Olu-Ebube $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a compassionate, dependable caregiver with a strong background in childcare, senior care, and household support, grounded in my work as a postpartum doula and direct-care provider. I have hands-on experience supporting families with infants, toddlers, school-aged children, and elders, and I bring a calm, nurturing, and safety-focused presence into every home I serve. As a doula, I specialize in emotional support, routine building, infant care, feeding support, soothing techniques, and creating a peaceful, organized environment for families. I am deeply attentive to children’s emotional and developmental needs and enjoy engaging them in age-appropriate activities such as reading, creative play, music, gentle movement, and outdoor time. I also have experience providing non-medical senior care, including companionship, light meal prep, household assistance, and cognitive-supportive engagement for elders with memory or mobility challenges. I am patient, respectful, and attentive to individual needs and dignity. In addition to caregiving, I offer household support services such as light cleaning, laundry, organization, simple cooking, and errand assistance, helping families feel supported and less overwhelmed. I am CPR/First Aid trained, reliable, and committed to creating a safe, warm, and supportive environment for those in my care.

Booked by 1 family in San Jose, CA

Hello my name Mien, and i am a dedicated and compassionate pet care provider with a genuine love for animals of all kinds. With years of a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats, I pride myself on crating a safe, comfortable and joyful environment for every pet I look after. Animals aren't just pet for me, they are family. That's why I focus on building trust, offering patience and giving each animal the attention they deserve. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, playtime or special-care routines. I am reliable, detail-oriented, and comfortable handling pets with different personalities, from energetic pups to shy or senior companions. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry friends are in carrying and attentive hands. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pets with the same love and respect as you do, I will be honored to help.

Zulema $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in San Jose, CA

Hello- My name is Zulema, I am 43 yrs old, married for 22 years and a mother of two (ages 20 and 16). I’m an experienced early childhood educator and parent coach with over 20 years of experience supporting children and families in preschool, early intervention, school-based, and family-service settings. I hold a Master’s degree in Child and Adolescent Developmental Psychology and am passionate about creating nurturing, engaging, and developmentally appropriate experiences for children. My approach to caregiving is warm, patient, and play-based. I enjoy helping children learn through everyday activities, imaginative play, books, art, music, outdoor time, and age-appropriate routines. I understand the importance of supporting children’s social-emotional development, communication, independence, and confidence while also making sure they feel safe, understood, and cared for. I have experience working with children from early childhood through school-age years, including children with developmental delays. In my previous roles, I have collaborated with families, educators, counselors, social workers, and behavioral support professionals. I am comfortable using positive guidance, clear routines, visual supports and calming strategies tailored to each child’s individual needs. As a sitter, I value open communication with parents and will always respect your family’s routines, preferences, and parenting style. I can provide updates about your child’s activities, mood, meals, sleep, play, and any important moments during my time with them. I am also bilingual in English and Spanish and would be happy to support Spanish language exposure if that is meaningful for your family. I am looking for occasional nanny and babysitting opportunities where I can provide dependable, attentive, and compassionate care. Whether you need support for a date night, weekend plans, appointments, special events, or an occasional extra set of hands, I would love to help create a positive and comfortable experience for your child and peace of mind for you.

"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."

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)."
