“Shelley did a terrific job taking care of our 3.5 year old. She was great about jumping right in to feed her dinner, play games, read to her, and give her a bath before bed. She was very professional, communicative, and puntctual. I highly recommend her to other families, and we would love to have her come back to take care of our daughter.”
Hi, My name is Alicia! I've been babysitting for 10 years now and it never feels like work to me because it's always fun! I've babysat kids in all different age groups, from 8 months to 10 years old. My favorite things to do while babysitting are going to the park, coloring, reading books, playing outside games, like tag. Pretty much anything to stay active and have fun.
Hi! My name is Julia I’m a wife, mother, auntie, daughter, artist and working professional. My daughter (she is 5 yrs old), will stay home with my husband while I come to your location. Naturally as a mother myself, I will treat your child(ren) with the upmost respect and professionalism. You can depend on me to follow your house rules, lead by example, and provide loving care with full integrity. Some of my alternate experience with children include but not limited to: camp leader for over 16 different weeks (5-6 graders), sunday school lead for infant room 2 years~ (0-2 yrs old), after school volunteer tutor 3 years~ (1st and 2nd graders), childrens paint parties (all ages) + tons of babysitting. I am punctual, and usually flexible with the end time. Returning home early or extending the shift is fine with me. I am adaptable, no judgement! I have a car, license and insurance. I have a clean background and credit. I am a non-smoker/vaper/drug free. I am fully vaxxed (CVID and TDAP). Certified in cpr/first aid. Thank you for reading!
“She's amazing!✨️”
Hello! My name is Radiya and I am a college student studying Biomedical Science. I’m also an avid baker and food enthusiast! I grew up as the youngest sibling for almost thirteen years until my little brother was finally born. Since my older siblings were in college and very busy and both of my parents were employed, I shared responsibilities of taking care of my younger brother since high school. I also have an abundant amount of younger cousins that I would babysit so I’ve grown up around children my whole life and am very comfortable caring for kids of all ages. I have two cats at home so I am experienced with feeding cats, cleaning litters, etc. I don’t have much experience with dogs, but as long as they gets to know me and are relatively calm, I don’t mind being in the company of any dogs!
“Radiya was very sweet with our two kids. She made fast friends with them both and spent the day engaged in all manner of playful activities.”
I totally understand that finding reliable childcare can be challenging, and that's where I come in 😊 ✨ Hi, I'm Caelin! I'm coming back to UrbanSitter after a few years away. Corporate life (I was a Product Manager) kept me busy and traveling, so sitting took a backseat. I've recently been laid off, and while the job market does its thing, I'm so glad to be back doing work I genuinely love. The families I'm still with today? They originally found me right here on UrbanSitter. We've stayed connected through job changes, new babies, and cross-country moves. That kind of long-term trust isn't something I take lightly, and it's exactly what I hope to build with new families too. I've been doing this since I was 14. Through middle school, high school, all of college, and into my corporate career until work travel made consistent scheduling hard. Now in my 30s, I bring the same heart I always have, plus the patience and emotional maturity that only comes with decades of real experience. I've cared for kids newborn through preteen, traveled with families' children (including a Disneyland trip while parents relaxed at the hotel spa), and handled everything from morning school runs to late-night emergency coverage. My approach is rooted in Montessori and Waldorf philosophy. If you're a Bluey family, think of me as your real-life Calypso. The energy stays grounded so the creativity can go limitless. What I care about most: you actually unplugging. Not just physically leaving while mentally running your worry I prioritize open communication with parents to ensure that your child's needs and preferences are met while in my care. Safety is paramount, and I'm trained in CPR and first aid to provide peace of mind. I provide text and picture/video updates as frequently as you would like! My approach is all about fostering independence, building self-esteem, and promoting positive interactions! I'm here to engage in age-appropriate activities, encourage creativity, and ensure your child feels cherished every moment we spend together. I aim to ensure they feel loved and supported in my care. 🪻Learn more at carebycaelin.carrd.co
“We had Caelin over for an introduction / “interview” trial babysitting session to help ease our 2 year old daughter into our first non-family babysitter (& ourselves!). From the get-go, Caelin connected well with our typically cautious daughter by getting down to her level & engaging her with interest in her lovie & the new situation. She deemed her a good one! We only had Caelin over for two hours, which I was able to leave them alone wholeheartedly while making dinner (while overhearing giggles & constant conversation about their activities at hand, which shifted numerous times, but Caelin was a natural & pivoted with ease). I also was impressed by her knowledge of children’s behaviors & developmental stages (also sharing a mutual fascination of babies/children). We are so relieved that we found Caelin, who we plan on hopefully being our go-to family babysitter—I feel confident for the next “hangouts” with our daughter to be in great care & trust while we are out (which is saying a lot from this nervous first time mommy!). It’s a relief that we can finally get some toddler-free time thanks to her. Can’t recommend Caelin enough, but hope everyone doesn’t book her out before us from this review! ;)”

"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."
