Hi! I'm a college student with several years of experience working with children of all ages. This summer, I worked as a site assistant and a teacher with Destination Science, where I led fun, hands-on STEM activities while ensuring every child felt safe, included, and engaged. I've also worked as a babysitter and day camp counselor at the MJCC, supervising children, organizing games and crafts, helping with meals, and creating a positive environment. During high school, I taught at a dance clinic, which strengthened my leadership, communication, and patience while working with young children. I'm responsible, dependable, and energetic, and I genuinely enjoy helping kids learn, grow, and have fun. Whether it's keeping children entertained, assisting with homework, preparing simple meals, or helping with bedtime routines, I'm committed to providing families with reliable and attentive care.

During the last 3 years I have had jobs related to child and pet care. I was working at petsmart and in two home day care, I am creative and careful and friendly, I have learned during my experience to pay attention to details and solve them in an optimal way. I think it is very important that children have good care for this reason I am starting classes at Mission College in relation to the care and behavior of the child

“We would love to recommend her for the wonderful care she provided to our 1 year and 4 month old daughter. From the very beginning, she built a very special bond with her; our daughter always felt calm, safe, and happy in her presence. She supported us during an important stage, introducing solid foods, always with patience, care, and by following our instructions closely. She was also very responsible when it came to managing allergies, which was extremely important to us, and she consistently gave us peace of mind in that area. She helped establish sleep routines that significantly improved our baby’s rest. In addition, she encouraged her development through the use of Spanish commands, daily reading, and engaging activities that supported her learning in a loving way. She also promoted outdoor activities, which helped our daughter stay active and supported her motor development. Additionally, she assisted with meal preparation, always carefully following our guidance. She is a very responsible, dedicated, and detail-oriented person. We are truly grateful for all the care, support, and love she gave to our daughter.”

Hi, my name is Laura, I’m 34 years old and originally from Germany. I recently moved to the Bay Area together with my husband. I speak German, English, and a little Spanish. I’ve always enjoyed caring for children - I’ve looked after my sister’s little one, my two godchildren (twins), and other kids from family and friends. I also have experience teaching both individual and group tutoring sessions, so I’m comfortable managing several kids at once and happy to help with homework and studying. Families know me as warm, kind, and dependable. I love spending time with kids - whether it’s playing, reading, helping them learn, or coming up with fun activities. I’m also glad to help with errands, cooking, meal-prep or house-sitting, so you can feel completely at ease when I’m around. I’d love to support your family and make things a little easier for you!

“Laura is wonderful. She was on time and super great with our six month old. Our baby seemed comfortable with her right away. She played with her, got her to sleep, fed her, and took her on a nice long walk. I’m so glad we found Laura! ”

"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."
