Booked by 1 family in El Cerrito, CA

I’m a Substitute Teacher for OUSD. I’m thoughtful, organized and caring. I like to engage children in educational activities instead of watching TV. Coloring, playing, baking cookies and reading are typically the preferred activities. I’ve worked with children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I'm well qualified to help with homework, reading, potty training and taking a child to the doctor. I’m available Monday-Friday + weekends too. My calendar is up to date. Please feel free to contact me. References are available upon request. Thank you. I look forward to meeting you!

Booked by 2 families in El Cerrito, CA

Hi there! My name is Cassandra (Cass for short!) and I’ve been exclusively nannying for 6 years with over 12 years total of childcare experience. I live in Oakland with my husband and our senior chihuahua, Wayward. Originally, I am from Newton, Massachusetts and went to college for Political Science. CPR and first aid certified.

“Cass did a great job caring for my two young boys while preschool is out for summer break! She worked through some difficult moments where my older one missed me well, and left the house cleaner than when she found it! I'll be booking her for more help right away!”

Booked by 3 families in El Cerrito, CA

I'm 29yo and I live in Oakland. I have been working with kids for over 6 years and I have experiences with all ages (from newborns to teenagers). I have a nice background with kids, since I'm a Registered Nurse in Brazil and specialist in pediatrics and worked for 3 years in children's hospitals. I'm fully Covid vaccinated plus booster, flu shot and TDAP. I have great references who will be happy to talk with you, I'd love to share more infos, send me a message if you are interested in talking. I appreciate your time.

“Ana Luisa has a very sweet and calm presence and my kid had a great time hanging out with her and looked forward to it the night before, which is surprising since she has some separation anxiety still. Ana Luisa took our kiddo out to the park every day and kiddo came home happy and excited and very ready for her nap! I really appreciated that Ana Luisa has her own car so she's able to go on adventures. She was always on time and easy to communicate with. I highly reccommend Ana Luisa for any of your childcare needs.”

Booked by 7 families in El Cerrito, CA

Hi families! My name is Yasmin. I am a 30 year old childcare professional with 10 years of experience. My passion for working with children began at home as the oldest of four siblings–my youngest brother is only 7, and watching them grow has been a inspiration for my career. My professional journey began in 2017 during an exchange program in Switzerland, where I cared for a child from birth through age two. I later moved to the U.S. as an Au Pair, caring for three girls (ages 16 months, 4, and 6). Since then, I’ve continued working with families while consistently building and improving my skills. I am a certified postpartum doula and maintain CPR/First Aid certification for infants and children every two years. I have hands-on experience with feeding, diapering, and soothing newborns, including overnight care as a nighttime nanny. I’m also confident caring for babies who are learning to crawl or walk, and I enjoy encouraging their development through gentle play and interaction. In addition, I have experience with toddlers and school-aged children, supporting everything from potty training and homework help to meal prep and bedtime routines. I’ve also worked with children on the autism spectrum. I would love to bring my experience, flexibility, and positive energy to your family. I’m pet-friendly and have a valid driver’s license. I look forward to connecting with you!

“Yasmin was great with our 4-year-old daughter. Our usually shy daughter was sad when Yasmin had to leave and ran up to give her a big hug goodbye. Highly recommend.”

"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."
