Hello families! I love working with children and am looking for babysitting opportunities with kids of any age! I enjoy spending time with kids doing crafts, reading stories at bedtime, and keeping them happy and safe. Some of my hobbies include photography, singing, knitting, and yoga. I am a graduate of San Francisco State University, where I studied psychology with an emphasis on child development. I have been babysitting since high school and have worked with many local families with kids ages 0-13. I was a tutor for a year at an after school program where I facilitated activities and helped the children with their homework. After graduating college I worked for a year and a half at a group home for kids (ages 6 to 18) who struggled with regulating themselves during stress. One summer I also worked at a pre-school prep where I interacted with kids ages 8 months to 3 years doing activities such as reading, singing, crafts, art and other activities. And then most recently I taught mindfulness for two years at Oakland Public Schools and have been substitute teaching for the past year. I was very active for many years on Urbansitter back when it first started from about 2012 to 2017 and then I took a long break from it to focus on other career goals. Now I’ve decided to make a return to it since I’m on summer break and am hoping to continue with it into the next school year as I plan to be part time with my regular job. I currently live in San Leandro and am willing to go to Oakland, Hayward, Castro Valley, San Francisco and Lafayette. I look forward to hearing from you! Sheena

Hi! My name is Natalia and I’m 29 years old. I started caring for my younger sister at 13, which sparked my passion for working with children. By the time I turned 18, I was babysitting for my older sister’s friends, and word quickly spread to their friends as well. Over the past few years, I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I also have experience working in a nanny share with three infants at once, which taught me how to manage multiple little ones with care and attention. When the weather is nice, I love taking kids outside for fresh air and activities. Indoors, I enjoy playing with toys, board games, card games, or doing arts and crafts. In my free time, I love hiking, going to the gym, reading, and spending time with family and friends.

Hello parents! I'm a nurturing individual with a passion for children's growth and development. My journey in childcare stems from a desire to impact young lives positively. With 4 years of Nanny experience and being a former Montessori Teachers Aid, l've honed my skills in providing a safe and stimulating environment for children. I've cared for children ages ranging from 3 months to 11 years old. I worked as an after school teacher and taught coding, clay art, and lego engineering to elementary aged children. Ranging from grades 1st to 4th. I am also an older sister and an aunt. My siblings being now 13 years old and 7 years old. I have helped raise my siblings and have learned from an early age how to take care of children! I believe in fostering a warm and friendly atmosphere where children feel comfortable expressing themselves. My patient and creative approach allows me to engage children in various activities, including outdoor games, board games, and educational games that enhance their learning. I understand the importance of open communication with parents and regularly provide written daily reports and updates on their child's well-being. I firmly believe in following the parents' lead when it comes to enforcing household rules. My background includes college coursework in Early Childhood Education and Development, which has further enhanced my understanding of children's needs.

“Chelsea is a phenomenal nanny - she has cared for our 6 month old girl wonderfully. She is calm and detail-oriented. She fills each day with age-appropriate, stimulating activities and has helped advance eating solids, tummy time, sitting up and improving nap routines for our daughter. She maintains a safe environment at all times and is communicative / responsive to my husband and self during care while we are at work. She really is a team player - always on time, always positive, takes direction well, and shows genuine interest in helping us with our daughter's needs and general household maintenance. She also is proficient in Huckleberry app tracking, which has been a huge blessing in communicating our daughter's daytime schedule. She really goes above and beyond in her role. Lastly - Our daughter LOVES her. Baby always smiles when she comes over and shows signs of comfort when in her arms.”

I have also worked with middle and high schoolers in the past and currently, either teaching Portuguese, capoeira, Hebrew and judaic studies I am passionate about art, music, movement, and absolutely love to share my passion with the young crowd, and feel that my creativity, love and spontaneity are the greatest assets I bring to my work with children I speak fluent English and Portuguese and am conversant in Spanish and Hebrew. I am currently looking for a part time or full time position as a nanny and/or occasional babysitting.thank you for checking my profile, and I look forward to meeting you soon.

“I’m happy to recommend Zahava as a babysitter. She was my daughter’s preschool teacher and consistently showed warmth, patience, and professionalism. Our daughter felt safe and happy in her care, and we always appreciated her nurturing and attentive approach. We would fully trust Zahava to care for our child outside the classroom and believe she’d be a wonderful babysitter.”

"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."
