As an aunt and caregiver, I love working with families and their children! I have worked as a day camp counselor, swim teacher, newborn and young child nanny, as well as volunteer with programs like Jasper Ridge Farm and CASA. My favorite part about working with kids and babies is getting to know their individual personalities, as each one is so different! I particularly enjoy and excel at working with kids under the age of five, including newborns and infants. I would say my general approach is to provide fun, creative, and engaging care, with *a lot* of patience and communication. I also believe in gently reaffirming boundaries and doing our best to stick to your child's individual routine. I hope to promote a sense of confidence, creativity, and security in the children I provide care for. I have been infant CPR certified within the last 2.5 years, and will be renewing asap. I have also been lifeguard certified and am more than happy to get re-trained if your child has access to a private pool.
“Shelby has cared for our almost-3yo daughter several times from infant through toddler stages. I’m always impressed at her ability to meet her at her level over time. She is always engaged with her when they are together, bringing lots of fun and energy while also maintaining boundaries. I would highly recommend.”
I have been babysitting regularly since middle school. I am CPR, First Aid, and Lifeguard certified. I’ve worked with various families with kids under one year old through elementary schoolers. I have two younger siblings as well, who I often watch and take care of. I have lots of experience with pets - I have two cats, who I am the primary caretaker for, and I have experience dog-sitting. In the summers I work as a sleep-away camp counselor. I am friendly, patient, and responsible. I can speak both English (native speaker) and Spanish (proficient).
Hi! My name is Yoselyn, and I am a responsible, caring, and dependable childcare provider with 2 years of experience working in a licensed family daycare, caring for infants, toddlers, and young children. I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and nurturing environment where children can learn, play, and thrive. I am a native Spanish speaker with conversational English skills and am certified in Pediatric First Aid, CPR, and AED. Families describe me as patient, trustworthy, organized, and attentive to children’s needs. I love helping children learn, grow, and feel confident while providing reliable and compassionate care. I am happy to assist with child-related tasks, including preparing simple meals and snacks, keeping children’s areas clean and organized, tidying play spaces, and supporting daily routines. Families can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and committed to creating a safe, warm, and supportive environment for their children.
Hi, my name is Jazlyn, and I’m currently a college student looking for a part-time opportunity. I’ve always loved caring for kids, babies, and toddlers, and I’ve been doing so since I was 15. I’ve worked with two families in the past, caring for children ages 3 to 12. My responsibilities included school drop-offs and pick-ups, light housekeeping, and taking children to after-school activities. As well as helping with nighttime routines like dinner, bath time, and getting ready for bed. A little about me: Clean driving record and a valid driver’s license Non-smoker Fully COVID-vaccinated Love arts and crafts Enjoy cleaning and organizing Flexible schedule Responsible and always on time
“Jazlyn is my neighbor and she has taken care of my 1yr son. She loves my son and enjoys giving him baths, feeding him, and keeping him entertained. I would definitely recommend Jazlyn!”
Hi! I’m a college junior (Texas Christian University, Neeley School of Business) currently home for the summer working part-time at a law office. I’m available several afternoons, and most evenings and weekends—and I’d love to help with babysitting, tutoring, pet sitting, dog walking, or running errands. I’m a reliable, nurturing, and outgoing person who truly enjoys spending time with kids and animals. I have strong communication skills and take pride in being someone families can count on. I’m very active and love being outdoors, whether that means playing games with kids, going on walks, or keeping pets engaged and happy. I have a car so I’m flexible and dependable when it comes to getting where I need to be. I have 6 years of experience and am happy to provide references upon request. Looking forward to connecting soon!

"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."
