Hi families! My name is Katerine and I’m 29 years old. I am a friendly, warm and patient person who enjoys spending free time outdoors with my pet. I love looking after children and supporting their learning journey by playing with them and engaging in various indoor and outdoor activities that enrich their knowledge and motor skills; and I also love learning from them; they really are great teachers. I am currently working full time with 2 kids (4yo and 3yo). I’ve been working with them since January 2024, it’s been a very cute and fun journey. I still work occasionally with families that I have contacted by this app. I was an au pair for 2 years and I have experience with children for a little over 7 years. My experience ranges from babies (3 months) to children aged 10-15 years old. If you have any questions, please send me a message and we can get to know each other better :)

Hi, my name is Amber I graduated from Cal State East Bay. I majored in nursing. Now I am a Home health Nurse. I am 26 years old. I offer senior care and child services. I have been a caregiver for seniors for the past 5 years. I do companionship, bathing, feeding, appointments, grocery runs. I have been a nanny on and off for the past 6 years. I hope to work with kids in the near future in the medical field, so it’s been a great experience working with kids and just seeing how to react around them and how kids are and how patient we have to be when we are around them and they could teach you so many things and I love working with kids. I am a very outdoors person. I love hiking and I also love to read. I also speak 5 languages.

“Ambar was amazing with my baby girl. She arrived earlier than scheduled time, was very professional and respectful. Baby was very calm and happy with Ambar. Throughout the time Ambar was singing to her, reading to her and playing with her. I would hire Ambar again in a heartbeat!”

Booked by 10 families in El Cerrito, CA

My name is Raine, I'm 20, and I'm based in Emeryville/Oakland! I'm a high school graduate as of 2024, and am in a course to become a Paraprofessional while working as a babysitter/nanny. I do not drive or have access to a car, but I can travel quite proficiently by foot, bike, and public transportation. Please let me know if your home is not accessible by public transit! I am available Monday-Friday, and occasional weekends. Please message me before booking to make sure we are a good fit! Some more about me: I previously have 4-5 years of experience working with kids at a Scandinavian Language School, in which I worked with kids from 2 years old to 11 years old. I additionally have experience and training with working with neurodivergent/autistic kids, and I'm more than happy to work with families who may have more complex needs. I also have many years of experience in babysitting, as well as pet-sitting and house-sitting! I am born and raised in the Bay Area, and I've been living in Oakland since the start of 2025. I'm a very creative person and love making art, and enjoy very hands-on activities. I'm both the oldest sibling and one of the oldest cousins in a relatively big family, and have found that I'm very good with kids. I genuinely enjoy working with and spending time with kids a lot, and I feel it’s a very rewarding and fun job! Thank you for considering me :)

"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."
