Hi! I’m Katie. Thank you for checking out my profile. I would love an opportunity to help you with your littles! A little relevant experience: I have taken several parenting classes and Early Childhood development classes. I hold two Associates Degrees in Social Science and Psychology, and I am studying part time towards my goal of eventually earning a BA in Social work and becoming an LCSW. I have personal experience caring for children through my own daughter, as well as some professional experience fostering children prior to COVID-19. I am infant, child and adult CPR/AED/First aid certified, and I hold a Servsafe Food Handlers card so you can entrust me with your children and with preparing and serving them healthy foods in a safe manner if meal preparation is required. I love all animals, and I am also a regular dog sitter and house sitter on Rover, so taking care of your pets and kids simultaneously would be no issue! I am very big on outdoor play, walks around the neighborhood whether in a stroller or wagon or inching along on little legs is fine by me! Helps to slow me down as an adult in tbjs busy life anyway! I am open to watching them at home only or if we establish a relationship and continuing care, then I am all for play outings to a nearby recreational pool or beach spot along the lake for a few hours to let kids play in nature and explore. Discovery Park, Effie Yaw Nature Center, Land Park, and Lake Natoma are great options I like for small kids, but if families have their preferred play spot, or we play in backyard only, that is fine by me! So I am licensed also, no worries. I have been driving for over 15 years, have a clean driving record (not even a ticket), own a safe and reliable Mercedes Benz SUV that is fully insured with AAA so any traveling with the kids will be safe.

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. I look forward to meeting your family!

Thamara $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a full-time college student, so I will need flexible hours. While I am new to babysitting and nannying, I genuinely enjoy being around kids; they are interesting and fun to talk to. My experience thus far mainly comes from babysitting my little cousins, but I would like to expand my babysitting experience. Additionally, I have experience with dog-sitting, having taken care of my neighbor's four dogs and their cat. I love little furry animals!

"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)."
