Hey there, my name is Jenny. Nice to meet you! I have been working with Urbansitter since 2013, and I have made meaningful connections with families over the years. Though I’m currently pursuing a doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, I still find joy in babysitting when my schedule allows. I’m known for being patient, goofy, and communicative. My professional background is rooted in hospitality and technology, but I’ve always had a passion for working with kids in diverse settings. I coach volleyball and volunteer as a camp counselor at The Painted Turtle Camp. I’ve also had the privilege of tutoring elementary school kids via Reading Partners and mentoring with Access Youth Academy. Each of these experiences has enriched my ability to connect with kids and support their growth in fun and creative ways.

“Jennifer was very nice and our 3 boys really liked spending the evening with her! She was professional and timely and even honored our request to speak Spanish with our children while she was babysitting them. Would definitely use again as a babysitter.”

I’m a parent of 1, my daughter is now an adult. I retired from the Army after 20yrs in 2016. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and have worked(played) in their nursery for over a year in my church. I have also taught in Sunday school 3-5yr olds and 12-15 yr olds. I love babysitting kids because I only had 1 and wanted more. I wouldn't have been able to continue in my career or make it to retirement if it wasn't for the babysitters & family I had for my daughter. I’ve lived in multiple states and 2 other countries as well as visited 19 countries for work. I love “working” with kids because they are nonjudgmental, carefree and a great reminder to slow down and enjoy simple things in life. I'm not looking to start a new career, I believe kids can make life fun and happier than being in a boring corporate office or answering to a boss.

“Jessica took great care of my daughter! She was punctual, very patient and friendly. My daughter loved spending time with her. I would highly recommend her. ”

Hello, my name is Allyssa, and I am a current grad student at San Jose State University pursuing my dream of becoming a Speech Language Pathologist. I pride myself on being responsible, reliable, and full of energy, especially when it comes to working with children. Being the oldest of four, I have gained extensive experience caring for children of all ages. Back home in Orange County, I had the opportunity to work with up to four different families, ranging from ages 1-15 years old. Now, I am actively seeking part-time and one-time job opportunities that align well with my academic commitments. In addition to creating a joyful and engaging environment for kids, I can also handle meal preparation and provide homework assistance. On a personal note, I had the privilege of playing collegiate soccer, highlighting my dedication and teamwork skills. I am fully vaccinated and more than happy to share excellent references upon request. Looking forward to the chance to connect soon!

“Allyssa is pure sunshine! She connected with my son immediately and they played and played for an hour and a half with a water break here and there (:”

"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!"
