Jackeline $30 per hour for 1 child

Nurturing a child's curiosity and watching them reach new milestones is my greatest passion. With six years of experience 4 years in a daycare, caring for children ages 5-month-old to 3 years old I prioritize creating a patient, creative, and safe environment. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules to ensure consistency for your little one. Whether we are playing outdoor sports or solving puzzles, I love keeping children active and engaged. I hold CPR training and First Aid certifications. I value clear communication and provide regular updates via text, phone calls, or verbal reports at pickup to keep you informed. Because I have a reliable car and love animals, I am happy to assist with school runs or pet-friendly households. I am truly honored to be a positive influence in your child's life and look forward to building a meaningful connection with your family.

Ana $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Ana and I’m currently a senior at Dominican University of California. I am offering child care, pet care, senior care, and household I love being a babysitter and have worked with kids ages 1-15. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and meal cooking. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own father who suffered from a stroke in 2021 and left him completely paralyzed from the right side of his body, so I am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. I have 2 cats and 2 dogs of my own, so I am more than happy to work with families that have cats and dogs. I am also more than happy to take dogs out for walks and to appointments if needed!

Booked by 2 families in Fairfax, CA

Hello! My name is Griselda. Many call me Gris or Grizzy for short. I am offering afternoon and weekend childcare as well as care during school breaks(for example: winter, mid-winter, spring and summer break). I have been working with children from a young age and as I grew older, I turned my genuine love for children into a professional occupation. For the last three years, I have been working at a preschool, teaching children from the ages 2-5. Despite working with these ages, I am open to working with children of any age. I am CPR certified and have taken multiple Early Childhood Education courses at COM where I learned how to keep children safe, and how to develop a nurturing environment where they can thrive.

"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."

"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)."
