Hi everyone, my name is Shelby. I'm currently a 5th-8th grade educator but have taken care of newborns, and worked professionally in environments with children as young as 3 and up to 17. I love creating fun and inclusive spaces for children which is why I've dedicated the last 8 years to working with them! I'm also a huge pet lover (with a rabbit and pug of my own) and would love to meet any fur babies of yours 😄. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about my qualifications or experiences. I'm CPR/First Aid/AED certified.
Hi I’m Roseanne but you can call me Rose. As a mother of grown children both out of the house, I truly miss the laughter, curiosity, and wonder along with memories that little ones bring into a home. Caring for babies and toddlers feels natural and meaningful to me — it’s a season of life I cherish deeply. I bring a warm, calm, attentive presence into the homes I work in. Safety, integrity, and emotional steadiness are very important to me. I believe children thrive in peaceful, predictable routines, and I’m happy to help create that — whether that means engaging play, reading time, gentle redirection, bedtime routines or simply being a steady presence during transitions. I’m also happy to support with light household tasks, pet care, and helping your home feel a little more manageable while you’re away. When I’m not caring for families, I enjoy spending time in nature, visiting museums, and being with friends and loved ones. I value balance, warmth, and meaningful connection — and I bring that same energy into the families I serve.

Hello everyone my name is Halle, I am 22 years old and I am currently attending CSUEB for my bachelor’s and aspiring to become a teacher! I am a personal assistant for a business owner, where my responsibilities range from many thing like running errands, cleaning, and child care. I’ve watched her soon to be 5 year old daughter since she was 6 months old and I also take care of her son who just turn one. I like to do things like draw, crafts, play board games, and read with them! I also love animals as well and has been a pet sitter in the past. I loved to take them on walks and take care of your fur baby!

"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."
