Hello! My name is Chloe; it is great to meet you! As a recent college graduate and the eldest of seven siblings, caretaking has been a central part of my life for as some of my earliest memories. Growing up, I took on the responsibility of watching and caring for my sisters and borther from a young age, which naturally fostered my deep compassion and patience. This lifelong experience, combined with being a certified Emergency Medical Technician, equips me with a unique ability to connect with and support children across a wide variety of ages and needs. Whether navigating daily routines or managing unexpected situations, I am dedicated to providing a safe, caring, and fun environment for every child in my care!
Hello I'm Sabrina! I'm 26 and been a nanny/babysitter for 5 years. I have experience with children newborn-12 years. I worked in a preschool for a few months pre-Covid. I worked in the 2 year old “growing together” (similar to a mommy and me) class and 5 year old class. I also filled in in other classes with other age groups. Feel free to reach out with any questions! Thank you for your time and consideration, I look forward to hearing from you.
Hello! Thanks for visiting my profile. I have caregiving experience with ages 1-7 as well as coaching/teaching experience with elementary and middle school students. I currently am between jobs. Most recently I was a nanny and am available for occasional work in the San Diego County area for the next two weeks. I am kind, patient, and genuine with children. I study Montessori methods and my style is gentle yet firm. I enjoy being around kids of all ages as well as dogs and cats, and am comfortable caring for pets. I also enjoy tidying and organizing.
LVN,. BLS CPR certified. I worked for Healthcare for 25 years, widower. My children are all grown up and married. I’ll be available MAY 8th - 17th all day.
Hello, It is very nice to find you here. I began my childcare, elder care, and pet care services as a teenager, and I am now in my mid 50s. I love caring for others and making them feel supported. I have worked with children from infants through high school. As a teen, I was the neighborhood babysitter :-). After I finished college, I became a substitute teacher for grades K-12 and subsequently an elementary school teacher of 2nd grade. Kids are great little people! During my high school years, I was the neighborhood pet sitter. Currently I am able to go to the pet's home to make sure they are taken for walks and fed along with other needs. Dogs, cats, pet rabbits, and other furry creatures are little bundles of love. :-) My elder care experience began with my grandmother who developed Alzheimer's nearly 10 years ago. I took care of her daily living needs, cooking, errands, and social events. I have since had a number of elder care clients who need support in their living space. It gives me great pleasure to know I've made someone else's day better with my caring skills. Looking forward to chatting with you.
“Tanya has helped me run my household several times in a few different capacities over several decades. She was an excellent baby sitter for my son, and I also have trusted her with house and pet sitting. Tanya is reliable, honest and a real pleasure as a person. She is kind, compassionate and attuned. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”

"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."
