$27 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone! My name is Anne and I graduated from Oregon State University in 2021 with a Bioengineering degree and working in biotech! I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I am new to UrbanSitter but would love to begin working consistently full time or part time :) I’m available any time any day! I can also provide external references if necessary. I’ve worked as a teacher assistant at a daycare and also been a nanny / babysitter for younger kids. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. As for animals, I love love love love them and would love to help take care of your furry friends!

“Anne is amazing! She helped with my 9 year old and 12 year old with afternoon jobs as well as occasional evenings, including driving my daughter to soccer practices all over Marin. She is reliable, bright, kind and has a lot of fun with kids. We would absolutely hire Anne again and recommend her while-heartedly.”

Booked by 1 family in Alameda, CA

Hi! I’m Mara, 26 years old, an experienced and passionate nanny. With a background in Early Childhood Education, I bring warmth, structure, and creativity to each child’s daily routine. I have hands-on experience caring for infants and toddlers, providing nurturing support with feeding, burping, soothing, naps, tummy time, and sensory play. I love going on walks, visiting the library, reading books, and supporting early developmental milestones through play. With older children, I enjoy creating fun and meaningful experiences through games, dancing, storytelling, puzzles, and outings to parks, museums, and libraries. I focus on creating a safe, loving, and stimulating environment where children feel secure, seen, and encouraged to grow. In addition to childcare, I also offer pet sitting services. I have experience caring for cats and dogs and truly enjoy spending time with animals.

“Mara is fantastic! She is punctual, responsible, and very kind. She connects easily with our 5-year-old and keeps him engaged with fun activities while ensuring he is safe and well cared for. We truly appreciate her positive energy and would gladly recommend her to other families.”

"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."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
