Hi families! Looking for a warm and present nanny? I have a passion for working with children and helping them learn and grow. My 5+ years of experience—including working in daycares, summer camps, babysitting, and nannying for an amazing family over the past 2 years—have prepared me to provide safe, reliable, and engaging childcare. As a patient, calm, and creative caregiver, I prioritize open communication with parents to ensure their peace of mind, and I follow their lead when it comes to enforcing household rules. My priority is your children and creating an environment where they can grow and families feel supported. I look forward to getting to know you!

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! ;)”

Looking forward to meeting your family and making life a little easier for you! **late cancellations (within 12 hrs) I still charge half the booking amount**

“Sydney was amazing! Put us at ease immediately as it was our first time leaving the little one with a sitter. She was kind, caring and kept in constant contact with updates throughout the night. ”
