Reliable and caring pet sitter who enjoys spending time with animals. Available for walks, visits, and general care to help keep routines steady.
I am a responsible and caring pre-medical student with years of experience working with children, seniors, and patients through volunteering in hospitals and hospice. I bring patience, empathy, and strong communication skills to every family I work with. I enjoy helping kids with homework, creating fun activities, and providing safe, reliable care. My background in health care settings has strengthened my ability to handle emergencies calmly and responsibly. Families can count on me to be dependable, nurturing, and attentive to their needs.
Iam a responsible and caring babysitter who has a background in performing arts, meaning I have a strong knack for creativity as well as lots of patience for activities. It is quite easy for me to engage with kids in terms of storytelling or imaginative play. I would have course prioritize the safety of the kids, but ensure that we are still expressing ourselves in a creative manner. I have been babysitting for 5 years, and I have babysat anywhere from infant children, to children in elementary school. I have been teaching and helping children with homework since then as well. I enjoyed babysitting because eventually when I have a more professional job, I want to be a child psychologist as I love working with children and providing whatever support I can.

Hello! My first name is Zyla Janine and I just graduated with my Bachelor’s of Health Science at Sacramento State last year. Aside from caretaking, I am also a barista. I care for children of all ages, seniors, and pets as well! I also offer household services. I am the eldest daughter of my immigrant family— have been caring for my younger family for as long as I can remember. It has always been natural for me since it is a responsibility I have always had. I would bring them to school and back from it, cook for them, tutoring, and clean or run errands whilst keeping an eye on them. I have done all of the same and more with my senior family as well. Not to mention, I was a CPR/AED certified lifeguard with several years experience. Additionally, I did three sports in high school: volleyball, basketball, and track & field. I went to sectionals for shotput and discus back then—and I am currently a 2x champion for the intramural volleyball league at the Sacramento State gym. If your child is interested in sports or education, I am glad to help! I was also a tutor at Kumon, an ELA and math extracurricular program that helped kids with their homework as well as activity problems we provided. I also helped my brother with ADHD with his homework growing up too. I have always been a high achiever in school until now—I was on the Dean’s Honor List for every semester I have been at Sac State! I have been around small caged animals most of my life, like guinea pigs and fish, but I love cats and dogs and would be open to work with them!
“She is very punctual, and we are looking forward to having her with us for our Dad's senior care. We are very pleased with how she interacted with our dad and how knowledgeable she is. ”

"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."
