Hi my name is Debb!! and I am 28 years old with a true passion for caregiving and supporting families. I find it deeply rewarding to be a helping hand to those who need it most, and I view every opportunity as a way to put my skills, compassion, and dedication into practice. I am a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) with a current BLS certification and over 8 years of hands-on experience working with patients. My goal is always to build trust with all family members, ensuring they feel cared for, respected, and valued. I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and cautious in following caregiver protocols, while also being quick to learn new procedures. Flexibility is one of my strengths, and I am available to step in as needed and adapt to changing schedules. In addition to my healthcare background, I also have experience as a babysitter and youth mentor!. I’ve worked with children in church worship groups, served as a chaperone on field trips, and created safe, nurturing environments where children feel supported and engaged. I am patient, loving, and a great listener, always striving to meet both the needs of parents and children. With my combined experience as a caregiver, Cna , and babysitter, I believe I would be an excellent fit for your family’s needs. My mission is not only to provide quality care but also to be a trusted friend who ensures your loved ones feel safe, supported, and cared for at all times. I also love animals! And have cats and dogs of my own so I know how important they are to the family. I can also help out with pet needs as well I also have my own car and can drive your kids to anywhere they need to be taken. I am a responsible driver and have experience of driving around people to where they need to be. I do it all the time. Rest assured I am a careful driver.

Booked by 4 families in Santa Clara, CA

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, my name is Vivi and I have been an after school teacher for over five years, working primarily with elementary aged children. I currently work with a Palo Alto based program that provides structured and professional after school care. I bring that same level of structure and consistency into the home by supporting children after a full school day with homework help, emotional regulation, and calm routines that help evenings run more smoothly. My approach works especially well for elementary age children and older toddlers who benefit from guidance, predictability, and positive reinforcement. I have child development units and a strong understanding of age appropriate behavior, transitions, and social emotional development. I am CPR certified and comfortable responding calmly in emergency situations. I value clear communication, reliability, and building trust with families, and I enjoy working with parents who appreciate professional after school support in a home setting. I also have experience in the ABA field, managing behaviors as well as running targets to match client’s needs. I am currently working on earning my RBT.

“I cannot recommend ViVi highly enough. As a single mom, finding someone you trust with your children is incredibly important, but finding someone who genuinely loves them and invests in their happiness is a rare gift. ViVi has truly become a part of our extended family. From day one, her warmth put me at ease, but it was the way she connected with my kids that really stood out. She doesn't just "watch" them; she engages them with such incredible creativity. Whether they are building elaborate forts, creating art projects, or inventing new games in the living Tim, she brings a sense of magic and fun that my kids absolutely adore. They don't just ask when she's coming over—they count down the days. Knowing my children are safe, loved, and having the time of their lives allows me to focus on work or take time for myself without a shred of guilt. She has earned a very special place in their hearts, and mine. If you are looking for someone who is reliable, kind, and deeply caring, look no further.”

"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."
