Hello family! My name is Hildy. I’m a fun-loving, experienced nanny with over 10 years of childcare experience and CPR/First Aid certification. I enjoy being part of a child’s everyday world helping them learn, play, and feel safe and supported. I have taken early childhood education courses, incorporate Montessori methods, and have worked as an assistant to an after school teacher. I also have experience with children of different ages and needs, including ADHD, high-functioning autism (I’m familiar with IEP accommodations), and food allergies. I’m very mindful of safety and provide healthy meals or snacks. In addition to childcare, I also have experience in elderly care and companionship, which has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and compassion. I’m dependable, punctual, calm, patient, and I support families with routines, school drop-offs and pick-ups, activities, meal prep, errands, and light housekeeping. I find caregiving to be a rewarding and fulfilling career, and I’m truly honored to be a part of a child’s growth and development.
Entering into my senior year as a student-athlete at San Jose State, I'm excited to spend my summer providing exceptional childcare. My positive experiences in previous babysitting roles, coupled with being a middle child, have instilled in me a genuine love for kids. I have three years of experience caring for children of all ages and am comfortable with up to two children at a time. I'm patient, creative, friendly, and very comfortable enforcing household rules. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and even some technology-based games with children. I prioritize open communication with parents, using verbal updates at pickup or your preferred method. I'm happy to help with cooking, crafts, carpooling, and swimming supervision. I'm eager to bring my energy and enthusiasm to your family this summer and create a fun, nurturing environment for your children.
Hi wonderful families! My name is Sophia & I am 23 years old. I graduated with my Associates degree in Science/Health Care. I grew up as an only child for 21 years until my mom recently had a second child which is my baby brother who i adore so much and has taught me so much on how to take care of young infants/toddlers. He is my world. He’s 2 years old. I do occasional jobs on here and if the family likes me (which they usually do! Hehe) they give me a call or text whenever they need me to come back! Experience: I was a nanny to a 1 year old boy for a couple of months until the family had to move. I love being a sitter, i have always babysat my little cousins starting at 16 years old. I have also volunteered at a preschool watching infants as young as five months and as old as five years old. I am also CPR certified and can show proof of my certification. I am okay with dogs or cats in the home. Please let me know if you have any questions, I will be happy to hear back from you!
“Sophia was friendly and on time. My 2 year old had a great time with her! ”
My name is Fernando and I am a current after school teacher and college student. I provide child care, pet sitting, and household services. Having raised and taken care of my siblings and cousins has helped me gain experience and knowledge on how to care for younger children. The raising of children and helping families through dependable and quality childcare have been my career highlights over the last six years. Working as a helper with kindergartners in an after-school program has taught me how to be patient, cool-headed, and creative when interacting with kids. I am always eager to adjust to your preference in communication to update you about your child's progress during the day. I drive and absolutely adore animals, so there is no problem having them along with us as part of the fun and excitement.
Hi my name is Mikayla and I am currently a student at San Jose State studying child development. I have a passion for working with kids and I have a lot of experience working with all ages. I am super outgoing and a very organized person. With my major I have been able to learn a lot about children and how to be a good care giver at the best of my ability. I enjoy being outdoors and spending quality time with my niece who is 10 who I have babysat on multiple occasions since she was an infant. I am super flexible and excited to work with new families!

"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."
