“For the last 18 months, Evelyn has been an incredibly important part of our family, and it is hard to imagine our daughter's early years without her.As our daughter prepares to start school shortly after her second birthday, we find ourselves reflecting on just how much Evelyn has contributed to her growth, happiness, and development. Simply put, we could not have asked for a better nanny.From day one, our daughter (Baby A) absolutely adored Evelyn. She warmed to her immediately, and watching their bond develop has been one of the greatest joys of the past year and a half. Evelyn brings a special combination of warmth, confidence, creativity, wisdom, and pure joy that children naturally gravitate toward. What makes Evelyn so exceptional is that she truly understands children.One of the most impactful things she did was teach Baby A sign language before she could talk. The difference was remarkable. Our daughter was able to communicate her needs, feelings, and thoughts long before she had words, which dramatically reduced frustration and gave her an incredible sense of confidence. We now tell every parent we know that babies should learn sign language, and we have Evelyn to thank for showing us firsthand how transformative it can be.She also guided us through countless milestones and transitions. When Evelyn started, our daughter strongly disliked tummy time. Evelyn somehow knew exactly how to make it fun and engaging. Later, she helped us navigate getting off the bottle, potty training, and all the other developmental transitions that come with raising a toddler. She always approached challenges with patience, creativity, and a deep understanding of child development. Evelyn is wonderfully whimsical in a way that feels straight out of a storybook. She would create sock puppets out of nowhere, invent water-play activities, dream up art projects, and find creative ways to turn ordinary days into adventures. Her artistic talent is extraordinary, and she brought so much imagination and wonder into our daughter's life. As parents, one of the things we appreciated most was how communicative and trustworthy she was. Evelyn truly partnered with us. She listened carefully to our hopes and preferences for our daughter and always respected them. We never had to worry about what our daughter was eating, what activities she was participating in, or whether our wishes were being followed. We trusted her completely. The McKinney Family,”

Hello! Looking for a caregiver who naturally connects with your little ones and furry family members, and who brings years of trusted, loving experience? That’s me! My name is Deborah, and caregiving has long been something I’m deeply drawn to and truly passionate about. I’m currently working as a full-time nanny for a wonderful family through UrbanSitter, and I’m so grateful that this has become my professional career. Friends, families, and clients have consistently trusted me with their most precious children and beloved pets, knowing they’re in caring, responsible, and attentive hands. I focus on creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel happy, supported, and secure. Whether it’s imaginative play, helping with routines, or simply sharing calm, comforting moments, I’m dedicated to being a positive and reliable presence in your child’s day. Although I’m committed full-time during weekdays, I’m available for evening care and Saturdays, and I’d love to support your family whenever you need extra help. Please feel free to reach out for date nights, weekend coverage, or special occasions. I understand the deep trust families place in their caregivers, and building a strong, respectful partnership with your family is very important to me. I’m a dedicated listener, quick learner, and someone who always strives to provide dependable, high-quality care. If you’re looking for someone who feels like a natural extension of your family, I’d love to connect! Please send me a message, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. If I don’t respond immediately, I’m likely caring for a precious little one. 😊
Hi! I’m Bailey 😊 I’m a UCSB alum (BS in Psychological and Brain Sciences), EMT certified, and currently in registered nursing school. I have 8+ years of experience caring for children of all ages. I worked at the UCSB Child Care Center throughout my undergraduate years, including in the infant and toddler rooms where I regularly cared for multiple children at once. I also previously worked in Labor & Delivery as an OB/Surgical Tech, where I assisted in deliveries and C-sections and gained strong exposure to newborn care and hospital safety. I’ve worked as a paraeducator supporting children with special needs and currently work as a substitute teacher (TK–12 + SPED), so I’m very comfortable with a wide range of ages and needs. I’m warm, reliable, and truly love caring for kids—it’s a big reason I’m pursuing nursing. I enjoy creating a safe, engaging, and fun environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I have my own car, am CPR/First Aid certified, vaccinated, and happy to provide references. I’m also very comfortable with pets! I’d love to connect and see if I’d be a great fit for your family!
