Xitllali $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Xitllali but you can call me Lali. I’m currently a student at De Anza College majoring in History. I am offering childcare services for children of all ages. I have experience babysitting a 1-year-old I cared for a few summers ago for a family friend, as well as regularly helping take care of my 2-year-old cousin, Enzo. My experience includes supervising toddlers, but I’m also comfortable with older children and different age ranges. My responsibilities have included playtime, meals, naps, and making sure kids are safe, engaged and cared for. I enjoy being a babysitter and spending time with children of all ages. I like being hands-on, whether that means playing, helping with routines, or just keeping things calm and fun. I’m patient, responsible, and easy to work with. I have a driver’s license with a clean driving record, which allows me to help with transportation if needed. I have basic knowledge of Spanish and can help with simple communication or homework if needed.

Izabel $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! 😊 My name is Bella, and I recently graduated from the University of San Francisco with a degree in Business Administration. As I navigate my next career steps, I’m looking for a part-time opportunity to support families who need a responsible and caring babysitter. I come from a very tight-knit family, so I’ve been around children all my life! Growing up, I was always the one helping out with younger cousins, and that experience has made me naturally patient, kind, and nurturing. I also have experience babysitting for families in Hawaii during my breaks back home, caring for kids of various ages and ensuring they feel safe, engaged, and well cared for. I genuinely love spending time with kids, whether it’s engaging in creative activities, helping with homework, or simply making them laugh. My goal is always to create a safe, fun, and positive environment where kids feel happy and comfortable. Outside of babysitting, I love staying active by going to the gym, grocery shopping (yes, it’s one of my favorite things to do!), and making the most of my days by being productive. Whether it’s organizing, setting goals, or working on creative projects, I thrive on structure and positivity, something I also bring into my caregiving approach. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and be a trusted sitter for your little ones. Feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to chat and see if I’d be a great fit for your family! 😊✨

"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)."
