Hi! I’m Gabrielle. I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable person who genuinely loves spending time with children. I’ve been involved in my church’s children’s ministry since I was a teenager, caring for children of all ages—from just a few months old through high school. Over the years, that experience has taught me how to connect with different personalities and age groups, keep children engaged, manage routines, and create an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient, attentive, organized, and happy to help with age-appropriate activities, simple meals or snacks, and light household tasks. I’m also very comfortable around pets. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident in the person caring for their children, so I take safety, communication, reliability, and trust very seriously. I truly love kids and would be happy to become someone your family can depend on.
Hello! My name is Yesenia. I’m a proud mom of three wonderful children and a dedicated preschool teacher with over 4 years of experience working in an early childhood education setting. I hold 12 units in Child Development and have a genuine passion for nurturing young minds through play, music, and creativity. I love engaging little ones with nursery rhymes (especially songs by Ms. Rachel!), reading picture books, and doing arts and crafts that spark imagination. Being a child at heart helps me connect naturally with kids in a fun, caring, and safe way. I’m currently available on weekends for date nights and would be happy to provide your family with loving and dependable care.
Hi! I'm Jenna and currently enrolled as a student at UC Berkeley I've been working with children for the past few years through a variety of roles, including as a swim coach, a STEM education teacher intern, and baby sitter. These experiences have allowed me to work with children of different ages and personalities from the super shy and introverted children to the really bubbly and energetic little ones! In my free time, I always make sure to take care of myself, whether that's going on walks with my German Shepherd, going to the gym, Pilates, and yoga. I also love to paint, draw, and do all kinds of arts and crafts. I go on TONS of hikes with either myself, my friends, or my family whenever I can. I also enjoy cooking and baking. Something families should know about me is that I absolutely love nature and enjoy encouraging children to spend time exploring the world around them. I am also open to anything so just always feel free to let me know whenever!
I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old, primarily caring for my two nieces, who are now 10 and 6 years old. Through this experience, I’ve gained hands-on knowledge in supervising children of different ages, managing routines, and handling various needs from playtime to bedtime. In addition to family babysitting, I worked two summers at a daycare center where I was responsible for diaper changes, assisting with potty training, preparing and feeding meals, and ensuring a safe and engaging environment. During this time, I also learned and followed key safety regulations and best practices in childcare, including hygiene standards, and age-appropriate activities.
“Natalie is wonderful! We interviewed via FaceTime and she really connected with my kiddos. She arrived on time, eager to learn, and constantly helped out the entire time. Even when they were crying she really kept trying to soothe them, calm them down. She played with them and gave them her full attention. ”
Hi there! My name is Adriana, and I have two years of hands-on experience working with children aged 3 to 15. I bring a wealth of practical knowledge and a deep passion for nurturing young minds. My commitment to providing a safe and enriching environment extends beyond childcare—I also care for pets and am proficient in light housework, ensuring that families return to a tidy and organized home. Currently pursuing a degree in Sociology, I’m fascinated by the dynamics of human interaction, which enhances my understanding of child development and behavior. With CPR/First Aid certification and a spotless driving record, safety is always my top priority.
“This was my first time booking through Urban Sitter, let alone having someone that was not family watch my child. Adriana arrived on time and got acclimated quickly with my daughter. They played games and by the time I returned home it was lights out. Overall a great experience and I foresee myself rebooking with Adriana again. ”

"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!"
