*at this time I am not accepting new families but will update if that changes!* Hi there, my name is Eva and I am 27 years old. I first graduated from college in 2021, where I obtained my degree in political science, and have completed my second degree in psychology. I have always enjoyed and excelled at working with children. For two years, I have worked with children aged infant to Kindergarten in a daycare setting and am a fully qualified childcare teacher in the state of California. Most of my time is spent with the toddler (12 to 23 months) age group, but I have experience in classrooms with children up to age 6. Additionally, I have about 4 years of volunteer experience with preschool and lower elementary aged children in both a formal and summer camp setting. I have worked with families both on and off Urban Sitter for 3 years, with children ranging in age from 1 to 10 years old. The opportunity to impart knowledge and bring joy to children, or even be a playmate, is a rewarding experience - I believe children can be our teachers too. I understand how crucial it is that you feel comfortable with the person taking care of your children - and I would be happy to speak further, answer any questions, or tell you more about myself.

“I can’t say enough good things about Eva. She’s been my two-year-old’s teacher since he was just one, so we’ve known her for about 18 months now. Over that time, she’s been super reliable, caring, and just really great with kids. She has also baby sat my son individually at our house, and helped with his laundry, dishes and food. He loves his one on one time with her. She has an awesome way of connecting with little ones by talking to them at their level and really getting where they’re at. She also brings in fun, helpful developmental activities that have been great for our child’s growth. Eva has truly become part of our support network. We trust her with our eyes closed and always feel completely comfortable leaving our child in her care. Any family would be so lucky to have her.”

Katie $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Livermore, CA

Hi! I’m Katie, a 23 year old artist with a BFA in Fashion Design from Parsons in NYC. I recently moved back home to the Tri-Valley and am looking for babysitting roles during this transitional period of my life. I’ve been around children in my community my whole life, taken child development/psychology courses in school (high school and college-level), have worked at a gym daycare for 1 year, and babysat in NYC— so you’re in good hands! A little bit about my childcare philosophy: I am passionate about holistic wellbeing and learning through creativity/activity. I see childcare as a two-way relationship that prioritizes the child’s unique development. I also learn so much by being around children! I’m extremely reliable, honest, and communicative, and will ensure that the parent’s wishes are met, and, of course, the safety of your child. I’m great at engaging children in active play and crafts, if that’s something you would like. I am comfortable cooking/preparing snacks for your child as needed and going through bedtime routines. I have experience working with all ages, from as young as 7 months. I look forward to meeting with you and your little one(s), thank you! 🥰 ~ Katie 🎨🌱🫧❣️🎀
