Belinda $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello Santa Clara Families Caring for seniors isn't easy. Often, they are more fragile than they realize themselves. I worked as a Personal Care Assistant for eights years in assisted living and private homes. I do transfers, daily hygiene, housekeeping, and cooking. I'm not afraid of work and would rather get it done and then sit and chat. I'm a good listener. I'm sort of a fuddy-duddy home type and I like to make things look nice. I would like a situation where my caregiving means something good for someone. Please let me know how I may help.

Hi! My name is Alice. I am an experienced family daycare provider and babysitter based in the Bay Area, with years of hands-on experience caring for infants and toddlers. I currently run a licensed-style family daycare, where I care for children ages 0一4 on a daily basis. I am very familiar with infant and toddler routines, including feeding, diaper changes, nap schedules, and emotional soothing. I believe in providing a calm, safe, and nurturing environment. I enjoy engaging children through age-appropriate activities such as reading, singing, sensory play, and creative activities that support early development. I am reliable, patient, and detail-oriented, and I value clear communication with parents. I am available for occasional babysitting, daytime care, weekends, and infant care. I would love to support your family and provide attentive, high-quality care for your child. 📌 Additional Information 1️⃣Communication: I primarily communicate in Mandarin and am comfortable with basic, everyday English for daily updates and coordination. 2️⃣Care Location: I provide care at my licensed-style home daycare. Children are dropped off at my daycare, and I am unable to provide in-home care. 3️⃣Daily Updates: I provide regular updates throughout the day, including messages, photos, and short videos.

“Alice is kind, patient, and very reliable. Our baby loves her, and we always feel at ease knowing our child is in great hands. Highly recommend!”

Hi I’m Amra, I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I first babysat when I was around 9 years old, so 11 years ago! I have experience with kids aged 2 and up and that’s what I’m most comfortable working with. I love arts and crafts, sports, tutoring, and video games. I have two cats and one dog so I’m perfectly comfortable with any pet, I can walk, feed, and play with your pets. I can also do household services like light cooking and cleaning, running errands, laundry, and organizing.

Hi! I'm a college student with several years of experience working with children of all ages. This summer, I worked as a site assistant and a teacher with Destination Science, where I led fun, hands-on STEM activities while ensuring every child felt safe, included, and engaged. I've also worked as a babysitter and day camp counselor at the MJCC, supervising children, organizing games and crafts, helping with meals, and creating a positive environment. During high school, I taught at a dance clinic, which strengthened my leadership, communication, and patience while working with young children. I'm responsible, dependable, and energetic, and I genuinely enjoy helping kids learn, grow, and have fun. Whether it's keeping children entertained, assisting with homework, preparing simple meals, or helping with bedtime routines, I'm committed to providing families with reliable and attentive care.

"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)."
