Hi! Im currently searching for a morning position to fill my schedule. in the afternoons I provide care for a six year long term family. I have many years of newborn care experience, and would prefer to grow with a family. I love to be creative, have fun, cook and play! Would be happy to chat or answer any further questions!
Hello, my name is Liliana (or Lily)! I was born and raised in San Jose and am excited to be working as a nanny with local families while completing my master’s degree in counseling psychology at SCU! I have been working as a nanny since fall of 2025, and have had the pleasure of caring for children ranging from 1 to 13 years old. I really admire children's curiosity, creativity, and intelligence, and I find so much fulfillment in watching them grow! I am currently available for occasional and one-time evening jobs. Relevant education and certifications: - Undergraduate courses in child development. - Pediatric CPR/AED certified by the Red Cross. - Valid CA driver's license. About me: - I am an avid reader and have a deep appreciation for children's literature! Some of my childhood favorites include "Arnie the Doughnut" and "Sarah, Plain and Tall." - I love cooking and baking, and am a big proponent of involving kids in the kitchen – it teaches life skills, supports mathematical and scientific development, and is a great vehicle for creativity! - I grew up participating in dance and theatre, and still still take ballet classes in my spare time! I also love fostering creative expression in kids, whether it be music, dance, drawing, or imaginative play! ________ My policies: - Booking: I ask that all new families book me through Urban Sitter. Families looking for long-term care can schedule recurring services off-site, so long as the first booking is made through Urban Sitter. I also encourage families to message me before booking to confirm my availability. - Daily minimum hours: I work a consecutive two-hour minimum, and generally only accept jobs that meet this requirement. In the event that a family books me for a shorter period of time, they can expect to pay for a minimum of two hours, even if they only need me for one. - Cancellation policy: I ask that any scheduling changes be communicated as early as possible, and I will share any scheduling conflicts ASAP (usually 4+ weeks in advance). I do not charge for canceled bookings unless I am given less than 24 hours notice, at which point I will charge 50% of the total original booking cost. - Mileage: I have my own car, and am happy to offer driving services to families. Because not all jobs require driving, I do not factor it into my hourly rate. Instead, if a family requires driving, I will charge a reimbursement of 76 cents per mile.
My name is Ashley, I been a nanny for 20+ years age ranging from newborn to age 18. Nurturing children through various stages of development and managing household responsibilities. I have experience working with 4 children at a time ranging from infant to teenager. Managing both newborns and toddlers simultaneously can be demanding but manageable with some planning. I can involve the toddlers in gentle activities that won't disturb the newborn, such as coloring, building blocks, or playing with soft toys. While the toddlers are occupied, I can attend to the newborn's needs, such as feeding, changing diapers, or putting them down for a nap. It's all about finding a balance between meeting the needs of both age groups while ensuring their safety and well-being. I find joy in understanding children and what brings them happiness. Building those connections and seeing them smile is rewarding. I can transport children to various activities and taking care of light housekeeping and cooking.
“Ashely worked for us for 6 weeks while our nanny was on vacation. She was amazing in all ways. She was quick to connect with both my kids (5 & 2) and brought them to new fun activities. She also was a huge help around the house and did everything from household items to family cooking. She is extremely responsive and organized. We loved having her as part of the family and will continue to have her babysit on date nights. ”
Hi! My name is Liana and I’m looking for one-time and occasional babysitting jobs.

Hi! My name is Catia — I’m 25 years old and based in Palo Alto. I have several years of experience working with children from infants and toddlers through elementary school, both in private homes and educational settings. I currently work as an Infant & Toddler Teacher Assistant at a children’s center, where I help provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for young children. Alongside my childcare experience, I’ve worked as a nanny and babysitter for multiple families, caring for children as young as 4 months through elementary school. I love creating fun, engaging, and safe environments where kids can learn, play, and feel comfortable being themselves. I’m also CPR and First Aid certified, bilingual in Spanish, and experienced in supporting children with different learning and behavioral needs. Families describe me as responsible, kind, and dependable, and I truly enjoy building positive relationships with both kids and parents. I’d love the opportunity to bring that same care and energy to your family! -Catia :)
