Hello, I look forward to meeting your family and pets. I have experience with giving care for 1-9 year olds. I have personal experience with raising, training, and caring for dogs. I am a masters of nursing student so my time may be limited due to school, but I would love to spend any free time I have babysitting for any family members.
“Tina helped keep an eye on our little one during a family party at the park. It was a unique situation but Tina was game for the challenge. Very communicative, sweet, and flexible!”
Hi! I’m Malissa — a reliable, flexible babysitter with 10+ years of experience. I’m 32, have my own car, and work with several wonderful families on both a weekly and occasional basis. I offer date night, overnight, and travel care, as well as pet and house-sitting. I work fully remote Monday–Friday (8–5), which allows me to help with school pickups, bring kids home, and keep them safe and engaged while I finish my workday. I’m happy to work from your home with Wi-Fi and a place to sit—this setup works great for the families I currently support. I’ve cared for children ages 0–17 and can help with homework, meals, light tidying, bedtime routines, and pet care—while making sure your kids are safe, happy, and well cared for. I accept Apple Pay, Zelle, check, and cash, and ask that payment be made by the time I leave. Overnight and travel care are available with custom rates, and I request toll reimbursement when applicable. I love building long-term relationships with families and look forward to meeting you! Warmly, Malissa
I’ve been on UrbanSitter for the past 6 years, and working with kids is something I truly love. Whether it’s playing games, helping with homework, or just being a positive and caring presence, I enjoy building meaningful connections with the families I work with.
I am an experienced childcare provider with five years of experience as a preschool teacher, and five years of experience as a nanny in families homes. I love to plan fun art activities, spend time outside exploring the natural world and teaching kids the names of different plants, and reading stories. I am currently enrolled in an herbal medicine program and am looking for part time work. I have an Early Childhood Education Associate Teacher certificate from Merritt College as well as a bachelors degree in Gender Studies from Mills College.
“Forrest is totally trustworthy. Would recommend her to everyone!”
Hi, my name is Jiahui, but I go by Kelly. I’m a recent college graduate and am open to any babysitting opportunities. I have experience caring for children ranging from newborns to teenagers. I grew up with two younger siblings and also worked as a seasonal babysitter at a private childcare. Duties involved meal prepping, feeding, changing diapers, potty training, managing routines, and leading fun indoor and outdoor activities. I have also worked as a K-5 tutor, supporting groups of up to 10 students in reading, writing, and math, as well as organizing science and art activities. I’m happy to assist with any homework help as well. Currently, I volunteer at the farmers market where I lead and facilitate group field trips that encourage children to build a positive relationship with food and explore their curiosities surrounding food. Feel free to reach out if this seems like a good fit! I’d be happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have!
