Elizabeth $27 per hour for 1 child

I am a mother of a three-year-old toddler, and working with children has always been a true passion of mine. From 2023 to 2025, I worked as an after-school program teacher where I managed a classroom of up to 25 children independently. In this role, I gained hands-on experience in leadership, classroom management, and creating a safe, engaging environment for kids to learn and grow. Before becoming an instructor, I was always the go-to family babysitter. I have experience with all ages - from diaper changes and feedings to helping with homework and daily routines. During my time as an after-school teacher, I also worked with children with special needs, where I developed strong skills in patience, problem-solving, de-escalation, and quick thinking in challenging situations. I have completed multiple trainings, including CPR certification, and I hold an Instructional Aide certificate. Overall, caring for children truly brings me joy. I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where every child feels supported and valued

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Alameda, CA

Hi, I’m Shyanne! I’m a dedicated nanny and caregiver with seven years of experience working with children ranging from newborns to teens. I was born and raised in Washington state and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in July 2022 to continue my career in childcare and further my education. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of age groups, including infants, toddlers, school age children, and teens. I truly value creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can grow physically, emotionally, and cognitively. I love planning activities that spark imagination and encourage exploration, whether that’s outdoor play, creative arts and crafts, reading together, or helping with homework. I’m also happy to support families with light cooking, basic tutoring, routines, and age appropriate developmental activities. I am currently a full-time nanny for two wonderful children, ages 2 and 5, and I’m looking to offer additional support on weekends and during early mornings.

Karla $34 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Karla, and I have over 15 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns and infants to toddlers and school-aged children. I’ve worked with families long-term, cared for multiple children at once, and have experience with school drop-offs and pickups, date nights, overnight care, and full-day childcare. I truly love working with children and believe every day is an opportunity to help them learn, grow, and have fun. I enjoy arts and crafts, outdoor activities, reading, games, and encouraging creativity while providing a safe, loving, and structured environment. I strive to build meaningful relationships with the children I care for and treat every family with kindness, patience, and respect. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to prepare healthy meals, cook dinner, help with homework, assist with bedtime routines, keep play areas organized, wash dishes, and clean up after activities so parents can come home to a tidy house. I am CPR certified and have a medical background as a former Pediatric Medical Assistant. I also completed EMT training, which has given me valuable experience in child safety, emergency response, and compassionate care. Beyond childcare, I also provide senior companionship, household assistance and animal care. I’m happy to help with meal preparation, light housekeeping, errands, transportation to appointments, medication reminders, and providing dependable, caring companionship. I currently work with a nonprofit organization helping individuals and families, which has strengthened my communication skills, patience, and commitment to serving others. I take pride in being dependable, trustworthy, organized, and caring. My goal is always to provide families with peace of mind while creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment for their loved ones. I look forward to meeting your family and becoming someone you can trust and rely on. Thank you for considering me!

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
