Based in Sac 📍 Travel often to the Bay Area Hello there my name is Alia! I am a 29 year old communications professional. My hobbies include reading, writing, practicing my Spanish, bike riding, soccer, arts and crafts, and finding new movies to watch! I have over 4 years experience of sitting ranging from 6 months- to age 17. I have no problem coming to you. My favorite part about babysitting is getting to spend time and have fun with the amazing children. I believe every child is unique and different and it’s so fun getting to know all of them and thinking of new activities. I develop close friendships with parents and children so that we become in a way one big family. I strongly prefer cash, Zelle or Venmo. I do charge for the entire time booked, even if you arrive home earlier than the agreed end time. LATE POLICY: If you think you are going to be late or would like to stay out later, please send me a text or phone call an hour beforehand. If not notified, an overtime charge will be applied to double the time you are late. CANCELLATION POLICY: No fee for cancellation up to 48 hours notice. Under 48 hours notice will be charged a 50% cancellation fee. Under 24 hour notice will be charged full fee.

“Flexible, great care. ”
Hi, thanks for checking out my profile! I have 8+ years of nanny experience caring for little ones from newborns to early elementary age. Over the years, I've worked with multiple families long-term and some short term and have also been a traveling nanny so I've picked up plenty of tips and tricks to make life easier for both parents and kids. These days, I focus on occasional care think daytime fill-ins when your sitter calls in sick or daycare is closed, date nights, overnights, and even travel care. Really when you need an extra set of hands. Families appreciate not only the care I give to their children but also the peace of mind that comes from knowing their home and routines are in good hands too. I have a flexible schedule but like to plan ahead whenever possible. If you're looking for a reliable, experienced nanny you can count on for those in-between moments, I'd love to chat! Also I’m new to Urban Sitter but have reviews on care.com.

"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."
