Booked by 3 families in San Pablo, CA

I graduated with a degree in design, which has fueled my creativity and nurtured my ability to engage children in imaginative and enriching activities. With over five years of babysitting experience and a close-knit family dynamic, including caring for my three energetic nephews, I've honed my skills in fostering a safe, fun, and loving environment for kids. On a personal note, I'm an avid reader and nature enthusiast, and I love sharing my passions with curious young minds.

“Liliana has taken care of our son multiple afternoons over the past couple of weeks and has been great to work with in all respects - flexible, patient, creative, and reliable. We would absolutely recommend her to other families and look forward to having her back!”

Booked by 3 families in San Pablo, CA

Hi, My name is Tierra, I’m looking for part time and weekend work. I’m available early mornings and evenings. I have experience with children from newborn to elementary school age. I’m responsible and reliable. In 2022 I was a nanny for siblings a two year old boy and a 9 month old girl for a couple of months before she was old enough to start school. I was also a babysitter for a pair of sisters 3 years old and 2 years old. I work as a third grade after school teacher. I also used to volunteer at a preschool. I’m ok with doing light housekeeping if needed (dishes, laundry, sweeping, vacuuming, and wiping down counters/toys)

“Tierra has cared for my son several times this past summer, from 16 months to 19 months old. She is kind, patient, and playful with him. It's an added benefit that she works as a teacher. I will definitely hire Tierra again.”

Booked by 3 families in San Pablo, CA

Hi there! My name is Adriana, and I have 4 years of hands-on experience working with children aged 3 to 15. I bring a wealth of practical knowledge and a deep passion for nurturing young minds. My commitment to providing a safe and enriching environment extends beyond childcare—I also care for pets and am proficient in light housework, ensuring that families return to a tidy and organized home. Currently pursuing a degree in Sociology, I’m fascinated by the dynamics of human interaction, which enhances my understanding of child development and behavior. With CPR/First Aid certification and a spotless driving record, safety is always my top priority.

“This was my first time booking through Urban Sitter, let alone having someone that was not family watch my child. Adriana arrived on time and got acclimated quickly with my daughter. They played games and by the time I returned home it was lights out. Overall a great experience and I foresee myself rebooking with Adriana again. ”

Melissa $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Melissa and I grew up in the Bay Area, I am offering house sitting, dog or cat sitting, or part-time babysitting. I have worked for the City of San Pablo for about 3 years now. My position there is a part-time recreation leader where I facilitated activities for youth in summer camps, school break camps, & field trips! I am quick to learn new things & I love activities outdoors. I am also very good at arts & crafts which helps me build strong relationships with any child that I care for. I own two dogs, one of which has passed away, & I get along really well with animals! I also currently work at a small cafe in San Pablo, CA. I can multitask, clean & run errands as needed. I am open to housesitting, cat/dogsitting, & of course childcare!
