Hello parents, I provide high-quality, attentive childcare with a calm, nurturing, and structured approach. I take pride in creating a safe, engaging, and supportive environment where children feel secure and well cared for. I have hands-on experience working with children and focus on maintaining routines, encouraging positive behavior, and supporting each child’s individual needs. I can assist with school routines, homework, enrichment activities, and bedtime, while ensuring a smooth and organized daily flow. In addition to childcare, I offer light household support, including meal prep, tidying, and organization, helping maintain a clean and stress-free home environment. I am comfortable with school pickups/drop-offs and driving, and prioritize safety, punctuality, and clear communication at all times. I’m known for being reliable, detail-oriented, and professional, while still warm and approachable with children. I adapt easily to different family dynamics and aim to build long-term trust with both parents and kids.
My name is Julia. I’m 28 years old and I have a bachelors in Early Childhood Development. I love children very much. I was a kindergarten teacher for years and an au pair in the US for six years working for two loving and amazing families In Mill Valley, CA. I am now a permanent citizen. I’m very comfortable with any age group. Have tons of experience with newborns as well! I have just moved back to the Bay Area after living in South Lake Tahoe for about a year. I am a very outdoorsy person and I love dogs, cats and reptiles! I am very organized, love fitting in some kitchen tidying up and laundry folding while the kids nap! Please make sure any overnight requests are made at least one week in advance. I was also a house manager for years for the same families I babysat, so I’m super comfortable with house sitting, dog sitting, tidying up the home, driving around to help you with errands and more :) feel free to lay on me all your needs and I can do my best to accommodate them. - willing to remove shoes, wear masks or any other personal family requirements you might have.
“Julia was great to work with! Quick to respond to texts and last minute changes and really flexible when our baby didn't go to bed as planned! She was also incredible creative with coming up with soothing techniques! Would definitely hire her again!”
Hi! I am just ending 8 great years as an after-school nanny and family assistant and before that 7 great years as a preschool teacher, working with kids aged 2. 5 --5. I worked within 3 classrooms, experiencing all the ages from toddlers to pre-k. I have worked with children of all ages on some level - babysitting, preschool, after-school care, summer programs and tutoring - for the past 30 years. I naturally gravitate to children and get on their level pretty easily while also maintaining the responsibility and authority a child might need when not in the care of parents. My care philosophy is very child centered and respectful, similar to the philosophies of RIE, Magda Geber and play based learning. I am available for date nights, after school and weekend care. Some of my favorite things to do with kids are read (my children's book library keeps growing), craft activities and cooking (bonus: I do the cleanup!).
Hi parents, With over 4 years of childcare experience, I provide a safe, engaging, and fun environment for children of all ages. I am CPR and First Aid certified, fully vaccinated, and bilingual (English & Portuguese). I would also describe myself as punctual, organized, and kind. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
Hello Parents, My background with kids have ranged from infants too the age of 10. I also have previous experience with working with multiple children at once. During my college days I family I cared for and spent 3 years with their twins. Since than, I have done a series of occasional jobs working with more than one child. Depending on the age group, I take pride in having fun and active approach while baby sitting. I am big fan of staying away or limiting screen time. Therefor depending on the age, I turn to play time, whether it’s in the play pin, or going outside in the yard. If families are comfortable with their children leaving the house I have no issues with taking them out outing at the a nearby park. Other activities we would do at home include fun art activities, dancing (if your children enjoy it,) learning games, and reading books. If your children are in extracurricular activities I do have experience in driving family cars and safely talking them to their destinations. This does include picking them up from school. As for pets, I have experience with big dogs to littles ones. Throughout my life I have had experiences owning big dogs such as a black lab, and German shepherds. I have also owned 2 medium dogs, pinscher mixes, and 2 terriers. Last but not least I own a little chihuahua who I share custody with my parents. If you have any questions or need references please do not hesitant to reach out. Thank you, Cheyenne

"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."
