Marielos 4 reviews
$27 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 5 families in Alameda, CA

Patient, bilingual caregiver with 5+ years of childcare experience, including infants under 1, toddlers, and school-age children. I currently work full-time as a Family Ambassador for charter schools in SF and am seeking occasional or part-time babysitting in the evenings and on weekends. I’ve worked with SFUSD, after-school programs, and ABA services, and I’m CPR certified. Families describe me as caring, dependable, and creative. I especially love working with infants under 1, and I enjoy engaging kids through reading, play, and outdoor activities. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, tutoring (in any subject and in Spanish), and bedtime routines. Pet-friendly and reliable, I’d love the chance to support your family and provide safe, fun, and enriching care for your little ones.

“Marieolos was wonderful and spent all night with my friend's newborn so they could get some rest. She was amazing with the baby. We will definitely use her again!!!”

Wren 2 reviews
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Wren I've been caregiving for pets, kiddos, people with social needs, and seniors my whole life! I started petsitting when I was 8 years old, and nannying when I was 11. I worked with seniors with dementia while in school to get my degree in social work, and worked as a full time social worker for years until I realized I prefer a varied schedule and hands on caregiving. I am very artistic and creative and love doing art with kids or special needs adults. I also love organizing and interior design to help make a space work for a persons individual needs. Thank you for considering me!

“Wren has done a great job sitting for my two cats. I have one indoor and one outdoor and I always feel at ease leaving them in Wren's care. The cats have grown to love Wren, as well! I definitely recommend Wren as a reliable, thoughtful sitter.”

Zaineb 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Alameda, CA

Hello! I am Zaineb and currently a school based social worker. I am offering child care, pet care as well as household services. Ever since I was young, I have loved caring for children whether it was a sibling, older cousin or friend. I have been an educator in the public school system for the last 6 years working with kids from as little as kindergarten to seniors in high school. I enjoy playing games, doing crafts and most importantly, getting to know kids and their interests and hobbies. As a babysitter in the past, I have been responsible for after-school care, cooking meals and putting kids to bed. I am also happy to help out with household tasks like cooking, cleaning and running errands. I can also pet sit; I grew up caring for my family’s cat and currently live with 2 cats. I don’t have a lot of experience caring for other animals but am willing to learn!

"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."
