Hi! I am a responsible, compassionate, and experienced sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with children and creating a safe environment for learning and fun. I understand every child is unique, and it is important to learn their routines, needs, and interests. I am a recent graduate with a Master of Science in Geography, and have had experience teaching (and caring for) kids from elementary school age to freshman year of college. I am passionate about childhood education and helping kids develop their interpersonal skills. I find it almost magical watching children discover, learn, and apply new things to their everyday life! Although my experience hasn’t followed one continuous timeline, children have been ever-present in my life through a variety of professional and familial settings. I am able to provide tutoring, care, and driving services with a very flexible schedule. I prioritize safety, enrichment, and fun to give parents peace of mind while they’re away. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family!
Hi! My name is Natalie and I’m a reliable, positive, and organized caregiver who enjoys helping families keep their homes running smoothly. While I am newer to professional caregiving, I have experience supporting family members with children, pets, and household responsibilities. Through teaching dance classes and working in leadership roles, I’ve developed patience, strong communication skills, and the ability to create a fun and safe environment for others. I’m naturally energetic, creative, and attentive, which allows me to connect easily with kids and keep them engaged through activities like music, movement, crafts, and games. My goal is always to make families feel supported and give parents peace of mind knowing their babies are in good hands. I’m excited to gain more experience, build long-term relationships with families, and provide a caring, responsible presence in the home. I’m looking forward to meeting you, your little ones and support whether it’s long term or temporary!
Hi - My name is Val. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since I was 18 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands.
“Valentyna has been a wonderful caregiver for our young children. She is consistently punctual, incredibly responsible, and always communicates clearly, which gives us complete peace of mind. Beyond her professionalism, Valentyna is a genuinely kind person. Because she is a mother herself, she brings a deep level of understanding, empathy, and patience to her caregiving. We highly recommend her to any family looking for someone reliable and wonderful!”
Hi , My name is Gianella, and I’m 29 years old.

I specialize in caring for preschool and TK-aged children, and I currently work as an ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapist, supporting children with autism and developmental delays.

I am: • Very patient, joyful, and loving • Highly experienced with behavior strategies, routines, and sensory needs • Comfortable working with children of all abilities • A very active and hands-on nanny who loves engaging with kids • Bilingual – I communicate fluently in both English and Spanish I love animals and have no allergies, so I’m happy to work in homes with pets. 🕒 Availability: • Saturdays – available all day 📍 I have my own car, a valid driver’s license, and I serve families across San José and nearby cities (Campbell, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Saratoga, Los Gatos, Milpitas, etc.).

Hi! I'm Ainsley :) I am a current fourth-year student at San José State University majoring in Mathematics (prep for teaching) with a minor in Child and Adolescent Development.

I am responsible, patient, and dependable, and I strive to create a safe, positive, and engaging environment for every child.

"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."
