Natasha $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Natasha, I’m 30 years old, recently married, and I speak fluent English and Portuguese (my native language). I’m a caring, responsible, and loving person who truly enjoys being around children. I’m also a follower of Jesus Christ, and my values are very important to me—I go to church every Sunday and try to bring kindness and patience into everything I do. I have 1 year of hands-on experience taking care of two siblings (a 2-year-old girl and a 4-year-old boy). I helped with their daily routine, including: • Preparing breakfast • Dropping them off and picking them up from preschool • Taking them to the park on their days off • Keeping them engaged and happy throughout the day I love creating fun moments with kids—whether it’s dancing together (they LOVE “chicken banana” 😂) or watching their favorite movies (yes… Elsa on repeat!). I build strong, loving connections with children, and they usually feel very comfortable and happy around me. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, patient, and genuinely passionate about childcare, I would love to connect with you. Send me a message and let’s talk 🤍

Nicole $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello my name is Nicole and I am a freshman at UC Berkeley looking to provide childcare services in the area. My experience: All throughout high school, I’ve worked during the summers at a speech and debate camp, where I was responsible for a group of around 10 fourth- and fifth-grade students for half of each day. My role included leading activities, supervising lunch, keeping kids engaged, and teaching confidence-building public speaking skills in a fun, age-appropriate way. I value helping children grow and learn responsibility while making sure they feel supported, safe, and entertained. I’m dependable, organized, and comfortable managing multiple children at once. In addition, I’ve helped supervise groups of children at birthday parties and small gatherings, allowing parents to relax while knowing their kids were safe, engaged, and well cared for. This has given me experience managing energetic group settings, maintaining safety, and keeping activities fun and organized. Skills: Group supervision in informal settings Age range flexibility Behavior management & engagement Structured + unstructured time management Communication with parents Responsibility & trust Educational enrichment Russian language Additionally, I am fluent in Russian, I’ve spoken it my entire life, attended formal classes since age 3, and earned a 5 on the National Examination in World Languages, so I’m happy to support bilingual households if helpful. I absolutely love caring for kids, and would be honored with your trust to help you out and keep your kids safe and happy. I’m happy to meet in person beforehand to make sure it’s a good fit, and I can provide references upon request. My rate is flexible and negotiable based on hours, duties, and your family’s needs, feel free to reach out and we can talk about what works best!

Emily $35 per hour for 1 child

I am excited to support a household as a dedicated nanny. With four years of experience managing multi-child families ranging from newborns to ten-year-olds, I bring a proactive, calm, and highly organized approach to everyday childcare. As a university lecturer, active filmmaker, and community storyteller, I bring fun, creativity, and organization to my role as a nanny. My background includes caring for a family with two children across the toddler to ten-year-old spectrum, as well as a family with three children spanning from newborn to ten years old. Managing households with wide age gaps has given me a deep understanding of varied developmental milestones. I am adept at balancing complex schedules, whether that means managing newborn feeding and nap routines while simultaneously supervising a ten-year-old’s homework and creative projects. Beyond safety and logistics, my focus is on fostering an environment of curiosity, emotional stability, and engaging daily activities tailored to each child's interests. I pride myself on clear communication, reliability, and adapting to a family’s unique culture so you can focus entirely on your endeavors with complete peace of mind. I would welcome the opportunity to connect and discuss how my childcare background can best serve your family.

"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."
