Booked by 1 family in Carmel Valley, CA

Hi! My name is Nicole and I am a current Speech-Language Pathology Masters student at CSUMB. I graduated with my BS in Child Development from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo in June of 2025 and have 10 years of nannying/babysitting experience. I am passionate about individualized care and have a thorough knowledge of social, emotional, and physical needs across development. I am looking for part time and occasional care positions and would love to connect if I seem like a good fit for your family!

“Nicole is new to urban sitter because she just moved to Monterey from grad school. She is wonderful! We were visiting for a weekend and she watched our three young girls for the evening. Nicole was prompt, equally comfortable with an infant and school age kids … we regret that we live far away and won’t catch Nicole regularly!”

Hello Parents:) Certified Clinical Medical Assistant. I have tons of experience! 27+ years. I’ve worked in pediatric clinic, licensed daycare, teacher’s assistant, kids dance instructor. I’m a student in the health field, radiology is my goal. I am the 2nd to oldest out of 5 siblings. I started to babysit at a very young age. I flourished when I started to work with kids and it’s showed me to be patient, mature, energetic, engaging and to be tolerant. I’ve been described as very responsible, patient, quick on my feet!, dependable, welcoming & kind. I honestly enjoy and value working with children. Im also a proud community outreach lead in my outreach page on FB which brings community info to kids and their parents. I also help teach dance to help kiddos keep busy and out of the streets. I help guide them in other afterschool programs, activities like art, reading, instruments, paint, language. I give them info to further their education and I even chat with parents if they need any guidance. No child is “too challenging”. Most are just misunderstood and just need a chance to be themselves. I worked for my local Health Department Clinics and Hospital for 22+ yrs. 27+yrs in child care, 10+yrs in a class room setting. Early Childhood Development credits! Fully vaccinated, CPR & First Aid trained👍🏻. I feel very comfortable responding to any medical emergency, medication administration, any disability, any level of health conditions, including behavioral. I have been a Travel Nanny and loved every minute of it. The one-on-one attention gave me a different perspective on how to support parents. I am a firm believer in Montessori Method. I like to be hands on, nature is my buddy, active, arts & crafts, music!, books, baking, help with homework/projects, biking/walking, any educational play is fun. Anything that helps inspire curiosity to discover & learn. I don’t shy away from bathing, forts, feedings, cleaning, mud puddles:), bed time stories, movies and of course a great Snuggle when needed. Parenting styles may diff. so I respect every parents wishes & rules. Parents are trusting me with their most valuable treasure so I strive to be my best. I’ve always enjoyed working with children because they are kind, fun and so intelligent. It takes a special person with special gifts to work with children. I’m one in a few to be blessed & thankful for my gifts. I appreciate your time & consideration. If you have any questions, feel free to message me:)

“Karla was absolutely amazing with our 15 month old. She was kind, doting, adventurous and we and our son both loved her. Would definitely hire her again!!”

Hello my name is Laura. I have been babysitting ever since I was in middle school and through out college (19). I am an only child, so never had siblings to play on my own. I have always treated the children in my care as if they were my own family. My education background is a B.S in child development and a minor in psychology from Cal Poly SLO and a AA degree from MPC in Child Development. Personally I love taking care of children because it is so much making crafts with them and seeing how they see the world in their eyes.

Kari 1 review
$24 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Kari! I am a graduate student at CSUMB and a Navy veteran. I have always enjoyed fostering loving and fun environments for children starting when I was a Girl Scout camp counselor in my teens, to babysitting and nannying after my time in the Navy, until now after having my own son! Some of my favorite activities to do with children are arts / crafts, beach days, aquarium visits, gardening, library story times, etc! I am CPR and basic life support (for adults and infants) certified and recently took the recertification course. I have advanced knowledge of combat casualty care as well. I have base and commissary access if needed for your situation. I am very good with all kinds of animals of all kinds of temperament.

“Kari is an AMAZING sitter/nanny. I was having some consistency issues with my current daycare because the lady running our daycare was dealing with some doctors appointments, and THANK GOD I had Kari to help with those days I didn’t have care for my son. I wish I could have switched to Kari all together, but unfortunately it just wouldn’t work for my schedule and it’s the only reason she isn’t our full time care. She was fully engaged with my son, she followed our schedule to the second, she fed him great food, all whole foods all very healthy, she even washed his clothes when he got them wet. She even took the kids to the beach! My son had soooo much fun with her. She’s an amazing mom and and amazing caregiver. She is the kost impressive sitter I have ever used and my son loves her so much.”
