Mila 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mila. I'm a proud mom of two kids— my oldest just graduated, and my youngest is in college. I’ve spent most of my life taking care of kids. First my own, and also my nieces and nephews. Now that my kids are growing up I’m excited to help other families and get back to doing something I truly enjoy, taking care of little ones. I know how busy life gets as a parent, so I’m happy to help however I can. From childcare to housekeeping, errands, school drop-offs and pickups, and cooking. I love being in the kitchen and making healthy, home-cooked meals! I speak both Spanish and English. I currently work in food and retail, but I’m looking to make a move into full-time babysitting work. I’m reliable, caring, and bring years of real-life experience. Thank you!

“I’ve worked part time with Mila and she has an amazing work ethic!! She’s always early, thinks ahead, and is adaptable in shift. You can see how much she cares about kids when we help a nearby daycamp. She talks to kids with so much care and respect (which is why we always send her out as our speaker lol). She’d be an awesome babysitter!”

Hello my name is marcala I’m 24 years old I’m currently a student at Northern Virginia community college. I started taking care of kids when I was 13 years, starting with my cousins and my two brothers, and throughout the years I’ve been babysitting my nieces and nephews, and I love it. I am comfortable taking care of children from 1 month to 8 years old. I enjoy reading, watching movies, going on walks and drawing . I work part time medical assistant and a full time student at nova. Im also cpr certified and also first aid trained. Thank you for considering me, I can’t wait to work y’all.

“Hello family, This letter is my personal character reference for Marcala Joseph. I have been a close friend of Marcala’s for 5 years and her immediate trainee for three. We both worked at a retail store and as caregiver back in 2018. In my interactions with her, l've found that she consistently exceeds expectations in her interpersonal skills, problem-solving abilities, and work ethic. She is a caring person, very patient and pay close at attention to details, with her past caregiver experience I believe she will be a great addition to your family. If you have any additional questions please feel free to reach out to me [email protected]. Thank you.”

Rita Isabel $20 per hour for 1 child

While my full name is Rita Isabel, I go by Isabel, and I am a single parent of a 13 y/o and aunt to a toddler and newborn. Becoming an aunt made me realize I actually enjoy spending time with children that aren't my own and I'm pretty good at it. Once upon a time I was a clinician but decided that public health is the field for me so being an urbansitter is a side gig that I enjoy and find fulfillment in. I am very responsible, detail oriented and enjoy games and crafts!

Yanina $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello my name is Yanina, I am 48 years old. I have been working as a nanny for 20 years now. I have experience with twins and kids from all ages. so far I have gotten the chance to work with many families in San Jose, Santa Clara, Los gatos, Mountain View, Palo Alto, and San Mateo. I speak two languages (Spanish and English). I also love and enjoy cooking and preparing meals for the kids that I watch. I like to make sure that what I cook for the kids is both filling and healthy. For me one of the most important things in watching a child is having patients and giving them as much love as they need. what I look forward to in a job is making sure that I can make both the family and the child or children happy.

"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."
