Hi! My name is Yabi and I am an MA Development Studies student based in Germany but back in the US for a while to work on my thesis. I love children and have worked with them throughout my life. Growing up in Ethiopia, I volunteered at multiple orphanages, taught English at schools and babysat for family friends. I moved to Denver, Colorado in June 2013 where I continued to babysit for family friends, then moved to San Francisco, where I worked regularly on UrbanSitter for almost four years while completing my BA. In my free time, I enjoy books, travel, badminton, languages, and going on walks near the water. I am passionate about education and am currently studying to earn my TEFL certificate. I also have a BA in International Studies with minors in African Studies and Politics. Additionally, I am fluent in English and Amharic; I have limited working proficiency in German; I can read and write in Arabic; and I am currently learning Mandarin. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Yabi is great!

Hi,My name is Yolanda. I have 8 years child care experience and have worked with kids ages 0-16 years of age.I am First aid and CPR certified. I am fully vaccinated too. I have hands on experience caring for newborns, including feeding, burping, changing diapers, and establishing sleep routines. I’m comfortable preparing bottles, sterilizing equipment, and keeping detailed logs for parents. I also focus on providing a safe, nurturing environment and supporting early development through tummy time and gentle interaction. I’m skilled in recognizing cues for hunger, tiredness, or discomfort and responding quickly with care. Beyond basic needs, I enjoy bonding with babies through gentle play, singing, and reading. My experience with toddlers and children includes guiding them through daily routines, from meals and naps to bath and bedtime. I enjoy planning fun, interactive activities that encourage learning, such as puzzles, sensory play, pretend play, taking walks, the park and reading. I also help with homework and school readiness for older kids. I’m patient, creative, and committed to providing a caring environment that helps children feel secure and grow with confidence. What I love most about Taking care of Kids is that, that’s the only time I can get to be a kid and I believe kids give me new and positive energy everyday. Taking care of kids is the best way to spend my days because kids are pretty awesome, Tiny little humans who are honest, funny, affectionate and help you get out of your head for a while. Taking care of kids gives me more reason to relive my childhood days because In that way I can get to indulge in movies,books and games I loved as a kid growing up and it gives me more practice to prepare myself for handling my own kids someday. I love what I do and perform this job with great dedication, commitment and ambition. I know how important it is to provide kids with individual attention therefore I am happy to spend that time with them. The safety and well being of the kids are my priority and my highest bid. In my spare time I love to read, write, bake, cook, hike, and play sports (Field hockey, swim and volleyball). Taking care of kids is not easy but it is definitely a great experience to share with them. I promise your kids will be in safe hands and have a ton of fun. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you for considering my application.

Yolanda was very professional and communicative on top of doing a great cleaning job. She paid attention to the little details and made sure everything was up to her high standard of care.

Booked by 9 families in Ft Myer, VA

Hello, I'm Sharonda! I recently began a doctoral program studying curriculum and instruction. I have a Master of Arts in Teaching English from Trinity Washington University, and love enriching literacy activities that engage learners in a variety of ways. I've tutored, taught, and volunteered with elementary and secondary aged children, locally and internationally, for the past 9 years. I love providing childcare because I find interacting with children to be joyous and rewarding. Children are adventurous, have a great sense of humor, and bring many opportunities for learning and exploration because of their curiosity. As one who is passionate about education, building healthy connections with children is an essential practice. In my spare time, I love creative writing (short stories, essays, and poetry), reading (especially in libraries, boutique bookstores), crafting (jewelry making, drawing/coloring, and DIY projects), spending time outdoors, and occasionally watching television programs about travel and nature (I'm also a Marvel fan). If there is any additional information you'd like to receive, please don't hesitate to request it.

Sharonda was a wonderful caretaker for my toddler! Incredibly easy to communicate with and she helped my toddler get to bed, even when she’s going through a difficult sleep time. She provided awesome updates of hanging out with my daughter. I look forward to having Sharonda around again!

Hello I am Victoria. Thank you for checking out my profile. I’m a dedicated babysitter with over 12 years of experience caring for children of all ages. I began babysitting at 16, looking after my younger siblings and families in my community. Known for being patient, loving, and attentive, I’m experienced in overnight care, driving kids to activities, and creating a safe, nurturing environment. I hold a degree in finance and have previously worked at the World Bank. While I’m transitioning into my next career move, I’m focusing on what I love—working with children and providing exceptional care. I come with excellent recommendations and a proven track record of trust and reliability. I am fluent in both French and English. I know I’m too good to be true so here is my BUT… I am allergic and scared to death of pets. It’s very irrational and silly but thats my only downside haha. Please feel free to ask me any information that you need and if you think I'm a good fit for your family I would be more than happy to talk to you.

"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)."
