Booked by 2 families in San Jose, CA

I’m a kind-hearted and easygoing childcare provider who truly enjoys spending time with kids. With 3–5 years of experience, I bring warmth, patience, and a positive attitude to every family I work with. I’m flexible and happy to help with anything — whether it’s playtime, meals, or just being a calm and loving presence. Your children will always be in good hands with me

“Hajar was wonderful! This was our second time working with her, and we were so impressed that she remembered all of our specific preferences from the first session. She is very gentle and friendly with our baby, and we love that she is proactive—she immediately looked for household chores to tackle while the baby was sleeping without being asked. She is also extremely punctual and always arrives a few minutes early. For fellow parents, it’s worth noting that Hajar is currently working on her English, but she can handle basic conversation without any problems. For more detailed instructions, we used Google Translate and everything worked out perfectly for us. Our family truly enjoys having her help. Highly recommended!”

Hi ! I'm Rina, and I provide childcare for children ages 1–13, as well as pet care services. Caring for children and animals has always been a natural part of my life. I come from a big family, so I've grown up surrounded by both ☺️ My childcare journey began at 10 years old when I learned how to care for my nephew, including changing diapers. By the age of 15, I was babysitting regularly, and I've been passionate about working with children ever since. Even at family gatherings, you'll usually find me spending time with the kids! Over the years, I've gained experience caring for children of different ages and personalities. I've also worked as a preschool teacher at the YMCA and completed child development coursework, which has strengthened my understanding of early childhood development. I enjoy creating engaging activities, supporting learning, and helping children build confidence, independence, and cognitive skills in a safe and nurturing environment. Whether you need a dependable nanny, babysitter, or someone to care for your furry family members, I'd love the opportunity to support your family. I look forward to meeting you and creating a positive, fun, and caring experience for your little ones!

“Rina was great! She had so much energy that our son was smiling and giggling the whole time!”

"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."
