Hi, I’m Emily! I have worked in childcare for about 10+ years, I have been a sitter/nanny, a counselor, a swim coach/instructor and a day care worker. I have a day job where I work for ESPN but I love to work with kids because it makes me happy! I can work with a wide range of ages and a wide range of kids!
“Emily was great. My kids warmed up to her quickly. She was on time and asked great questions. She has great communication. I would definitely request her again. ”
I’m a calm, organized, and caring individual with a deep passion for learning. I firmly believe that kindness and understanding our emotions can truly make a difference in the world. As a nanny, I find joy in nurturing children’s growth and development while fostering an environment of warmth, fun, and learning. I was a RBT, working with individuals in the autism spectrum. Currently, I’m a OTD student, pursuing a career as a pediatric occupational therapist . I’ve taken specialized courses in human biology, psychology, and child development that have expanded my understanding of how children grow physically, emotionally, and cognitively. I’m excited to continue building on this knowledge while connecting with and engaging children in meaningful ways. I love taking children outdoors to explore parks and nature, helping them develop a sense of wonder and adventure. Watching kids learn, grow, and experience the world around them is incredibly rewarding. I’m happy to provide references from my previous nanny positions and look forward to getting to know your family. Let’s connect and chat about how I can contribute to your child’s development and happiness!
“Amanda took care of our daughter for 2 years and was the most incredible caregiver. She's very reliable, hardworking, and has a natural ability to connect with children. I highly recommend her!”
Hello UrbanSitter families (: My name is Ana (: I currently work as a substitute teacher for preschool, elementary, middle school and some special education/inclusion classrooms. I have previously worked with infants and toddlers (0-3) as an early interventionist/child development specialist. So I have lots of experience with children of all ages & developmental levels (: I’ve also worked in summer programs, volunteered in children’s hospitals & have been babysitting/nannying professionally for 10+ years. I have done everything from long term, date nights, classroom pods, play dates, school or practice pickups, overnights & weekends. Special skills include arts & crafts, sports, games, hiking, homework help, dancing & singing (warning: not that great at the singing part) LOVE dogs, open to cats & other pets. As for availability, Being a substitute I don’t always know my exact location or end time. For the most part it’s M-F, end times vary from 2:45pm to 4pm. Depending on the distance from the school to home, I wouldn’t be able to give exact weekday evening availability. Weekends are typically open (: *CURRENTLY UNABLE TO ACCEPT JOBS WHERE MY OWN CAR IS NEEDED TO TRANSPORT *CPR & First Aid trained **Vaccinated and Boosted *bilingual English/Spanish
Hello everyone reading this! About me: I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old and absolutely love children! Whether it was for the neighbors next door, at the church nursery or for some of my high school teachers, I grew up watching kids! Although I'm more familiar with children from infancy to 6 years of age, I don't shy away from kids who are older. I am a very upbeat and outgoing person so I'm always getting down on the floor and playing with children and helping them expand their imagination! If you have any questions or want to know anything else about my experience, please don't hesitate to ask! :)
“Kaci was wonderful! She arrived on time and was personable and professional. My kid had a hard time when we left but she stayed calm and sent a picture of him happily playing after we left. It’s intimidating hiring someone you’ve never met before to watch your beloved child. I’m happy to endorse Kaci for any caregiving responsibility and I look forward to working with her again! Thank yoj for everything, Kaci.”
Hi there! My name is Emma, and I am so grateful you took the time to look into my account! A little about me, I grew up in Ventura and am currently in my final year of graduate school at Pacifica Graduate Institute to become a marriage and family therapist. I am currently working as a school therapist twice a week, gaining practicum hours towards my license. For undergrad, I studied anthropology and geography at Cal Poly SLO. In my free time, you can find me spending time in nature, playing guitar, practicing yoga, trying out new recipes, and going for runs. As the oldest girl in a long line of cousins, I have been babysitting most of my life. I am an aunt to four beautiful children aged 10, 8, 3, and 1. I temporarily moved into my brother's house the summer after the second oldest child was born to lend an extra hand. This gave me full-time experience working with infants and toddlers beyond the babysitting I had previously done. I am currently working at a PK-8 school and am very comfortable working with school-aged students as well. I believe in fostering creativity, confidence, and empathy in children while providing a safe, warm, and welcoming environment. I look forward to meeting with you and seeing if I am a good fit for your family! I am happy to answer any questions you have so feel free to reach out!

"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."
