Olivia $32 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Olivia, and I’m currently looking to fill my morning availability from 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM, with a little flexibility until 8:30 AM if needed. I’m also available for evening shifts from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM. If your family needs help with early mornings, evenings, or simply a reliable caregiver before or after work, I’d love to help! I’m passionate about creating a calm, safe, and positive start to each child’s day. I believe every child is unique and deserves care that fits their individual personality and needs. Whether it’s helping with morning routines, preparing breakfast, reading books, or keeping little ones engaged before school or daycare, I strive to make mornings as smooth and stress-free as possible for both children and parents. I value open communication, reliability, and building trusting relationships with families. My goal is to provide dependable care while creating a warm, supportive environment where your child feels comfortable, confident, and ready for the day ahead.

$45 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Santa Clara, CA

Hello! I am a college student with a degree in Early Childhood Education and Psychology and am also a Certified Nursing Assistant. I am furthering my education and pursuing a degree in Elementary Education as well. I have had numerous babysitting and nanny jobs and have previously worked as an infant and toddler teacher at well known, top daycares in the area. I have worked with children ranging from infants to preschoolers and older! I specialize in infant and toddler care, am able to work with multiples, knowledgeable in developmental milestones and have worked with HNW and high-profile families. I love interacting and engaging with children and would love to help parents out with their little ones! • Infant / Child / Adult CPR and First Aid Certified • Vaccinated and Boosted (COVID, Flu, Tdap etc) • Clean Driving Record (I drive the children in my care to parks and libraries everyday!) I have also received 30+ five star reviews from previous families I’ve worked with on my Care profile!

“We needed a last minute sitter for our 11 month old and Jeany came to the rescue! After a quick phone call, I could tell she was very knowledgeable and comfortable around babies. She came over for a meet and greet before the sit started and immediately jumped right in to change a dirty diaper! She fed our son bottles & solids, put him down for naps, took him on walks and kept him happy and entertained the entire day! We don’t use hired/outside care takers very often, but I swear he didn’t even miss us :) It was so easy to work with Jeany, we would love to have her back soon! ”

"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."
