Booked by 3 families in Stanford, CA

I am a caring, responsible, and energetic childcare provider who genuinely loves working with children. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from 1-month-old infants to older kids, including twins and multiple children at the same time. One of the things I enjoy most is playing with children and becoming a kid alongside them. I love exploring their world, using imagination, discovering new things together, and creating fun, meaningful experiences. Whether it’s through games, music, arts and crafts, reading, outdoor activities, or creative play, I truly enjoy helping children learn, grow, and have fun while feeling safe and supported. I strive to create a nurturing, engaging, and positive environment where children can develop confidence, curiosity, and happiness. I am patient, organized, dependable, and committed to supporting each child’s well-being and development. I hold a degree in Social Communication and Journalism, with a specialization in Digital Communication and Interactive Media. I also have excellent references that reflect my dedication, professionalism, and strong work ethic. Currently, I am studying English and can also introduce children to Spanish in a fun and natural way. I enjoy cooking and maintaining clean, organized spaces to help create a comfortable and positive environment for both children and families. My goal is to ensure your children are happy, safe, and well cared for while giving you complete peace of mind, knowing they are spending their time with someone who genuinely enjoys sharing, learning, exploring, and having fun with them every day.

Rebecca $28 per hour for 1 child

I earned my degree in Communications, but some of my most meaningful experiences have come from working directly with families. I have several years of experience caring for children of various ages, from infants to school-aged kids, and I enjoy helping with everything from daily routines and homework support to planning fun, creative activities. I’ve also cared for pets and seniors, so I’m comfortable balancing different responsibilities in the home. What I love most about caregiving is the opportunity to build trust and provide a safe, nurturing environment where children can feel supported and encouraged. I bring patience, dependability, and a positive attitude to every role, and I find it rewarding to know that I can make parents’ lives easier while giving children a fun and caring experience. On a personal note, I enjoy spending time outdoors, staying active, and trying out new recipes in the kitchen. Families I’ve worked with would describe me as warm, dependable, and someone who truly enjoys being part of their children’s growth and happiness.

Hello! My name is Taliyah, I’m 24 years old, and currently a senior in college. I’ve been working with children for as long as I can remember, and I have about 8 years of professional experience. ☺️ For the past few years, I’ve worked with children in elementary and middle school, and I also have experience with younger children from caring for my 5 year old sister since she was born. I love playing board games, doing fun crafts, and (trying to) play sports with kids! In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family, exploring the outdoors, and playing with my bunny and puppy. 🐰🌷

Hello, My name is Anjali, I am 26 years old. I have been a nanny for the last 6 years for many amazing families. I was recently an Au Pair for a wonderful family in palo alto, but they have now moved away. I looking to pick up some part time work and be a helping hand to the right family :). I love spending time with kids and have always loved children. I’ve babysat since the age 15. It has led me to become extremely comfortable with children of all ages. I have a safe reliable vehicle. Outside of babysitting and nannying, I am currently perusing a career in law and recently graduated college with my BS in justice studies.

"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."
