Hi, I’m Ana! I’m a proud mother of three grown children and have dedicated the past 15 years to working in schools. Throughout my career, I’ve served as a campus monitor, instructional assistant, and currently as a paraprofessional, supporting and encouraging children ages 4–10. Outside of work, I enjoy creating art, solving puzzles. I love helping children learn and grow while bringing patience, creativity, and kindness to everything I do.
Hello! My name is Moa. I have 6+ years of professional childcare experience. I am completely comfortable working with children, from infants to teenagers. I work part time as an instructional aide, so I'm primarily available in the afternoons/evenings and weekends. I enjoy my job because I love working with children! I am first aid and CPR certified.
Hi families! My name is Makena, and I'm a 20-year-old student at the University of Kentucky originally from San Ramon, California and will be in San Ramon for the summer. I've always enjoyed working with kids and have experience babysitting, including caring for a 10-year-old boy over the summer, experience as a summer camp counselor, and helped as an assistant cheer coach for the summer at California high school. During my time babysitting, I helped with meals, transportation, activities, and making sure he had a fun and safe time. I'm also comfortable caring for pets and have experience with both cats and dogs. As a former Division I athlete and lifelong cheerleader, I'm energetic, patient, good under pressure, and love to stay active. I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and judgement free environment where they can feel comfortable and have fun. I have my own car and am happy to help with pick-ups, drop-offs, and other tasks as needed. My goal is to be someone both kids and parents can trust, and I would love the opportunity to get to know your family!
I have a Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology with a concentration in exercise and movement science and I have about 11 years of recruiting experience in biotech. I recently got laid off from work and I am looking to do something meaningful in the meantime as I transition to my next role. I enjoy working with children- I have previously coached kids on various sports and did a summer camp at SFSU.
I’m an experienced nanny, babysitter, and pet sitter with a strong background in child development and a genuine passion for working with children. I have cared for children as young as 2 months old up to 14 years old, including families with multiple children. My favorite age group to work with is infants through preschoolers (0–5 years), as I love supporting their early learning, curiosity, and social-emotional growth. I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and happy. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each family’s unique needs and routines. In addition to childcare, I also provide pet sitting and house sitting services, with experience caring for both cats and dogs. I treat every home, child, and pet with the same level of care and responsibility as if they were my own.

"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."
