Hello Families ! My name is Salma, 27 years old and currently work as a credentialed School Psychologist. In my free time, I open my availability to new or returning families for sittings in the evening time (preferably on the weekend or Fridays). A little about me and my experience working with children and families. Simply put— it has always been something I was naturally good at and truly enjoyed doing! I have an extensive background experience working with kids of all ages (infants-high school) and I aim to integrate these experiences to explore what works best for everyone I work with. Spending time, caring for and being a role model for children is truly one of the biggest and most important jobs anyone can take on! Overall, it has taught me how to be patient, loving, fun and an out-going individual. Thank you for your consideration!
“Very professional with an amazing vibe. Reliable, easy to work with, and SF local is a bonus. Highly recommend.”
Hi there! My name is Claire and I am an incoming sophomore at UCR offering dependable childcare, senior care, pet care, and household services. I am new to this app, however I have plenty of experience working with children. I have a genuine passion for taking care of others, managing a home, and bringing a warm, positive energy into every family I work with! 🤗 I have years of experience working with both children and seniors. I love engaging with toddlers and I have experience with taking care of babies! I’ve taken care of family relatives and I worked at an Elementary School after school program in the past. I assisted kids with their homework, did arts and crafts with them, changed diapers, etc. As an older sister, holding down the house and looking after others comes completely naturally to me! In addition to childcare, I am incredibly comfortable working with seniors. Through my volunteer work at Laguna Honda Hospital, I have experience holding meaningful conversations, and assisting with daily household tasks. I am a massive animal lover! If you have furry family members, I am more than happy to feed and care for them as well. Whether you need a helping hand with your kids, your loved ones, your pets, or your home, I am here to help! P.S. I am new to UrbanSitter but I’ve worked with 10 families so far! I hope I can work with your family next!
“Claire was awesome and super sweet with our two year old! She had great vibes and endless energy, keeping him entertained all day. She was also totally unphased by him struggling with his afternoon nap - staying calm and patient to try and get him down and just rolling with it when he ultimately refused to go down. Will definitely have her back in the future!”
Message me if you may have any questions or one-time jobs. Hello! My name is Vanessa. I am born and raised in the Bay Area. I currently have a dog of my own and grew up with two dogs. My first job was as an assistant teacher at preschools and elementary schools, while I was going to community college. Eventually, I graduated from the University of California, San Diego with a Bachelors's in Communications and a Theatre minor. I love performing and am seeking a job that can give me some of the flexibility for that (mostly for the evenings). I also have a drivers license and have my COVID vaccines. Hope to talk soon!
“Vanessa arrived on time and had great communication during her afternoon with my son. He said he had so much fun playing and we would love to book Vanessa again! Thanks Vanessa!”
Hello families! My name is Kelly and I'm so excited to meet you. I recently graduated from the Burnett School of Medicine at TCU with a Master's of Medical Science, and I am available for light part-time or occasional jobs. I graduated with a BA in English in 2015, and worked for several years in teaching: high school music and dance programs, summer camp operations, and most recently in administration for a nonprofit preschool. In addition, I spent a year at a local Children's Hospital, planning age-appropriate activities for children of all ability levels. I enjoy primarily working with infants and young children. My favorite activities to do with kids include playing in the park, reading, arts & crafts, and music. I'm proficient in basic Spanish and love to practice with little ones! I am Infant & Child CPR/First Aid certified, and enjoy creating safe and fun spaces for children to play.
“Punctual, professional and fantastic with the kids. Would definitely hire again. ”
I'm a caring and creative caregiver with hands-on experience as a preschool teacher, where I worked with children ages 2-5 for a full school year. In the classroom, I have worked with children with neurodivergence, including ADHD and autism. I have over 6 months of babysitting/nannying experience working with 8-month-olds to 10-year-olds. In addition, I am an eldest daughter who has basically raised my younger sisters, who are now in their late teens, so I technically have years of experience with up to 17-year-olds. I have an associate's degree in Child and Adolescent Development, giving me a strong understanding of developmental stages and age-appropriate care. I am also First-Aid & CPR-certified and fully vaccinated. My top strengths include planning engaging activities, encouraging imaginative play, and supporting children's growth in a fun, safe, and nurturing environment. I love helping kids learn, explore, and feel confident being themselves!

"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."
