Hi, I’m Katherine! I started babysitting a couple of years ago for family, and then decided to work in the food industry. I worked for social vocational services, where I gained experience working with adults that have intellectual disabilities. There I was able to introduce many skills that everyone should be able to learn. I currently work for a beautiful family of 4 kids in the evening. They leave on vacation for the holidays and I will be available during holiday breaks, as well as mornings!

Booked by 3 families in Castro Valley, CA

Hi! My name is Alma , I have extensive experience caring for children ranging from newborns to seventeen years. My first babysitting jobs was at the age of fifteen, then I’ve raised five kids of my own. When all my children were old enough, I took care of a family who had a three month old child when I first started working for them, they had two other children while I was taking care of their eldest child. I took care of their newborn children until the oldest sibling was seventeen. I started as a nanny ,however, the job turned into a family assistant/ nanny as I ran the house hold and helped with families personal matters.

“Alma was very patient and attentive in caring for our six month old.”

Fully vaccinated (Pfizer) 25 years old, bilingual (Spanish, English) female. I am a therapist for kids with autism during the day as well as a nanny. I am CPR certified, covid vaccinated(with booster!) and have worked with many children from the ages of 17 and younger. I worked for the Hayward Unified School District with children from ages of 3-14 in a classroom setting. I am energetic, fun and loving.

“Berenize watched my son for an hour every weekday morning for 6 months and then took him to daycare. She was punctual and very responsible. She also took initiative and did light cleaning without me asking. I couldn’t recommend her higher. We have since moved, but would happily hire her again.”

"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."
