Dilornie San Jose
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello Families! My name is Dilornie and I am 18 years of age, recently moved to San Jose from Seattle, Washington. I’m looking for opportunities as a babysitter because I enjoy taking care and watching children grow in their own unique ways. I have been a babysitter since the age of 13, starting within my own family care, watching my little siblings and my older siblings kids; ranging from an infant all the way up to 8 year olds. I never thought of babysitting as a job, babysitting has always been something I truly enjoyed. I am also someone who enjoys keeping and maintaining a clean environment for your children while cooking to make sure that they get all their nutrients! In addition to babysitting, I am open to senior care. I have been caregiving as well for 1-2 years, taking care of my own grandparents back home in Seattle, and I truly value my time spent taking care of the elderly. I would be more than grateful to have the opportunity to support and be there for your family!

Hi! My name is Sara, and I am a college student pursuing a career in healthcare. I am currently enrolled in a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) program and am passionate about helping others through compassionate, dependable care. My long-term goal is to continue my education in the healthcare field, and I enjoy gaining experience working with people of all ages. I have over two years of experience working in a pediatric clinic, where I have developed strong communication, organizational, and caregiving skills while working with children and their families. In addition to my professional experience, I have spent many years helping care for my younger family members, which has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of creating a safe and supportive environment. Outside of school and work, I enjoy spending time with family, staying active, and finding ways to help others. I am reliable, caring, and attentive, and I strive to make those around me feel comfortable and supported. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing meals, engaging in fun activities, assisting with daily routines, or simply being a positive role model, I am committed to providing quality care and building trusting relationships with the families I work with.

Izabel San Jose
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! 😊 My name is Bella, and I recently graduated from the University of San Francisco with a degree in Business Administration. As I navigate my next career steps, I’m looking for a part-time opportunity to support families who need a responsible and caring babysitter. I come from a very tight-knit family, so I’ve been around children all my life! Growing up, I was always the one helping out with younger cousins, and that experience has made me naturally patient, kind, and nurturing. I also have experience babysitting for families in Hawaii during my breaks back home, caring for kids of various ages and ensuring they feel safe, engaged, and well cared for. I genuinely love spending time with kids, whether it’s engaging in creative activities, helping with homework, or simply making them laugh. My goal is always to create a safe, fun, and positive environment where kids feel happy and comfortable. Outside of babysitting, I love staying active by going to the gym, grocery shopping (yes, it’s one of my favorite things to do!), and making the most of my days by being productive. Whether it’s organizing, setting goals, or working on creative projects, I thrive on structure and positivity, something I also bring into my caregiving approach. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and be a trusted sitter for your little ones. Feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to chat and see if I’d be a great fit for your family! 😊✨

Xitllali San Jose
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Xitllali but you can call me Lali. I’m currently a student at De Anza College majoring in History. I am offering childcare services for children of all ages. I have experience babysitting a 1-year-old I cared for a few summers ago for a family friend, as well as regularly helping take care of my 2-year-old cousin, Enzo. My experience includes supervising toddlers, but I’m also comfortable with older children and different age ranges. My responsibilities have included playtime, meals, naps, and making sure kids are safe, engaged and cared for. I enjoy being a babysitter and spending time with children of all ages. I like being hands-on, whether that means playing, helping with routines, or just keeping things calm and fun. I’m patient, responsible, and easy to work with. I have a driver’s license with a clean driving record, which allows me to help with transportation if needed. I have basic knowledge of Spanish and can help with simple communication or homework if needed.

"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
