Hello Families! Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. My name is Athena. I am a Monterey county resident whose lived here my entire life. I'm a Non-smoking wife and mother of 4. I have 9 siblings, and a total of 28 niece's and nephews all of which I have cared for. I am fully covid vaccinated, including boostered. I am happy to provide proof at your request. Being that I am a full time Mom and also full time employed, I'm currently only looking for occasional jobs ( such as but not limited to: date nights, errand runs, meetings, work events, last minute sitter, weekends, after school care etc). I enjoy meeting new families and absolutely love children. I have over 30 yrs of child care experience! I'm a PTA Mom and I volunteer at my children's school whenever possible. I am comfortable with children of all ages including newborns and Preteens. I will always respect your wishes and will do my best to follow your routine. I enjoy outdoor activities, board games, building blocks/legos/puzzles, play dough, movies and arts & crafts. I consider myself a "go getter". I am very passionate about the time I spend caring for the children I babysit. Hotel Stays, Airbnb's, No problem! I will make the best out of every situation.. (I am also able provide services for group events where multiple sitters are requested as I have several sitter friends if multiple sitters needed). ** I am willing to travel up to 45 miles for an additional fee. ** I am punctual, reliable, easy going, patient, openminded and friendly. -Athena

Athena was a delight to work with! We were in town for a wedding and needed help watching our kids at our hotel. I was a little nervous about it since it was a small hotel room but Athena was a pro! She quickly connected with my kids and put them at ease. She brought some fun toys and games that engaged the kids and they had a blast. Highly recommend!

Booked by 25 families in Monterey, CA

Hi- My name is Aylin, I’m currently a college student majoring in collaborative human health services with a concentration in Social work at CSUMB. I am offering child care as well as pet care! I enjoy working and getting to know kids. I’ve worked with many families and also have prior experience with my siblings and my families kids. My responsibilities were driving the kids to a certain place, going to the park, arts and crafts and also staying at home just watching over them and also running errands for the family.

Aylin was great! She confirmed ahead of time and showed up right on time. She also helped us out while our son is potty training, which is always a bit tricky and we really appreciated her patience.

Hello families. I have a part time babysitting job and like to take on extra babysitting nights when I have extra time and availability. I have plenty experience with children’s age 1 and up. I like to keep them engaged whether it is playing, reading books etc.

Alejandra was really great! She watched my 2 and 5 year, doing dinner and putting them both to bed! She sent great updates and has such a lovely personality!!! Will ask her back again!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
