Hi! My name is Claire and I recently graduated from the University of San Francisco with a Bachelors in communication studies. I have been babysitting since freshman year of high school and also have four years of experience coaching kids soccer both boys and girls ages 5-10. I have loved being able to share my love for soccer while coaching and really enjoy babysitting. I have grown up with dogs and have a lot of experience taking care of them as well. I studied abroad in Italy in 2023 where I interned at a local cooking school and cooking is one of my favorite things to do!
Hi! My name is Beatriz and I’m currently living in the Bay Area. I am offering child care, senior care, and pet care services. I love working with children and have experience caring for toddlers and school-aged kids. My responsibilities have included preparing meals, organizing fun and educational activities, helping with homework, bath time, bedtime routines, and driving to school or activities. I am also comfortable providing senior care, including companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping. In addition, I enjoy caring for pets and can help with feeding, walking, and daily care. I am responsible, patient, organized, and trustworthy. I truly enjoy creating a safe, warm, and supportive environment for families.
Hi! I’m Claudia, a caring and dependable childcare professional with 10+ years of experience working with children and families. I have a BA in Psychology and a background in education, teaching, literacy intervention, behavioral support, and long term nannying. I’ve worked with children from newborns through their teenage years and have experience with homework, reading, school routines, activities, transportation, and everyday care. I’ve also worked as a family assistant, helping with the day to day needs of busy families. I’m organized, patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy working with children. I love creating a balance of structure and fun through reading, games, outdoor activities, crafts, and learning. I especially enjoy getting to know each child’s personality and finding activities they are excited about. I also speak English and Spanish fluently and have knowledge of Portuguese. I’m currently looking for occasional and weekend childcare opportunities and would love to be a dependable extra set of hands for your family!

Hi I’m Meagan, I am a person who is passionate about caring for and teaching young children from infants through age 5. I have 23 years of child care experience. I am CPR and first aid certified, I am a creative and active person who enjoys helping children explore the world through art, music, outdoor activities, and sensory play. I have 72 units of early childhood education including infant and toddler development courses. I’m fluent in English. I also speak Spanish, some Portuguese and a little bit of French. I enjoy watching children explore the world around them and conquer the challenges life puts on their paths. My care taking style is play based because I believe children experience the world best when they are actively engaged in playing, exploring and using their imaginations to create new experiences for themselves. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask me. I look forward to speaking with you soon! Respectfully, Meagan
“I wholeheartedly recommend Meagan! She worked with our son before he recently transitioned to preschool. We loved Megan for so many reasons. Below are a few of many: -Very reliable -Over 20 years of experience -Extremely passionate and knowledgeable about early childhood development -CPR and first aid certified -Drives and has all the gear needed to take your kiddo on fun adventures! -Planned fun activities with our little guy. Brought over art projects, took him to ride bart (his fav) to various library story times, playgrounds, fairyland etc. -Extremely calm, warm, friendly and our kiddo loves her very much. -A wealth of knowledge regarding kids developmental stages! Played a large role in our kids growth, enrichment and emotional development. Cant recommend Megan enough. Her passion is working with kids and a new family would be very luck to have her!”
Hi, Im Isabella a Sophomore at UCSB studying Environmental Studies. I’m offering child care and if needed light household care with it. I just started with UrbanSitter! I have worked with kids for around 3 years now. I’ve worked at the boys and girls club, science nights for elementary schools, teaching elementary students with Sprout Up, and have done babysitting before I would be a great tutor for pre-k to 3rd grade if wanted mostly in reading. I can do errands around the house as well depending on the task. I also have worked at an animal shelter only for a little bit have been dog sitting dogs since elementary school for family and friends!
