Alicia $40 per hour for 1 child

I’m a Household Manager and caregiver with several years of experience supporting private families in the Bay Area. I help with childcare, schedules, errands, home organization, and daily routines, always bringing calm, reliability, and attention to detail. I’m naturally proactive, organized, and nurturing. Families describe me as someone they fully trust — dependable, discreet, and easy to be around. I truly enjoy creating a smooth, supportive environment where both parents and children feel cared for. I also have a background in administrative support and digital tools, which helps me stay organized and assist with a variety of household and personal tasks. I’m looking for a long-term position where I can grow with a family and be a positive, steady presence in their lives.

Jessica 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

I have been a child and family therapist for over 12 years. Within my certifications including a Masters in Family Clinical Psychology , my NLP knowledge and background is extremely helpful when communicating with children in a way that is well received, allowing the child to receive guidance in a positive way that builds confidence. For this past 12 years I have been a sitter off and on of my therapy client’s children and also for the children I see in session. It is true joy to be a positive encouraging influence in children’s growth and evolution. I pose lots of importance in quality time, nutrition, physical activity, positive encouragement, and minimal or none screen time.

“I’ve known Jessica for many years, and she is one of the kindest, most caring, and trustworthy people I know. She has cared for both of my children, and I’ve always felt completely at ease knowing they were with her. She is warm, patient, and genuinely attentive, and my family has always had a wonderful experience with her. I’m so grateful for her support over the years, and I would highly recommend her to any family looking for someone dependable and compassionate.”

Caroline $25 per hour for 1 child

I started babysitting when I was a teenager for some extra money. Since then I have taken care of children on and off throughout my life. I was a nanny for two boys ages 1 and 3 until they were 4 and 6. I loved watching them grow up and being part of their journey, helping them navigate lives up and downs and teaching them the skills to do this. I have babysat infants from 6 months old, toddlers, kids and teenagers. I am extremely organized and good at multitasking which is a huge help when watching multiple children and juggling all that comes with that! I am very clean and have no problem helping with household chores while I helping with childcare. I am also a big animal lover-I volunteer at a animal rescue and ride horses as well. I have a reliable vehicle and have no problem putting a car seat in it to pick up little ones and take them to activities or back home. I would love to be a part of your families journey for even a day, please contact me for more information!

Mayra $25 per hour for 1 child

My name I’m Mayra. I’ve worked with children for over 16 years through San Diego Unified School District, and I’m currently a Moderate–Severe Special Education teacher. Most of my experience is supporting children with autism, developmental delays, and behavioral needs but honestly, I just really love kids. I’ve also worked in behavior support, helping children feel safe, understood, and successful in their day-to-day routines. I’m calm, patient, and very comfortable handling big emotions, transitions, and different learning styles. On a personal level, I’m a mom to a 15-year-old with autism, so this work is close to my heart. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your child, especially when your child needs extra support or structure. I’m currently working on my Doctorate (Ed.D.) in Education, but at the end of the day, what matters most to me is creating a safe, fun, and supportive space where kids feel happy and cared for. I’m reliable, attentive, and always meet kids where they are. I’d love to support your family and get to know your little ones.

"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."
