Hi everyone, I have been babysitting for 4 years. Some of the few things I enjoy doing with children are playing games, coloring/drawing or being active and playing outdoors!
Hello! My name is Jenna and I recently graduated from CSU East Bay. I am offering childcare and pet care services. Over the years I have babysat numerous times for neighbors or family friends from children ages 1-10. Previously I worked at a petting zoo and managed groups of children from ages 3-14. I can also help with homework, especially in the science area as I have a bachelors in biology. In my free time I enjoy reading, drawing, painting, and crocheting. I have around 7 years of experience working with various types of farm animals and I am comfortable taking care of any animal! Upon request I’d be happy to give references.
“Such a sweet kind young woman ”
I have professional experience caring for babies and young children, with 5+ years of childcare experience, including nannying and family support. I’m comfortable with daily routines, meals, play, naps, school drop-offs and pickups, and creating a safe, warm, and engaging environment for children. I also have experience helping families with light housekeeping and home organization, as well as pet care. I’m reliable, caring, organized, and attentive to the needs of both children and the household. Thank you, Bruna
“Very detail oriented and caring. Will definitely work together again.”
My name is Fernanda, and I am from Colombia. I am university trained and licensed as a teacher in Colombia where I taught children ages 4 years to 14 years old. I am fluent in English and Spanish and for the past 2 years have been employed as a nanny caring for children ages 6 months to 3 years old. I am a very patient, responsible, and dependable person who is about promoting the well-being and overall development of children.
“Maria (she goes by Fernanda) was great with my two year old. She got here right as I was in the middle of my daughter having just had an accident. Fernanda took over and handled it without complaint and helped change her. My toddler warmed up to her immediately and Fernanda took great care of her. Would definitely have her back!”

As a parent myself, I have firsthand experience caring for newborns and young children, including feeding, soothing, diaper changes, bedtime routines, and creating a safe, nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable while their parents are away and I understand how valuable it is for parents to have someone trustworthy caring for their children too. I an CPR and First Aid certified, including infant CPR. My availability is primarily Friday evenings, Saturdays, and Sundays, with overnight availability. I also have lifelong experience caring for dogs and cats and am happy to help with pet care if needed while you're away. My goal is to provide families with dependable care and peace of mind.

“I highly recommend Simone as a caregiver. I have worked with Simone for the past year, and what I've consistently seen in her is her kindness and passion for bringing brightness to other people's days. She is raising a wonderful child and is excellent at helping others grow and develop into amazing human beings. She is thoughtful, dependable, and trustworthy. All families would be extremely fortunate to work 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."
