Hi my name is Karla! I offer childcare, light household services, pet care and open to more! I love being a babysitter and enjoy everything that comes with it. From newborn, toddlers, I’ve been watching kids for more than 6 years and it’s something I really enjoy and am passionate about. I’m currently in college and hope to open my own daycare once I finish school. Driving to and from school or any other activities (sports,school events etc.,) arts and crafts, helping with homework are all some of my responsibilities. I also speak Spanish!

Booked by 8 families in Castro Valley, CA

Hi! My name is Alma I’m from France, and I speak French and a little English. I love spending time with children and helping them learn and grow every day. In France, I got my BAFA diploma, which is a certification to work with kids. I worked in a recreation center with children ages 3 to 8, where I organized fun activities like painting, outdoor games, and small theater shows. I also helped during snack time and made sure every child felt included and happy. I’ve done a lot of babysitting, from newborns to older kids. For example, I often take care of babies feeding them, changing diapers, and putting them to sleep and I enjoy helping toddlers discover new things through songs, stories, and play. I’m calm, patient, and responsible, but I also bring a lot of energy and creativity. I love reading stories, doing crafts, cooking simple meals, or going to the park. I can also help with light cleaning or organizing around the house if needed. I’m passionate about creating a safe, loving, and fun environment for every child I care for. Parents describe me as reliable, kind, and always smiling. I would be happy to meet your family and give your children the best care possible

“She was super great for my kid ! She even helped build her little train set ! And by the time I got back from my little mommy time alone . She was asleep ! She did so great! Would recommend her 100%”

Booked by 3 families in Castro Valley, CA

Hello my name is Araceli. I am a dedicated and experienced childcare provider with over a decade of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages — from infants to middle schoolers. As a mother of three, I bring both professional expertise and genuine love for nurturing young minds. For six years, I cared for two wonderful children full-time, supporting their development from early childhood into their preteen years. I currently work at a school in Oakland in an after-school program, where I’ve spent the past three years caring for students from TK through 8th grade. Families describe me as reliable, responsible, and nurturing, with a calm and caring presence. I take pride in creating safe, positive, and engaging environments that help children learn and thrive. I am also fluent in Spanish, which allows me to comfortably communicate with bilingual families and support early language development. I am very flexible with scheduling, have excellent references, and am always willing to adapt to a family’s unique needs. Above all, I’m excited to meet a new family and build a lasting, trusting relationship where your children feel cared for, respected, and happy every day.

Booked by 1 family in Castro Valley, CA

Hi my name is Sydney and I am currently finishing my program to become an SLPA, which now requires most of my day to be spent completing my clinical hours. I am looking for opportunities, mostly in the morning, to supplement those unpaid internship hours. As for my experience, I worked at an elementary school as a literacy teacher for the past three years giving me lots of experience working with children ages 5-11. On the weekend I coach soccer for kids ages 2-7 and have currently been working with a family in the evenings for the past two years (ages 5 & 3). Additionally, I have experience looking after pets, specifically cats and dogs and supporting families with other household tasks. I enjoy getting to engage in creative, active and educational activities with kids while learning how to best support their growth.

"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."
