Hi my name is Gloria, I worked in a daycare over ten years ago. The woman I worked with closed her daycare and I changed careers. I miss working with kids I love exploring the world with toddler's for the first time. I enjoy playing make-believe, creating new worlds, arts & crafts. I enjoy playing board games and reading books.
“She was great. ”
Hi there! My name is Belén and I’m originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I’m a fashion designer graduate and I been living here for three year already. I love kids and I’m currently taking care of two girls of 5 and 8. I have experience with kids from 3 months old to 10 years old. I like playing with them, reading books, or do arts and craft. I even teached how to crochet to my kids. I consider myself as an artsy and crafty person and I enjoy sharing that with kids. I’m fluent in english but my native lenguage is spanish. Cheers, Belén (:
“Belen is the best. She cares for our two girls (5,3) and they adore her. She plays fun, creative games with the girls. We could not function without her. Belen is the greatest!!”
Hello- My name is Briana and I’m currently employed as a para educator. I work regular school hours, therefore am seeking babysitting opportunities that are in the afternoons on week days and am flexible with the times on weekends. A bit about me is that I am bilingual (English and Spanish), a big time animal lover, and I love the outdoors. I’ve been employed in the school setting for 3 years now and have gained experienced working with students from diverse backgrounds and with a range of learning necessities. I look forward to connecting with your family!
“Briana was fantastic! She arrived on time, immediately connected with our kids, and made them feel comfortable and happy. She’s warm, attentive, and truly engaged — she played with them, spoke to them in Spanish as we requested, and kept everything running smoothly. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. We’d love to have her back anytime! ”
Hi, I’m Nancy! I’m a Bay Area native and a full-time first-grade teacher who truly loves working with kids of all ages. With over five years of classroom experience, many years of babysitting, and a Master’s in Education, I bring patience, creativity, and a nurturing approach to every family I work with. I’m a credentialed public school teacher and have cared for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children—from feedings and nap times to homework help and fun activities. Being bilingual in Spanish and English helps me connect with families from diverse backgrounds, and I’m CPR & First Aid certified so you can feel confident your little ones are safe with me. Families describe me as dependable, warm, and easy to communicate with. Whether you need an extra set of hands during a busy week or a trustworthy sitter for a night out, I’d love to support your family and give your kids a safe, engaging, and fun experience.
Hello, my name is Cagla. I hold a master’s degree and have been working with children and families since 2013. My experience includes working as an au pair in the U.S. as well as supporting families through after-school educational programs and family-focused care services. I understand the different needs of children at various developmental stages and adapt my approach accordingly, and I consistently receive positive feedback from families for my professionalism, responsiveness, and ability to build trust.
“Cagla has been a repeat babysitter many times for us over the past year for our kids aged 2 and 4. She is punctual, responsive, and has great availability. She even traveled north of SF to babysit during a recent family trip, which gave us great piece of mind since we knew and trusted her already. What stands out about Cagla compared to other other caregivers we've worked with (and why we continue to work with her) is the amount of energy, drive and attention she has in her work with children. She knows what ages various milestones happen (e.g. separation anxiety) and is prepared to handle them. She always asks the important practical questions about routines and schedules, and provides a clear update at the end of the stay. She is warm and plays with our kids on their level, but also very clear with them when they are crossing boundaries they shouldn't. Our children look forward to spending time with her!”

"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."
