Jamila | Infant, Toddler, Childcare Specialist | Rapid-Response Backup, Last Minute Care Hi, I’m Jamila! I specialize in rapid-response backup, occasional, temporary, recurring care for infants, toddlers, and busy executive families across the Bay Area. I have experience nannying all around the USA- in NYC, Hawaii, Arizona, Los Angeles, Portland OR, and Las Vegas. Why Families Hire Me: Background and Safety: Honorably discharged U.S. Coast Guard veteran. Experienced with high-profile/corporate families; fully comfortable signing NDAs. Specialized Education: Child Development, Physical Education, Business, and Sports Medicine coursework (Foothill College); certifications in Community Health Work, Case Management, Social Work, Crisis Intervention, Peer Support, Mental Health First Aid and Reiki. I am trained in sexual assault and domestic violence survivor advocacy. I am a classically trained actress with studies in LA and NYC, a military trained public affairs specialist and also briefly attended The Art Students League in NYC, the Stanford Summer Session, and Parsons University for fine art. I currently attend San Mateo College. I am a double major in arts/media and sociology. I studied child development, sports medicine, physical education and kinesiology at Foothill College, before transferring to San Mateo, with a 3.87, and made the Dean’s List. Engaging and Creative: I bring age-appropriate art, museum trips, and interactive learning to every shift to keep children active and engaged. My education in child development and art keeps my childcare fun, yet educational for the children. I have been doing theater since I was 4, so I understand the importance of the arts in childcare. I also am studying Hindi, Urdu, Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, and Egyptian Arabic in my spare time. I’m happy to tutor your children in languages and art. I am a member of SF MOMA, Cal Academy, Chinese Historical Society & De Young. I am happy to do museum field trips. Booking & Availability: I take last-minute requests and short-notice shifts! If you need coverage for times not currently listed on my calendar, message me directly. Note: I accommodate short-term and occasional coverage, as well as nanny-share setups. Please notify me in advance if your child is sick so we can discuss proper care arrangements. Please note I have a 4 hour minimal booking requirement. You are welcome to book less hours, but I still require a minimal pay equivalent to 4 hours.

Booked by 17 families in Berkeley, CA

Hello to all the parents out there! My name is Tye (the little ones call me Miss Tye) and I am originally from Sacramento, CA. I have been living in the Oakland Millsmont area for a little over four years. A little about me— I have a very bubbly personality and I am extremely creative; even my friends call me Miss Frizzle from Magic School Bus! From having fun creative time to having garden lessons or playing sports at the park, I always put my best effort forward. I started my career in child care at the age of 16 where I worked at a in-home daycare for 2 years that had kids ranging from infants to 13 years of age! I continue to be a regular sitter for three families; all of which I’ve been with for multiple years and have connected with through Urban Sitter. I also love to deep clean homes and have had that be my primary role within services like IHSS (in home support) for those who did not have the capacity themselves.

I am fully vaccinated against Covid-19. Please note- I have a 4 hour job minimum! My name is Gabrielle, and I am interested in babysitting for your family. I have over 14 years of experience taking care of newborns, infants, toddlers, elementary school aged children, middle school aged children, preteens, and teenagers. I have provided childcare to over 300 families. I am a reliable, fun, patient, friendly, responsible, and caring babysitter. I have lots of experience babysitting multiple children at a time (up to 5 kids). I have experience feeding newborns, changing diapers, giving and making bottles, cooking meals, getting children ready for bed and putting them in bed, creating exciting games, driving children, and much more. I have great references available upon request. I am CPR and first aid certified for babies through adults by the American Heart Association. I have experience being a summer camp counselor during the summer of 2014, in which I led several games and age appropriate activities for campers. I am a huge fan of the outdoors and do think the outdoors is a great place for discovery and learning, as I enjoy taking kids to playgrounds, museums, libraries, etc in the Bay Area. I am also a fan of music, acting, and arts and crafts. I know of several simple and appropriate art projects for children of all ages and abilities. I do not mind doing light chores such as dishes and laundry. I own a car, and I transport myself to and from jobs. I am able to drive children to and from activities. I have a clean driving record and am fully insured. A little bit about me... I am a San Francisco native. I am a graduate of the University of Nevada and currently working in finance. I hope to fulfill my lifelong dream of working with children for many more years to come. I enjoy watching children grow and mature, as well as creating awesome relationships with families. I have enjoyed babysitting over the years and truly enjoy the opportunity to make a positive impact on a child's life. Thank you so much, and I hope to babysit for your family!

"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."
