Hi, I’m Emily! I have worked in childcare for about 10+ years, I have been a sitter/nanny, a counselor, a swim coach/instructor and a day care worker. I have a day job where I work for ESPN but I love to work with kids because it makes me happy! I can work with a wide range of ages and a wide range of kids!
“Emily was great. My kids warmed up to her quickly. She was on time and asked great questions. She has great communication. I would definitely request her again. ”
Hi! My name is Emily and I am back on Urban Sitter after a hiatus due to a heavy travel schedule and working corporate. Im excited to connect with new families! I am best for occasional bookings like date night, random school nights etc. I require a four hour minimum (unless I have applied to a listing that displays otherwise). I have connected with several families through Urban Sitter over the years (see my reviews!) and am looking forward to being considered for your next booking.
Hello everyone reading this! About me: I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old and absolutely love children! Whether it was for the neighbors next door, at the church nursery or for some of my high school teachers, I grew up watching kids! Although I'm more familiar with children from infancy to 6 years of age, I don't shy away from kids who are older. I am a very upbeat and outgoing person so I'm always getting down on the floor and playing with children and helping them expand their imagination! If you have any questions or want to know anything else about my experience, please don't hesitate to ask! :)
“Kaci was wonderful! She arrived on time and was personable and professional. My kid had a hard time when we left but she stayed calm and sent a picture of him happily playing after we left. It’s intimidating hiring someone you’ve never met before to watch your beloved child. I’m happy to endorse Kaci for any caregiving responsibility and I look forward to working with her again! Thank yoj for everything, Kaci.”
Hi there! My name is Emma, and I am so grateful you took the time to look into my account! A little about me, I grew up in Ventura and am currently in my final year of graduate school at Pacifica Graduate Institute to become a marriage and family therapist. I am currently working as a school therapist twice a week, gaining practicum hours towards my license. For undergrad, I studied anthropology and geography at Cal Poly SLO. In my free time, you can find me spending time in nature, playing guitar, practicing yoga, trying out new recipes, and going for runs. As the oldest girl in a long line of cousins, I have been babysitting most of my life. I am an aunt to four beautiful children aged 10, 8, 3, and 1. I temporarily moved into my brother's house the summer after the second oldest child was born to lend an extra hand. This gave me full-time experience working with infants and toddlers beyond the babysitting I had previously done. I am currently working at a PK-8 school and am very comfortable working with school-aged students as well. I believe in fostering creativity, confidence, and empathy in children while providing a safe, warm, and welcoming environment. I look forward to meeting with you and seeing if I am a good fit for your family! I am happy to answer any questions you have so feel free to reach out!
Hi! My name is Katie and I have over 10 years of childcare experience. I majored in elementary education, I am currently working as a substitute teacher, and would love the occasional babysittiing job to fit my inconsistent schedule. I was a nanny for 4 years and have 5 years of teaching experience. I look forward to meeting 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
