I’ll be happy to answer any of your questions. My life was full of small stories, as I was born with a “setting” in my mind, that I would love to understand what life is about in general. And I learned what is most important and why. One of the most important things (better to say values) is a good supportive atmosphere in a family, which I do with all my effort trying to keep in my family and will be putting not less effort to keep it in yours. I worked in IT for 10 years, before my youngest daughter was born. She is 17 now, finishing high school. Last 15 years (before we moved to California from Chicago) I was working in 2 derections. I was organizing art, music events and was working on a concept of “kid’s club” - informal studying, where kids would be able to see where is their natural potential, their inner strengths are. I’ll be happy to work with your kids and do my best to help them to develop what they can do the best, while to keep developing other strengths. Looking forward to hear from you. I was born in Belous (we speak Russian at home). My family immigrated to US in 1989. I was at the age of my youngest daughter

“Yulia has been amazing with my 2-year-old! She's deeply caring and brings the best energy to every visit. What I appreciated most is how independent and proactive she is - she respects our wishes as parents but never needs detailed instructions. When my son wasn't feeling well, she was incredibly patient and accommodating, and once he recovered, she had him out on long walks and bike rides. Highly recommend!”

Hi families! 🤍 My name is Leslie, I am born and raised in the Bay Area. I’m a triple major in Child and Adolescent Development and Double concentration in Information Systems & Decision Sciences at San Francisco State University! (Finished December 2024🎉). I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and welcoming environment for children. I believe children teach us valuable lessons in countless ways! My experience includes volunteering in a K-12 after school program and caring for family members from toddler through their early teens. Some duties included: Assisting them with homework, making sure they are safe on the playground, playing games/board games, and assisting with snack/lunch time. I also have worked with families for weekly scheduled times. Duties included pick up from school & driving them to their after school sport activities! On occasions, helping with bedtime routines. As for pets, I’ve been surrounded by them my entire life, both in my own home and while helping care for the pets of family and friends. I also have experience pet-sitting for families and truly enjoy forming bonds with furry companions. Thank you for considering me to support your family’s needs. I look forward to the opportunity to connect!😊 **I have my own transportation**

Hi! My name is Maya and I am a recent Berkeley graduate! I live in Daly City and have been babysitting multiple families throughout the Bay Area over the past 9 years! I’ve provided childcare for children ages 1-10 and as well as have experience working with children with special needs and learning disabilities. I also have taken on additional duties such as tutoring in Math and English, after school pickup and drop offs (I have my own vehicle!), taking children to parks, museums, etc and I’ve been on care.com for a few years now and decided to try Urban Sitter! I have a very flexible schedule this summer and can connect you with references and answer any questions!

“Maya was fantastic - my girls loved her and we will definitely have her babysit again!”

Booked by 4 families in Pacifica, CA

My name is Sofia, and I’m a rising junior at UC Santa Barbara, home for the summer. I have been babysitting on and off since 7th grade. I’ve worked primarily for three families. The first two roles involved caring for one child each (ages 4 and 6), while the third involved caring for three siblings (ages 2, 5, and 8), including one child with special needs. Caring for an 8-year-old boy with brain cancer, which affected both his physical and cognitive abilities, taught me patience, adaptability, and how to communicate when verbal communication was limited. I also spent three years working as a math tutor at Mathnasium, where I worked with groups of three to four students at a time, ranging from preschool through high school. Managing multiple children at once strengthened my patience, communication skills, and ability to keep kids engaged while adapting to different ages and learning styles. I'd describe myself as creative, which helps me get along with kids. The majority of my experience has been with no-screen families, so I am very comfortable keeping kids entertained with fun activities, imaginative play, crafts, reading, and spending time outdoors. I enjoy finding activities that match each child's interests and energy level rather than relying on screens. Above all, I want parents to feel confident that their children are safe and well cared for. I enjoy creating a fun, engaging environment while respecting each family's routines and parenting style. Whether we're doing crafts, playing outside, or winding down for bedtime, I strive to be patient, dependable, and someone both parents and kids feel comfortable with. I have reliable transportation and am happy to do pickups or drive to activities. I have had my license for well over 3 years. I’m looking for short-term work while I’m home for the summer before returning to school in September, and I have a very flexible schedule. Please contact me with any questions you may have. I look forward to the opportunity to communicate with you and make new little friends!

"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)."
