Dilornie $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!

Danyil $30 per hour for 1 child

I was born in Ukraine and moved to the U.S. six years ago. Such an experience that taught me patience, adaptability, and how to connect with people from all backgrounds. I started babysitting my cousins at age 10 and have loved caring for kids ever since. I'm warm, energetic, and a strong communicator, and children naturally warm up to me. I currently work at an elderly care home, where I've built close, loving relationships with the residents. Caregiving is truly something I'm passionate about at every stage of life. I'd love to bring that same energy and care to your family. Being kind makes me happy

I am a responsible, patient, and trustworthy caregiver with experience caring for children, seniors, and pets. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and reliable environment while adapting to each family’s needs. I have 2 babies of 3 and 6 years old, and I have always taken care of the babies in the family, I am a law professional and I currently work hard to pay for my degree in human rights.

I also have experience caring for elderly adults, offering companionship, daily activity support, medication reminders, and assistance with appointments or outings. I have experience taking care of dogs, cats, birds, reptiles and farm animals. I can provide walks, feeding, playtime, and in-home care while ensuring their safety and well-being. I have flexible daytime availability and can easily adapt to part-time, hourly, or scheduled visits. My priority is to give families peace of mind knowing their loved ones are safe, cared for, and in good hands.

Sharon $30 per hour for 1 child

I've been working with kids for about five years, from infants to school-age, and I adjust naturally depending on their stage and personality. I'm very hands-on and I like having a clear flow to the day so things feel calm and predictable, but still fun. Most days include getting outside (park time whenever possible), making friends along the way, cooking together (and being okay with the super mess), or fully getting into whatever game or story they're excited about. I've worked through everything from diapers and first words to homework and after-school projects, so I know how to shift my approach based on what each child actually needs. One thing I really focus on is making life easier for parents. That means staying on top of routines, communicating clearly, and creating a space where things feel organized, smooth, and reliable, so they can feel confident that everything is taken care of. I'm adaptable, patient, and my goal is for kids to feel comfortable and excited in their day. And learning!

"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)."
