Merlot $40 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Alameda, CA

Hi! I’m a UC Berkeley psychology student who genuinely loves working with kids. I’ve been tutoring students since fifth grade and have spent years caring for my younger cousin (now 7) and her friends. I currently serve as a National Next Gen Advisor for NAMI and as a UCLA Family Advisory Board Member, where I’ve had the opportunity to advocate for children, teens, and families. Those experiences have taught me the importance of patience, communication, and helping every child feel seen, heard, and supported. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, have a valid driver’s license, and am a non-smoker. I’m happy to help with homework, meal prep, bedtime routines, pets, and anything else that helps make your day a little easier. One thing that’s really important to me is being present. I believe some of the best parts of childhood happen when we’re reading books, baking cookies, building forts, playing outside, doing crafts, making up silly games, or simply talking about our day. While I’m always happy to follow your family’s routines, I try to keep screen time to a minimum because I’d much rather spend that time making memories, encouraging curiosity, and helping kids build confidence. More than anything, I hope to be someone your children feel excited to see and someone you feel completely comfortable trusting with the people who matter most to you. I speak English, Spanish, and Farsi. I am open to learning more languages and find it important to celebrate cultures and learn more about them. Looking forward to connecting :)

Olevia $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi prospective families! My name is Olevia, and I’ve been a nanny for nearly five years. I have experience with children ranging from infancy to high school, though most of my background is with infants and toddlers. I graduated from the University of Arizona with my Bachelor of Science in Public Health and have recently been accepted into graduate school, where I will be pursuing my Master of Public Health in Health Policy. I am currently a nanny for a sweet 21-month-old boy, whom I’ve been with since he was 10 months old. This is the third family I’ve had the pleasure of working with through UrbanSitter. I’m now looking to pick up additional babysitting hours as I prepare to begin graduate school and continue supporting myself through my education. I’m originally from Oakland and grew up throughout the Bay Area. I began working in childcare during college, nannying and tutoring through local agencies. During summers, I worked as a camp counselor at my former elementary and middle school, averaging 35 hours a week. In addition to my professional experience, I’ve also helped my sister care for her now 4-month-old daughter since birth while her husband is deployed in the Air Force. I grew up playing competitive sports, primarily basketball, and I value staying active. I enjoy getting kids outside, going on walks, and planning age-appropriate activities that keep them engaged. I also love cooking and am happy to help with meal prep for children and families. I pride myself on being reliable, patient, and attentive, and I aim to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for every child I care for. I look forward to connecting with your family!

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"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."
