Booked by 9 families in Berkeley, CA

Greetings families! My name is Samantha but you all can call me Sam. I have been a career nanny for 10+ years. And have experience working with newborns, infant, toddlers, and older children all around. Plus, a background with children diagnosed with autism, ADHD, and bipolar disorder. I am transitioning to being a postpartum doula and newborn care specialist. Currently in the process of becoming certified with DONA International by the end of 2023. Am mom to a pitbull mix doggo and a domestic short hair kitty. :)

“Sam was wonderful! She was prompt, professional, an excellent communicator, and she was terrific with my young toddler. I had never had a sitter before so I was incredibly nervous but I felt immediately comfortable leaving my kid with Sam. She updated us via text to let us know how it was going. Sam listened closely to any instructions I left, and followed them closely and respectfully, and let me know each thing was clear and understood. She was terrific playing with my toddler and I'd be thrilled to book her in the future.”

College Educated & Experienced Babysitter Hi, I'm Jessica! I'm a 28-year-old Cal Poly grad with 9+ years of babysitting and nannying experience, including two summers as a full-time nanny. I'm the "fun babysitter who gets things done". Kids get my full attention and energy, and parents come home to a calm, organized house. What I bring to your family: -AP level homework help (math, science, English, etc.) -Activity driven babysitting (screen time is proven to slow down imagination and learning, let’s keep your kids active with playing and activities) -Competitive soccer & tennis background (also I love playing any sport and can help your kid practice) -Meal prep, cooking, organizing, and tidying up! -Drives to activities & appointments -Pet-sitting included -References gladly provided (I just set up my profile so my references will be on my profile soon) I treat every child with kindness, respect, and full attention, creating a safe, supportive environment they'll look forward to.

“Jessica babysat for our two kids (6 and 10 at the time) for about 5 months, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was fantastic with both of them despite their age gap. She was patient and playful with our younger one, while keeping our 10-year-old engaged and even helping with homework. She kept them active and off screens, which we really appreciated, and always left the house calm and tidy. She’s reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about the kids’ wellbeing. We’d recommend her to any family without hesitation.”

Hi there! My name is Ash, and I offer child care, pet care, and household support services. I’ve been babysitting for over 10 years and have experience with children of all ages from newborns and infants to toddlers (including twins!) and older kids. During college, I provided consistent and reliable care for two wonderful families, one for over 3.5 years and another for 2.5 years. My responsibilities included school and activity drop-offs, meal prep, laundry, reading, bathing, arts and crafts, and creating fun daily routines. I also have experience providing extended overnight care for 24-72 hours while parents were away for work or travel. In addition to child care, I have worked as a household assistant, helping with meal preparation, grocery shopping, errands, and household organization. I take pride in being dependable, kind, reliable and attentive. I love creating a safe and positive environment where kids can have fun, learn, and feel cared for. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

“Ash is the best!”

I am a Child Development graduate with over 10 years of hands-on experience working with children. I spent 5 years as a teacher and the past 5 years as a full-time nanny, caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I have training in both the Montessori and Reggio Emilia approaches, and I enjoy supporting children’s independence, curiosity, and creativity through child-led, age-appropriate activities. I am a warm, patient, and reliable caregiver who truly values building a strong, trusting relationship with both children and families. I pay close attention to each child’s emotional and developmental needs and believe that children thrive best in a calm, respectful, and nurturing environment. I love incorporating play, outdoor time, hands-on learning, and daily routines that help children feel secure and confident. Clear communication with parents and consistency in care are very important to me.

"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."
