Hello! My name is Catherine, and I’m so excited to be here! I’ve been a childcare, senior care, and pet care provider for over a decade, and I believe that a caregiver is most effective when they act as a partner to the family, which is why I see us as a team in supporting your family member/s in good communication, attentiveness, and safety. Although I do not have as many reviews as others, as I am new to UrbanSitter, I am not new to caregiving, and I am qualified. I invite you to have a meet & greet, either by phone, text, virtual, or in-person, to see if I fit your agenda. *My approach is rooted in positivity, kindness, trustworthiness, and a calm demeanor, thereby creating an atmosphere of awareness and a safe space. *Lastly, I am happy to transport (excellent driving record), do errands, light housework, laundry, prepare meals/snacks, activities, and tutor homework. Experience: Day Care Center-11 years Independent Caregiver/Baby Sitter-8 years Tutor Online-7 years (Reading/English/Writing) Psychology Degree-Online Counselor/Coach for Couples & Self-improvement CPR Certified *Baby Sitting, Childcare, Tutor, Pet Care, Special Needs Children.

“Catherine is one of those rare people you can always count on. She’s trustworthy, gentle, genuinely kind-hearted and her reliability gives such peace of mind as a babysitter. I would never hesitate to hire her or recommend her.”

Hi, I’m Sonia I have a Bachelor’s degree in Child and Adolescent Development with a focus on Elementary Teaching at San Francisco State University. I’ve been working toward a career in education for over five years, and I truly enjoy supporting children as they learn and grow. I have strong hands-on experience working with infants and young children, and I’m especially confident in caring for babies and supporting their early development. I’ve worked as a lead teacher in an infant classroom, where I was responsible for maintaining routines, supporting feeding and diapering, soothing, and creating a calm, safe, and nurturing environment. Along with my infant experience, I’ve also worked with children up to age five and as a substitute teacher in a variety of classroom settings, which has helped me adapt to different needs and personalities. In my current role as a teacher, I create engaging and supportive environments where children feel comfortable exploring and learning. I enjoy activities like sensory play, reading, music, and simple crafts that support early development in a fun and meaningful way. I value clear communication with families and believe every child deserves patience, attention, and care. I’m also fluent in Spanish, which allows me to connect with a wider range of families. Outside of work, I love spending time with animals and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes.

Hello! If you’re looking for someone who is fun, energetic, loves to laugh, and will make sure your child is cared for in a positive way-you’ve found the right sitter! I promise to make your child’s days filled with memories to cherish. I provide activities like board games, arts & crafts, story times, and more. I have 8+ years of experience, reliable safe transportation, and can promise you your child is in the best care when they are under my care as a sitter. Also very comfortable with pets, I have 3 cats of my own. I look forward to meeting your little!

“Courtney took care of my two children for two full weeks while I was away on vacation, and I genuinely cannot say enough good things about her. Leaving your kids for that long is never easy, but she made the entire experience completely stress-free. From day one, she was attentive, patient, and incredibly organized. She kept the kids on their routines, made sure they were engaged and happy, and handled everything with such calm confidence. I always felt informed and reassured, she communicated regularly, sent updates, and truly went above and beyond to make sure my kids felt safe, supported, and loved. When I came home, my children were not only well cared for, but genuinely happy and thriving. That says everything. Courtney is responsible, trustworthy, warm, and incredibly capable. Any family would be lucky to have her. I would 100% trust her again without hesitation, she is truly exceptional.”
