I’m a responsible, patient, and attentive caregiver with hands-on experience babysitting children of different ages. I support homework, create safe routines, help with meals, light cleaning, and engage kids in positive activities. I’m calm under pressure, dependable, and deeply committed to creating a safe, nurturing environment where children feel supported and parents feel confident.
Hello! My first name is Zyla Janine and I just graduated with my Bachelor’s of Health Science at Sacramento State last year. Aside from caretaking, I am also a barista. I care for children of all ages, seniors, and pets as well! I also offer household services. I am the eldest daughter of my immigrant family— have been caring for my younger family for as long as I can remember. It has always been natural for me since it is a responsibility I have always had. I would bring them to school and back from it, cook for them, tutoring, and clean or run errands whilst keeping an eye on them. I have done all of the same and more with my senior family as well. Not to mention, I was a CPR/AED certified lifeguard with several years experience. Additionally, I did three sports in high school: volleyball, basketball, and track & field. I went to sectionals for shotput and discus back then—and I am currently a 2x champion for the intramural volleyball league at the Sacramento State gym. If your child is interested in sports or education, I am glad to help! I was also a tutor at Kumon, an ELA and math extracurricular program that helped kids with their homework as well as activity problems we provided. I also helped my brother with ADHD with his homework growing up too. I have always been a high achiever in school until now—I was on the Dean’s Honor List for every semester I have been at Sac State! I have been around small caged animals most of my life, like guinea pigs and fish, but I love cats and dogs and would be open to work with them!
“She is very punctual, and we are looking forward to having her with us for our Dad's senior care. We are very pleased with how she interacted with our dad and how knowledgeable she is. ”
Hi! My name is Makaila. I’m currently a student at SJDC. I am offering child care ages 2+, pet care, & household services. My availability is Monday-Friday mornings and full availability on Saturday & Sunday. I have worked with children ages 5-6 for about 6 months as a teacher's assistant. My current job is as an after-school program leader caring for children ages 4-6. My responsibilities include driving to & from the school site, tutoring, & supervising children. I have pets of my own, 3 dogs & 2 cats. I have dog-sat in the past & am comfortable with dogs & cats. I don’t have experience caring for other animals, but I would love to give it a try!
“Makalia was very patient and attentive with my 22 month old daughter. She also offered to clean the home. ”
Hi, I'm Ava! I was born and raised in the Bay Area, then moved to the East Coast with the family I was nannying for at the time. I just moved to Modesto and am looking to meet new families! I've always loved working with kids- I started babysitting when I was 12 and then at my local YMCA when I was 15. I worked summer camp, after school, and child watch programs- with children ranging from 6 months to 11 years in age. When I was 17, I started nannying. My typical duties included driving the kids to after school activities, taking them to the park, meal prep, light housework, and general care. I am very comfortable doing basic chores around the house (e. g. dishwashing, laundry, driving the kids places, and other activities) and I have my own car. While on the East Coast I babysat for multiple families and made awesome connections, I'm really excited to do that here in Modesto! :) My current availability is evenings and weekends. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
“Ava was a great communicator, on time, and great with our 5-year old daughter. Wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.”

"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."
