Hi there! I'm Toni, and I’ve spent over a 20 years working with kids and families both as a social worker and a soccer coach. I absolutely love creating spaces where children feel safe, happy, and excited to explore. While I’ve got a strong background in understanding kids’ developmental needs, I also believe in the power of play and laughter. Whether we're kicking a soccer ball around or diving into a fun activity, I’m here to help your little ones grow and shine.
I’m Lily Zimmerman, I’m 20 years old and heading into my third year at the University of Washington where I study psychology and nursing. I’m CPR certified and about to get my CNA license, and I’ve been working with kids for about 6 years through Marinwood Summer Camps. I have worked with children of all ages through babysitting and working at Marinwood camps. I have spent my summer and school years working with children, and genuinely love spending time with them.
With over 20 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens, I offer a patient and friendly approach. I also have my own 13yo. I am comfortable caring for up to two children at a time. I will carefully follow your household rules. I am happy to engage in board games, puzzles, legos, pretend play and outdoor games that promote learning and physical activity. I prioritize open communication with parents, providing regular update, as requested. I am CPR and First Aid certified, formerly a Red Cross volunteer. I am an active community volunteer at my child's school and the library. I have a car and am comfortable with pets as we have a havapoo. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my experience and passion for childcare to your family.
Hello dear families! My name is Yamel and I am thrilled to share my availability to help your family. I consider myself a positive, patient, reliable and flexible person. I speak Spanish and English. I have experience volunteering at a daycare in my home country (DR) where I care for infants, toddlers and preschoolers. Last year I took care of a 3 year old sweet boy and a 6 year old smart girl for a year. I occasionally serve in our community church on Sunday with our babies and toddlers. I am also currently taking care of three kids 4, 5 and 7 years old during weekdays. I am seeking for occasional and weekend opportunities to help others families around the Bay Area and would love your family be one of them. Looking forward to hearing from you! Warmly, Yamel

"UrbanSitter has supported my needs for reliable and joyful sitters. Whether it be for work, recreation or last-minute emergencies, we've made wonderful relationships with local sitters who have become a part of our family!"

"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
