’m caring for them, and I’m happy to follow your family’s preferences when it comes to screen time and routines. I’m also a mom to a toddler, so I understand how much an extra set of reliable hands can mean. I have a clean driving record, I love organizing and helping manage a home, and most importantly, I really love kids. Oh, and I’m CPR certified! Whether you need a mother’s helper, house manager, part-time help, date-night care, or simply someone to come in and make your day a little easier, that’s exactly what I’m here for. You’ll find someone reliable, friendly, caring, and ready to help wherever you need me. ❤️ I live in San Carlos, and willing to drive up to 20 miles to help you.🤍

“Zulema is very responsive, which was super helpful cause we had a last minute need. She's very friendly and our son had a great time with her. We'd love to have her babysit our 2.5 year old again!”

Hi - My name is Mariana and I’m looking for a 2 part time, weekdays, one in the morning one afternoon, open for a full time was well, and babysitting. I love working with kids and have experience caring for children from 6 months to 11 years old. I’m comfortable with everything from diaper changes to preparing meals, and I bring a mix of fun and learning to our time together — reading stories, coloring, puzzles, going to the park, and even the occasional dance party. I’m responsible, organized, and genuinely enjoy spending my days with kids. I’m CPR certified, a strong swimmer, fully vaccinated, and a safe driver.

“Mariana was absolutely amazing! Our 11-year-old daughter and 9-year-old twin boys loved her. She baked with my son, and he was so excited and proud of his baking creations. She even turned cleaning up into a group activity and got all three kids to wash the dishes with her, something they rarely do with us. She then took all three to the beach and out for dinner, seizing the initiative to take care of all the preparations, packing a bag with extra clothes, towels, and sunscreen. When we had an emergency and needed her to stay for an extra two hours on short notice, she was extremely flexible and didn't hesitate. At the end of the night, the kids wouldn't let her leave: they kept hugging her, kissing her, and demanding we bring her back. We would absolutely book Mariana again and highly recommend her to any family.”

"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."
