Hi! My name is Colette, and I'm currently a graduate student at Stanford. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching toddlers and kids since I was 16. My responsibilities have included transportation to and from school, supervised activities, cooking, and homework help. I'm an experienced tutor from elementary to high school with a specialization in writing and English. I'm passionate about helping children love learning and feel confident in their skills! I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I enjoy cooking and baking, and I am happy to aid in preparing meals or teaching cooking and baking skills.
Hi Everyone - my name is Emma and I'm a third year undergraduate studying bioengineering. I am passionate about emergency medicine and plan to go to medical school. I love working with kids and have broad child care experience working with all ages. In past summers I worked as an aquatics director at a summer camp. Additionally I have taught swimming lessons. I have babysat for parents on my club water polo team here at Stanford (ages two and four years old). I’d be happy to provide references or chat over the phone to see if I’m a good fit for your family!
Hi, my name is Renad, and I’m excited to apply for a babysitting position! I have several years of experience working with children of various age groups, from toddlers to pre-teens. I've spent time helping kids with their homework, especially in math and geometry, and I love seeing them gain confidence in subjects they once found difficult. In terms of child care, I provide a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can learn, play, and grow. I enjoy doing creative and engaging activities like arts and crafts, story time, and indoor games. I’m especially good at helping with schoolwork and can provide tutoring in math if needed. I’m dependable, patient, and always keep communication open with parents. I’m also trained in basic child safety and have experience following routines, managing mealtimes, and handling bedtime routines. If you're looking for someone who’s caring, reliable, and can offer both childcare and academic support, I’d love to be considered! Although I’m a bit scared of dogs, I’m completely fine around cats.
I worked full-time caring for a 1-year-old baby, supporting daily routines, playtime, and age-appropriate activities. Currently looking for extra babysitting opportunities.

"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."
