I am currently working in an office with 14 others. It was a good job to get me through school but I am looking to leave this month and am looking for a wonderful job with a wonderful kid or a couple of kids. I’ve been caring for children since I was 12, alongside school and other jobs. As the oldest of three, I’ve always had a natural sense of responsibility and loved being around little ones. I started babysitting regularly when my younger sister was born, caring for her and another baby of the same age at the same time for several years. I also cared for a one-year-old for about four years on and off, along with babysitting for several other families. I’m patient, loving, calm, and dependable, while also being comfortable setting boundaries when needed. I’ve cared for energetic, adventurous, and strong-willed children and enjoy finding activities that keep them engaged without relying heavily on screen time. I especially enjoy cooking and baking with kids, going on walks, swimming, painting, drawing, and spending time outdoors. I’m also confident with bedtime routines and helping children settle into a consistent schedule, while understanding that some children need time to feel comfortable with a new caregiver. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy being a child’s buddy and creating a safe, happy environment where they can have fun, explore, and feel cared for.
Hi! My name is Ruby, and I’m an experienced nanny with over 5 years of hands-on care for infants, toddlers, and school-age children. I’m certified in sleep training, baby-led weaning, car seat safety, and CPR, and I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing, and developmentally supportive environment. I also have additional experience teaching swim lessons, with a strong focus on water safety. I’m based in Grass Valley and currently available for part-time and as-needed positions. I can travel to surrounding areas such as Auburn, Rocklin, Roseville, Folsom, and Sacramento.
Hi, My name is Claudia! I am a freshmen at San Francisco State majoring in psychology. I am offering child care and light household care services. In my hometown, I worked as a youth leader for a summer camp where I logged six weeks of leading and mentoring a group of 10 kids ages 5-8. I also provided care for a 9 year old regularly for about 2 years until I moved to SF for college. I try to share my love of art and creating with the kids I have worked with. Whether its helping with homework, keeping up with routines, or planning fun activties, I have learned how to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids can thrive!

"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."
