Hello, my name is Tatianna, I am a college graduate from Ottawa University Arizona and just moved back to the bay! (Baby sat through UrbanSitter in Az as well) I am offering childcare, senior care, and household services. I love to help out families in need! I love babysitting, I have been babysitting for members in my family since I was 14. I watched kids from newborns through high school. Some responsibilities I’ve had to take on while babysitting have been making meals, bath time/play time along with age appropriate activities, driving kids to and from school, and also to any practices that they may have whether it’s sports, dancing, and or arts. Not only am I passionate about my babysitting, I love to help take care of the elder. I love to cook, I love to clean, and I love to run errands wherever I need to go. I am not allergic to any animals. I love dogs and cats.

Hi Parents, I’m Sofia! I’m offering childcare, pet sitting, light household chores, etc. I am bilingual in English and Tagalog but also speak some Spanish. One thing about me is that I’ve always loved playing and being around kids since I was a teen. I’ve learned a lot about being patient with them, and I think that’s one of the most important things as a nanny. My experience in babysitting has included working with ages newborn-10 years! I am currently working with 17 month old twins and love it! I met them when they were 2 months old so I have lots of experience with babies! I’ve been babysitting for almost 6 years now. I’ve worked both full time and part time with a few families all ranging from 1-4 kids at a time. I am also willing to work occasional date nights, or if you just simply need someone to cover for a day. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school and after school sports/activities, light home schooling, crafts, keeping kids active (walks, hikes, adventures.) changing diapers, feeding lunch and snacks, meal prepping and just making sure they are good throughout the day. I have worked with families outside of UrbanSitter but have also met some amazing families from this community. I understand that working with kids requires a lot of patience and I believe I have abundance of it. The parents I have worked with would say I work well under pressure and really good at staying calm when things get chaotic. I truly love being around kids! At family gatherings, you’ll always find me playing with the kids and keeping them entertained. I am also more than willing to help tackle any household chores, grocery shopping, and errands you may not have had time for. I will always find something to do (when kids are napping, or not around). I’d love to make things easier for your family and help in anyway I can! I’m easy going, and very understanding. I will absolutely treat and love your kids like they are my own because I know it’s tough to trust a stranger - I will be nothing but a great help and addition to your family. :) Another bonus is I don’t mind being around dogs and cats, I love fur babies as well, and would be willing so pet sit for you. I can provide you other references if needed outside of the ones that are on my profile. Please free to reach out if you think it will be a good fit and I would love to schedule a time to chat with you :)

Hi, I’m Katherine! I started babysitting a couple of years ago for family, and then decided to work in the food industry. I worked for social vocational services, where I gained experience working with adults that have intellectual disabilities. There I was able to introduce many skills that everyone should be able to learn. I currently work for a beautiful family of 4 kids in the evening. They leave on vacation for the holidays and I will be available during holiday breaks, as well as mornings!

Booked by 3 families in San Lorenzo, CA

I am a dedicated professional nanny with a strong passion of supporting children’s growth , development , and well being. I provide a safe nurturing and structured environment where children can thrive emotionally, and socially. With a calm and dependable approach I focus on age appropriate activities that encourage learning through play, creativity and routine. I value open communication with parents and work closely with families to support household routines, developmental goals and individuals parenting styles. I am know for being patience and ability to build strong trusting relationships with both children’s and parents. My goal is always to create a positive and , engaging environment where children feel secure, confident and care for.

We had the pleasure of having Michelle care for our daughter since January 2025, and we are so grateful for the time she spent with our family. Unfortunately, due to a change in my employment, we had to end her work with us earlier than expected, but we wanted to take the time to share how wonderful she has been. Michelle is incredibly reliable. She was always on time and made sure our daughter’s needs were met consistently. Her dependability gave us peace of mind, knowing that our little one was in great hands while we were at work. Her kindness and warmth are unmatched. Our 10-month-old daughter quickly formed a strong bond with Michelle, and we could see how much Michelle genuinely cared for her. She has a natural ability to connect with children and was always so patient, loving, and nurturing. We also appreciated Michelle’s openness to suggestions. As parents, we had certain routines and preferences, and Michelle was always willing to listen, adapt, and ensure we were all on the same page. This flexibility made working together a real pleasure. Michelle also went above and beyond by helping with cooking and tidying up around the house. She was never hesitant to lend a hand and always kept things organized, which was such a huge help for our busy family. Additionally, Michelle is a safe and responsible driver, which was important for us when she would take our daughter on park outings or to the library. Knowing that she is cautious and reliable behind the wheel added another layer of trust and comfort. Though we wish our time with Michelle could have lasted longer, we are incredibly thankful for all she did for our family. We highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a kind, dependable, and thoughtful nanny.

My names is Stephanie, and I love working with children because seeing them learn to explore, grow and have fun brings me so much joy. I’m caring, patient and I love creating a space where kids of all ages can feel safe and be themselves. I’m very responsible and compassionate and fully committed on supporting families in their different needs. I’ve been nannying for about 9 years now, and it’s more than just watching kids, I truly enjoy being around them, engaging with them, seeing how their brains work and grow. Children bring so much happiness and I love to help families experience that with out the stress of having to worry about child care. I’m new to this app, but have a lot of experience behind me. The children I have been nannying for are getting older, entering school, and the family doesn’t require me full time any more, so I’ve decided to look into longterm and short term care for others. I’d love to be considered when looking for help! Please reach out if you have any further questions!

"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)."
