Booked by 1 family in Redwood City, CA

Hi! My name is Sam, and I am a recent college grad looking for some supplemental income while entering the job market. I am great with pets, and have been taking care of my own cat Lou for many years. I have pet-sat for friends and clients for over 4 years, and have experience taking care of pets with medications and other medical needs. With my own cat, I know how important it is to find a flexible and trustworthy petsitter! I am happy to walk dogs, spend time with pets during the day, and feed and care for pets while you are away. My schedule is very flexible, so I have plenty of time to visit your pet during the day or schedule over-night stays during the week or weekend. I happy to adapt to whatever quirks and emotional or physical needs your pet has! If there are any medical needs or personality issues to be aware of, I would love to organize a visit ahead of time to get to know the pet and their home. I am also happy to do other small things around the house as needed, like watering plants or bringing in packages.

Samantha has taken phenomenal care of my puppy the past few months. She is responsible and respectful and has been a great communicator.

Yoselin $35 per hour for 1 child

I had the pleasure of working with a family for over seven years, caring for their children throughout many important stages of their lives. When I first began, I cared for their 3-year-old, their 9-year-old, and later helped care for their newborn. During my time with the family, I provided dependable and compassionate care, including overnight and live-in support whenever needed while the parents traveled out of town for work meetings in Sacramento. I always treated the children with patience, love, and responsibility, and I became someone the family could truly rely on. Although it was difficult to leave, I relocated and I am very grateful for the support and encouragement the family gave me throughout that decision. This is the reason behind my ongoing journey with being a nanny. Warm, dependable, and attentive nanny with hands-on experience caring for children of various ages.

"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)."
