I’m excited to be a part of this family, not only as I a nanny, I also have years of experience as a home manager and family assistant. I have a strong background in household management, time management, crisis control and the ability to adapt to any situation I really enjoy the unpredictable role of nanny/house manager. Through my years I have developed excellent organizational and multitasking skills, allowing me to effectively manage household operations, coordinate schedules, run errands and provide administrative and personal support whenever and wherever needed. I take pride in anticipating and planning for the unexpected while solving problems proactively and creating an organized, welcoming environment for your family. Raise in a home in what is now referred to as “Farm to Table” I enjoy using fresh produce, local if possible, in all my meals. Love for cooking became my hobby when our 5 children were small. All my meals can be adapted to dietary concerns and/or those fussy eaters. Based on your needs I could budget/plan, prep or have meals ready to just reheat when you arrive. Just let me know if your needs. Additionally, I worked in the local elementary, Junior High and Sierra College therefore any student concerns I’m sure I can address and have skills to adapt to most academic levels and disciplinary concerns. I also know ASL, a little rusty however with more practice I’m sure that skill will come back quickly. Time management is key and not only will the household tasks and errands be completed in a timely manner., I’m an old school mom, I craft, sew, iron and capable of most household fixes. Understanding the dread of walking into a home where there is a list of tasks and errands awaiting and children to feed, I welcome the opportunity to bring my dedication, strong work ethic and commitment to exceptional service to your family
Hi! My name is Maria. I’ve been working with children since I was 17. I started as an assistant counselor at kids’ summer camps, then worked as an entertainer/animator at children’s parties. In 2020, I worked and volunteered at a Montessori preschool in Sacramento. I also provided consistent babysitting for a girl for six years. I’m patient, caring, and great at building trust with kids. I love keeping children engaged with games, creative activities, developmental play, music, dancing, and outdoor movement—always prioritizing safety and routines. I’m also very comfortable with pets: I love animals and have two cats of my own.
Hello, I graduated from UC Santa Cruz in 2018, and recently received my masters. I am employed full time at a nonprofit organization, and looking for opportunities on the weekends and evenings. I have over 7 years of experience working with children 4-16yrs. My first experience was taking care of my younger cousins, and then professionally working at a school. I supported English-language learners achieve their reading goals. I also was an afterschool program facilitator working with kids 5-10, so I have tried every arts and craft project. I have classroom experience supporting Kindergartners with their dual immersion education & supporting them with their playground activities. I love education and enjoy supporting the development of young minds. I am bilingual and happy to assist with homework, household activities, and chores! I have always enjoyed babysitting and working with kids, which is why I have decided to join UrbanSitter.
“Ashley is very friendly, reliable, and considerate of our household rules and preferences. Gets along great with our kid. As an added bonus, her Spanish skills have really helped our child's Spanish learning.”

Hi! My name is Mary, and I have a lot of hands on experience caring for kids of all ages. I grew up with four younger siblings, so I’ve been helping take care of children my whole life. I’ve also been babysitting since I was 12, which has given me years of experience with both younger kids and older kids. I’ve worked as an aquatic camp youth instructor for 2 years now, where I was responsible for supervising children, keeping them safe, and making activities fun and engaging. I’m currently a part time nanny for a 22 month old boy, so I’m very comfortable with toddlers, routines, meals, playtime, and naps. I enjoy doing activities with kids like playing games, arts and crafts, going outside, reading, baking, cooking, and helping with homework when needed. I’m also happy to help with tutoring, basic cooking, and keeping kids on a routine. In addition to childcare, I love animals and have experience with pet sitting and house sitting. I’m comfortable caring for different pets and helping with walking, feeding, and playtime. I’m also more than willing to help around the house with cleaning, organizing, laundry, or running errands, anything that helps make your day easier! I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy helping families feel supported and at ease.
