Sarah $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sarah, I’m 24 years old and currently serving in the U.S. Army. I have extensive experience caring for children of all ages — especially babies and toddlers — and a true passion for helping families. I’m also currently working on my A.S. in Criminal Justice, which has made me even more focused on safety, responsibility, and integrity. 👶 Experience: • 2 years as an Au Pair (2[removed]) with the same family, caring for 3 children (2 months, 1.5 years, and 2.5 years old). • Worked with multiple families, caring for children from newborn to 6 years old. • Assisted with household tasks: laundry, cooking, light cleaning, and driving children to activities. • Excellent references available upon request. 🎨 About Me: • Calm, responsible, punctual, and proactive. • Energetic — love arts & crafts, painting, drawing, and outdoor activities. • Fluent in two languages and currently learning a third. • Very organized and always create a safe, clean, and positive environment. • Always eager to help and learn new things. • Have my own reliable car and safe driving record. • Love kids and truly enjoy building meaningful connections with them. 🐾 A Little More About Me: • Animal lover — I have two dogs of my own (a Siberian Husky and a German Shepherd). • Grew up on a farm and love all animals. • Experience caring for elderly family members, having grown up helping and looking after my grandparents. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, loving, hardworking nanny who will care for your children as if they were my own (and maybe even love your pets too!), send me a message. I’d love to connect and see if we’re the right fit! 💛

Franchesca $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi every one my name is Franchesca, I am a sophomore in college. I grew up by the beach my whole life so I love anything revolving nature and outdoors. I am a very understanding individual when it comes to children, I love teaching my nieces new things such as cooking treats or painting. During the summer I often watch kids with my grandma as she has her own care taking company with age ranges from 2-8. I’m open to care taking for pets as well. If that’s taking them for walks feeding them growing I’m up for the challenge. As well as helping around the house as needed rather that be dishes or picking up laundry for the family I’m always open to discussing any and all help needed. I was in cheer all throughout highschool so I can understand life gets busy and if you need your child to be taken to school or sports related events I am available for taking them to that as well.

Liliya $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, thanks for checking out my profile! I have 8+ years of nanny experience caring for little ones from newborns to early elementary age. Over the years, I've worked with multiple families long-term and some short term and have also been a traveling nanny so I've picked up plenty of tips and tricks to make life easier for both parents and kids. These days, I focus on occasional care think daytime fill-ins when your sitter calls in sick or daycare is closed, date nights, overnights, and even travel care. Really when you need an extra set of hands. Families appreciate not only the care I give to their children but also the peace of mind that comes from knowing their home and routines are in good hands too. I have a flexible schedule but like to plan ahead whenever possible. If you're looking for a reliable, experienced nanny you can count on for those in-between moments, I'd love to chat! Also I’m new to Urban Sitter but have reviews on care.com.

Gabriela $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Gabriela, I’m currently in school and in my third year at Sacramento State! I'm studying Communication Sciences and Disorders to hopefully become a Pediatric Speech Therapist/Audiologist. I have always loved working with kids! My mom has been a babysitter for 15+ years and I've gained everything I know from her as she is the best babysitter ever! I've worked in a couple places with kids such as helping with date nights, working consistently with families, and at the daycare at the Sac State Campus. There I would work with all different age groups such as 8-month-olds all the way to 4-year-olds. I would mostly spend my time in the classroom with the 8mo-2-year-olds and I loved it so much! I got to create engaging activities for the kids to expand their mental capabilities and I also free d them and changed their diapers. I am a very quick learner and am very open minded. My schedule is very flexible on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays at the moment due to school but I'd be willing to help any family in need of a babysitter!
