I am fully vaccinated against Covid-19. Please note- I have a 4 hour job minimum! My name is Gabrielle, and I am interested in babysitting for your family. I have over 14 years of experience taking care of newborns, infants, toddlers, elementary school aged children, middle school aged children, preteens, and teenagers. I have provided childcare to over 300 families. I am a reliable, fun, patient, friendly, responsible, and caring babysitter. I have lots of experience babysitting multiple children at a time (up to 5 kids). I have experience feeding newborns, changing diapers, giving and making bottles, cooking meals, getting children ready for bed and putting them in bed, creating exciting games, driving children, and much more. I have great references available upon request. I am CPR and first aid certified for babies through adults by the American Heart Association. I have experience being a summer camp counselor during the summer of 2014, in which I led several games and age appropriate activities for campers. I am a huge fan of the outdoors and do think the outdoors is a great place for discovery and learning, as I enjoy taking kids to playgrounds, museums, libraries, etc in the Bay Area. I am also a fan of music, acting, and arts and crafts. I know of several simple and appropriate art projects for children of all ages and abilities. I do not mind doing light chores such as dishes and laundry. I own a car, and I transport myself to and from jobs. I am able to drive children to and from activities. I have a clean driving record and am fully insured. A little bit about me... I am a San Francisco native. I am a graduate of the University of Nevada and currently working in finance. I hope to fulfill my lifelong dream of working with children for many more years to come. I enjoy watching children grow and mature, as well as creating awesome relationships with families. I have enjoyed babysitting over the years and truly enjoy the opportunity to make a positive impact on a child's life. Thank you so much, and I hope to babysit for your family!

“Ellen has been such a gift to our family and to our son, Mason. She is reliable, communicative, and flexible with scheduling when given notice, and is consistently on time. She has many families that she helps with and is in high demand! She brings a confident and has vast experience caring for kids. She has a warm, faith-centered personality, is funny and down to earth, and takes a true mom helper approach—helping around the house, keeping things tidy, and noticing details like when Mason’s skin need. Her caregiving style is attentive and she teaches children life skills. I really like that she does things for the babies brain development. She offers thoughtful advice from her own experience, and is also open and respectful of our parenting style. We highly recommend Ellen to any family looking for a dependable, loving, and proactive caregiver who will treat their child as her own!”

I am a former preschool teacher and a current nanny with a lot of experience working with young children and all the requirements(CPR and First Aid, TRUSTLINE). I have a degree in Social and Behavioral Sciences. My educational background as preschool teacher is in Infant/Toddler Development which helps me understand how children grow and what to expect at what age. Plus, I am native French speaking (but fluent in English) if you are looking to give your child a bi-lingual education. I also have a car and a clean driving record. I live in Oakland. And last but certainly not least, I absolutely adore children, they keep me young... at heart! That's about all about me. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

"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."
