Hi! I'm Jocelyn, a bilingual (English & Spanish) caregiver with over 5 years of hands-on babysitting experience I've worked with children from 2 months to 13 years old in a variety of settings, including in-home care, school programs, and nonprofit internship focused on food education for kids. I'm CPR and First Aid certified. I'm energetic, patient, and love connecting with each child on their level - whether that means getting down on the floor , reading the same book three times in a row, or taking stroller strolls to the park. I've cared for over 20 kiddos through Care. com and UrbanSitter and consistently nannied for families with toddlers, infants, and school-aged children. Most of the families I've worked with have had toddlers, so I'm experienced with nap time, meals, and outdoor play. I also enjoy helping older kids with homework and finding fun ways to connect. Working with children brings me joy - I love learning what makes each child unique. Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have. I look forward to meeting your family and providing the best care for your children!

Jocelyn showed up on time and was super loving with my kids.

I really enjoy working with kids and being a part of their learning journey and experiences. I also enjoy helping parents and families to make life a little easier! I have more than 7 years of experience taking care of children in their home setting. During the school year I work within San Francisco Public Schools as a mental health therapist with elementary and middle school aged children. Let's set up a time to video chat or have a phone call before the initial babysitting start date, so I can learn more about your family and what you are looking for! I look forward to hearing from you!

Ilana was great. On time and communicative and even on a night where they could just watch movies she mixed in some pauses and games to get the kids moving and not just being tv zombies.

Hi, I’m Gloria, I’m 29 years old and I love working with children. I have experience caring for little ones of all ages. I consider myself a responsible, loving, patient person who is always attentive to children’s well-being. I have training in child development, first aid, and pediatric CPR, as well as references that can confirm my work.

In case of an emergency, I know how to act calmly and effectively thanks to my training. More than just babysitting, my goal is to support children in their growth and learning, in an environment full of respect and joy. I’m available for interviews and happy to share references.

Booked by 3 families in Canyon, CA

Hello! My name is Rakita I have over 25 years of babysitting and nannying experience with ages newborn to 12 yrs. I love to have fun, play games, read and provide excellent care to my families. I love to find out what my children’s interests are and allow them to lead in their play. For the little kiddos - playdoe, music, coloring and/or making toy/lego art. A favorite of mine is making oooblek which is a wonderful goo that toddlers to 3rd graders love to make. I also love to incorporate fun meal prep activities based on a child’s food preference and allergies. So if your child would like, we can make ants on a log (celery, your preferred butter if not peanut and raisins) or we make our own S’morse minus the camp fire☺️ or they help me make cookies and we decorate them, we can also decorate graham crackers if you prefer we don’t use the oven. Looking forward to meeting you! Thank you, Rakita

This was our first time leaving our 18m old twins with someone other than a close friend or family member. We had a family wedding to attend and wanted to feel assured that the girls would be well cared for so we could relax and enjoy ourselves. Rakita's confidence, warmth, and professionalism made me feel confident the girls would handle the experience well. She came equipped with new books and toys to help keep them engaged and got right down to play and interact with them while we finished getting ready. She sent wonderful updates and photos through the evening. Best of all she was gentle and loving getting them both down to sleep for the night. I would highly recommend Rakita. She is open and easy with her love, prompt in responses, and reliable. We were thrilled to have such a wonderful caretaker for our first hiring experience.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
