I have worked in the professional nanny industry for close to fifteen years. Before that, I worked as an occasional babysitter and camp counselor. I’m certified in first aid and infant/child/adult CPR. I have an undergraduate degree in interdisciplinary studies (social science concentration) from The Catholic University of America. As well as a graduate certificate in human services from Wilmington University. I’m a patient and empathetic person. I think children have a contagious sense of wonder and happiness. They truly make the world a better place. I’m currently looking for occasional babysitting jobs outside my regular nanny position. I look forward to hearing from you!
“Great sitter! Excellent communication, reliable and kind. Look forward to hiring again!”
Hi families! My name is Karolline, I’m 23 years old, and I’ve been working with children since I was 15 years old. I started babysitting because I wanted to earn my own money at a young age, but it quickly became something I truly love and enjoy doing. Over the years, I’ve cared for kids of different ages and personalities, and I love building genuine connections with them while creating a safe, fun, and loving environment. I’m very patient, responsible, energetic, and creative. I love keeping kids engaged with fun activities like arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, reading, games, baking, walks to the park, and imaginative play. I’m someone who enjoys being active, and since I love hiking and nature, I always encourage healthy, fun activities instead of too much screen time. Families would describe me as reliable, caring, organized, and easy to communicate with. I understand how important trust is when it comes to your children, and I always do my best to make both parents and kids feel comfortable and happy. I love being the babysitter that kids are excited to see again! I’m CPR certified, have my own reliable car, and maintain a clean driving record, so transportation and safety are never a concern. Whether your family needs occasional babysitting, date nights, after-school help, or a regular nanny, I’d love the opportunity to help make your life a little easier while making sure your kids are having fun and feeling cared for.
“Karol was very attentive and caring, and got our three kids in bed before I can most nights! Would definitely recommend.”
Greetings, my name is Madisen. I am Currently a College Of Marin student majoring in Business. I recently took a class in Psychology for child and development and instantly fell in love with the class. I learned a lot when it comes to the development of children overtime as well as the importance of child psychology. My experience working with children began in 2017 when I decided to baby-sit many families kids in the Bay Area. I also worked at a daycare in 2020 for many months to gain more experience in taking care of kids from ages 4 to 13. I really enjoyed being in such a wonderful environment and working with kids. Furthermore, I am licensed and have a reliable car. I speak both English and Spanish fluently , I am also very responsible, patient and creative but best of all I love playing with children! A little bit about myself is that in my spare time I like to play soccer, bake, and spend time with my family. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this letter. I look forward in hearing from you and getting to know your kiddos!
“Kids had a great time with Madisen. Will for sure have her back.”
Hello, my name is Ana and I’m currently a senior at Dominican University of California. I am offering child care, pet care, senior care, and household I love being a babysitter and have worked with kids ages 1-15. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and meal cooking. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own father who suffered from a stroke in 2021 and left him completely paralyzed from the right side of his body, so I am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. I have 2 cats and 2 dogs of my own, so I am more than happy to work with families that have cats and dogs. I am also more than happy to take dogs out for walks and to appointments if needed!

"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."
