Hi my name is Debb!! and I am 28 years old with a true passion for caregiving and supporting families. I find it deeply rewarding to be a helping hand to those who need it most, and I view every opportunity as a way to put my skills, compassion, and dedication into practice. I am a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) with a current BLS certification and over 8 years of hands-on experience working with patients. My goal is always to build trust with all family members, ensuring they feel cared for, respected, and valued. I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and cautious in following caregiver protocols, while also being quick to learn new procedures. Flexibility is one of my strengths, and I am available to step in as needed and adapt to changing schedules. In addition to my healthcare background, I also have experience as a babysitter and youth mentor!. I’ve worked with children in church worship groups, served as a chaperone on field trips, and created safe, nurturing environments where children feel supported and engaged. I am patient, loving, and a great listener, always striving to meet both the needs of parents and children. With my combined experience as a caregiver, Cna , and babysitter, I believe I would be an excellent fit for your family’s needs. My mission is not only to provide quality care but also to be a trusted friend who ensures your loved ones feel safe, supported, and cared for at all times. I also love animals! And have cats and dogs of my own so I know how important they are to the family. I can also help out with pet needs as well I also have my own car and can drive your kids to anywhere they need to be taken. I am a responsible driver and have experience of driving around people to where they need to be. I do it all the time. Rest assured I am a careful driver. I can also stay over night as well if you need someone to watch over your children. Let’s work together and make your lives easier! :)

Very punctual and professional. Patient with my kid.

Hello, Parents! I’m a student locally at Foothill College, and a native to Mountain View, CA. I have two younger siblings which have contributed lots to my experience with children and also a few regular families who I babysit for from time to time from Stevenson elementary! I love hanging out with kids especially in the outdoors, outside play time, walks, bike rides, exploring parks, local museums, if it’s a kid friendly and fun place - I’m there! I am open to any age group, as I’ve had experience with it all. Time goes by when you’re having fun which is why I love picking up any babysitting jobs that come my way, because as a college student it’s a win win for me when it doesn’t even feel like work. I’m patient, nurturing, creative, responsible, bilingual(spanish), and fun to hangout with (can be fact checked by some previous kiddos I’ve cared for:) ). If you have any further questions feel free to ask!

Booked by 1 family in Santa Clara, CA

Hi, my name is Vivi and I have been an after school teacher for over five years, working primarily with elementary aged children. I currently work with a Palo Alto based program that provides structured and professional after school care. I bring that same level of structure and consistency into the home by supporting children after a full school day with homework help, emotional regulation, and calm routines that help evenings run more smoothly. My approach works especially well for elementary age children and older toddlers who benefit from guidance, predictability, and positive reinforcement. I have child development units and a strong understanding of age appropriate behavior, transitions, and social emotional development. I am CPR certified and comfortable responding calmly in emergency situations. I value clear communication, reliability, and building trust with families, and I enjoy working with parents who appreciate professional after school support in a home setting. I also have experience in the ABA field, managing behaviors as well as running targets to match client’s needs. I am currently working on earning my RBT.

I cannot recommend ViVi highly enough. As a single mom, finding someone you trust with your children is incredibly important, but finding someone who genuinely loves them and invests in their happiness is a rare gift. ViVi has truly become a part of our extended family. From day one, her warmth put me at ease, but it was the way she connected with my kids that really stood out. She doesn't just "watch" them; she engages them with such incredible creativity. Whether they are building elaborate forts, creating art projects, or inventing new games in the living Tim, she brings a sense of magic and fun that my kids absolutely adore. They don't just ask when she's coming over—they count down the days. Knowing my children are safe, loved, and having the time of their lives allows me to focus on work or take time for myself without a shred of guilt. She has earned a very special place in their hearts, and mine. If you are looking for someone who is reliable, kind, and deeply caring, look no further.

Booked by 2 families in Santa Clara, CA

Hi - My name is Khin. I am offering child care, senior care and household services. I love being babysitter, driving to/from school, and helping homework tutoring. I also work as household assistant, can cook, clean, folding clothes and run errands. I have been caretaker for my own grand parents and comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to the appointment or do other tasks. Kindly reach me[removed].

Khin was so responsive, and got back to us right away when we reached out for last-minute emergency babysitting services for our toddler, who was too sick to send to daycare. She was detail-oriented, punctual, and kept our toddler entertained and happy.

"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)."
