Alma $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi I have worked with children in the preschool setting and day care centers for 7-9 years with ECE units and CCTC permits in Redwood City. Also I have a BA in Education and Education units from Notre Dame in Belmont. Currently, I am a Guest Teacher for the Redwood City School D. and I am going on my 6th year with the district. I enjoy working with school age children as they can express what they are learning and ask so many questions around their learning. I love and learn from other Teachers and Trainings that the school offers as it keeps me growing in the Ed. Field. I am caring and dedicated to what is my passion and working around children. I am bilingual in Spanish as well with references. Looking forward in meeting new families in the Redwood City area.

Caring for children has been part of my life since I was young, and it's grown into both a passion and a profession. I bring both an academic foundation — a Bachelor's degree in Human Services from Utah State University, with coursework in Communicative Disorders and Psychology — and 7+ years of hands-on experience to everything I do, giving me a real understanding of how children develop, communicate, and grow at every stage, from infancy through age 13. My time as a Behavioral Technician, supporting children with autism, taught me patience, consistency, and how to truly meet a child where they are. Day to day, I provide attentive, nurturing care: infant routines, meal and snack prep, homework help, school pick-ups and drop-offs, age-appropriate activities, and light housekeeping. I'm CPR/First-Aid/AED certified, have a valid driver's license and reliable vehicle, and I'm looking for a long-term, full-time position through payroll where I can bring both my heart and my training to a family who wants a consistent, trusted caregiver. 🥰 Resume & References available upon request

“Lily has helped as me as a mother’s helper for the last two years for my 3 children ages 3-8. She is warm and caring with our whole family and genuinely loves kids. She goes above and beyond to help me keep the house in order, whether that’s cleaning or helping the kids eat their dinner. Her communication is always open and receptive with our needs and her own. We are beyond blessed to have found someone so genuine and professional!”

Jessica $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jessica, I'm 24 years old, and I'm currently earning my Master's degree in Clinical Psychology, specializing in LMFT/LPCC to become a therapist. I have classes in the evenings, so I'm available during early mornings and afternoons. I've been babysitting since I was 13 and have worked as a full-time nanny for four children, so caring for kids has always come naturally to me. I bring an empathetic, patient, and nurturing approach to everything I do. I live a very active, healthy lifestyle - I love working out, going on walks or hikes, cooking, and spending time outdoors. I'm dependable, always on time (usually early!), and bring a positive, outgoing energy to any environment. I truly love helping others and creating a fun, safe, and supportive atmosphere wherever I go.

"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."
