Hello! I’m Jenny, your kid’s favorite sitter. 🙂I’m patient, energetic, and have experience with special needs. I use gentle parenting techniques and I’m very comfortable working with multiple kids. I’ve worked as a nanny and a babysitter for over two decades. Current CPR certification. Along with small humans, I am very comfortable with animals. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats with health needs in the past and feel comfortable giving meds.
Hi, my name is Paula. I am a 31-year-old child and adolescent therapist. I love interacting with kids and taking care of them. I have experience with all ages both as a childcare provider and in a clinical setting. Spanish is my native language and I am fluent in English. I can speak fluent Catalan and I want to learn French. ♥️ I enjoy all types of outdoor activities such as soccer, biking and roller blading. Also love activities at home such as a reading, crafts, and puzzles.
Hi, I’m Leighanna! I’m a nursing student with over 11 years of babysitting experience, starting when I was just 13. I’ve cared for children of all ages and pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and calm in any situation. Alongside childcare, I also offer dog sitting—I have two sweet pups of my own, Okia and Yumi, so animals are very close to my heart. I earned my undergraduate degree from San Francisco State University and am now pursuing my master’s in Nursing. Outside of school and sitting, I love to bake and have been dancing for 22 years, which keeps me creative, active, and full of energy. I bring that same warmth, responsibility, and enthusiasm into every family I work with and truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for kids. 🚗 Rates & Transportation: 🚗 My standard rate is $30/hour minimum for one child. I’m always happy to discuss rates and am comfortable accepting bookings at a different posted rate if one is listed. For families located across the bridge, I kindly ask for assistance with the bridge toll, which is currently $8.50. ❌Cancellations❌ Because I reserve time specifically for your family and may turn down other opportunities, any booking canceled with less than 48 hours’ notice will incur a cancellation fee equal to one hour of care at my normal rate. I completely understand that unexpected situations can come up, and I appreciate your understanding and consideration of my time. Thank you!

🧑🧑🧒🧒Repeat families: DM if my sched is unavailable; I’ll do my best to make it work. 🙋♀️Hi! I’m Ms. Dani! 👩🏻🏫I am a full-time teacher in a private school in Milpitas with 7 years of experience in child care/childhood education. (Preschool to middle school) 🏠I am from the 🇵🇭 and moved to the 🇺🇸in 2017. I currently reside in Fremont, Ca. 🚭 I live in a non-smoking home, and I’m hoping to work in one as well. 🎓I have a bachelor's Degree in Communication Arts, Early Childhood Education, and Caregiving Certificate. ⛑I hold a valid Adult and Pediatric CPR and First Aid AED certification. 👶 I do help with whatever the child needs (feeding, light cooking, potty training, tidying, folding clothes). Games, crafts, tutoring, and homework. 🚙 I drive my own car. 💉My household is fully vaccinated and all of my vaccines and tests are updated (Covid, Flu, T-Dap, TB test, etc). 🥰 I treat children as my own and love to make them feel safe with me. Feel free to ask me any questions! If I don’t respond right away, it’s because I am focused on children during work hours. ⌚️I require 3 hours minimum job service to compensate for my commute. 🐈 (feed,litter,etc) 50$ flat 🚍One-way School Pick-up or Drop off: 50$ flat (no car seat) ⌛️Time is very important to me as I have other jobs and a family waiting for me. Please inform me if running late, especially in the evenings, I appreciate tipping to make up for tardiness. 🤧 If your child is sick especially if contagious, please consider cancellation or at least pay appropriately. I could consider caring for a sick child but please do inform me beforehand. I have other children to protect. Thank you for understanding. 🧩 If your child has special needs, it would be helpful to add it to the job description. 💩 I usually carry gloves with me, but it would be nice if you provided them if your child needs diaper changes. 🗓️ Please check my calendar for my availability. 🦄My babysitter/teacher goal: Help children create the fondest childhood memory they could have! 👩💻Here is my LinkedIn account if you want to take a look:[removed] (Yes, I was a journalist before I found my love for working with children!) 💰Payment method: I prefer Zelle or cash, but I also accept check or credit card payments through this app Thank you for your interest! 💕❤️💕 Looking forward to caring for and meeting your family.
“Kids got along very well with Ms. Dani. She is great and will repeat definitely.”

"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."
