Hi, I am a current clinical psychology doctoral student at Palo Alto University-Stanford PsyD Consortium. I have previous experience working with kids at a summer camp as well as teaching English to school age kids. In my free time, I enjoy basketball, photography, reading, and quality time with loved ones.
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! I’m Sophia, a behavioral aide at a therapeutic day school who is passionate about supporting children’s growth, learning, and well-being. I’ve been babysitting and tutoring since I was 14 years old and have experience working with children of all ages, from newborns through teenagers. In addition to childcare, I have worked as a family assistant, helping with household tasks such as cooking, cleaning, running errands, and caring for pets. I enjoy being a dependable extra set of hands and helping families keep their busy lives running smoothly. In my current full-time role, I work with elementary and middle school students who have a variety of learning disabilities and mental health challenges. This experience has made me especially comfortable working with neurodivergent children and supporting kids in educational settings. My strengths include creating consistent routines, planning fun and engaging activities, helping with homework and academics, and building positive, supportive relationships with children. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and help create a safe, fun, and engaging environment for your children!
Hi! It’s a pleasure to meet you. My name is Ana, I’m 26 years old, and I have over 8 years of experience caring for children of all ages. For the past 3 years, I’ve been working in a preschool while completing my studies to become an early childhood educator. Working with children is truly my passion. I love supporting their growth, teaching through play, and creating a warm, loving, and safe environment where they can thrive. I’m patient, kind, and always attentive to each child’s individual needs. If you’re looking for someone caring, reliable, and dedicated to your child’s development, I’d love the opportunity to connect with you!
“I am the director of the preschool where Ana is employed. She has been a teacher in our infant classroom, working with children aged 6 to 18 months, for nearly two years. Throughout her time with us, Ana has consistently demonstrated exceptional care and dedication. She has a warm, playful nature that the infants respond to with joy, and she has a remarkable ability to make them laugh and feel at ease. Ana is also highly attentive, often the first to notice if a child is unwell or if something seems off. She is a dependable and hardworking member of our team, always willing to step in and support wherever needed — whether that's assisting in other classrooms or helping prepare meals. Ana’s kind and nurturing personality, combined with her strong work ethic, make her an valuable part of our staff and a truly outstanding teacher.”
Dedicated and nurturing Nanny with over 6 years of hands-on childcare experience, including live-in and independent roles. Highly adaptable to each family’s unique needs, with a strong reputation for reliability, emotional intelligence, patience, and proactive support. Committed to maintaining a safe, structured, and loving environment while actively supporting parents in daily routines. Known for long-term positions, minimal absenteeism, and consistently high standards of care. Excellent cook, organized household helper, and energetic caregiver. Strong references.

"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."
