Hi I’m Jhenae! I’m a college student available for one-time or part time work during July-August 2026! I absolutely love working with children! For the past 6 years, I have cared for infants, toddlers, and youth! From part-time babysitting positions, to working summer camps, and volunteer work with children! Families would describe me as caring, responsible, and very attentive. I always prioritize children’s needs while making sure they are having fun! (Away from the technology, of course!) In addition, I have a license and my own car! I am willing to safely drive your children upon request! I am also experienced in caring for pets so I’m willing to help in any way possible! Feel free to reach out to me with any questions!

Hello my name is Angela but I go by Angie. I am 25 years old attending my last year at San Francisco State University. My major is Sociology. I have an AA in human development and childhood development. I would love to work with kids once I get my degree. As for now I am willing to baby sit and care of children any ages. I am very respectful, caring, considerate and very aware of my actions, words and thoughts. I totally enjoy working and playing with kids due to their fun persona. My experience began through family and taking care of children through all ages. Then I joined Urban Sitter in 2020 and decided to open up to all opportunities available. I will be so grateful to gain more experience from the experiences I get through engagement with kids. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let me know. thank you!

Hi :) my name is Inderpreet, and I’m thrilled to offer my babysitting services as I work towards a career in healthcare.
