Hi! My name is Thaina, and I am currently entering my last semester at California Polytechnic State University, where I am studying Architecture. I am seeking a weekly and occasional babysitting job for the upcoming year. I have over ten years of experience working with children, beginning by caring for my younger siblings. I later expanded my experience by tutoring at weekend schools and college. Most recently, I have focused on babysitting elementary and middle school-aged children. Being the oldest sibling, I have always been surrounded by kids and genuinely love their sweet innocence and fun energy. I am naturally energetic and committed to ensuring your children have a memorable and enjoyable experience! If the weather is nice, I would love to take the kids to the park or participate in outdoor activities. If we need to stay indoors, I can bring out my arts and crafts supplies to create fun projects together. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, reading, and painting. I look forward to the opportunity of working with your family!

“Very kind, on time, great with kids!”

Hi! I’m Roxy. I started babysitting almost 15 years ago and have since worked as a nanny/babysitter and in education, from working in classrooms and private tutoring to developing an SEL curriculum for elementary school-aged girls. In this time, I’ve worked with children of all ages and have really enjoyed getting to know the different milestones, interests, and needs that come with each age. I really enjoy getting to know each child and finding ways to keep them engaged while supporting their development. Depending on age, some of my favorite ways to spend time with kids are getting outside, reading together, doing art projects, baking, and finding activities that match their interests. With babies and young toddlers, I especially enjoy paying attention to what they’re learning at each stage and finding fun, age-appropriate ways to support their development, encourage their growing independence and communication skills, and keep them interested and learning as they grow. I believe in helping children develop curiosity, compassion, independence, and social awareness from a young age by giving them space to express themselves and explore the world around them, while also helping them learn to understand and regulate big feelings and navigate relationships with others. I have a bachelor’s degree and speak some Spanish and a little Arabic. I’m also infant and pediatric CPR/first aid certified, comfortable with pets, and have a clean driving record. I’m happy to provide references from families I’ve previously worked for. I’m ideally looking for full-time or near-full-time work with a baby or toddler who isn’t in school yet, but I’m also open to part-time care, nanny shares, and one-time babysitting when my schedule allows. Looking forward to meeting you and your little ones!

Hi! I’ve got over 14 years of experience as a nanny/babysitter. I love to be active, get outside and creative with kids! I’m a big fan of walks and park play dates! I have a lot of experience with children of all ages. The most recent family I worked with regularly has three children; a five-year-old, a 22-month-old and a three-year-old. I was with them from the birth of the youngest and was also their nanny when they welcomed their third. I lived and traveled with them. I have stayed in touch with many other families I have babysat for over the years and still work with them (date nights, events, etc). Please feel free to contact me whenever you feel if you are interested. I look forward to hearing from you. Best, Rhylie

“Thakur was great! responsible and personable - toddler took to her right away and they had a great time at the park! will hire again!”

Hello my name is Christine but most people call me Chrissy. Prior to babysitting I was a pre-k 3 teacher and I currently work with two on a weekly /as needed basis . I’m looking to assist families in a less institutionalized setting when the time permits.I love teaching and working with children has always been second natural for me . I have experience with infants-12 year olds and children on the spectrum. I also have experience with assisting children to cope with anxiety and/or behavioral patterns. I am CPR / first aid certified and I am also certified to use and administer epinephrine auto injectors. Aside from babysitting I enjoy DIY projects, traveling and learning new things. I’m bilingual, (English/Spanish) and I’m currently learning ASL. I’m a true believer that it takes a village to raise a child and as someone who doesn’t have children I’ve always done my best to help when I can!

“Christine was absolutely amazing! My children enjoyed their time with her. She was kind, punctual, and attentive to their needs. We look forward to having her back! ”

"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)."
