I have worked in the professional nanny industry for close to fifteen years. Before that, I worked as an occasional babysitter and camp counselor. I’m certified in first aid and infant/child/adult CPR. I have an undergraduate degree in interdisciplinary studies (social science concentration) from The Catholic University of America. As well as a graduate certificate in human services from Wilmington University. I’m a patient and empathetic person. I think children have a contagious sense of wonder and happiness. They truly make the world a better place. I’m currently looking for occasional babysitting jobs outside my regular nanny position. I look forward to hearing from you!
“Great sitter! Excellent communication, reliable and kind. Look forward to hiring again!”

Hi! My name is Gina, and I’m from Colombia. I’m looking for extra babysitting opportunities. I’m a responsible, respectful, and loving person who truly enjoys helping families and caring for children. Currently, I take care of twin 2-year-olds and their siblings of 4 and 7 years old. I have experience caring for children of different ages — from infants to school-aged kids. In Colombia, I worked with two children, aged 8 and 1, which gave me valuable experience with different developmental stages. I enjoy doing activities such as arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, and helping with routines. My daily tasks include cooking for the kids, school pick-up, laundry, organizing play areas, and assisting with nap and bedtime routines. I offer child care, and pet care. I also love animals! I have pets myself and I’m very comfortable around dogs and cats. I can help with walking, feeding, and playing with your pets if needed.

Hi, my name is Zaahirah and I’m currently going to College of Marin. I am offering childcare and household services. I enjoy babysitting infants, toddlers and children. I have since I was 16. I also taught preschool at the little school in Mill Valley full time as a substitute. I also like to cook and bake.
“I reached out to Zaahirah super last minute, and she came through perfectly! She arrived right on time and handled a lot of moving parts with ease. She kept everything running smoothly, was flexible when I needed her to stay later than planned, and made the whole evening stress-free. I’m so grateful for her help and would absolutely recommend her to other families!”

"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."
