Grandma experienced with kids looking forward to helping raise more kiddos now that my grandkids are grown. Looking for occasional jobs. Available in San Jose and San Francisco.

She was a wonderful babysitter—warm, attentive, and instantly connected with our 3-year-old daughter. She kept her happily engaged with age-appropriate play, followed routines perfectly, and made us feel completely at ease. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to other families.

Hi! My name is Molly and I'm looking for childcare opportunities this summer! I have a very flexible schedule during the summer months until school starts up again. During the school year, I work as a garden teacher at an elementary school. I have worked in youth programming in both educational and informal settings, and I love inspiring children to connect with nature and their surroundings. I love animals and am happy to work with families with pets. If this sounds like it could be a fit for your family, let me know! :)

We’ve hired Molly as an extra kids helper for our church’s gatherings multiple times, so we’ve had the opportunity to watch her first-hand with our kids. Molly is on-time, kind, and responsive. She engages with kids in a naturally warm and helpful way, and communicates well with parents and volunteers, too. We'll definitely hire Molly again!

Hi! I’m Olivia, an extroverted and caring person in my early 30s. I’m currently pursuing a second master’s degree in project management. I’m warm, reliable, and genuinely enjoy supporting people and their families in meaningful, everyday ways. --- 🐾 Pet Care I have nearly two years of experience supporting families with both large and small animals. My background includes walking dogs, administering medication, boarding pets, and taking them to parks for playtime. I’m comfortable with most pets, though I prefer not to care for advanced senior animals or those that aren’t potty trained. --- 🧸 Child Care I have over two years of experience caring for children from infancy through their teen years. I especially enjoy engaging toddlers and school‑age kids through outdoor play, board games, creative activities, and baking. I’m fluent in Portuguese and love introducing children to new languages in fun, age‑appropriate ways. --- 👵 Senior Care My experience includes providing personal care and companionship to seniors and individuals with disabilities, including those with autism and Down syndrome. I also spent time in a live‑in volunteer caregiving environment, supporting daily routines, preparing meals, running errands, and offering companionship. I genuinely enjoy connecting with seniors through conversation, shared stories, and puzzles.

Olivia is fantastic! She is always on time, super flexible with scheduling, trustworthy and very Communicative. My 3 year old adores her. She is warm and has a positive energy. I fully recommend her! 10/10!!!

I have 5 years of experience as both a live-in and live-out nanny. Families describe me as warm, reliable, caring, and responsible. I have experience with infants, toddlers, and older children, including school pickups, activities, potty training, bedtime routines, and creating fun, engaging activities. I have my own car and a clean driving record. I also enjoy helping families keep their homes organized and running smoothly by assisting with organizing, laundry, dishes, vacuuming, light and deep cleaning, and creating clean, cozy spaces. I’m very organized, proactive, and love creating a calm and happy environment for both children and parents. All my nanny positions have been long-term, and I truly value the strong relationships and trust I build with families. Key skills: Patience, responsibility, empathy, creativity, and genuine care.

I’m very happy with the result and would definitely hire her again, highly recommend

Hi! I have a Master of Health Administration degree from the University of Washington. I leverage my academic work as a full-time as a Consultant, where I assist healthcare systems with strategy and finances. I also teach at CorePower Yoga part-time, as I am passionate about collaborating with clients on their healthcare journeys. I am looking to be a babysitter, as I enjoy working with families and children. I babysat in my hometown in Seattle, as well as in Chicago, serving as testaments that I can collaborate and serve diverse families in various regions. I would pick the children up from school, help with reading comprehension, homework, and arts and crafts. I used to be a nursing assistant, so I have direct care experience in helping children and proving direct care. I am CPR and AED certified. I have been working with elderly and children for about four years. Additionally, I have experience in engaging in housekeeping and other errand activities, such as ordering groceries, cooking, and cleaning. In my free time, I run and train marathons; recently qualified to run the Chicago Marathon in October 2025. I also enjoy snowboarding and walking around the parks. Reading, journaling, and travel are also important hobbies of mine! I look forward to hearing from you!

Alyssa was very responsive, punctual, and went above and beyond taking excellent care of Playa.

"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)."
