Booked by 2 families in San Rafael, CA

Hi, my name is Joyce, and I'm a dog mom and cat mom. I'm also a daughter of an aging parent, sister, and aunt. I provide babysitting (including for infants and toddlers), nanny, mother's helper, household assistant, senior care, pet care, house sitting, and household services. I've taken care of my niece and nephew from when they were born and throughout their childhoods. I also have experience with infants, toddlers, as well as middle school and high school. I grew up in the same area as my grandparents, and also worked at the senior center in my hometown growing up, so I'm very used to being around seniors. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. (I also love board games and hearing people's stories!) I've been in sales and customer-facing roles most of my life, and I love to make people feel at home and comfortable. I'm an empath, so very attuned to people's emotions. I also love conversation and talking about a wide range of topics. As it relates to pet care: I have a cat and a dog currently, and have also had fish, leopard geckos, and hermit crabs as pets, and volunteered in a Biology Lab with many animals, both mammals and reptiles. As it relates to house sitting: I'm experienced in house sitting, including watching pets while house sitting. I can water your plants, take out the trash weekly, and make sure anything else you need is taken care of. If you'd like help cleaning while you're away, I can do that as well. As it relates to household services: I'm experienced in coordinating repairs and vendors, cleaning, cooking, grocery shopping, organization, cleaning, managing vendors, and planning. I can also do personal assistant projects as well.

Hello dear family, you can call me Ana. I work as a nanny and I already took care of all ages. I was also a teacher to kids from 5 to 10 years old. I love being a baby-sitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, kids(including twins!), teens… I took care of 5 kids at the same time already!! I truly love to play with kiddos, I respect them, and I always use my kindness and positive attitude with them. Nice to meet you. Feel free to reach out💘 Sincerely, Ana.

“Ana was a fantastic babysitter! She is kind, confident, and very capable. Upon arrival, Ana jumped right into playing with our kids and making a simple dinner. When we returned home the kids were asleep and the kitchen was spotless. I hope to hire Ana again soon! ”

Hi, my name is Yuri I've been working with kids since I was 9 years old when my mother immigrated to this country I started to take care of my younger brothers. Since 2010 when I came to the USA I began babysitting kids of different ages. I am a mother of one girl, she is 16 years old now and suddenly she is my best experience as a mother. I do have a driver's license and a car. I'm sure I can be a big help to your family.

“It was a pleasure to have Yuri watch my 18 month old. She not only jumped right in, she organized his closet, helped with laundry without me requesting. Yuri has great energy and is extremely responsible. Can’t wait to have her back soon!”

Hi, My name is Francielly I’m 32 years old, from Brazil. I have been living in the Bay Area since December 2015. I came as an au pair and worked with the same family for two and a half years (and still babysit for them sometimes) The kids were 14months old girl and newborn twin boys when I started. After that in August 2018 I started working with a 8 months old baby as a nanny live out and I have been with them since. After a year we welcomed another baby. I worked for this family for 4 and a half years. Since 2022 I have been working with a family full time. The baby was 2.5 months when I started. I’m flexible and I love to be around kids, specially babies, for me is really compensated to see the babies growing up and learning new things, be able to teach and see them developing its amazing rewarding. I have been babysitting and working with a lot of families and have plenty of experience with infants and toddlers, also I have a few experiences with other kids ages. I’m CPR certified and have all my vaccinations updated. I’m also TrustLine registered. I’m looking for a full time position for September 2024. Thank you Fran

"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."
