My name is Marisa. I have a 6 month old daughter. I am 38 years old. I have always had a love for working with children. I am also a birth and postpartum doula. I am a lifeguard, as well as a swim instructor. I have completed all of my Early Childhood Education units. I have 38 ECE units. I have my teaching credentials through California. I have worked with special needs children as well. I I am trust line certified. I love animals of all kinds. I also own a pet sitting and dog walking business. I love doing arts & crafts, play dates, hiking, organizing, photography, painting, swimming, laughing, playing dress up, eating healthy, Zumba, hiking, cooking, baking, traveling, ice skating, dancing, and having a good time. I have a very safe and reliable vehicle that I have transported many children in. I have a clean driving record. I'm a non smoker/ non drug user. I feel its most important to truly engage with the children rather then just sitting them in front of a television. I do ask when contacting me and booking me for a particular job that you let me know ahead of time if there is any issue in regards to where to park. CANCELLATION POLICY: I plan my time and budget around the hours booked, I am aware that things come up from time to time, and I am very understanding of this, so if its less then a week notice for cancellation I do ask that I be paid for 50% of my time that was booked. It's hard to fill last minute gigs. Thank you.
“Marisa is a warm, caring person - I trusted my daughter (3yo) with her immediately. They took to each other right off the bat, which isn't usually the case with my daughter and new people. She's also professional, punctual, communicative to boot. I couldn't recommend Marisa enough, and will definitely be reaching out to her again! ”
My name is Rocio. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and have over 15 years of experience working with children of all ages. I am CPR, First Aid, and AED certified and can provide excellent references upon request. Caring for children has always been my passion. Throughout my career, I have worked in both professional educational settings and as a nanny, helping children grow, learn, and feel safe and supported. I pride myself on building strong, trusting relationships with children and their families. Many of the children I have cared for have remained an important part of my life, and I am honored by the bonds we have created over the years. Families describe me as nurturing, reliable, patient, energetic, and highly engaging. I love creating fun, meaningful experiences for children while also providing structure, consistency, and encouragement. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning activities, exploring outdoors, or simply being a trusted adult in a child’s life, I genuinely love what I do. In my free time, I enjoy hiking with my dog, spending time with family, and being outdoors. I am outgoing, cheerful, and bring positive energy wherever I go.
“Our kids ask Rocio to come back every day. That tells one a lot - kids are picky (at least mine 3&5 year old)”
Hi, my name is Raine! I’m 22 years old. I am currently enrolled in college (online) and will be transferring to UC Davis this fall. I love to babysit in my free time. I am studying to be a school psychologist and have a very strong passion for working with kids. I’d say I’m very experienced as I’ve had the chance to grow up learning and gaining experience in a classroom alongside my sister who has been a special education teacher for 15+ years. Also, since I was around 14 I’ve been known as the “babysitter” in my family. I’ve been watching my niece and nephew since they were newborns. Since then I’ve started babysitting independently for a few families I’ve met through my job. I also ran a “daycare” center at my job for over a year. I was in charge of children aged 2-13 for a few hours every Friday night. I am CPR certified as well. & I am also highly experienced in pet sitting and house sitting! I can assure you that your kids & or pets will be in great hands!
Hi my name is Dessie. I have experience with babysitting children and dogs. I have past experience with childcare and also currently babysit from time to time. I used to work as a childcare facilitator, where I would do arts and crafts, learning activities, prepared snacks and schedule downtime for the littles. I currently babysit when time allows it and love to do art projects and fun creative sensory games with pantry foods. I also encourage to meet before babysitting to ensure it is a good fit. My experience with dogs has been in a span of several years whether is walking, dog sitting, or just taking care of my own. I have a dog of my own that is very sweet and gentle. In the past I would dog sit for a lot of friends and would also do dog walking for strangers (through dog-walking app) from time to time. I have always loved dogs and have been volunteering at shelters here are there. Outside of childcare and dog care. I work an administrative job for an environmental sustainable company. I often spend my down time rock climbing, running and organizing/ cleaning spaces. I thrive in an environment where I can organize and clean. Often if I am babysitting or dog sitting I will clean the home as much as I can when asked to. If that’s not something you’d like I will respect your space and home but will definitely clean after your pup or child. I know it’s tough finding someone to trust to be in your home and take care of your loved ones so I also encourage that having a nanny cam or pet cam to check in is a good way to have a piece of mind and am always open to any suggestions or constructive criticisms. If you have any questions please reach out. Thank you!
“I cannot recommend Dessrie highly enough when it comes to caring for dogs. She is not only patient, attentive, and deeply responsible, but she also has a natural connection with animals that puts both pets and their owners at ease. What stands out most about Dessrie is the level of trust you can place in her. She is dependable, communicative, and treats every dog as if they were her own. Whether it’s ensuring their safety, giving them the right amount of exercise, or providing plenty of love and attention, she goes above and beyond. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, trustworthy, and truly great with dogs, Dessrie is the person you can count on without hesitation”
Hello! I’m Celia Gutierrez – your warm and reliable bilingual nanny! I’m based in San Leandro and have been caring for children since 2019. I’m fluent in both Spanish and English, and I specialize in working with newborns, infants, and toddlers. Caring for children isn’t just a job for me—it’s a true passion. I love creating joyful, nurturing environments where little ones feel safe, supported, and happy. Every child is unique, and I take pride in learning their routines, interests, and needs. I help maintain consistent schedules, keep play and rest areas tidy, organize toys, and plan fun, engaging activities—from arts and crafts to outdoor play and nature walks. My goal is always to bring a sense of calm, structure, and positive energy to every day. A few things parents appreciate about me: • CPR & First Aid Certified • Basic Sign Language • Clean driving record & reliable personal vehicle • Excellent references from past families • Bilingual in Spanish & English for added communication and learning If you’re looking for a trustworthy, nurturing caregiver who will treat your child like family, I’d love to connect and see how I can support your household.
“Celia is a very sweet, calm and patient babysitter. She got along immediately with my 4 yr old daughter and kept her entertained playing games and with arts/crafts. Celia is also very flexible and easy to communicate with. I will definitely have her back again!”

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
