Bryn $27 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am an energetic, nurturing and dedicated sitter/nanny who loves working with kids in both academic and recreational settings. I have ample babysitting experience: I have cared for children as young as 6 months, children on the autism spectrum, and have tutored children from elementary school through middle school. I graduated from Elon University in 2022, where I majored in psychology with concentrations in childhood development and business. During my final semester of college, I volunteered as a play therapist at my local boys and girls club, which deepened both my experience and passion for working with children. I have recently returned to school (with a flexible, self-made schedule) and would love to lend a helping hand to parents looking for childcare through the upcoming months. In my free time, my favorite things to do are paint, sew and produce music. I hope to hear from you!

Mariana $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Mariana. I’m open to full/part time care opportunities. I am also available for occasional sitting so please reach out for availability. I have prior experience working at licensed care facilities for UCSF and Salesforce but am looking to transition to personal care after some time off. I am passionate about early childhood education and providing one on one care will allow me to dedicate more time to interact and engage with your child. I also enjoy sharing age appropriate arts and crafts, reading and visiting nearby parks and libraries if permitted. I have prior experience managing daily care needs such as, preparing snacks and following any dietary guidelines set by parents and care givers, changing diapers and assisting with potty training and following nap schedules. In addition to maintaining a safe and nurturing environment, I am open to helping with light household tasks during downtimes and keeping things tidy. I’m like to keep open communication with parents and caregivers to provide the best care and support. Happy to answer any other questions. Best, Mariana

Colette $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! Caring for kids has always been something I truly love, and I bring both energy and responsibility into every family I work with. I’ve had experience with children of different ages, from toddlers to pre-teens, and I enjoy being part of their day-to-day growth — whether that means helping with homework, driving to activities, or setting up fun games and crafts at home. I also have specialized experience caring for kids with unique needs. From 2[removed], I was a caretaker for a girl with Autism, where I focused on creating calm, structured routines while also celebrating her creativity and independence. From 2024 - 2025, I was a caregiver for a young girl with Down Syndrome, and I love supporting her milestones, encouraging her confidence, and finding activities that make her feel engaged and happy. When I’m with kids, I make sure they feel safe, heard, and cared for — but also that they have fun and can be themselves. I’m reliable and organized, so parents can trust that schedules, meals, and routines are handled smoothly, but I also bring warmth and positivity into the home. I believe kids thrive when they know they’re understood and supported, and that’s always at the heart of how I care for them. Along with childcare, I also have experience in senior care, dog sitting, and house sitting. I understand how important it is for families to have someone they can depend on, whether that means providing companionship and support for an older loved one, taking care of pets with love and attention, or keeping a household safe and running smoothly while you’re away.

Navie $28 per hour for 1 child

I graduated in 2024 with a degree in Liberal Studies, with a strong focus on education and child development. I currently work as an English Literacy Interventionist, where I support students in building reading and writing skills through personalized, engaging instruction. I bring over 6 years of babysitting experience, along with 1.5 years working in a daycare setting caring for both infants and toddlers. In the daycare, I was responsible for supervising up to four infants or six toddlers at a time, ensuring a safe, structured, and nurturing environment. My experience extends beyond traditional classrooms, as I’ve worked in a variety of nontraditional teaching and caregiving settings. This has helped me become adaptable, patient, and attentive to each child’s unique needs. I prioritize creating a safe, educational, and fun environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and confident relying on me as a trusted adult. I also have experience caring for both dogs and cats during babysitting jobs and genuinely enjoy being around pets.

"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."
