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!
“Ashley was awesome, kids loved her! ”
I am a responsible and passionate childcare provider with over 8 years of experience, committed to creating a nurturing environment where children feel safe, valued, and engaged. Currently pursuing a psychology degree focusing on early childhood education, I prioritize both emotional and academic support for children's growth. Compassionate, empathetic, and a great listener, I build meaningful connections with children and families, ensuring trust and dependability. My multitasking skills and adaptability allow me to handle various tasks, from homework assistance to meal preparation. As a preschool teacher for the past two years, I've gained hands-on experience guiding children through educational activities and daily routines. I've also worked with California State for Choices for Children, adhering to state regulations, and my Trustline background check guarantees safety. If you're looking for a caring, responsible, and experienced childcare provider, I'd love the opportunity!
“Jaylysa was available on short notice and was engaging with the kids. She took my 2 kids to the park, fed them and put them to sleep. She communicated well, too. I would hire her again! ”
Hi my name is Kimberly Over the years I have gained experience in child care by babysitting for friends and family and worked as a nanny for about 5 years. I am very active and love spending my time outdoors. Working with kids has always been something that I enjoy doing.
Hi, I’m Soni! Nice to meet you! I want to help your family. I love to play, especially role-playing games and imaginative stories. Of course, spending time outside is the best way to get some vitamin D and burn off energy! I love spending time with kids because they teach me a lot, and, of course, I teach them about fun new adventures and games. I babysat for a family in SF for about two years, and I also had some part-time jobs on the Peninsula for about three years. Lately, I’ve taken only occasional jobs! I've worked as a babysitter throughout my time in the USA (about eight years) and occasionally in Colombia (about seven years). Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions; I’d love to answer them all!
“Sonia was great with our twin boys, keeping up with their energy and playing non stop! We will invite Sonia back again!”
Hello, My name is Courtney and I am currently looking for occasional jobs only! I am a nursing assistant who is home for the summer. I work with ages 0-10. I love taking care of the kids and providing a nurturing and safe environment. I offer child care and pet services! I have grown up with my twin sister and oldest sister and have three dogs. In high school, I was captain of my soccer team and was awarded Most Inspiring and Senior of the Year. I love taking care of kids. I have been babysitting since I was 16 and have been using Urban Sitter for 5 years! I work with all ages. Some activities I love to do with kids include playing sports, doing arts and crafts, going on walks, and playing imaginary games. I will always encourage kids to use their imagination and creativity. I try to implement stimulating activities for kids such as memory games, asking them mental math problems, asking them to point to certain colors/numbers etc. I am a very active and adaptable person. Your kids safety and comfortability is my #1 priority. I am CPR and AED certified! As for pets, I have three dogs myself and would love to pet sit! I I am very experienced with taking care of pets. I can sit dogs and cats as well as other animals. At this time, I am only looking for occasional jobs due to my busy schedule with school. Please reach out if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you!

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
Theresa M., parent
