$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in San Mateo, CA

My name is Isabella, I’m Brazilian, and I’m passionate about caring for both kids and pets. I’m responsible, patient, and creative, and I love creating a positive and fun environment for children. I have experience working with kids and currently help care for children at my church, which has strengthened my communication and nurturing skills. I also have experience with pet care and have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to keep pets loved, safe, and well cared for. I’m also preparing to start college to study psychology, as I genuinely enjoy understanding people and helping others. Families can count on me to be reliable, kind, and attentive to every detail that makes their home feel peaceful and cared for.

“Isabella arrived on time to our booking. We booked her services to allow the mom to have time to recover from the day. Isabella held baby with care and she was patient with baby when it was time to feed baby. She asked questions to be able to do the tasks correctly and was a calm presence in the house. Our family recommends her services.”

Hi! I’m 28, work in the medical field, and have 13 years of babysitting experience. I’ve grown close with the families I’ve worked with and always aim to make kids feel safe, supported, and heard. I’m used to school pickups, driving to activities, helping with homework, and keeping routines on track. I’d be happy to chat and see if I’m the right fit for what your family needs. CPR certified

“Victoria was amazing with my 3 year old. They played, went for a walk and Victoria had her bathed and in her PJs by the time I got home. Victoria is on it and has great engagement with children.”

"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."
