Hi there! My name is Janna and I just graduated from CSUEB with my BA in Sociology. I have been babysitting in a casual familial setting since I was a tween and am looking to expand my services into a more professional environment. I offer child care to children from 6 months old to tween ages (including twins). I can also provide household services including cleaning, laundry, cooking, & running errands if needed. I have a driver's license and car if children need to be picked up or dropped off from extracurriculars or any appointments. I am happy to curate interactive and creative activities for kids to enjoy such as art, games, and active time. I love caregiving as it is so fulfilling to be a part of a child's journey into the world. I'm excited to hear back from you.

“Janna is amazing. As a first time mom especially, it’s important that I feel as comfortable as possible leaving my baby to be cared for. From day one, her energy was calming, and soooo welcoming. So much so my son gravitated to her right away! She’s thoughtful, punctual, communicative, and easy going. My schedule is hectic & sporadic & with that she’s been kind enough to accommodate with last minute care requests. At times I can barely fill her in on what the day looks like/ or the routine for the day, and still she shows up and does an incredible job every single time. Most of all I love how she interacts with my son and pays attention to detail. (Changes his clothes without me asking. Tidies up his area, interacts and engages with him etc) she’s even done light housework for me without me asking, and that truly means the world to a busy mom like myself, and gave me some time back to spend with my boy! Anyone would be incredibly lucky to book with her, and I can guarantee she will bring an extra layer of light/happiness to your home/children! ”

Hello, If you are looking for experience you’ve found it! Ive worked in a hospital O.R. The reason I share that is because I do not panic and have seen it ALL. Safety being my number one priority for your child. I am en educated Early Childhood caregiver with all of the CA required Units to teach preschool and fully Red Cross CPR/First aid certified. I was a private Nanny full time for a local family for several years, caring for their 2 children from infancy. Those children are school age now. The last 2 years Ive been providing back up care for business, serving families in the Bay area providing care in their homes. Im a big proponent of play and the important role it plays in a child's development. I especially enjoy outside time. I studied horticulture and am hugely passionate about plants. My life has always been caregiving either of people or plants. Trust is important to me. I am the one you can entrust with your most precious child! It’s a privilege to be trusted by you and to provide your family with excellence. I am a married Mom of 2 girls ages 22 and 19. I look forward to chatting with you about your childcare need.

Hi, Families! My name is Lauren, and I’m excited to be joining UrbanSitter as a caregiver! While I’m new to the platform, I’m certainly not new to caring for children. In fact, when my own children were little, I relied on UrbanSitter to find trusted caregivers for my family. I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to give back by supporting other families. I am a credentialed California teacher with the Cupertino Unified School District and have dedicated my career to helping children learn, grow, and thrive. Before becoming a classroom teacher, I owned and operated a licensed large family child care home for 10 years while raising my own two children. This has given me extensive experience caring for infants through school-age children in both home and educational settings. As both a teacher and caregiver, I create safe, nurturing, and engaging environments where children feel supported and parents have peace of mind. Whether it’s helping with homework, driving to activities, playing outside, creating crafts, reading together, or keeping bedtime routines on track, I bring patience, creativity, and genuine enthusiasm to every family I work with. I’m very active and love sports, outdoor adventures, and keeping kids engaged through play. I’m CPR certified and have health and safety training. I also have experience supporting children with diverse needs, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, and Down Syndrome. Every child is unique, and I take pride in meeting them where they are with kindness and encouragement. When I’m not teaching, I enjoy spending time with our own two children, exploring the outdoors, and spoiling our friendly little French Bulldog. I would be honored to earn your trust and provide exceptional care for your children. I can’t wait to meet your family!

“Lauren was great! My 4 year old was upset about having a babysitter and cried when the doorbell rang, but within 10 minutes he was leaning against Lauren - his first time meeting her - while she read him a book. Lauren was prompt, professional, and great with our son- we will have her back!”

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
