Hi! My name is Sophia. I am a Criminal Intelligence Analyst and UC Davis graduate (BA in International Relations, double minor in Human Rights & Communications) with over a decade of hands-on experience caring for, mentoring, and teaching youth of all ages. My background in intelligence analysis means safety, attention to detail, clear communication, and quick, practical thinking are second nature to me. Parents can rest easy knowing their kids are in attentive, responsible, and capable hands. Experience & Background I have worked in childcare since age 12, caring for children ages 1 to 17: -10+ Years Babysitting & Nannying: Experienced with all routines, including healthy meal prep, bath time, transport, engaging play, and bedtime. -STEM Program Coordinator & After-School Instructor: Managed energetic classrooms, keeping kids engaged through hands-on learning, teamwork, and patience. -Camp Counselor (6 Years): Led active daily programs for kids ages 4–12. -Youth Mentor & Tutor (3 Years): Provided academic support and mentorship to refugee youth ages 8–17 in Sacramento. -Pet-Friendly: Raised dogs my whole life and spent years as a shelter canine handler, so I love helping with furry family members! Personality & Style I bring a vibrant, bubbly energy alongside a calm, patient temperament. Whether we’re tackling homework, working on a creative project, or enjoying active outdoor fun, I love supporting children’s personal and academic growth. My approach pairs warm encouragement with clear, respectful boundaries so kids feel safe, happy, and well-behaved. Key Skills -Academic Support: K–12 homework help, reading, and STEM tutoring -Languages: Native English speaker with full professional proficiency in Spanish -Household Help: Nutritious meal prep, light cleanup, and pet care I view caring for kids as a privilege and bring reliability, warmth, and peace of mind to every home.

Kylie $25 per hour for 1 child

I'm a friendly, creative, experienced caregiver who adores working with kids. I am back in Sacramento after years as a creative in New York City. I love to bring that creativity and sense of play into my time babysitting and uncovering/engaging with what your kids are excited about. I started working in kid's camps in local Sacramento parks through high school and college. There we really focused on expanding imagination and a sense of play with kids 3-12. In college, I began working as a nanny for a few families in the San Diego area- those kids were between the ages of 2&7. In my 9 years in NYC, I also worked as a nanny for a family with children from the time their oldest was 18 months to when he was 9 years old and they moved. I was fortunate enough to be with that family through the birth of their second and third children. I gained experience with newborn and infant care, and the joys/challenges of bed time for three little ones. I'm comfortable with covering dinner/bath/and bedtime as well as running kids all over town for their myriad of activities. I also can make any lazy Saturday into a backyard adventure. I'd love to hang with your kiddos!

Hi my name is Yasmeen I'm very patient, reliable, trustworthy and energetic. I always try to make life easier for parents however | can. I love building genuine connections with children while also helping families keep routines smooth and stress free. I have experience with infants, toddlers and school aged kids, and I'm comfortable caring for multiple children at once. I enjoy keeping kids engaged with crafts, games, educational activities, outdoor play, movies, bedtime routines, homework help and fun creative activities that match their personalities and interests. I also don't mind helping with light housekeeping such as dishes, laundry, tidying up, organizing, meal/ snack prep, errands or pet care if needed.Communication is very important to me, so I always keep parents updated and make sure their expectations are met. Families often describe me as kind, dependable, nurturing, and easy to communicate with. I'm CPR/First Aid certified and always prioritize safety while still making sure kids have fun and feel supported. I would love the opportunity to become someone your family can truly rely on long term

She was reliable, attentive, and wonderful with the kids. She was caring, and made sure the kids were safe and comfortable. I would definitely recommend her and would gladly book her again.

Samara $20 per hour for 1 child

Hii, I’m Samara I have over 4 years of experience caring for children from newborns to 12 years old, always with dedication, responsibility, and warmth. During this time, I developed important skills such as creating safe routines, encouraging creativity through playful and educational activities, and supporting children’s emotional growth. In addition to my experience as a nanny/babysitter, I also worked as a Portuguese teacher for 8-year-old girls in a non-profit organization. This experience strengthened my patience, communication, and creativity while teaching, and it deepened my passion for working with children—helping them learn, develop, and thrive in a positive and nurturing environment. I also have knowledge of the Montessori approach, which allows me to foster independence, respect, and curiosity in children.

"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)."
