Maria $40 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Maria,and I’m excited to be a new member of UrbanSitter! I work at an orthodontic office during the week, where I have the joy of connecting with children of all ages and helping them feel comfortable and cared for. As a mom to my wonderful six-year-old daughter, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your child. I bring that same level of care, patience, and attentiveness to every family I work with. We also have a sweet Norwich Terrier named Giuseppe, so I’m very comfortable around pets too! I look forward to getting to know your family!

Nancy $45 per hour for 1 child

Hello! Here’s a bit about me: I studied Fine Art and Photography in college, earning a BA in Fine Arts. Currently, I am channeling my creativity into launching an online art store. Prior to this, I spent several years working in the medical field in various roles, including serving as an EMT in the Bay Area, where my compassion for others made a perfect fit and helped refine the ability to stay calm under pressure. I am certified in CPR and First Aid and am also a certified doula. My caregiving experience includes many volunteer hours as a preschool aide when my son, now 25 years old, was younger. I have always enjoyed being around both children and seniors. I helped care for my elderly father in his later years, and I have always had pets; currently, I share my home with two wonderful dogs. Caregiving is a natural part of who I am, and I find joy in providing support, warmth, and a reliable presence to the families I work with.

"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!"

"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."
