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!

Hello, If you are looking for experience you’ve found it! Ive worked in a hospital O.R. The reason I share that is because I do not panic and have seen it ALL. Safety being my number one priority for your child. I am en educated Early Childhood caregiver with all of the CA required Units to teach preschool and fully Red Cross CPR/First aid certified. I was a private Nanny full time for a local family for several years, caring for their 2 children from infancy. Those children are school age now. The last 2 years Ive been providing back up care for business, serving families in the Bay area providing care in their homes. Im a big proponent of play and the important role it plays in a child's development. I especially enjoy outside time. I studied horticulture and am hugely passionate about plants. My life has always been caregiving either of people or plants. Trust is important to me. I am the one you can entrust with your most precious child! It’s a privilege to be trusted by you and to provide your family with excellence. I am a married Mom of 2 girls ages 22 and 19. I look forward to chatting with you about your childcare need.
“I can’t recommend her highly enough! She was absolutely wonderful with my 3-year-old, and I would happily have her take care of her again. What stood out to me most was how quickly and naturally she connected with my daughter. My daughter was completely enamored with her and happily followed her gentle guidance. She was warm and playful, but also incredibly capable and independent — I felt completely comfortable leaving her to take the lead without needing direction from me. I especially appreciated how respectful she was of my daughter as a little person. She would check in with her about what she wanted to do, listen to her preferences, and adapt based on her mood rather than trying to force a particular activity. They read books, sang songs, played together, and she seemed to instinctively know when to engage and when to simply follow my daughter’s lead. She has such a lovely, gentle way with children while still being confident and in charge. My daughter clearly felt safe, comfortable, and cared for with her — and, most importantly, had a wonderful time. We would absolutely love to have her back!”

I am a full time employee as a diesel mechanic at a local tractor shop and a part time student. I also am in the middle of trying to get my own small business up and running. When I am not at school I am hanging out with my family, cooking family dinners or cleaning or maybe even studying for my classes! I have taken three years of American Sign Language in High School. I am not fluent but will be more than happy to try my best if it will come in handy! (Please be understanding I am rusty since I don’t use it much) If you have any questions at all please feel free to message me!
“Ashley was great. Showed up on time and had an easy-going engagement with my son. She fed him and put him to bed, and Nik had a great time.”

"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."
