Booked by 30 families in Berkeley, CA

Hi! My name is Mikaela, and I’m a 30-year-old college graduate with a degree in Sociology and a minor in Child Development. I have over 15 years of experience working with children, from helping raise my siblings to serving as a summer camp supervisor for five years. While attending college in Texas, I worked in daycares and volunteered in a hospital maternity ward, which deepened my passion for supporting children and families. Since graduating, I’ve worked as a certified behavioral specialist supporting children on the autism spectrum, and I recently spent two years as a Special Education teacher before moving back to the Bay Area. Currently, I work as a behavioral specialist at a local school and babysit in my free time. Working with children isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s something I’ve built my career around!

“Kayla is amazing! She did a great job handling our two young kids (4 and 1 years old) and was super sweet and friendly with them. They had a very positive experience. Highly recommend her!”

Booked by 86 families in Berkeley, CA

Hi my name is Elexis and I currently attend Sacramento State University online. I have my AA in Psychology and obtaining my BA in Social Work. I have always had a love for youth because I grew up in a big family with lots of younger kids and siblings. I was always the one babysitting, and truly grew a love for it. I really enjoy working with children as I have worked with children since the age of 16. I have worked at multiple after school programs and boys & girls clubs from San Francisco to Sacramento. My career goal is to become a social worker for foster youth or become a preschool/kindergarten teacher one day. I have 5+ years of caregiving for seniors and 10+ years of experience working with youth/kids of all ages. I love working closely with families, building rapport, hanging out with the kiddos and being a helping hand whenever I can. It takes a village to raise a child and I love to be that breath of fresh air for parents. I have a puppy of my own, he is 3 years old. I am not afraid of big dogs. I am willing to walk, dog sit, feed and play with your fur baby no matter their age or size. Thank you for considering me and I look forward to meeting you and your family :) Cancellation Policy : Please let me know if you need to cancel at least 24 hours before scheduled date and time . - If you cancel less than 24 hours: I will expect 50% of what total payment would have been. Due to the fact that I schedule my days around when I have a gig/job.

"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."
