After working as a nanny for four years during and after my undergrad at UCSD, I moved back home to the Bay Area and began employment at a specialized school for children on the with profound autism. My Human Development degree gave me a strong foundation in child development theories, while my work experience has given me a wealth of behavioral management strategies. Both allow me to create the most supportive and caring environment I can for the children I have the pleasure to care for. I am registered with Trustline and CPR/First Aid certified.
“Kimiro is dependable and hardworking, and was an asset to our household. She prepared lunches, did the dishes, went grocery shopping, and played with our two children (ages three and five). She also helped with additional household chores like laundry, folding, and putting away toys. We highly recommend Kimiro!”
I've been working with children and students for over 10 years as a teacher's aide in special education, as well as being an aunt and helping raise my two nephews and niece :) I've babysat many children over the years and enjoy providing care and educational learning to help foster positive growth and development! :) can provide references!
“She’s great! Would recommend”
Hi! My name is Jennifer, and I’m currently working as a veterinary assistant for a veterinary cardiologist. I’ve been caring for kids since I was about 12 years old—starting with my younger sister, then helping out family and friends. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with children of all ages, and it’s something I truly enjoy. Outside of my passion for caring for animals. Most recently, I worked as a nanny and house manager for a wonderful family over the course of three years. I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for kids, and I take pride in being reliable and proactive in helping households run smoothly. Looking forward to connecting with you!

“Great sitter, would definitely use again!”
Hello! My name is Stephanie, and I have 9 years of experience caring for children of all ages. I’ve worked with multiple private families and successfully managed a nanny share, starting with babies at just 2–3 months old and staying with them until toddlerhood. I also run my own residential cleaning business, giving me flexibility to take on babysitting opportunities. I’m passionate about nurturing children, creating a safe and fun environment, and supporting their growth with patience and care. • CPR & First Aid Certified • Excellent references available upon request 😊
“Best”
I recently graduated San Jose State University in 2025 💙 I'm originally from Southern California! I have a variety of experience for ages 2 months to 12 years. I was a nanny for 2 girls for 3 years throughout college, and do many occasional jobs with multiple families. My style of childcare is hands on, such as doing arts and crafts, playing games, going to the playground. As well as helping out with homework, reading books and more. I enjoy getting to know the children personally and prefer no screen time. Throughout high school, I've gained experience working with children mainly through local church organizations. I'm a former overnight camp counselor for kids. I also grew up with two younger siblings which I took care of almost every day. I love working with kids of all ages, especially younger ones. I have a husky at home, so I am very comfortable with pets! I am fully vaccinated with a booster shot as well. I look forward to meeting you!
“Alyssa was great! :)”

"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."
