Danyil $30 per hour for 1 child

I was born in Ukraine and moved to the U.S. six years ago. Such an experience that taught me patience, adaptability, and how to connect with people from all backgrounds. I started babysitting my cousins at age 10 and have loved caring for kids ever since. I'm warm, energetic, and a strong communicator, and children naturally warm up to me. I currently work at an elderly care home, where I've built close, loving relationships with the residents. Caregiving is truly something I'm passionate about at every stage of life. I'd love to bring that same energy and care to your family. Being kind makes me happy

Dilornie $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello Families! My name is Dilornie and I am 18 years of age, recently moved to San Jose from Seattle, Washington. I’m looking for opportunities as a babysitter because I enjoy taking care and watching children grow in their own unique ways. I have been a babysitter since the age of 13, starting within my own family care, watching my little siblings and my older siblings kids; ranging from an infant all the way up to 8 year olds. I never thought of babysitting as a job, babysitting has always been something I truly enjoyed. I am also someone who enjoys keeping and maintaining a clean environment for your children while cooking to make sure that they get all their nutrients! In addition to babysitting, I am open to senior care. I have been caregiving as well for 1-2 years, taking care of my own grandparents back home in Seattle, and I truly value my time spent taking care of the elderly. I would be more than grateful to have the opportunity to support and be there for your family!

Hi! My name is Sara, and I am a college student pursuing a career in healthcare. I am currently enrolled in a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) program and am passionate about helping others through compassionate, dependable care. My long-term goal is to continue my education in the healthcare field, and I enjoy gaining experience working with people of all ages. I have over two years of experience working in a pediatric clinic, where I have developed strong communication, organizational, and caregiving skills while working with children and their families. In addition to my professional experience, I have spent many years helping care for my younger family members, which has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of creating a safe and supportive environment. Outside of school and work, I enjoy spending time with family, staying active, and finding ways to help others. I am reliable, caring, and attentive, and I strive to make those around me feel comfortable and supported. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing meals, engaging in fun activities, assisting with daily routines, or simply being a positive role model, I am committed to providing quality care and building trusting relationships with the families I work with. I look forward to the opportunity to support your family and provide a safe, caring, and dependable environment for your loved 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."

"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."
