Leslie $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Leslie and I am a junior at SRJC. I have liked babysitting ever since my nephew was born when was I just 10 years old. I have since taken care of family friends children and even recently my two little cousins. I have had the pleasure of caring for other families. My responsibilities have included cooking, changing, taken to/from school. The activities I most enjoy doing with children are coloring, taking walks, and watching movies.

Susan $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Sue and I have a Masters degree in Education. I have spent my career working in school districts running before and after school programs and preschools. I have also been an adjunct professor at various San Francisco Bay Area Community Colleges in the Child Development departments and Child and Family Study departments. Having raised my 3 beautiful children and enjoyed watching my 5 grandchildren grow and make all of us so very proud, I am now ready to be hands on in supporting other families. I am thrilled to help with children of all ages and prefer to keep busy with preparing meals, bringing children to activities, visiting parks, and exploring your child’s interests. I look forward to meeting your family!

Hi! I’m Odalis, a Nursing major at Santa Rosa Junior College with a genuine love for caring for kids. I enjoy singing, dancing, spending time with my dog, going to church, and being with the people I love. Babysitting is truly an art to me — one that takes patience, creativity, and heart. I’m known for being patient, reliable, and loving, and I always aim to bring comfort, joy, and calm to every child I care for. I’ve cared for children of all ages, from infants to older kids, including multiple children at once. My experience includes school pick-ups and drop-offs, practices, games, homework help, meal prep, light cleaning, and full routines — from fun activities to bedtime. I’m also comfortable with infant care, including feedings, stroller walks, reading, naps, and soothing nighttime routines. I’m dog-friendly and happy working with both small and big dogs! I look forward to providing reliable, loving care and creating a joyful, safe, and nurturing environment for your little one(s).

Hello! I’m Nicole and I am a part-time student, trying to finish my undergraduate studies at SSU after a long sabbatical! I am also a first time mom to a wonderful 4 mo son ♥️ I enjoy exploring new places, trying out new restaurants and foods, walking with my dog outdoors, exercising, reading and attending concerts with friends. My experience working with children has taught me so much and transformed me into the person I am today. I became an alert listener, a wise decision maker, a patient advisor, a smarter supervisor, a fun-loving and creative adult, a generous and open-minded caregiver, and most importantly a loyal and loving friend to the kids I work with. This has been an invaluable experience and will surely help me in my endeavors for the future :) ***PLEASE READ BELOW*** On a side note: it is crucial for me to let parents and families know that my rates are subjective to distance as well as the major holidays. Any questions or concerns please privately message me. - Jobs within 20 minutes or less from my location will only be charged my minimum rate - I would also like to point out my minimum of 4 hr bookings. I may make exceptions, please message me. - My cancellation policy is notification up until 24 hours prior to booking; anything later, I request 50% of the expected rate agreed upon. Less than 12 hours, it would be 100% of the expected rate. Thank you so much for your understanding!

“On time, professional, and communicated well. Our 10 month old was asleep already when she arrived but she had been more than willing to help out if needed!”

"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."
