Hi! My name is Victoria, I’m 34 years old and I’ve baby sat since high school and college. I have a younger brother who is 8 years younger than me so I’m used to dealing with kids from a young age. I really enjoy kids and I always take the older sister approach when I’m taking care of them. I like to make the environment fun and light. :)
Hi! My name is Nina! I am an experienced babysitter and fun auntie to four beautiful and wild nieces and nephews that I babysit regularly. I genuinely love being around and playing with babies and children of all ages. I am also a good a family helper. I’m happy to run errands, organize laundry and or take children to and from any activities/school, among other things.
Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic nanny with over a year of full-time childcare experience as an au pair. I’ve cared for children from ages 1 to 5, helping with daily routines, meals, playtime, bedtime, and creating a safe and fun environment. I love keeping kids active through outdoor play, sports, yoga, arts and crafts, and creative activities that help them learn while having fun. I also enjoy encouraging healthy habits, curiosity, and independence. As a native Spanish speaker, I’m happy to introduce children to Spanish through games, songs, and everyday conversations if that’s something your family is interested in. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy building meaningful connections with children while supporting their growth and development. I look forward to meeting your family.
Hi - My name is Giovanna and I’m currently work with babysitter in Novato. I take care of 3 boys (4, 10 and 12y). I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, napping time, playdates, extra activities too. I am extremely organized and also offer cleaning and organizing services. I have experience caring for animals such as cats and dogs. In fact, I am passionate about dogs.
I am a dedicated TK Para with a strong professional background in healthcare and behavioral health. I thrive in supportive roles and believe in the power of nurturing environments. My passion truly lies in working with children, | absolutely love kids! This is fueled by my own experience as a mother to two wonderful boys, aged 5 and 14. Balancing the energy of a kindergartner with the curiosity of a teenager gives me unique perspective, patience, and enthusiasm that I bring into both my professional and personal life. I am committed to helping children learn, grow, and succeed! In addition to helping children learn and grow, I can help with light housework work as well as cook and meal preparation.
“We’ve had such a great experience with Devon! She’s watched my 3-year-old a few times now for date nights, and each time my daughter has been comfortable, happy, and well cared for. The biggest compliment is that my daughter asked for her again, which says everything. Devon did art projects with my little one, and when we came home there was so much beautiful artwork they had created together. She also cooked my daughter’s dinner and cleaned up, which I truly appreciated. I felt completely at ease leaving my child in her care and would absolutely recommend her to any family looking for a kind, engaging, and trustworthy babysitter.”

"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."
