$26 per hour for 1 child

I’m new to UrbanSitter, but I bring many years of experience working closely with people and families in roles requiring maturity, good judgment, warmth, and reliability. I’m especially comfortable with the practical rhythm of helping a household run smoothly—school pickups and driving, errands, meal preparation, light household organization, time with children, and caring for pets. I’m active, energetic, and genuinely enjoy being engaged rather than simply supervising from the sidelines. My professional background is in coaching, movement, mindfulness, and wellness, so I’m accustomed to working with people in a patient, attentive, and grounded way. I communicate clearly, notice what needs attention, and understand the importance of respecting each family’s routines and preferences. I’m currently most interested in part-time, temporary, occasional, or coverage needs, including date nights, weekend help, transportation, errands, and family-assistant support. And as a devoted dog person myself, I’m very comfortable in homes with pets.

“I’ve known Mary for several years in a mentor/mentee relationship and would recommend her without hesitation as someone a family can trust. She is exceptionally responsible, dependable, caring, and conscientious. I’ve seen firsthand how seriously she takes the wellbeing of people and animals in her care. Mary is calm under pressure, communicates clearly, follows through on commitments, and has the maturity and judgment I would personally want in someone responsible for my children. She is also active, engaging, and genuinely enjoys helping and caring for others. While I have known Mary personally rather than employing her as a nanny, I can speak confidently to her character, reliability, and integrity. I would feel completely comfortable entrusting her with significant responsibility.”

Kellie $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am a sitter with nearly 10 years of experience. Right now I am looking for occasional work to go alongside my 9-5. So think date nights, weekends in the day, or help after school! I do not have my own car but I have a clean driving record and am happy to drive your car if needed. I have worked with ages ranging from 6 months - 13 years. I previously worked as an English teacher in Spain with children ages 3-12, where I helped in social science, earth science, art, language and physical education classes. Additionally, I was an outdoor adventure camp counselor in San Jose where I taught outdoor sports, such as kayaking and mountain biking to children ages 4-8. And I have babysat children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. I am comfortable with all things baby to helping with middle school homework! I also enjoy doing fun games, crafts and activities with kids. I am passionate about teaching children about the outdoors and furthering their educations, and I am sure to make every child feel comfortable and safe in my care. I love all animals, and am willing to help clean up around the house a bit and do some cooking. I look forward to meeting you and your kiddos!

"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!"
