I have been working with children for about 25 years. I have experience working with multiple children at a time and children different ages, including infants. Working with children has always been my passion. I am very energetic and love taking kids for walks, to the park, library, enjoy doing art projects, read books and just love watching kids grow and watch them learn new things. I also speak German and Bosnia . I am a mother of two school aged children. My son is 17 and daughter is 15 years old. I have worked with many families and therefore have many references. I am available for occasional evening and weekend babysitting.

Hello 👋 My name is Carla, and I’m a proud Redwood City native where I live with my 17-year-old son and our playful kitten. I work full time at Stanford Health Care Monday through Friday, and I have been babysitting for many years to earn extra income while doing something I truly enjoy: spending time with kids. I am mostly available for babysitting after 4:30 PM Monday through Friday (if available) and some Saturdays (afternoon and on) I’m fully COVID-19 vaccinated (since January 2021), get my flu shot every year, and hold current CPR certification. I’m fluent in both English and Spanish, and I bring patience, reliability, and genuine care to every family I work with. What I can help with: • Preparing meals and snacks for children • Organizing fun activities and games • Supervising bathing and dressing • Performing light housekeeping tasks • Driving to activities (with advance notice; if recurrent, I ask that you provide a vehicle or cover gas expenses) A little more about me: Outside of work, I enjoy going to the park, small hikes, drawing and painting, arts and crafts, and watching my favorite childhood movies. I am a huge dog and cat lover. I also go to Orangetheory and love it for keeping me active and energized. My goal is to build trusting relationships with families and create a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids can be themselves while learning and growing. I look forward to connecting. Please feel free to message me with any questions.

Hiii!! My name is Carmina. I've been working with kids since I was 15. I started by watching my younger nephew and niece, and then began babysitting for kids in my neighborhood. Over the last few years l've worked primarily with babies and toddlers, but I love kids of all ages. Things that I like to do If it's nice out, I like to take the kids outside, go to the park, museums, go for walks or the beach if parents are comfortable with that. I’m a strong swimmer so your kids are always going to be safe with me. But if is not nice outside, I whip out my crafts skills, also love reading to kids, doing puzzles, playing with blocks, dolls or whatever the kids or babies are skill to play. In my free time I like to read, play basketball, a bit of soccer, and tennis! Also going to the beach . Spanish is my first language so I can teach to your kids Spanish. CPR and first aid certificate. Until recently I was taking care of a 21 months old baby full time, I take care of her since she was 7 weeks old. Before her I worked with a family for a year and half with a boy who was 4 months old when I started and was 2 years old when I finished and parents decided to sent him to preschool! two years, before him I work with a 2 years old and a new born. I still babysit for them for date nights or whole weekends if the parents need a break, they kids are now 5, 3 years old a 16 months old baby! I have a clean driving record and I can provide references.

Hi! I’m a 32-year-old professional nanny from Turkey with over six years of childcare experience. I spent two years as an au pair and have been working with wonderful families in San Francisco for more than four years. During this time, I’ve cared for children of all ages and needs—everything from premature babies to children with special needs. I’m also trained in the Montessori approach and have developed strong skills in sleep training and potty training, which I love using to make life easier for families. I’m experienced in all aspects of childcare, including laundry, meal prep, cleaning, bath time, diaper changes, and planning fun, engaging activities. Families often describe me as calm, proactive, and adaptable, with a positive attitude that helps me handle any situation. I also enjoy cooking and love creating meals that suit a family’s unique preferences. What’s most important to me is building a close, family-like bond with the families I work with. I strive to be a trusted role model and a “big sister” to the children I care for, sharing my skills and life experiences in a way that helps them grow. If you’re looking for someone who’s caring, responsible, and truly passionate about working with kids, I’d love to meet you!

Hello!! Thank you for reading my information!! About me...I have two children son 33, daughter 27 I have loved caring for children and have been babysitting since I was 10. When I was 22 I opened a large family day care. That daycare consisted of 14 children from newborn through school age. I did this for 14 years. I loved every minute. We took those children on many adventures, most children stayed with us longterm and could read before kindergarten. During the last few years that I had my daycare I was also going to school to be an ASL interpreter. Taught the children in my care some ASL. Unfortunately had to close the daycare in 2002, sadly the house we were renting was sold. I then went on to work as a nanny with four of the children from two families, one was a newborn, they had attended my daycare, I was their nanny for four years. I decided it was time to go back to school. While attending college I worked in the child nutrition department for an elementary School District. When I realized that college was not my path, I went on to work in upper management with Starbucks, and Whole Foods. For the past 7 years I have been the food service lead for a high school food service department. During that time I babysat in the evenings with multiple families. I was fortunate that when I created my Urbansitter account I was chosen to work with a family of four In Belmont. Caregiving and mother's/father's helper. A Wonderful family with two children. I have been with them now into our 5th year. They're are moving so it is time to share my love with another family. I am comfortable working with children of all ages. I am a very loving, playful and easy going, I am confident in my caregiving and can adapt easily to any situation that may arise. There has not been a child that I cannot work with. My personality...laid back, funny, hard worker, I do not frustrate easy. I love the challenges that come with children. I communicate well and I am very easy to communicate with. My thought has always been "what would I expect for my children" I am an artist and very creative. I have owned and operated MANY businesses, last one being a License Plate art business. I am very excited to finally have re-opened an Urbansiiter account.I hope that between my video and this very long "about" I will have an opportunity to work with your precious family! Cheers!! Tracey
