Hi! I’m Alyssa, a 20-year-old college student currently studying Psychology. I’ve babysat for family and friends before, and I work at a daycare school for kids ranging from infants to elementary grades. I’m calm under pressure, dependable, and able to connect with kids pretty easily. I also have experience with tutoring and enjoy cooking, so I’m happy to help with homework and meal prep when needed. I have a very flexible schedule for the summer and would love to help out! Looking forward to connecting!

“Alyssa was energetic, attentive and engaging. My daughter had an amazing time with her! ”

Booked by 6 families in Burlingame, CA

Hello! Nice to meet you! My name is Nicole, I am a current college student and offer child care, pet care and housekeeping services. Some skills I have include painting, arts and crafts, playing sports such as basketball and football, martial arts, and dancing. I also provide household services such as cleaning, organizing, laundry, and cooking. I love being a child caretaker and making them smile and having fun with them! I have several years of experience in taking care of children especially preschoolers and the ages of 4-6. I also had experience teaching elementary school children about healthy living and have experience tutoring children. I also have several years of experience taking care of pets such as dogs, rabbits, and birds as a pet owner.

“Nicole exceeded all of my expectations. My son can sort of take advantage of new sitters but she did amazing. She jumped right in starting playing with him, helped make dinner so I could get ready, gave my son a bath (which wasn’t a requirement nor did I think he would want one), and got him AND his best friend to bed. Both children under 4. She was communicative the entire time she was at my house. My son woke up in the morning asking where she went because he wanted her to stay. Will definitely be using her again in the future. ”

Booked by 3 families in Burlingame, CA

I’m a nanny and early childhood educator with over 9 years of experience, caring for children of all ages — from infants to school-age kids. Experience includes: • Nanny in Brazil in the U.S., and Chile (+ than 5 years) • Au pair in the U.S (San Carlos CA) • Teacher assistant in early childhood education These international experiences helped me develop strong communication skills and a deep understanding of different family cultures and parenting styles. Qualifications: • Degree in Early Childhood Education (Brazil) • Fluent in English and Portuguese • Basic Spanish I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and educational environment. I’m responsible, caring, and truly committed to supporting each child’s growth and happiness. I joined Urbansitter in 2020, but soon after returned to Brazil and recently moved back to the U.S., which explains my limited reviews. I’m now excited to be active again and fully available for babysitting.
