Hi I’m Jhenae! I’m a college student available for one-time or part time work during July-August 2026! I absolutely love working with children! For the past 6 years, I have cared for infants, toddlers, and youth! From part-time babysitting positions, to working summer camps, and volunteer work with children! Families would describe me as caring, responsible, and very attentive. I always prioritize children’s needs while making sure they are having fun! (Away from the technology, of course!) In addition, I have a license and my own car! I am willing to safely drive your children upon request! I am also experienced in caring for pets so I’m willing to help in any way possible! Feel free to reach out to me with any questions!

“Jhenae was awesome! She was kind, punctual, and my little guy loved playing with her! Looking forward to booking her again!”

Hi families! I’m Diamond, a proud Bay Area native and someone who has always had a natural love for caring for children. While I currently work in the legal field, caring for children has remained a meaningful part of my life for over 15 years, and it’s something I genuinely look forward to doing in my evenings and weekends. My experience with children started at a young age as a babysitter and grew into working for daycares and becoming a personal nanny for several wonderful families while I was in college. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to care for children from newborns all the way through their teenage years, and I truly enjoy getting to know each child and learning what makes them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. Since 2019, I’ve also had the privilege of serving as a Special Court Advocate (CASA) for abused and neglected foster youth in the San Francisco Bay Area. Being a CASA has strengthened my passion for advocating for children and has taught me the importance of patience, compassion, consistency, and creating a safe space where children feel heard and valued. One of my favorite things about childcare is watching children grow and being someone they can feel comfortable around. In fact, many of the children I’ve cared for over the years have become like family to me. I don’t take that trust lightly. I believe in treating every child the way I would want my own children to be treated—with kindness, patience, respect, and genuine care. I also understand that every family is different. I’m happy to follow the routines and guidelines that are important to you, whether that means sticking to a bedtime routine, limiting screen time, accommodating dietary restrictions or allergies, helping with homework, or simply making sure your little one has a fun and engaging evening. My goal is for parents to feel completely comfortable and confident when they leave their children in my care. You shouldn’t have to wonder if your children are safe, happy, or being well cared for; I want you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I would love the opportunity to become a trusted part of your family’s support system and, most importantly, to make sure your little ones feel safe, seen, and cared for while you’re away. ❤️

Booked by 4 families in Castro Valley, CA

*at this time I am not accepting new families but will update if that changes!* Hi there, my name is Eva and I am 27 years old. I first graduated from college in 2021, where I obtained my degree in political science, and have completed my second degree in psychology. I have always enjoyed and excelled at working with children. For two years, I have worked with children aged infant to Kindergarten in a daycare setting and am a fully qualified childcare teacher in the state of California. Most of my time is spent with the toddler (12 to 23 months) age group, but I have experience in classrooms with children up to age 6. Additionally, I have about 4 years of volunteer experience with preschool and lower elementary aged children in both a formal and summer camp setting. I have worked with families both on and off Urban Sitter for 3 years, with children ranging in age from 1 to 10 years old. The opportunity to impart knowledge and bring joy to children, or even be a playmate, is a rewarding experience - I believe children can be our teachers too. I understand how crucial it is that you feel comfortable with the person taking care of your children - and I would be happy to speak further, answer any questions, or tell you more about myself.

“I can’t say enough good things about Eva. She’s been my two-year-old’s teacher since he was just one, so we’ve known her for about 18 months now. Over that time, she’s been super reliable, caring, and just really great with kids. She has also baby sat my son individually at our house, and helped with his laundry, dishes and food. He loves his one on one time with her. She has an awesome way of connecting with little ones by talking to them at their level and really getting where they’re at. She also brings in fun, helpful developmental activities that have been great for our child’s growth. Eva has truly become part of our support network. We trust her with our eyes closed and always feel completely comfortable leaving our child in her care. Any family would be so lucky to have her.”

Booked by 1 family in Castro Valley, CA

My name is Rocio. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and have over 15 years of experience working with children of all ages. I am CPR, First Aid, and AED certified and can provide excellent references upon request. Caring for children has always been my passion. Throughout my career, I have worked in both professional educational settings and as a nanny, helping children grow, learn, and feel safe and supported. I pride myself on building strong, trusting relationships with children and their families. Many of the children I have cared for have remained an important part of my life, and I am honored by the bonds we have created over the years. Families describe me as nurturing, reliable, patient, energetic, and highly engaging. I love creating fun, meaningful experiences for children while also providing structure, consistency, and encouragement. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning activities, exploring outdoors, or simply being a trusted adult in a child’s life, I genuinely love what I do. In my free time, I enjoy hiking with my dog, spending time with family, and being outdoors. I am outgoing, cheerful, and bring positive energy wherever I go.

“Our kids ask Rocio to come back every day. That tells one a lot - kids are picky (at least mine 3&5 year old)”
