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!

Hello families, I am Merve, and I am 28 years old. I have experience with kids for more than 5 years. I am looking for part time/occasional jobs. I am fully vaccinated and have my own car. Thank you!

Absolutely an exceptional babysitter. She jumped right into our challenging and unstructured job (watching our kids during a dinner party), and really won the kids over. They loved her! I appreciated her flexibility, professionalism, and warmth toward the children.

Hello! I hope you're doing well. I'm a mother of three (ages 15, 16, and 18), with lots of experience caring for multiple children. I'm patient, kind, organized, and proactive. I'm fluent in Spanish and English, CPR and First Aid certified, and I have a valid driver's license, a clean record, and my own car. I love keeping babies and kids engaged with activities like reading, arts and crafts, and trips to the park or library. I also like to help out around the house during downtime with tidying, laundry, and other chores. I'm available Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 9:00 a. m, as I work with another family in Portola Valley afterward. During that time, I can help with bathing, laundry, bottles, organizing, and drop-offs/pick-ups if needed. References are available upon request! Feel free to reach out if you'd like to chat by phone or video call. Thank you so much for your time!

My daughter loved playing with Isabel. She had a wonderful time. Would definitely hire again!

I am currently working as a lead preschool teacher. I have been working for the school for over 5 years. I have a bachelors degree in Human Development with a concentration in Childhood development. I am still actively taking classes to obtain my site supervisor early childhood education permit. I enjoy working with young children and helping them grow into confident, caring individuals. I love to spend quality time with them and help them reach their goals. I have passion, love, and patience for the work that I do. I am responsible and caring and value each child for who they are.

She was awesome with our 2 yr old. We highly recommend her and would definitely have her again.

Hi! I’m Xeriz, a 23-year-old with a passion for caring for children. I’ve worked as a nanny in different cities over the years, and now, as an ABA behavior technician, I love supporting kids, especially those with special needs. I’m friendly, patient, and adaptable, always making sure to create a fun, safe, and loving environment for children. I also enjoy meal prepping and can easily tailor meals to your family’s needs, whether it’s keto, vegan, low-carb, or protein-focused. I’ve lived with families as their nanny before, so I’m used to adjusting to different routines and can do the same for you. Music is another big part of my life and something I’m truly passionate about :) I sing and play multiple instruments, and I’m always happy to share that with the kids through fun musical activities or even teaching them to play if they’re interested. Now that I’m back in NorCal, I’m excited to focus on what I love most which is helping children grow and making a positive impact on your family’s life!

"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!"
