Hi! My name is Natalie and I’m a reliable, positive, and organized caregiver who enjoys helping families keep their homes running smoothly. While I am newer to professional caregiving, I have experience supporting family members with children, pets, and household responsibilities. Through teaching dance classes and working in leadership roles, I’ve developed patience, strong communication skills, and the ability to create a fun and safe environment for others. I’m naturally energetic, creative, and attentive, which allows me to connect easily with kids and keep them engaged through activities like music, movement, crafts, and games. My goal is always to make families feel supported and give parents peace of mind knowing their babies are in good hands. I’m excited to gain more experience, build long-term relationships with families, and provide a caring, responsible presence in the home. I’m looking forward to meeting you, your little ones and support whether it’s long term or temporary!
Hello! I’m a patient, dependable, and compassionate caregiver with years of hands-on experience caring for children, seniors, individuals with special needs, and animals. I helped care for my grandmother by assisting with her daily routine and medications. I also regularly looked after my younger sibling and many young relatives while my parents were busy. I have personal experience helping care for my brother with cerebral palsy, and in school I volunteered with classmates with down syndrome and dyslexia, supporting them with classroom activities. I’ve also cared for animals throughout my life. I’ve raised cats and dogs, cared for rabbits, birds, fish, and chickens, and fostered many stray cats until they were adopted. I nursed injured and sick stray cats and dogs back to health, cared for pregnant cats, and assisted during births when needed. I’m attentive, calm under pressure, and committed to providing safe, loving, and reliable care to every person and pet I look after.

Hi! My name is Sofia, and I am currently offering my services for childcare, senior care, and animal care. I have worked with children in some capacity or another for over 10 years, including as a social worker, higher education professional, horseback riding teacher, and camp counselor. I have extensive experience in caretaking for children ages 4 and up and lots of animals, too! I enjoy crafting, spending time outdoors, and being a supportive and positive presence for children of all ages. I am happy to help with homework if needed and light household chores. I am also comfortable with some degree of senior care and have experience caring for those with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. I hold my bachelor's degree from the University of San Francisco, am currently earning a professional coaching certification, and happy to provide my resume and references if needed.
“Sofia is kind, prompt, and responsible. She always goes above and beyond. She is also very communicative.”

"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."
