Alexis $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi I’m Alexis and I’m from Oakland! I am currently taking a gap year from UC Berkeley while getting my certifications to become a certified personal trainer. During my free time I enjoy weight lifting, reading, baking, and anything music related. I also love animals, especially dogs :) I have 2+ years experience working with school aged kids through internships such as summer camps and at Highland Hospital. Moreover, I have 1.5 years experience as a babysitter/nanny. I’m also the oldest sibling in my family with a pretty big age gap between my siblings and I, so I grew up taking care of them very often! I am also CPR/AED certified. I believe it’s important to create a safe, stimulating, and stable environment for all children. As a result, I deeply value clear communication and empathy in a work space. Please reach out if you have any questions :)

Maddie $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi I’m Maddie and I currently work as an outdoor educator making the transition to classroom teaching this fall. I’ve worked in various childcare environments, finding the most reward from programs that prioritize outdoor experience, hands-on learning, creativity, and play. My interest in working with kids began in high school through various summer nannying and babysitting gigs, support at local in-home daycares and eventually with a local preschool. I’ve spent the past 5 years working in more structured outdoor-based school-year programs and summer camps. Within all of these roles I’ve worked with children of all ages, needs, backgrounds and experiences, allowing for me to have a deep understanding of how to support each child as an individual. I really appreciate being able to connect with all kids, and find great connection with people on the spectrum, or with behavioral needs. When working with kids, I love to find a balance between being energetic and silly with them while still maintaining respect and expectations. As an individual I could be described as silly, loud, and caring, I love spending time outside, doing all sorts of crafts and listening to live music. I am really excited to spend my summer hanging out with some cool kids and have a really flexible schedule. I’m open to consistent opportunities or occasional ones as well. If the fit is right I would also be open to maintaining a relationship into the school year for weeknight or weekend jobs. I am fingerprinted and background checked in CA, have an up to date Adult and Infant CPR and First Aid certification, a Wilderness First Aid certification as well as a Mental Health First Aid certification.

Hazel $27 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I have been working with kids for the past 4 years now and I absolutely love it! I have the most experience with infants and toddlers but I still have ample experience with kids up to 12. I worked at a daycare for the past three years primarily with ages 6 weeks - 3 years but I also worked as a swim instructor with kids up to 12. I love crafting and playing games! I am comfortable with diapers, potty training, and breast milk/formula. I can watch 3-5 kids at once depending on the ages and I am also fully vaccinated.

Simone $32 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Simone! I’m an empathetic, responsible, and active caregiver with a background in youth development and education, including experience working with elementary-aged children. Most recently, I worked as a Summer Camp Coordinator, where I created 36 STEAM lesson plans each week and coordinated three weekly excursions throughout the San Francisco Bay Area for 100 elementary-aged children, and was the manager for 14 adult staff and 25 teen interns. Before that, I worked in an after-school program in downtown San Jose, providing homework support and leading sports and recreation activities. I’ve also worked with children and teens in summer programs, teaching swimming and leading aquatic activities including stand-up paddleboarding and surfing with the FVC for UCSB alumni families. I love creating fun, positive experiences while making sure kids feel safe, supported, and heard. I’m CPR/First Aid certified and have extensive experience with active supervision and safety. I’m currently between jobs and excited to use my extra time to provide families with dependable, caring, and engaging childcare!

"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."
