$25 per hour for 1 child

I have a Degree in Primary Education, an NCTVET HEART Certification in Early Childhood Education, and I am CPR and First Aid certified. With over a decade of experience as a teacher and as a professional nanny, I have cared for children of different ages and developmental stages, supporting their learning, routines, and growth in a safe and nurturing environment. Caregiving is my passion because I love building meaningful connections and creating spaces where children feel loved, encouraged, and confident. Outside of caregiving, I enjoy reading, crafting, and spending quality time with family, which I often incorporate into fun and engaging activities with the children I care for.

Sherika was extremely patient and caring with my boys. She is reliable (never cancels) and responsible. I finally found someone who is trustworthy. I think she will be our regular go to sitter anytime!

Hello! My name is Kaylani, and I’m currently in my second year at California State University, Sacramento (CSUS). I offer services in childcare, household assistance, and animal care. A little about me: I’m a very organized and responsible person who absolutely love animals. I have a wide range of experience caring for pets, as I currently have two French Bulldogs, a chinchilla, and two geckos. I’m currently working toward becoming a pediatric occupational therapist, as I have a strong passion for helping children learn and grow 🐾 I currently work at an elementary school with TK–Kindergarten students, which has given me valuable hands-on experience supporting young children in a classroom environment. Growing up as one of the eldest among my cousins, I also naturally took on babysitting responsibilities from a young age. My responsibilities have included school pick-ups and drop-offs, tutoring, crafts, games, and fun activities like Just Dance or Disney movie nights! I am also Red Cross CPR certified, so safety is always a priority ❤️ As someone who enjoys keeping spaces clean and organized, I’m happy to help with light cooking, cleaning, and household tasks as well.

Hi my name is Hannah and I play softball for Dominican University of California. I’m an oldest child of 3, and have 2 little sisters. I always grew up in a larger family with lots of kids and animals. I am a really big dog person, with 2 dogs at home. I love to play sports, I’ve been playing softball my whole life. I am a sophomore in college and majoring in Criminal Justice. Growing up as the oldest has taught me how to take care of kids in all sorts of ways such as cooking, cleaning, homework, ect. I have also worked with kids before at after school programs along with coaching many younger division softball teams. I have experience with kids of all ages, that comes with having a big extended family and always growing up being a babysitter. Along with experience of pets mainly dogs. I always grew up with dogs in my family. I am CPR certified through a training course given at my college. I have always grown up doing household chores, so I don’t mind cleaning like doing dishes, laundry, organizing, or even running errands. I would absolutely love to work with you, given being a student athlete in college, I am very busy but I can always work around my schedule! Thank you so much!

Hannah is professional and delightful. She easily helped my little one with his bedtime routine. My 5 year old son had a great time with her. Would love to work with Hannah again!

"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."
