Hello! My name is Adriana, I was born and raised in the Bay Area. I’m currently a student at chabot college. I have my associates in biological science and plan on going to nursing school in the future. I’ve had many years of experience with children and have worked with many different families. I have reliable transportation and I am comfortable driving in my own car or others. I have my Covid vaccine with booster. I don’t have much experience on UrbanSitter but I’ve had plenty of experience outside of it. If you have any questions please feel free to write a message! 😊
Hi! I’m Kailiti and I am a preschool teacher! I graduated from Stanford University in 2025, where I studied linguistics and education. I’m offering childcare and household services. Working with children brings me a lot of joy and I’ve been in childcare and education jobs for the past nine years, including as a science teacher in schools, a summer camp counselor, and of course as a babysitter! I am comfortable working with children ages 2mo-12yrs and I also have experience working with children with high support needs, including children with autism and neurodevelopmental disabilities. I love to facilitate imaginary play and outdoor activities as well as arts and crafts, and I am also happy to help with homework! I also cook, clean, do laundry, and can run errands. If needed, I can drive for dropoffs/pickups. I am also a nationally registered Emergency Medical Technician!
Hi! My name is Jolina and I’m currently a freshman at USFCA. I’m offering childcare and pet care services! In high school, I worked as a tutor, helping students with their schoolwork and making learning more enjoyable. I also have experience helping supervise and care for children at a kindergarten. I’m happy to help with homework, play games, do arts and crafts, and keep kids entertained throughout the day. I also grew up helping care for my cat until I was 16, so I’ve had plenty of experience looking after pets! I’m a patient, caring, and responsible person who enjoys helping others. I’m also happy to lend a hand with light household tasks when needed. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and help make your day a little easier!
As a certified teacher with a decade of childcare experience, I'm passionate about nurturing children's growth. My calm and creative personality helps me engage children in educational and fun activities. I keep parents updated on their child's day through written reports and use their preferred communication method. I'm comfortable following the household rules set by the parents and have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. I'm also fluent in English and Portuguese. Adding to all, I am certified for First Aid and Child Nutrition and Cooking. By now, my priority is to keep the kids safe while nurturing a playful environment where they can develop their set of skills and personality. I`m fully vaccinated. I believe in supporting families and providing reliable care. It brings me joy to see the positive impact I have on children's lives. I would be thrilled to be a part of your family and look forward to getting to know you and your children.
Hello! My name is Moa. I have 6+ years of professional childcare experience. I am completely comfortable working with children, from infants to teenagers. I work part time as an instructional aide, so I'm primarily available in the afternoons/evenings and weekends. I enjoy my job because I love working with children! I am first aid and CPR certified.

"Caitlin was awesome and jumped right in to chaperone four girls (10, 9, 8 and 6) at a family wedding (they were bridesmaids) and she was very helpful with the event as well as taking them home and putting them to bed."
Lila P., parent

"McKenna was great with our 3 year old son! She came prepared with a box of fun activities and handled playing, dinner, and bedtime seamlessly... and it was all at our hotel while we were in town for a wedding. Thank you McKenna!"
