Hello! My name is Alondra I am 25 years old. I have been a babysitter and nanny since I was in high school and have experience with newborns-12 year olds, and even twins! My love and patience towards children comes from taking care of my younger siblings being the oldest growing up. I have since then worked as a nanny/ babysitter for multiple amazing families. In addition to the childcare responsibilities, I have also assisted in homework, meal prepping and light housekeeping. Most importantly, I enjoy making long lasting connections and relationships with all the families I work with! It is what I enjoy and cherish the most. Typically with kiddos, I let them lead with their own interests to build rapport and trust but I especially love encouraging creative/imaginary play, hands on learning activities and arts&crafts! I am Fire Safety and First Aid certified. I am fully vaccinated and boosted and live in a fully vaccinated household. A little bit about me: I have a B.A. in psychology from San Francisco State where I also took child development and special education courses! I currently nanny and babysit for two sweet girls who are both almost 2! I like being outdoors, staying active and a book worm! Also love all types of animals! I take a more gentle approach when it comes to the kids I work it. That being said, I am committed to supporting your family and implementing practices that best meet your needs.

“Alondra was so sweet and great with both of my kids (toddler and baby). She was always on time and communicative.”

Nursing student | 6+ years of professional childcare experience | Trusted by families caring for infants through teens. Hi! I’m Sheba, a nursing student with 6 years of professional childcare experience and 10+ years of experience as a big sister and aunt. I’ve cared for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers, and I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids can learn, play, and feel supported. I’m happy to help with school pickups and drop-offs, homework, meal and snack prep, bedtime routines, and light housekeeping related to the children. Families describe me as dependable, patient, and easy to communicate with. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and become someone your children enjoy spending time with, I look forward to connecting.

“She was on time, very professional, my kids loved her! She did their bath and bedtime routine and had them in bed in no time. I was very impressed, my kids hate bedtime. Their playroom and table were picked up as well which was a pleasant surprise. We have gone through quite a bit of sitters and she is the best! I highly recommend her.”

"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."
