Hello! My name is Kelly, and I have experience with kids and pets! :) Please message me for additional availability as I work full time (11 AM - 8 PM) with semi flexible hours and am a fur mom. I can try to accommodate if noticed in advance. ***Note: I am only looking for occasional jobs*** PET CARE: I currently have 2 puppies and a cat at home (11 month old maltipoo, 11 month old domestic shorthair, and 6 month old mini aussie). All three are extremely sociable and friendly towards other animals. We currently live in an apartment, but do our best to make up for the lack of a backyard by taking them to the dog park, on drives, play dates, and giving them enrichment toys! CHILDCARE: I have mostly worked with ages 4-12 prior to COVID-19. However, I have worked with younger ages and am comfortable with them. In all 4 years of my high school career, I taught children from 2nd grade to 11th grade, so I am also able to help with any homework necessary! With that being said, I have experience in breaking the ice with children slowly to gain their trust, as well as yours as a parent. As a person, I am extremely cautious and aware of my surroundings, so I will always assure that your child(ren)’s safety comes first. I look forward to meeting you and your family and to also help you in anyway that I can!
I am currently working as a lead preschool teacher. I have been working for the school for over 5 years. I have a bachelors degree in Human Development with a concentration in Childhood development. I am still actively taking classes to obtain my site supervisor early childhood education permit. I enjoy working with young children and helping them grow into confident, caring individuals. I love to spend quality time with them and help them reach their goals. I have passion, love, and patience for the work that I do. I am responsible and caring and value each child for who they are.
“She was awesome with our 2 yr old. We highly recommend her and would definitely have her again.”
Hi - my name is Graciela and I’m currently a senior at UC Berkeley pursuing a microbial biology degree🐻. I enjoy working out, health, painting/drawing, hiking, soccer, and anything to do with arts&crafts (legos, building stuff etc) !! I am offering child care and housing services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching toddlers and kids since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included tutoring during summers, arts&crafts and personal care. I have experience working as a certified caregiver for seniors and willing to offer senior care services, if interested. I can cook, clean, and run errands. I am also happy to work with families with dogs. I also speak Spanish. Feel free to message me anytime! ☀️

Hello! I'm a professional and am looking to use my extra time helping out families. I've led summer camps for elementary school kids. I'm great with children and have six nieces and nephews who I adore. I used urban sitter when I lived in nyc. I am a fan of non-screen time play. We read all of their favorite books, played pretend, built structures, scooter and skate. I’ve relocated to Santa Clara and am rebooting my services in urban sitter. I have an M.S. degree from Columbia University. American Red Cross : Adult, Child and Baby First Aid/CPR/AED certificate: 020KFCJ
“Van was very professional and on time. She cared for and played with my 3 year old and kept her entertained all day!”
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!”

"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."
