Hi! My name is Yesenia. I’m a Berkeley native and a working professional with a genuine love for caring for others and strengthening my community. I have experience babysitting family members and close family friends, and I grew up with a younger sister on the autism spectrum—an experience that taught me patience, empathy, and adaptability from an early age. I’m a proud cat mom to two cats and enjoy cooking, baking, reading, watching movies, and spending time outdoors. I love engaging with kids through creative activities like arts and crafts, building puzzles, and other hands-on projects that make learning fun. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to creating a safe, supportive, and positive environment for your kiddos. I’m excited to meet you and your family!
Hello ! I have taking care of kids and babysitting for the past 9 years. I am offering child care, elderly care and help with household services. My passion and background is in growing food and farming. I have had held several roles in garden and community education. I know where all the best parks are in San Francisco and love doing activities with kids.
Hi there! My name is Life, and I’m currently a senior at UC Berkeley studying Legal Studies and African American Studies. I’m offering child care, tutoring, and household support services. I am new to Urban Sitter, I have been working primarily with one family over the past 3 years who are now moving away. I enjoy working with kids and have over seven years of experience in babysitting, nannying, tutoring, and outdoor education-youth programming. I’m comfortable supporting a range of ages as well as multiple kiddos at once. I love engaging kids through creative activities, reading, outdoor time, and helping with homework or routines. I aim to create a calm, safe, and affirming environment where your child feels supported, and you feel at ease. In addition to babysitting, I’m happy to help with light household tasks, including cooking, meal prep, tidying up, organization, and running errands. I follow a whole-food lifestyle myself, and can prepare nutritious meals if needed. I’m responsible, communicative, and dependable, with strong time-management. I love dogs, and am happy to provide pet care as well. I am also a licensed driver. A little bit more about me, I am a hobby person. I love sewing, making herbal tea blends, reading, hiking, hanging out with my sister, watching sci-fi movies, and cooking. I look forward to connecting with families who value trust and reliability, and fun in their caregivers! :)
“Life has been our babysitter for the past three years, caring for our three children (now ages 10, 7, and 3), and we truly could not have asked for a better caregiver. We initially hired her through the Bambino babysitting app, and we agreed to grow together as a long-term position. I was hesitant to trust any babysitter with my 3-month-old at the time, but Life reassured me constantly through consistent, reliable, and fully present support for our family. Life regularly helped tutor our older children with schoolwork, prepared meals, and assisted with my own errands, which made an enormous difference in keeping our household running smoothly. Life actively engaged with our kids, leaning into each child’s individual interests, with focused attention and encouragement. Life balances her school commitments and professionalism exceptionally well. She respects family boundaries, communicates clearly, and maintains strong professional expectations while still creating a playful atmosphere. Her positive spirit helped bring my shy 10-year-old out of his shell. My children adore her and have grown in their confidence since she started working with us. We are only parting ways because our family is moving, and we will truly miss having Life as part of our routine. Any family would be lucky to have her.”
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 🤍
Hello Family, My name is Ashanti, I have been a nanny for 5 years along with baby sitting for 2 years. I love kids, I am super passionate about what I do. I work with majority infants, and toddlers and early age elementary kids. I’ve worked with all different types of families and children ( only child, twins, 3 and 4 kids at a time). I enjoy playing with them, teaching them new things, and also being able to be there for them; along with helping my parents that just need a little extra support. Some activities that I do with my children are outside time, story time, numbers and letter activities, and just making sure we meet milestone. I am currently in college studying criminal justice with a minor in psychology. I plan on working with children in the future that are in foster care. I am such a sweet and compassionate person with a understanding heart. I know it can get a little overwhelming being a parent so that's where I come into place. I also help prepare meal, helping clean up, help getting children on schedule to help for parents, school pick ups, night time nannying, I love doing activities as said before and creating memories is the most important thing. I DO NOT do screen time with my children, that is our time to interact with one another. I'm super big on communication with any of my parents I will always let you know what the child ate, I keep track of naps and bottles, and you will always know what our day consisted of. I am CPR and First aid certified due to the age group I work with. I can provide references as well. I would be ecstatic to meet you and your family and help out. Thank you for your time. - Ashanti

"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."
Michelle R., mom of two
"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."
Milena L., mom of two
"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."
Heather B., mom of two
