Ashley $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ashley. I’m a caring and reliable sitter with lots of hands-on experience, both as a mom and working with children of different ages. Being a parent myself, I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your kids. I follow a gentle parenting approach and focus on creating a safe, calm, and positive environment where children feel comfortable, respected, and free to be themselves. I love engaging with kids through play, learning activities, and everyday routines. I’m very hands-on and intuitive, so I’m happy to jump right in and help without needing a lot of direction. Whether it’s caring for your little one, helping with child-related chores, or just making your day a little easier, I’ve got you covered. I also have strong references available and would love the chance to support your family!

Valerie $35 per hour for 1 child

I am currently studying child and adolescent development and I have over 3 years of experience working with children professionally. My favorite thing about working with kids is the mutual learning that occurs! I love to find ways to connect through activities based on a child’s interest, whether it be baking, arts and crafts, enjoying nature or physical activity, i love to be involved! I think kids deserve to be heard, and to make decisions for themselves with guided options to choose from. I think freedom of expression and identity is incredibly essential to a young child or adolescence development and I am a number one fan of children taking the lead, and showing us how to show up better to suit their needs and talents as well! Important things to note: -I am allergic to pets, both cats and dogs so cannot work inside of homes with animals -I do not have a car but I have a drivers license and a sparkling clean driving record, and still drive often! -I am CPR and first aid certified -I am a full time student studying sociology and child and adolescent development and completing a social work and human services certification

Aurora $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi ! My name is Aurora and I currently work as a ParaEducator and an After School teacher for an Oakland Middle School. I have been working with kids for about 6 years now, not including my volunteer work for OUSD. I am 25 years old, born and raised here in Oakland. I love working with children and what I have learned working with youth is the impact one can have on them. I have learned that children need a patient and understanding adult so they can succeed and thrive. Also, I get to learn a lot from kids! Every child is different and I love to learn from them. Outside of work, I like to spend the evenings with my dog and take him to the park or on walks. I'm fluent in English and Spanish and do my best to create a warm and safe environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for. I am very flexible with hours! I work Monday-Friday from 8a.m-6 p.m. Feel free to reach out and we can work a time out!

Seraphina $25 per hour for 1 child

hi! my name is Seraphina, I'm an artist and caregiver. I have a deep love for early childhood education, and learning each child's unique personality and forms of expression. My background started as a k-5 Arts Educator at several afterschool programs, which I've done for the past four years in San Francisco. Ive taught a range of mediums including sewing, fiber arts, painting, clay and ecological art. I've also taken these skills and lead enrichment programs for kindergarteners at Malcom X Acadamy. In the past 2 years Ive been working part time at a preschool called Ducks Nest in Oakland with children from the ages of 2-5. Nannying, babysitting, and teaching are all experiences I've integrated into my childcare work the past 5 years and beyond. It is an honor to contribute to the care and support of any child's life, and I'm excited to continue to do so in my career. I also have experience with children and adults with disabilities. Both of my parents have worked in these fields and are social workers. This has been a big part of my upbringing. Overall, Im a calm, patient and compassion person with abundant creative practices that I love to connect with children through. I have a lot of excitement for their processes and want to support their curiousities and play. I also want to lighten the load of any parents/families in need, and to be of service in the areas that are most valuable.

"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."
