Hi! I'm Ashley and I’m a middle school science teacher. I am currently very busy at the moment and not looking for childcare jobs (UrbanSitter just doesn’t let me chose that as an option). Thank you!

Hi my name is Nicole! I am currently looking for occasional and part time babysitting or nannying roles until 10/28/25 before I leave to travel. I have 10 years of experience babysitting and nannying for families and 8 years of experience teaching private swim lessons and coaching swim team. I have supported families by helping with drop off/pick up, after school and nighttime routines, meal prep, and cleaning. My main priority is always to create a fun and safe environment for the kids I work with. I know that by being their caregiver it’s important that I be a positive presence in their lives and support them wherever I can! Additionally, I have taken care of various animals in closing dogs and cats for families over the years. I attended Santa Clara University and graduated in 2021 with a BS in Public Health and Political Science with minors in Biology and Spanish. I speak and write fluently in English and Spanish. I am EMT, Lifeguard, CPR AED, and First Aid certified.

Nicole is awesome, she was right on time, reliable, and really nice with my daughter for the entire day, she was flexible and understanding of situations that may change, I would hire her back in a second!

I am 21 years old and I’ve been taking care of children ever since I was 15, helping them with homework, cleaning up after them, meal prep, school pick up/drop off, to/from activities, bedtime routine and so on. I also used to be an english teacher for kids between 4-11. I have experiences with babies older than 1, that includes feeding them, nap time, story time, changing diapers etc. I am currently taking care of 3 kids under 5 M-F and I’m looking for job opportunities on weekends.

Nicole was great. Friendly, kind and punctual, our 7 year old said he liked her a lot!

"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!"
