Booked by 4 families in Los Gatos, CA

Hi families! My name is Melody. I’m originally from Germany and have been living in California for the past 7+ years. I’m fluent in English, German and Turkish (and I’m currently learning Spanish on Duolingo!). I bring over 8 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. I’m currently working at a German school teaching German and I also work at a daycare as a childcare provider. Working with children truly brings me joy and creating safe, happy moments for them is what I love most. Families and friends describe me as trustworthy, warm, caring, reliable, and respectful. At the moment, I’m looking for one-time or occasional babysitting jobs, including date nights. I look forward to meeting you and supporting your family!🍀

“Melody was punctual, caring and did not get annoyed by my 5 years old telling her many stories. It was great ! Strongly recommend !”

My mom is the youngest of 10 kids so I grew up always babysitting all my little cousins. That love for childcare developed into working at an elementary school in my senior year of high school and now babysitting as much as I can in my senior year of college at Santa Clara University. I'm good with kids, I'm pretty flexible with scheduling, and I am a great role model and positive influence for all age groups- including my 4 year old brother Ashton :) I am highly capable of any job you can throw at me and I am eager to work! Some fun facts: - I love animals - I paint watercolor - I got all A's last term If you would like to reach me for an interview, please call or text me anytime at: 917 (then) 627 (then) 7627 and I will answer or get back to you as soon as possible. All the best, Nash :)

Belinda $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello Santa Clara Families Caring for seniors isn't easy. Often, they are more fragile than they realize themselves. I worked as a Personal Care Assistant for eights years in assisted living and private homes. I do transfers, daily hygiene, housekeeping, and cooking. I'm not afraid of work and would rather get it done and then sit and chat. I'm a good listener. I'm sort of a fuddy-duddy home type and I like to make things look nice. I would like a situation where my caregiving means something good for someone. Please let me know how I may help.

Hello! I'm Valentina 😊. I’m a current Au Pair living in Cupertino with a strong background in childcare and education. I studied at a pedagogical school back home, where I did my teaching practices with elementary school kids. I have extensive experience caring for children of all ages—from sweet 4-month-old babies to 12-year-olds. I love keeping kids safe, happy, and engaged. That´s why I love to make experiments and different activities with them! I absolutely love dogs and have plenty of experience with dog sitting too! I'm also available for house cleaning to help keep your home clean and tidy. I am responsible, trustworthy, and hardworking. I have great local and international references ready to share with you. I’d love to help your family out! Feel free to send me a message. Best, Valentina 😊

"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

"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)."
