Hi! My name is Kika, I'm a friendly and energetic caretaker with experience as a preschool teacher, nanny, and kids gymnastics coach. I love creating a joyful, safe and structured environment where kids thrive and know they are supported. I've spent the last year and a half nannying full-time for a wonderful family who I feel so lucky to have grown so close with. Their toddler is now heading to preschool, so I'm looking forward to finding a new family to support. I'm looking for at least 30 hours per week and open to more. One of my favorite parts of being a nanny is discovering each child's unique learning style so I can support and foster their growth in a way that they enjoy and works best for them. I love helping kids discover their strengths and interests and building up their confidence. My days with kids are filled with tactile play, arts and crafts, science experiments, making music, storytelling, reading, outdoor adventures and more. I love finding their special interests and talents and supporting them in becoming their best selves. I'm very playful while also being patient and supportive and enforcing the structure and boundaries that help children feel secure. I especially enjoy working with neurodivergent children. As someone who grew up with ADHD, I understand the importance of meeting children where they are and embracing the way they experience the world. I currently teach gymnastics to neurotypical kids as well as kids with developmental and physical disabilities and I really love working with this community. I know that inviting someone into your home to care for your children is a big decision and I value the trust that families place in me. I love building positive and long lasting relationships the families I work with. I have my current CPR, First Aid, and concussion response certifications and I am a mandated reporter in the State of California. Thanks for taking the time to read my profile! I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family and hope to hear from you soon! -Kika

“Kika has been our full-time nanny for a year and a half. She has become family and we couldn't love her more. If our son wasn't moving on to preschool and could stay a toddler forever, then we'd hire Kika forever! (And honestly, if money were no object, we'd keep her on salary just to be on-call - we love her that much.) We're sad to see her less, but very excited for the next families she works with to be blessed with her presence. She is highly creative, joyful, sweet, responsible, communicative, and a really great hang. Seriously, Kika is a gem.”

Hi there! My name is Elizabeth and I currently work at a school with children from ages 5yrs to 16yrs. I’ve been working there for over 20 years. I also used to have my own family child care and would care for children ages newborns and up. I opened up my own family child care because I enjoy working with children. My passion is making children happy and seeing them smile. I enjoy various outdoor activity including painting, dancing, singing, etc. I’ve worked at a senior center and have cared for senior family members. I enjoy helping others!

“Elizabeth was able to jump right in and take in our hurried instructions for bedtime while we had to run out the door. She let us know how the kids were doing during the next few hours and was professional, courteous, and very skilled. She was not phased by our kids not wanting to have a babysitter and taking a while to warm up. ”

"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."
