Booked by 4 families in Berkeley, CA

I grew up in a large family as the second oldest of five siblings, where I took on a caregiving role from a young age. With workaholic parents, I helped raise my younger siblings, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to understand children’s needs. In high school and after graduating, I also worked part-time babysitting my neighbors’ children, further strengthening my ability to connect with kids and provide a safe, nurturing environment. Since moving to the U.S., I have continued working as a part-time babysitter and have developed strong childcare experience.

“Heven watched our two girls for the evening. She arrived on time and immediately settled in with the girls. getting to know them and setting up an activity to keep them busy as we departed. All went well. Heven was very responsive and provided good communication. I definitely recommend.”

Booked by 8 families in Berkeley, CA

Hello! I have years of experience caring for children from infants to school age. I have experience with daily routines (feedings, nap, and play time), transport to school and activities, organizing games and activities that meet their needs and interest, and communicating closely with parents to provide an overall positive environment. I currently work in the field of ABA within the elementary school setting, supporting children with developmental/learning disabilities, but I’m looking to work with a great family on my free time (after school hours, during school closures, occasional weekends). Let me know if I can help with your child and if you have any questions. Thanks ! :)

“Celina babysat our 18 month old (and occasionally our 4 year old) twice a week for 3 months, during a very tricky time Covid-wise. She was wonderful with both kids, as well as professional and reliable with us. We really appreciated her great communication and calm maturity during a very challenging time. We trusted her completely and would absolutely hire her again for our future needs!”

Hi, my name is Janneth I am easy going, intuitive, and responsible. I am also a mom to a smart and curious 10 year old. I have a lot of experience working with newborns, toddlers, and teenagers. In my day to day life I wear many hats mom, wife, manager, big sister, and care taker to many students. I work in higher ed and have been working specifically in student services for the past 5 years. I have experience working with students from diverse racial and socio-economic backgrounds. Before that, I spent 2 years teaching English to children aged 5-10. I started babysitting at a young age for my family and neighbors and have been taking care of children ever since. After having my son, I took a break from work to focus on his care, but now that he is older and more independent, I am able to return to babysitting and work with other families.

"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."
