Booked by 18 families in El Cerrito, CA

Hi, my name is Livia, I’m currently a baby-sitter for 2 kids, and I love them. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, and toddlers since I was 18 years old. My responsibilities have included -driving to/from school -crafts, tutoring - feeding - bathing - cleaning after the kids - bedtime

“Livia was lovely! She has a calming energy and took great care of our little one, even persevering through some initial separation anxiety. She arrived a little late due to unforeseen traffic, but was professional and thoughtful in communicating with us to let us know. Would definitely hire her again. Thanks, Livia.”

Dear family : Thanks for taking the time to read my profile. I'm Jenny (Yanli), a college student at UC Berkeley currently. It's the 10-year babysitting experience that taught me self-parenting and to stay curious about everything. It's fun to explore new things and keep learning. From this mindset, my journey started at Berkeley Adult School for basic English in 2016 as an au pair, and then Berkeley City College for psychology& cognitive science from 2[removed](part-time), and now at UC Berkeley for Philosophy of Mind (2024-2026). While I'm in school, it's the love from the kids and parents that inspires me to move forward and keep learning. Now, I come back to play with kids since I miss the nature of kids and have extra time in my last semester in 2026 spring. Having taught kids art, acrylic painting, and DIY paper craft through this 10-year journey, I'm eager to keep exploring the creativity kids naturally have. I used to be an au Pair in 2016-2017 after I got training in New Jersey for one week about babysitting, as well as a CPR certificate and a first aid certificate from the American Red Cross. Regarding personality and lifestyle, I'm a big fan of yoga, love art so much. I'd love to go to nature with kids, do yoga together, and visit museums. Happy to share what I'd like to do with kids: 1. It's my great pleasure to teach yoga to kids if kids are interested in it. ( I'm a certified 200-hour yoga instructor from Yoga Alliance) 2. Paper craft, including origami paper craft and DIY holiday cards. 3. Acrylic painting with kids. ( I'm a self-taught acrylic painter who sells my artwork in Berkeley) 4. Read and teach art education, for instance, warm color, cold color, and color wheels. ( I self-taught to be a UX designer) 5. Teach Mandarin and Chinese songs. More artwork, welcome to visit my personal artwork showcase, designed by me.[removed] Also share I have a valid CA driver's licence and good records. Currently, I'm looking for a part-time job. Thanks for reading. I can't wait to talk to you in person. How about starting a video call soon? Have a nice day!

“Yanli looked after our 5-month-old daughter many times while we were living in Berkeley, and we felt incredibly lucky to have found her. After trying a few different sitters, Yanli stood out immediately. I have never seen a sitter give such undivided attention, warmth, and respect to the interests and intelligence of a baby. I trusted her right away and felt that she cared deeply about our daughter’s wellbeing and development. After just a few visits, our baby would smile and get excited when Yanli arrived. Yanli spoke to our baby in Mandarin, taught her songs, spent lots of time with her in nature, played music, and read many books with her. We also learned so much from Yanli, including gentle ways to put Naomi down without fussing. She is thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely gifted with babies. We would wholeheartedly recommend her.”

Booked by 2 families in El Cerrito, CA

Hey there! I graduated UC Berkeley with a Literature BA in 2017 and I’m currently getting my masters in Business. I have been babysitting since high school until right about when Covid came along. Since then i've been blessed with three nephews and nieces that are all under the age of four and do the occasional date night babysitting for a few different families currently (happy to share references). I love spending time with little ones and am really adaptable to your parenting style. I have experience from new borns to 14 year olds. I love arts and crafts, water parks, making bomb banana breads and reading! I was raised in Portugal for a good part of my life so i am happy to talk to your little one in either portuguese or even spanish if you'd like.

“Anabela was warm, prompt, and easy to communicate with. My boys had a great time with her while we were out! ”

I just moved to New York for a couple of months. During this time I would love to babysit. I have experience working as a camp counselor where I was responsible for groups of 10 children aged 3 to 5. I learned how to care for all ages and all profiles. I also have experience with babies, I have cared over the past few months for a baby (from when they were a 6 month old to now a 1 year old), caring for them during the day and completing their night time routine. Tasks I did: help with lunch, assure safety at all times, respect a tight schedule, be alert and observant of all children always, motivate children to do what they have to get done (eg. Drinking water, brushing teeth), play games and engage conversations,keep parents informed of any problems asap, … I have also done overnight babysitting for a regular family (multiple days/ nights without parents) and gotten children ready for bed & school in the morning. I am one of four siblings and have two younger brothers. Both of which I have spent a lot of time with and caring for, from diaper cleaning to helping with homework. Outside of my family, I have taken care of multiple children in New York, Paris, London and San Francisco. A non-exhaustive list of tasks I have done: walking with children from school to home, helping with homework, playing board games, waking up and getting ready for school, morning and evening hygiene tasks, putting children to bed, reading with them, outside walks to the park, planning cultural outings. In addition, I can do house cleaning tasks, prepare basic and healthy meals, and take care of cats. I am a french native and I can help with oral practice and homework. I have experience with family seniors that are physically impaired with general help and hygiene. Overall, I believe that every child is unique, special and has particular needs. I am respectful and responsible and will prioritise any tasks assigned. I have always been around young children and I love seeing them evolve.

Booked by 3 families in El Cerrito, CA

I graduated with a degree in design, which has fueled my creativity and nurtured my ability to engage children in imaginative and enriching activities. With over five years of babysitting experience and a close-knit family dynamic, including caring for my three energetic nephews, I've honed my skills in fostering a safe, fun, and loving environment for kids. On a personal note, I'm an avid reader and nature enthusiast, and I love sharing my passions with curious young minds.

“Liliana has taken care of our son multiple afternoons over the past couple of weeks and has been great to work with in all respects - flexible, patient, creative, and reliable. We would absolutely recommend her to other families and look forward to having her back!”

"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."
