A few things about me! My name is Jessica Garcia. I have two beautiful daughters.🥰 I graduated from San Francisco State University. I’ve been with UrbanSitter for a bit over 6 years. I LOVE taking care of children and I’m really good at it :) It comes naturally!

“I was so impressed with Jessica from the start. I normally never leave the house the first time a nanny comes over, but she immediately made me feel comfortable enough to do so. She was absolutely excellent with our daughter, and they seemed to bond so quickly. Jessica kept me updated the entire time, which I really appreciated, and I felt completely at ease knowing my daughter was with her. I truly cannot say enough great things about her. We had such a wonderful experience and would absolutely recommend her!”

I have experience working at an after school care program caring for TK-5th graders. I facilitated indoor and outdoor activities, coordinated snack time, monitored and assisted with homework and ensured safe, organized pick ups/drop offs. I also worked with teens that had special needs as a teacher’s assistant while in school. After high school, I cared for two kids (ages 2 and 4) for almost a year in their home while working towards my degree in child development. After that, I started caring for an 11 month old in her home. I would read to her, take her outside or to the park, feed her, and more. After she started school, I started watching a 9 month old and a 3 year old in their home, very similar to my other jobs. I also have younger siblings that range from 9-1 years old and I’ve taken care of each of them while my parents were working.

“Athena was on time and very sweet! Our boys loved her. She kept them safe and we would definitely recommend her!”

Hi! My name is Kate, and I’m a Registered Nurse with over five years of nannying experience caring for children from early toddlerhood through age 10 and older. In addition to childcare, I have worked as a nurse in both a skilled nursing facility (SNF) and a hospital setting, where I’ve developed strong clinical skills, compassion, and the ability to remain calm and confident in any situation. My medical background gives families added peace of mind, knowing their children are in safe, capable hands. I genuinely enjoy building meaningful relationships with children and creating a fun, positive, and nurturing environment where they feel supported and encouraged to learn and grow. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing meals, engaging in arts and crafts, spending time outdoors, reading stories, or maintaining bedtime routines, I strive to make each day enjoyable while prioritizing safety and kindness. I am dependable, patient, organized, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I’m also happy to assist with light housekeeping, meal preparation, transportation, and pet care if needed. My goal is to provide families with reliable, loving care and to be someone both parents and children can trust.

“She was was very sweet and kind with the kids. She was also very thorough with her questions about the kids routines and what to expect. ”

"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."
