I am a full time employee as a diesel mechanic at a local tractor shop and a part time student. I also am in the middle of trying to get my own small business up and running. When I am not at school I am hanging out with my family, cooking family dinners or cleaning or maybe even studying for my classes! I have taken three years of American Sign Language in High School. I am not fluent but will be more than happy to try my best if it will come in handy! (Please be understanding I am rusty since I don’t use it much) If you have any questions at all please feel free to message me!
“Ashley was great. Showed up on time and had an easy-going engagement with my son. She fed him and put him to bed, and Nik had a great time.”

Hi there! My name is Janna and I just graduated from CSUEB with my BA in Sociology. I have been babysitting in a casual familial setting since I was a tween and am looking to expand my services into a more professional environment. I offer child care to children from 6 months old to tween ages (including twins). I can also provide household services including cleaning, laundry, cooking, & running errands if needed. I have a driver's license and car if children need to be picked up or dropped off from extracurriculars or any appointments. I am happy to curate interactive and creative activities for kids to enjoy such as art, games, and active time. I love caregiving as it is so fulfilling to be a part of a child's journey into the world. I'm excited to hear back from you.
“We love Janna! I hired her to be my nephew’s after school caregiver. She has completed 3 bookings with us. She is so amazing, she’s on time, a good communicator, has a great attitude and my nephew always is sad when she has to leave. She’s very engaging with young children and has a fun approach to childcare. She also is great at ensuring he completes his homework and maintains the schedule, despite his hyperactive behaviors. We’re always looking forward to a fun day with Janna!”

Hello! My name is Margaret! I’m new here, and excited to start my part time position becoming your house sitter, cleaner, or pet sitter. I can also pick up kids from school, do laundry or errands and things of that nature. I can provide people who can attest that I am trustworthy, kind, and that I learn very quickly! I am super diligent and hardworking and most of all, focused. Hope to talk to you soon!
“Margaret has been a fantastic helper for our family. She's always punctual and reliable. She works really hard and takes directions well. She takes on any new household task that we throw her way with enthusiasm. We are very happy to have found her and grateful for her support.”

Hi, I’m Ana! I’m a proud mother of three grown children and have dedicated the past 15 years to working in schools. Throughout my career, I’ve served as a campus monitor, instructional assistant, and currently as a paraprofessional, supporting and encouraging children ages 4–10. Outside of work, I enjoy creating art, solving puzzles. I love helping children learn and grow while bringing patience, creativity, and kindness to everything I do.

"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."
