Booked by 31 families in Alameda, CA

Hello! My name is Daujae or (Deedee). I am a compassionate and reliable childcare provider with extensive experience caring for children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. While in college, I worked as a nanny for two families in Atlanta, where I cared for both a newborn and a set of twins. In addition, I gained valuable experience leading activities and supervising children as a camp counselor in 2021. I enjoy engaging children in fun, interactive, and enriching activities that support their development. I am also happy to assist with schoolwork, provide companionship, and ensure a safe and nurturing environment. My goal is to give families peace of mind by being dependable, attentive, and flexible to their needs. I am available for both daytime and evening care, and I look forward to the opportunity to support your family.

“Daujae was wonderful! She responded to our last-minute request, and did a great job providing care for our toddler. Our son really enjoyed playing with her! Daujae was engaging, caring and professional. We look forward to working with her again!”

Hi! My name is Vanessa. I was born in Colombia. I’m 28 years old and I used to me a teacher. I’m offering my services as a caregiver, pet care, senior care and housekeeping. I always like working with kids, since I was a little girl. Back in my country, I study to become a teacher and work with different kids as a teacher and assistant on my internship. I was in charge of feeding the babies, changing dipper from the toddlers, create several activities like sensory games and listening exercise for the toddlers and babys. When I got my degree, I started with older kids. It was more like planning activities according to the subject that the principal assign me. I connect with most kids, I’m funny, responsable, reliable and tolerante. I enjoy doing art, science projects, walks around the park, playing basketball and baking. I’m pretty good at board games too. I grew up with pets my whole life. In my country, I have 12 cats and 2 dogs. I have experience taking care of parrots too, because my aunt have one and we do the feeding together and changing the newspaper. I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets, but my experience is with small pets like poodles or pugs.

“Vanessa is awesome! She arrived at our home on time and jumped right in to take care of our 2.5 year old son. They had a great time playing together, and she left his play area in really clean and tidy condition. She clearly has a lot of experience with kiddos and was super professional. We'd love to have her back. ”

My patience and flexibility have been key traits that have helped me create and maintain relationships with children and youth. I enjoy seeing children smile and reaching their fullest potential. Working at an elementary school for seven years has helped me appreciate all the gifts they can offer our world. In addition, I believe adolescents are wonderful beings with so much love to offer this world if given the opportunity.

"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."
