Hello, I am currently available for part-time or one time caregiving support. I am looking to supplement my retirement by continuing to do what I am most passionate about—working with children. I am CPR and First Aid certified and have 17 years of experience as a paraeducator in special education. In addition, I have 18 years of experience as a respite provider working with ambulatory clients on the autism spectrum. For the past 3.5 years, I have also served as co-owner and teacher at an infant daycare. The last two years I’ve helped with my daughter’s different foster babies (ages 3 days- 2 years) after work and on the weekends (Currently there are no fosters.) My experience is further informed by being a parent to a child on the autism spectrum, which has deepened my understanding, empathy, and commitment to quality care. I would welcome the opportunity to offer supportive, compassionate, and reliable care to your family. I have my immunizations up to date: Covid 12/25- Booster Flu 12/25 TDAP 5/22 MMR 6/22

***45+ repeat families as of 8/2026, just not through Urbansittter!!! *** Hello! I'd really love to get to know your family! I'm selectively applying for engagements, so if I've clicked on you, there's something I loved in your write-up! I am recently back to work after taking a two year sabbatical. During that time, I sat for a bit over 100 different families and am asked back about half the time! At this point I am only doing evening/night-time sitting, and depending upon what care you need I will consider doing weekend daytime too. I really enjoy being around kids of all ages. If your kid(s) are of the right age, I love to play games, do puzzles, read, or as I see some of you are up for, taking kids around SF to explore this incredible city! I'd love the opportunity to help your household out by responsibly doing some fun things with your child(ren). Or, if they're too young for these things, I'm very responsible and will ensure your newborn or toddler are well looked after. I babysat when I was a teenager, and was a part-time nanny for a couple of years in college, but in my adult life I play pinch-babysitter to friends or family when they get into a bind. Or when they're going to an all-day wedding they need to plan weeks in advance! As such, I know that emergencies come up and I'd be ideal for last minute bookings with my open schedule! Happy to have a conversation or an online meeting if you want to get to know me before having me to your home. On a personal front, I love to travel! In fact, that's part of why I'm continuing to be on Urbansitter, to help finance my next trip - please help me!!! :) Also I am a puppy lover who doesn't mind cats, so if you're a pet family, all the better! Hope to connect soon!

Raemi was wonderful and we would love to work with her again! She was very responsive, messaged to confirm the night before, came exactly when she said she would, was thoughtful about asking clarifying questions about care, gave me confidence that she could handle the situation even though our daughter was very upset when I left, and provided me relevant updates during the night.

Hi there, I am a fully vaccinated career nanny who is seeking occasional childcare positions! I have 12 years experience working with all ages from newborns to teenagers and am passionate a lot chid froth and development! I am a professional, attentive, caring, warm and loving career nanny who has all 12 early childhood units, CPR/First Aid certifications and am preschool teacher qualified. During my time with children, I find moments to teach emotional intelligence and mindfulness, as I am passionate about children learning about their emotions and how to regulate them. This looks like fun, deep breathing exercises, and narrating/identifying the big emotions I notice they are feeling. Additionally, part of my care is taking them on outside adventures, making crafts, playing board games, helping with homework, reading together and engaging in the fun activities your child enjoys! I look forward to working with you and your family :)

Sylena was super kind an super patient with my two year old. My daughter had a broken leg and Sylena handled it wonderfully. My daughter had a great time and kept asking the next day if she would come back to play!

Booked by 10 families in San Bruno, CA

Hi there! My name is Claire and I am an incoming sophomore at UCR offering dependable childcare, senior care, pet care, and household services. I am new to this app, however I have plenty of experience working with children. I have a genuine passion for taking care of others, managing a home, and bringing a warm, positive energy into every family I work with! 🤗 I have years of experience working with both children and seniors. I love engaging with toddlers and I have experience with taking care of babies! I’ve taken care of family relatives and I worked at an Elementary School after school program in the past. I assisted kids with their homework, did arts and crafts with them, changed diapers, etc. As an older sister, holding down the house and looking after others comes completely naturally to me! In addition to childcare, I am incredibly comfortable working with seniors. Through my volunteer work at Laguna Honda Hospital, I have experience holding meaningful conversations, and assisting with daily household tasks. I am a massive animal lover! If you have furry family members, I am more than happy to feed and care for them as well. Whether you need a helping hand with your kids, your loved ones, your pets, or your home, I am here to help! P.S. I am new to UrbanSitter but I’ve worked with 10 families so far! I hope I can work with your family next!

Claire was awesome and super sweet with our two year old! She had great vibes and endless energy, keeping him entertained all day. She was also totally unphased by him struggling with his afternoon nap - staying calm and patient to try and get him down and just rolling with it when he ultimately refused to go down. Will definitely have her back in the future!
