Even though it’s not reflected on my profile as not every family does not leaves a review after the job, making it hard to connect with other families as someone fairly new to Urbansitter, I do have tons of babysitting experience. If you want to hire me for the job, please do so at least 2 hours before the job if on the same day, and 12 hours prior if it’s a day before as I do not have a car and take public transportation or Uber to the job! Hi! My name is Aneyah. I offer childcare and pet care services. I worked at a daycare center for 3.5 years, I mainly worked with children aged 2-6 but I have worked with kids up to the age of 13. I was responsible for supervising, and maintaining a safe, clean environment, playing with the kids, helping them go to sleep, and food prep. Throughout my childhood, I watched my younger siblings and relatives while the adults went out. Your child’s safety and well-being are my number one priority. I am outgoing, energetic, communicative, punctual, and patient. I’m willing to do whatever activities your child wants to do as long as it’s safe and age-appropriate, we could do a baking project, read, play pretend, dance, etc. As for pets, I’ve been around dogs all my life and I currently have two dogs! I’ll make sure your pet is fed and satisfied by the time you get back.

Message me if you may have any questions or one-time jobs. Hello! My name is Vanessa. I am born and raised in the Bay Area. I currently have a dog of my own and grew up with two dogs. My first job was as an assistant teacher at preschools and elementary schools, while I was going to community college. Eventually, I graduated from the University of California, San Diego with a Bachelors's in Communications and a Theatre minor. I love performing and am seeking a job that can give me some of the flexibility for that (mostly for the evenings). I also have a drivers license and have my COVID vaccines. Hope to talk soon!

“Vanessa arrived on time and had great communication during her afternoon with my son. He said he had so much fun playing and we would love to book Vanessa again! Thanks Vanessa!”

Hello families! My name is Kelly and I'm so excited to meet you. I recently graduated from the Burnett School of Medicine at TCU with a Master's of Medical Science, and I am available for light part-time or occasional jobs. I graduated with a BA in English in 2015, and worked for several years in teaching: high school music and dance programs, summer camp operations, and most recently in administration for a nonprofit preschool. In addition, I spent a year at a local Children's Hospital, planning age-appropriate activities for children of all ability levels. I enjoy primarily working with infants and young children. My favorite activities to do with kids include playing in the park, reading, arts & crafts, and music. I'm proficient in basic Spanish and love to practice with little ones!

Hello, my name is Ketlyn. I am 23 years old, originally from Brazil, and I speak three languages fluently: English, Spanish, and Portuguese. I have over 8 years of experience working as a nanny. I started very young, caring for newborn twins, and since then I have developed a true passion for childcare. Over the years, I have worked with children of different ages, always providing a safe, loving, and structured environment. My experience includes caring for infants and young children, preparing bottles and meals, introducing solid foods, diaper changes, bathing when necessary, nap routines, engaging in age-appropriate activities, and maintaining a clean and organized environment related to the child. I am attentive, responsible, patient, and always focused on the child’s safety, development, and well-being. I would be happy to share references and provide more information if needed. Thank you for your time and consideration. Ketlyn

"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!"
