Hi there! My name is Belén and I’m originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I’m a fashion designer graduate and I been living here for three year already. I love kids and I’m currently taking care of two girls of 5 and 8. I have experience with kids from 3 months old to 10 years old. I like playing with them, reading books, or do arts and craft. I even teached how to crochet to my kids. I consider myself as an artsy and crafty person and I enjoy sharing that with kids. I’m fluent in english but my native lenguage is spanish. Cheers, Belén (:

“Belen is the best. She cares for our two girls (5,3) and they adore her. She plays fun, creative games with the girls. We could not function without her. Belen is the greatest!!”

Hi there! My name is Claire and I am an incoming sophomore at UCR offering dependable childcare, senior care, pet care, and household services. I am new to this app, however I have plenty of experience working with children. I have a genuine passion for taking care of others, managing a home, and bringing a warm, positive energy into every family I work with! 🤗 I have years of experience working with both children and seniors. I love engaging with toddlers and I have experience with taking care of babies! I’ve taken care of family relatives and I worked at an Elementary School after school program in the past. I assisted kids with their homework, did arts and crafts with them, changed diapers, etc. As an older sister, holding down the house and looking after others comes completely naturally to me! In addition to childcare, I am incredibly comfortable working with seniors. Through my volunteer work at Laguna Honda Hospital, I have experience holding meaningful conversations, and assisting with daily household tasks. I am a massive animal lover! If you have furry family members, I am more than happy to feed and care for them as well. Whether you need a helping hand with your kids, your loved ones, your pets, or your home, I am here to help! P.S. I am new to UrbanSitter but I’ve worked with 10 families so far! I hope I can work with your family next!

“Claire was awesome and super sweet with our two year old! She had great vibes and endless energy, keeping him entertained all day. She was also totally unphased by him struggling with his afternoon nap - staying calm and patient to try and get him down and just rolling with it when he ultimately refused to go down. Will definitely have her back in the future!”

Booked by 9 families in Millbrae, CA

Hello, my name is Jamie, and I am currently pursuing my Bachelor’s degree in Child and Adolescent Development. During my academic school year, I am apart of different on campus organizations but love to work and support youth as well. For the past 3 summers, I have been caregiving for children ages 1–12. My ultimate priority is to create a fun, safe, and supportive environment for all aged children. Though I recently joined the UrbansSitter community, I have been a child caregiver for different families. In my most recent babysitting job, I babysat a toddler, that I have been caregiving for two summers. I have experience building that long-term relationship with both the child and family. I would also love to incorporate the material and skills I’ve learned in my education, into my caregiving experience. I joined UrbanSitter to gain more hands on experience and continue growing as a caregiver. Outside of work and school, I love playing sports, going hiking, and spending time with my younger brothers. I would describe myself as a patient, dependable, energetic, and caring, person. My ultimate goals is for families to feel comfortable, safe, and supported when trusting me with their children.

Hello families! My name is Kelly and I'm so excited to meet you. I recently graduated from the Burnett School of Medicine at TCU with a Master's of Medical Science, and I am available for light part-time or occasional jobs. I graduated with a BA in English in 2015, and worked for several years in teaching: high school music and dance programs, summer camp operations, and most recently in administration for a nonprofit preschool. In addition, I spent a year at a local Children's Hospital, planning age-appropriate activities for children of all ability levels. I enjoy primarily working with infants and young children. My favorite activities to do with kids include playing in the park, reading, arts & crafts, and music. I'm proficient in basic Spanish and love to practice with little ones! I am Infant & Child CPR/First Aid certified, and enjoy creating safe and fun spaces for children to play.

“Punctual, professional and fantastic with the kids. Would definitely hire again. ”
