Booked by 1 family in Saratoga, CA

I have been babysitting, nannying, and pet sitting since 2008. I have a Bachelor's in Sociology and have taken multiple first aid courses. Some of my experience: In college, I was a nanny for 3 kids under 5 for 3 years (I am still in touch with the family and enjoy seeing the kids growing up). I have also watched a total of 6 kids under 12 through high school as their regular babysitter. I grew up a competitive gymnast and played soccer through college(happy to coach in either sport). I enjoy cooking, taking walks/ hikes, playing games and helping the kiddos with their homework. On the animal caretaking side- I am regularly housesitting/pet sitting for multi-pet households. I am familiar with dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits and tortoises. Happy to learn the routine for other pets too!

“Michaela rocked it! She took care of our trio like a total pro while we enjoyed dinner. From cooking up a storm to playing games, she had them laughing and smiling all evening. Our kids are already asking when she can come over again! Michaela's laid-back vibe and easy flexibility made our night out a breeze. We're already planning our next adventure, knowing our little ones will be in the best hands. If you want a caregiver who's not just great with kids but also super cool, Michaela's your go-to! Highly recommend her for some stress-free parent time.”

Victoria $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Victoria. I am a retired and I have time to help busy families. I am offering child care, senior care and pet services. I have raised a daughter, whom is now an adult and on her own. I help babysit my grandbaby and I have three cats and two dogs of my own. I am able to help transport children to school or elderly to doctor's appointments. When my mother was living, I took care of her as she was disabled from a stroke. I took her to appointments as needed so I know how time consuming it can be. I am here to help.

Nicolle Andrea $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Nicolle, and I’m originally from Colombia. I’m fluent in English, Spanish, and French, and I have many years of childcare experience, from newborns to teenagers. I have worked in a daycare and cared for twins, triplets, and families in Switzerland and throughout the Bay Area. My office recently closed, and I am now a full-time mom to my 3-month-old daughter. I’m currently looking for a nanny share-style arrangement or a family comfortable with me bringing my daughter along. I especially love working on early childhood stimulation and creating age-appropriate activities that support children’s development. I also enjoy exploring new places with little ones, including parks, libraries, museums, and story times. I love keeping our days active, engaging, and fun while respecting each child’s routine and needs. I’m caring, responsible, organized, and very comfortable with infants and young children. I’d love to find a family where our little ones can grow, learn, and explore together. Feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to answer any questions!

Booked by 1 family in Saratoga, CA

Hello my name Mien, and i am a dedicated and compassionate pet care provider with a genuine love for animals of all kinds. With years of a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats, I pride myself on crating a safe, comfortable and joyful environment for every pet I look after. Animals aren't just pet for me, they are family. That's why I focus on building trust, offering patience and giving each animal the attention they deserve. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, playtime or special-care routines. I am reliable, detail-oriented, and comfortable handling pets with different personalities, from energetic pups to shy or senior companions. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry friends are in carrying and attentive hands. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pets with the same love and respect as you do, I will be honored to help.

Zulema $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Saratoga, CA

Hello- My name is Zulema, I am 43 yrs old, married for 22 years and a mother of two (ages 20 and 16). I’m an experienced early childhood educator and parent coach with over 20 years of experience supporting children and families in preschool, early intervention, school-based, and family-service settings. I hold a Master’s degree in Child and Adolescent Developmental Psychology and am passionate about creating nurturing, engaging, and developmentally appropriate experiences for children. My approach to caregiving is warm, patient, and play-based. I enjoy helping children learn through everyday activities, imaginative play, books, art, music, outdoor time, and age-appropriate routines. I understand the importance of supporting children’s social-emotional development, communication, independence, and confidence while also making sure they feel safe, understood, and cared for. I have experience working with children from early childhood through school-age years, including children with developmental delays. In my previous roles, I have collaborated with families, educators, counselors, social workers, and behavioral support professionals. I am comfortable using positive guidance, clear routines, visual supports and calming strategies tailored to each child’s individual needs. As a sitter, I value open communication with parents and will always respect your family’s routines, preferences, and parenting style. I can provide updates about your child’s activities, mood, meals, sleep, play, and any important moments during my time with them. I am also bilingual in English and Spanish and would be happy to support Spanish language exposure if that is meaningful for your family. I am looking for occasional nanny and babysitting opportunities where I can provide dependable, attentive, and compassionate care. Whether you need support for a date night, weekend plans, appointments, special events, or an occasional extra set of hands, I would love to help create a positive and comfortable experience for your child and peace of mind for you.

"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."
