Hi! My name is Katherine and I am based in San Jose. I am a preschool teacher for 10 years. I also have a degree in Management and Fine Arts. I love drawing, singing, and playing with kids.
I have had years of experience working with infants, toddlers and children. I am currently a full time preschool teacher. I have also taught Kindergarten, Fourth and Fifth Grade. I was a private caretaker on 2 separate occasions for children with special needs. Throughout my life, I have had 8 dogs and 10 cats. Pets are not a problem. I am incredibly patient and nurturing. I love the outdoors and enjoy trips to the park, beach and strolling around. Age permitting, I love to bake and cook with kids. I am also a great homework helper. I have current Infant/Child/Adult CPR Certification.
Hi! My name is Michelle. I have over 15 years of experience working with children, from newborns to 12 years old. My background includes 10 years in daycare and preschool settings, along with 5 years as a professional nanny. Most of my nanny experience has been with infants under 12 months old, but I truly enjoy working with toddlers and older children as well — engaging them in fun, developmentally appropriate, and enriching activities tailored to their age and personality. I am currently working full-time with a family and am looking to pick up additional hours on weekends or for date nights. I’m happy to provide reliable, consistent care for families who need occasional support. I also offer pet-sitting services if needed. My childcare style is gentle yet firm — calm, patient, and attentive, while still being playful and engaging. I value creating a nurturing, structured environment where children feel safe, respected, and encouraged to explore and grow at their own pace. Certifications & Background: • Bilingual in Korean and English • Background in Early Childhood Education • Completed coursework in Child Development • CPR certified • TrustLine registered I would love the opportunity to support your family and care for your little one. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile! Warm regards, Michelle
“Michelle has been great when we've worked with her! Our 4 year old daughter has special needs which requires a very patient, kind, and understanding individual and Michelle has been all of the above. She picked up all of the instruction we gave her about our daughter's specific needs, asked appropriate questions, and has always shown interest in her growth and development even beyond their time together making suggestions of games/activities she might enjoy. We would definitely recommend Michelle.”
Hi! My name is Sarah and I am 28 years old. I am originally from the Bay Area and currently work as a Registered Nurse. I have a Bachelors of Science in Nursing from University of San Francisco and have 5 years of bedside nursing experience. I have worked trauma, cardiac, neuro, ortho and in post-operative care nursing. I currently work in a Vascular Surgery Clinic. While my most recent work experience is with adults, my passion is working with kids. I began babysitting when I was 13 and have experience with newborns to teenagers. In addition to working for UrbanSitter, I also previously worked for Trusted, a Bay Area-based babysitting service that was acquired by Care.com. I have also worked as a part-time nanny. If needed, I more than happy to provide multiple references! Working as a babysitter affords me the opportunity to take a step away from the stress of nursing as well as be a resource for families. As a child care provider, I love providing activities to kids as well as being outdoors. I’m happy to take your kids to the zoo, the park or just out in the backyard. I also love doing art projects and making things from scratch (like ice cream in a bag for the older kids). Thank you for your consideration! I hope to meet you and your family soon!
Hi there! I'm a 26-year-old who genuinely loves working with children and creating a safe, positive, and fun environment for them to grow in. I'm reliable, friendly, and patient, and I truly enjoy helping kids learn, play, and feel supported. I'm CPR certified and have over 6 years of caregiving experience, giving me strong skills in responsibility, communication, and attentive care. I also have excellent references available upon request. I'd love the opportunity to bring my energy and experience to your family! I also have a profile on care.com
“Abigail was amazing ! It was my first time getting a sitter but she was right on time, confident, and calm. She messaged me throught the day to keep me up to date on what fun activities they were doing which really put me at ease. I returned back to a tidy home and my little girl sound asleep.”

"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!"
Natalie O., mom of five

"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."
