Hi families! My name is Amber, and I’m a nurturing and energetic caregiver with a strong background in both childcare and healthcare. I’m currently a nursing student at the University of San Francisco, where I’m deepening my knowledge of child development, safety, and wellness—skills I bring into every babysitting experience. With over 6 years of experience in customer-facing roles and a background supervising children ages 5 months to 6 years old at The Bar Method, I’ve developed the ability to stay calm under pressure, adapt quickly, and create fun, engaging, and safe environments for kids of all ages. What sets me apart: CPR/First Aid knowledge through my nursing education (and working toward official certification) Experience with Autism, ADHD, and Dementia A warm, friendly, and creative personality Experience tutoring peers, which translates into helping with homework or schoolwork at home A reliable, organized, and equity-driven mindset: I value every child’s uniqueness and treat them with respect and kindness. Whether you’re looking for a dependable sitter for your child, a responsible helper for school-age children, or someone to step in last-minute with patience and care, I’d love to support your family’s needs when I’m not busy with school. Additionally, I offer household cleaning and pet services! Because of my school schedule, I’m looking for occasional care! Looking forward to connecting!
“Amber was very kind and patient with my 3 year old daughter. She was actively engaged in playing and even brought some of her own things for them to do together.”
Hi! I'm Ashley and I’m a middle school science teacher. I am currently very busy at the moment and not looking for childcare jobs (UrbanSitter just doesn’t let me chose that as an option). Thank you!
“Ashley was awesome, kids loved her! ”
My name is Camila, I am 31 years old. I am from Brazil. I’m an energetic and affectionate person, responsible, kind, and respectful. I love spending time outdoors, but I can also make any day indoors fun and joyful. I have experience caring for multiples, infants, toddlers, and children of all ages. In addition to my experience as a nanny, I worked for 9 years as a dance teacher in a daycare/preschool, spent 5 years as a summer camp leader, and also entertained children at birthday parties. I am fully vaccinated and CPR/First Aid certified. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology, a degree in Educational Psychology, and have experience as a teacher’s assistant with a strong background in child development. I’m also an actress and ballerina with a passion for the arts, and I hold a valid California driver’s license.
Hello! I'm a professional and am looking to use my extra time helping out families. I've led summer camps for elementary school kids. I'm great with children and have six nieces and nephews who I adore. I used urban sitter when I lived in nyc. I am a fan of non-screen time play. We read all of their favorite books, played pretend, built structures, scooter and skate. I’ve relocated to Santa Clara and am rebooting my services in urban sitter. I have an M.S. degree from Columbia University. American Red Cross : Adult, Child and Baby First Aid/CPR/AED certificate: 020KFCJ

"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."
