Hi, I'm Srishti! I am a recent college graduate with a degree in Psychology living in San Jose. I have a diverse background in childcare—including experience as a neurodivergent camp counselor and as a volunteer at a local elementary school. My academic background gives me a deep understanding of child development, which helps me create supportive, engaging environments. I love keeping kids active with art projects, park outings, and playing games. I am also fully available for dog, cat, and house sitting. I have multiple local references available and would love to set up a brief introductory meeting to ensure a perfect fit for your family!
Hi, I’m Terri I have 7+ years experience working with various ages of children and babies and I’m a Silicon Valley native. I’ve grown up helping out with babies to teenagers, I’m the oldest of six and I love animals of all kinds and I don’t mind them in the home.
“She is sweet, punctual, sent me a photo and update while I was away, and did everything to make Tay as comfortable with the transition as possible! He was happy and calm when I returned :)”
Hi, my name is Lauren. I have three years of experience working with children (both formal and informal). I have done pickup/drop off for grade school kids, taken them to the library, park, and extra curricular activities. I prioritize creating fun, engaging, and playful environments while taking care of children. I’m currently working full time, during the school year, as a Behavior Technician at Los Altos School District; I have worked in ABA therapy and alongside children with ASD for a little over three years now. I graduated from SJSU in May 2025 with my B.A. in Behavioral Science. If you’d like to see if I have availability that isn’t listed on my calendar, please feel free to reach out and ask! Also open to date night hours/weekends. Look forward to meeting you & your kiddos! :)
“Lauren has been a fantastic caregiver for our girls (4,8) as we adjust to new surroundings in Palo Alto and a new role for me as a student.”
Hi! My name is Elizabeth, and I’m a Business Economics student at UC Riverside. I have experience working with children through volleyball camps and at a daycare, where I helped supervise activities and create a fun, safe environment. I’m patient, responsible, and happy to help with homework, crafts, meals, and playtime. I’m also comfortable caring for pets, with experience taking care of my own cat and friends’ dogs. I look forward to providing dependable, caring babysitting for your family!
Hi there! My name is Yesenia, and I’m so excited to offer child care this summer to support your family. With over 10 years of experience working with children from 6 months to 12 years old, I bring a warm heart, a creative mind, and a lot of energy to everything I do. I’ve worked as a babysitter, in daycares, after-school programs, and summer camps, and I’ve even performed in children’s shows at California’s Great America—so keeping kids smiling and engaged is second nature to me! I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Social Science (Preparation for Teaching) from San Jose State University and a Master’s degree in Teaching from Santa Clara University. I’ve also taught in bilingual classrooms for students in TK through 6th grade. Education is a huge passion of mine, and I love helping children grow, explore, and learn in fun and meaningful ways. I am passionate about working with kids because they keep me young at heart! I’m constantly inspired by their natural curiosity, joy, and honesty. From DIY art projects to story time to nature scavenger hunts, I believe in keeping kids busy in ways that continue to spark curiosity and creativity. Through it all, I lead with patience, positivity, and consistency. I believe children learn best by example, and I aim to show them how to be kind, respectful, curious, and confident in themselves. I’m caring, dependable, communicative, and always ensure I create a safe, supportive space where kids can be themselves. Outside of work, I love arts and crafts, reading, hiking, beach days, and staying active—especially with my dog and bearded dragon by my side. If you’re looking for a sitter who is responsible, nurturing, and genuinely passionate about working with kids, I’d love to be a part of your family’s summer!

"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."
