Manuela $25 per hour for 1 child

Helping children grow, discover the world, and celebrate their milestones is something I truly enjoy. With more tan two years of childcare experience, I provide patient, calm, and creative care for children of different ages, from toddlers to teenagers. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and creating a safe environment is always my priority. I love turning everyday moments into meaningful learning experiences. Whether we are exploring nature, visiting parks or libraries, reading together, doing puzzles, coloring, creating crafts, or practicing letters and numbers through play, I enjoy finding creative ways to encourage curiosity. I believe almost anything can become a game with imagination. I am also a confident swimmer and can provide swimming supervision when needed. I am happy to help with meal preparation, follow family routines, and keep open communication with parents. My goal is to create a caring and positive environment where children feel safe, valued, and excited to learn.

Kari $26 per hour for 1 child

I have 28 years of hands-on caregiving experience, having raised two children who are now ages 28 and 21. I understand the importance of providing a safe, nurturing, and attentive environment for school-aged children. While my children were in grades 1–5, I supervised elementary school children to and from school five days a week. I am also a proud grandmother to three grandchildren—one age seven and twins age six—which has further strengthened my patience, responsibility, and ability to care for children of different ages.

Booked by 1 family in Castro Valley, CA

Hi! My name is Angie, and I’m 29 years old and based in Oakland.💗 I’m currently looking for babysitting and nannying opportunities throughout the East Bay. I have childcare experience from helping care for my younger siblings from the newborn stage as they grew up, along with a few babysitting jobs here and there. I’m patient, caring, dependable, and attentive, and I really enjoy creating a safe and comfortable environment for children. I’m also a pet caregiver through Rover 🐾 , so I’m very comfortable with dogs, cats, and other pets in the home. I’m currently pretty flexible with my availability and open to occasional babysitting, date nights, on call care, or a more consistent schedule. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and see if I’d be a good fit!💕

Shainese $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Shai, I am a full time nursing student currently in my last term, working toward a career in pediatrics. I have a strong passion for caring for children and creating a safe, supportive, and engaging environment for them. I have hands-on experience caring for kids in different ages. I have 3 younger siblings, 2 of them being 8 years old who I helped raise, so I’m very comfortable managing routines, multiple children, and different personalities. In addition, through my nursing clinical experience, I’ve cared for ill children ranging from infants to teenagers. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive, and I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident leaving their children in good hands. I can assist with homework, prepare simple meals, and keeping kids active and engaged in a safe way. I have a BLS certification and able to perform CPR when needed. I also have my own transportation and a flexible schedule outside of my school hours.

"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."
