Abeer $26 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I'm Abeer, a mother of two, aged 15 and 17, offering childcare services. I especially enjoy caring for children aged 1-3, as they bring me happiness and calm. What sets me apart from other babysitters is my ability to teach simple Arabic words, comfort crying children, and engage them with educational games. I previously babysat my friend's child, who was 2-3 years old, for two years. During that time, I helped him learn new Arabic words and enhanced his speaking and listening skills. I am joyful, caring, easygoing, attentive, organized, cautious, bilingual, and unfortunately, allergic to cats and dogs.

Natalie $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m Noa, a 24-year-old working as an instructional aid at an ousd preschool! I bring a bilingual, whimsical, and holistic touch to caregiving. My caregiving style is very patient, intuitive, and child-led. I’m highly experienced with neurodivergent children and understand how important it is to provide a calm, low-pressure environment. I worked as a 1:1 paraeducator for a tk student with autism+PDA and absolutely loved it! I’m completely comfortable letting kids take the lead whether that means jumping into their favorite games, giving them space for quiet parallel play, or using collaborative problem solving to help navigate daily routines. Growing up on a ranch in the Imperial Valley surrounded by a rich Mexican culture, I was raised with a true farm-to-table mindset. I even learned how to bake bread before I ever got a cell phone! I love bringing that passion for cooking and gardening into my daily care, nurturing each child's whole self through creative play, patience, and mindful support.

Kristen 1 review
$40 per hour for 1 child

With 18 years of experience caring for children of all ages, I truly love what I do. Building meaningful bonds with kids and meeting them exactly where they are is one of my greatest strengths. Organization is my superpower, and I use it to create calm, structured environments where children feel safe, supported, and able to thrive. I'm compassionate, patient, reliable, and creative, always thinking of engaging ways to help children reach their milestones while having fun. I also love supporting families as a whole and helping out wherever I can to make daily life run more smoothly. I'm excited to meet the next family I'll be working with, whether it be as a nanny or as a family assistant. If chosen as a family assistant, my rate is different, and I'm happy to chat about it when we meet. Please note that I am allergic to cats and most dogs.

“Kristen was our nanny for over five years, and we can't recommend her highly enough. She's part of our family, and both of our kids adore her. Any family who books her is lucky to have her. Kristen has 20 years of experience with children from infancy through grade school. She quickly picks up a family's routines and parenting style, so kids feel safe and parents feel at ease. She's warm, engaging, and meets each child at their level. Expect lots of reading, dance parties, and trips to the park. Kristen is reliable, communicates clearly, and keeps parents in the loop. She handles meals, clean-up, and bedtime without being asked, and the house is always tidy when you get home. Whether you need a date-night sitter, after-school help, or a last-minute backup, Kristen is the person you want.”

I am booking occasional nights and daytime care as my schedule is open. I am seeking a part time or fulltime job in San Francisco, Berkeley, Albany, Oak. I am also open to working evening or daytime occasional care. After finishing a 14 month position a FT job with a 1.5- turning 2.5 child I had a 3 month temp job with a 1.5 year old. I have worked as a full time Nanny and Preschool teacher for 20 years in SF, Berkeley and Oakland. Truly Outdoorsy! I have enthusiastically enjoyed caring for the ages of 2-5 from age 18. Most of the families that I have worked with the past 8 years have left the area but are still fabulous references. I never used an agency. 2.5 Years I worked as nanny in Berkeley to a 1- 4 year old in Berkeley, 4 plus years recently, and numerous families in SF during 2021- 22. I cared for a 2 year old full time and the 5 year old part time. I have over 23 years of nannying experience. I started young! I have a BA in Psychology and took 8 education courses. I studied abroad in India, Nepal and Tibet. In college I worked at a daycare then started a drama club at the same afterschool program for 3 years. I assisted a Waldorf - inspired preschool, taught at a Montessori based English language immersion preschool and kindergarten in Taiwan for 2 years. I worked as a teacher for 3 years with 2-5 year olds at a lovely Reggio play based preschool in Berkeley. I have been known to have a strong constitution, good health and I very much find children funny and wise. I found my calling early on.

Booked by 133 families in El Cerrito, CA

Hi! My name is Hue (or Emily). I’ve been working with a family in the Panhandle since their baby girl was 8 months old, and she has now started preschool. I’ve been with them for 4+ years and am currently looking for a part-time or full-time position. I have over 10 years of experience caring for infants and toddlers. I’ve worked with single families, nanny shares, and siblings. The youngest baby I’ve cared for was just 2 weeks old. A typical day with a baby includes breakfast, a bottle before the morning nap, lunch with solid foods, and another bottle before the afternoon nap. During the day, I incorporate indoor activities like music, reading, and helping develop motor skills such as crawling, standing, and walking. I also make it a priority to get outside every day - whether it’s going to the park or library for story time - so they can get fresh air, build social skills, and interact with other children. I make sure everything related to the child is clean and organized, including diaper changes, washing bottles, preparing meals, and bathing before parents get home. I’ve had the joy of supporting many important milestones, such as crawling, first teeth, introducing solid foods, sleep training, standing, walking, and nap transitions. While there can be challenges - like sleep training, feeding transitions, or adjusting schedules - I’m patient and experienced in helping both children and parents through those stages. For toddlers, I help with daily routines such as breakfast, snacks, playground time, story time or music classes, lunch, and naps. I also assist with dishes and laundry when needed. I truly enjoy spending time with kids and building a strong, caring relationship with them. I love keeping children active with outdoor activities like going to the park, scootering, biking, and dancing, rather than relying on screens. I also enjoy cooking healthy meals for kids (such as meatballs, beef, salmon, and chicken), and I’m happy to help with light household tasks like dishes, laundry, and organizing children’s spaces. Please feel free to reach out if you think I might be a good fit for your family. Thank you so much!

"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."
