I recently moved to San Mateo and I’m currently looking for a nanny position closer to my new location. My name is Amanda and I have over 8 years of experience caring for children of all ages.
Hi there! My name is Jaz and I’m a Bay Area native living in San Mateo and looking to support local families with childcare needs. I am experienced in working with children of all ages through my experience in the education sector and extensive nannying/babysitting. I am truly passionate about caring for kids and understand the importance of being a nurturing, patient, and dedicated caretaker. In my free time, I spend time with my two silly, loving, wonderful French Bulldogs and love to bake cakes.
Hi there! My name is Candelaria, but everyone calls me Cande (like “candy”). I’m the oldest of three siblings and currently a college student at Cañada College, majoring in radiology. Alongside my studies, I specialize in child care and household services. I’ve always loved being around kids! Since I was 14, I’ve cared for children ages 3 and up. I can help with school drop-offs and pick-ups, tutoring, creative activities, and playtime to keep them engaged and happy. I’m also happy to help with household tasks such as cleaning, running errands, doing laundry, and preparing snacks for the kids. I’m very comfortable with pets. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, from big to small breeds, and I love cats too. I’ve never had any issues caring for both cats and dogs. In the mornings, I help one family by preparing breakfast and school lunches, washing and putting away dishes, waking up the child, helping them get dressed, and ensuring they are ready for school. When the mother is traveling, I also take the child to school. For the second family, I care for three children. My responsibilities include picking them up after school, driving them home, and taking two of them to their extracurricular activities. I wait until their activities are finished and then bring them back home. Occasionally, I stay over on weekends to watch the children while the parents are away on trips.
Hi! My name is Evie and I am 21 years old. I am a student at Cañada College majoring in Social Work. My passions include working with kids, art, and cooking. My five years of professional childcare experience include working summer camps, being a teachers assistant, working at two daycares, babysitting, and tutoring. I have worked with kids of all ages. When I show up for work I will always show up prepared. I often will plan crafts and activities that the kiddo will like. In the past I've taken my kiddos to the park. I am happy to cook, clean, and provide transportation regularly or as needed. I also am happy to help with homework. I have a safe car and a clean driving record. I hope you consider me as an option to be your 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."
Laura F., mom of two
