Hi families! My name is Melody. I’m originally from Germany and have been living in California for the past 7+ years. I’m fluent in English, German and Turkish (and I’m currently learning Spanish on Duolingo!). I bring over 8 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. I’m currently working at a German school teaching German and I also work at a daycare as a childcare provider. Working with children truly brings me joy and creating safe, happy moments for them is what I love most. Families and friends describe me as trustworthy, warm, caring, reliable, and respectful. At the moment, I’m looking for one-time or occasional babysitting jobs, including date nights. I look forward to meeting you and supporting your family!🍀

“Melody was punctual, caring and did not get annoyed by my 5 years old telling her many stories. It was great ! Strongly recommend !”

Hi, I'm Alejandra. I have a strong background in childcare, with experience as a private nanny and as the director of a licensed home family daycare in California. I've worked closely with infants and toddlers, creating safe, structured, and nurturing environments that support healthy emotional, physical, and cognitive development. Recently, I decided to close my daycare to begin a new chapter focused on my education. This change allows me to offer my time and dedication to a few families. •Experience with infants and toddlers • Educational and sensory activities •Strong communication with parents •Knowledge of child development and first aid If you're looking for a trustworthy, loving nanny with real experience and a passion for child development, I'd be honored to support your family

"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."
