I’m a Transitional Kindergarten (TK) teacher with about a decade of early childhood education experience in the Bay Area. I work with 4-5 year olds every day, so I’m well-versed in age-appropriate activities, gentle behavior redirection, and keeping kids engaged and safe. I also pet sit and babysit on the side! I also have house cleaning and experience working at a dog boarding facility. I like to stay active, love music and spreading joy ! I
Experienced NICU nurse of 6 years and postpartum doula, DONA trained, providing expert newborn care and in-home support for families. Skilled in helping with feeding, general newborn care and calming techniques, including working with multiples. I offer a blend of professional care and light household help to create a calm, supported environment for both baby and parents. I also assist with older children as well, but my speciality is newborn care.
Hi! I have a lot of babysitting experience, paid and unpaid, from babysitting younger siblings and cousins to neighbors and family friends. I used to tutor kids at the Mathnasium and can defintely help with homework. I’ve also been a court appointed special advocate for a foster child, so kids with challenges do not scare me. I’ve also house-sat and taken care of all types of pets (friendly pets, haha). I graduated from UC Berkeley 2 years ago and am now working as a legal assistant and saving up while I apply to law school. I think that about covers it, but let me know if you have any more questions (:
Hi there! I’m a warm, patient, and reliable caregiver who genuinely loves working with children and animals. My previous nanny experience includes providing regular after-school care for two young girls, managing school pick-ups, evening routines, and weekly date-night babysitting. As a proud owner of my dog, Nutella, I’m also a huge animal lover and more than happy to help care for pets alongside your children. I look forward to supporting your family with energetic, safe, and trustworthy care!
I have a strong caregiving background shaped by years of hands-on experience with children, seniors, and pets. I grew up helping care for my younger sister, who is now 17, as well as several younger cousins, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to create a safe, fun environment for kids of different ages. I also have experience in senior care, most meaningfully, I cared for my great-grandpa when he was 92. Supporting him with daily tasks, companionship, and mobility needs, helped me develop empathy, attentiveness, and the ability to stay calm and supportive in sensitive situations. I am also very comfortable with pets. I have two cats and a dog of my own, so I am used to feeding schedules, walks, and playtime. and managing different personalities and energy levels. Overall, I am reliable, compassionate, and easy to communicate with. I am naturally patient detail detail-oriented, and respectful of family routines. whether it is helping with kids, seniors, pets, or household tasks. I bring a positive attitude to caregiving for every role.

"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."
