Hi everyone,my name is Olga and I am a responsible, energetic, friendly, sociable, punctual, and easy going person. I enjoy spending time with kids. I used to work as a teacher assistant when I was in my country. I have experience at taking care toddlers, infants and school age kids. I like outdoor activities like going to the park, walkings, soccer, going to the library, and going to new places with kids. I also do drop offs and pick ups. I have experience at date nights and weekends. I have my own car, and I have references. I will be happy to help you with your kids. Hope to hear from you soon!!
“Olga was great!”
I'm a sweet, independent, proactive, fun, lovely, calm, easygoing, and strong individual. Currently residing in Redwood City, I firmly believe in the importance of children's education, which begins at home and is a shared responsibility between parents and caregivers. Additionally, I have excellent driving skills, and clean record. I’m certified by American Heart Association CPR/RCP Pediátrica. Also, vaccinated for Covid-19. I am bilingual Spanish and English. I can teach Spanish too and early childhood development units. Whit prior experience caring for children ranging from 18 months to 17 years old.
Hello! I graduated from San Francisco State University with a BA in Child and Adolescent Development. I have my Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education, which adds to my knowledge of children. I currently work for a public school district where I work with children that have special needs. Prior to that, I was a teacher at a private school. I have worked with a variety of ages, but primarily with 3-4 year olds for 5 years. I have worked as a nanny for two children for 5 years, while also babysitting for many years before this. When babysitting, I primarily have worked with school aged children, K-6th grade. I have had some experience with infant children under the age of 1 for about four years. I hope that I can be of assistance to you and your family. Thank you!

Hi families! I’m Marilyn! I'm CPR and First Aid certified and have experience caring for kids from toddlers to teens (ages 2–13). I love keeping things fun with outings to the park, library story times, or helping with ballet, swimming, and after-school activities. I’m currently working with a few local families and am happy to help with light errands, dog walks (I’m a big animal lover!), and keeping things tidy around the house. I’m reliable, warm, and always happy to plan ahead especially for date nights or evening babysitting. Looking forward to meeting your family!
Hi there! 👋 I'm Paveerat, but everyone calls me Pearl. I've spent over 20 years caring for children, and babies, toddlers, and kids up to about 10 are my specialty. The youngest baby I've cared for was just 1 month old. As an au pair, I lived with a family for two years and cared for their two little ones, who were 1½ and 2½ when I started. I've also worked in preschools and summer camps. I love getting kids outside! We go to the park, the playground, museums, or anywhere they're excited about. On days we stay home, I plan play that fits their age, like blocks and pretend play for little ones, or crafts and games for older kids. What families tell me sets me apart: • Babies and toddlers are second nature to me. Bottles, diapers, naps, and keeping a newly mobile baby safe. • I'm calm and creative, whether it's a rainy afternoon or a meltdown before bedtime. • I use positive discipline. No yelling, no fear, just connection and clear boundaries. • I follow your routines and rules exactly, from mealtime to bedtime. • Kids open up to me fast. I think it's because I take them seriously. I'm available weekday evenings from 5:30 PM to midnight and all day on Saturdays. I'm perfect for date nights, events, or a regular go-to sitter. I'd love to hear about your family. Send me a message! Thank you, Pearl
“She kept Jack extremely busy with great games and crafts - was great with my crazy dog too!”

"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."
