Booked by 2 families in San Jose, CA

Hi, my name is Amy, I’m a mom to a 8 month old and I have been working with children professionally for the past 3 years. Through past work with a babysitting agency, I gained valuable experience working with a variety of age groups and family dynamics. I am very comfortable engaging with children, from newborns to toddlers and even teens! Whether you’re going out for date night, running errands or simply need some time to decompress, I’m here to provide reliable and engaging care for your family! I don’t have any professional experience providing household services, but I take direction well. I’m very open to constructive feedback. My goal is to make sure things are done to your specifications every time. I am comfortable working in homes with pets! Will renew CPR/ First Aid certification upon request *My child will not be present with me while providing any services*

“Amy was great with our child. She was patient, attentive, and very accommodating throughout the time she spent with him. She kept him engaged with activities, and by the end he didn’t want her to leave—which says a lot! We would definitely be happy to have Amy babysit for us again.”

Booked by 5 families in San Jose, CA

Hello, my name is Liliana (or Lily)! I was born and raised in San Jose and am excited to be working as a nanny with local families while completing my master’s degree in counseling psychology at SCU! I have been working as a nanny since fall of 2025, and have had the pleasure of caring for children ranging from 1 to 13 years old. I really admire children's curiosity, creativity, and intelligence, and I find so much fulfillment in watching them grow! I am currently available for occasional and one-time evening jobs. Relevant education and certifications: - Undergraduate courses in child development. - Pediatric CPR/AED certified by the Red Cross. - Valid CA driver's license. About me: - I am an avid reader and have a deep appreciation for children's literature! Some of my childhood favorites include "Arnie the Doughnut" and "Sarah, Plain and Tall." - I love cooking and baking, and am a big proponent of involving kids in the kitchen – it teaches life skills, supports mathematical and scientific development, and is a great vehicle for creativity! - I grew up participating in dance and theatre, and still still take ballet classes in my spare time! I also love fostering creative expression in kids, whether it be music, dance, drawing, or imaginative play! ________ My policies: - Booking: I ask that all new families book me through Urban Sitter. Families looking for long-term care can schedule recurring services off-site, so long as the first booking is made through Urban Sitter. I also encourage families to message me before booking to confirm my availability. - Daily minimum hours: I work a consecutive two-hour minimum, and generally only accept jobs that meet this requirement. In the event that a family books me for a shorter period of time, they can expect to pay for a minimum of two hours, even if they only need me for one. - Cancellation policy: I ask that any scheduling changes be communicated as early as possible, and I will share any scheduling conflicts ASAP (usually 4+ weeks in advance). I do not charge for canceled bookings unless I am given less than 24 hours notice, at which point I will charge 50% of the total original booking cost. - Mileage: I have my own car, and am happy to offer driving services to families. Because not all jobs require driving, I do not factor it into my hourly rate. Instead, if a family requires driving, I will charge a reimbursement of 76 cents per mile.
