Wren 2 reviews
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Wren I've been caregiving for pets, kiddos, people with social needs, and seniors my whole life! I started petsitting when I was 8 years old, and nannying when I was 11. I worked with seniors with dementia while in school to get my degree in social work, and worked as a full time social worker for years until I realized I prefer a varied schedule and hands on caregiving. I am very artistic and creative and love doing art with kids or special needs adults. I also love organizing and interior design to help make a space work for a persons individual needs. Thank you for considering me!

“Wren has done a great job sitting for my two cats. I have one indoor and one outdoor and I always feel at ease leaving them in Wren's care. The cats have grown to love Wren, as well! I definitely recommend Wren as a reliable, thoughtful sitter.”

Booked by 1 family in El Cerrito, CA

Hi! My name is Yoselyn. I am from Peru and I speak Spanish and English. I have over 8 years of experience working with children through volunteering, babysitting, and childcare support. I am very patient, caring, honest, and responsible. I have taken childcare and infant care courses, and I am trained in first aid. I have also participated in volunteer work with children, which strengthened my passion for childcare. I truly enjoy supporting children's development and helping them learn, explore, and grow in a safe and positive environment. I always prioritize children's safety and emotional well-being. I am looking for a respectful and safe environment where I can support families and be part of children's daily routine. In my spare time, I enjoy swimming, watching movies, riding my bike, exploring new places, and hiking. I would love the opportunity to bring my experience, care, and positive energy to your family and support your children's growth.

“Yoselyn was great with my baby. She was always caring, patient, and dependable. I would definitely recommend her to any family looking for a kind and trustworthy nanny.”

Amanda 1 review
$33 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Amanda, a caring, responsible, and energetic caregiver with 2 years of childcare experience in the U.S. During my time as a live-in caregiver, I cared for three children who were 3, 5, and 8 years old when I finished, and I had been with the youngest since they were 18 months old. I have hands-on experience caring for multiple children and managing their daily routines. I helped get the kids ready in the mornings, prepared meals and snacks, drove them to school, sports, activities, playdates, and parks, and made sure they were safe and comfortable throughout the day. I also regularly helped with dinner and the evening routine, including bath time, pajamas, getting ready for bed, and bedtime. My responsibilities also included kids’ laundry, making beds, organizing backpacks and play areas, errands, meal prep, and keeping the kitchen and common areas tidy. I’m CPR/First Aid trained and take safety and communication seriously. I’m patient, dependable, organized, proactive, and easygoing. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and keeping them engaged through outdoor play, crafts, games, trips to the park, and age-appropriate activities. I’m also comfortable helping with household tasks that make a family’s day run more smoothly. I have a degree in Civil Engineering, which has helped me develop strong organization, problem-solving, and time-management skills. I’m currently based in Oakland and am looking to connect with local families for babysitting, nanny, mother’s helper, and family assistant opportunities. I’d love to get to know your family and see if we could be a good fit!

“Amanda has been our au pair for the past 2 years (2024-2026). During that time, she was a great partner to me and a welcome addition to our family. She is communicative, flexible, and proactive as a mother’s helper and is caring and warm (but firm when needed) with my 3 boisterous girls. She has worked with us since my youngest was 1.5 years old so she’s very familiar with everything from feeding and nap schedules to potty training, as well as how to entertain older kids. She is also a safe driver and has spent a lot of time with my oldest (now 8) driving her and her friends to their after school activities. She has babysat for us for many date nights, handling the bath/bedtime routine for all 3 girls by herself. I clearly cannot say enough good things — you need Amanda :)”

"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."
