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.”

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 :)”

College Educated & Experienced Babysitter Hi, I'm Jessica! I'm a 28-year-old Cal Poly grad with 9+ years of babysitting and nannying experience, including two summers as a full-time nanny. I'm the "fun babysitter who gets things done". Kids get my full attention and energy, and parents come home to a calm, organized house. What I bring to your family: -AP level homework help (math, science, English, etc.) -Activity driven babysitting (screen time is proven to slow down imagination and learning, let’s keep your kids active with playing and activities) -Competitive soccer & tennis background (also I love playing any sport and can help your kid practice) -Meal prep, cooking, organizing, and tidying up! -Drives to activities & appointments -Pet-sitting included -References gladly provided (I just set up my profile so my references will be on my profile soon) I treat every child with kindness, respect, and full attention, creating a safe, supportive environment they'll look forward to.

“Jessica babysat for our two kids (6 and 10 at the time) for about 5 months, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was fantastic with both of them despite their age gap. She was patient and playful with our younger one, while keeping our 10-year-old engaged and even helping with homework. She kept them active and off screens, which we really appreciated, and always left the house calm and tidy. She’s reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about the kids’ wellbeing. We’d recommend her to any family without hesitation.”

Dior 3 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Dior, and I’m currently a high school senior graduating on June 3rd. Since October, I’ve been working as an Assistant Kindergarten Teacher through an internship where I’ve gained hands-on experience working with children in both small groups and full classroom settings. My responsibilities have included leading classroom activities, helping plan lessons, grading, organizing and creating classroom decorations, and attending field trips with the classes. I have a letter of recommendation I can provide if needed from the teacher I work alongside. Through my ROP Developmental Psychology of Children course, I will also graduate with 6 college credits in Child Development. In addition to my elementary teaching experience, I have experienced babysitting throughout the years, which helped me become patient, responsible, and comfortable caring for children of different ages. I also have experience working with animals through volunteering at the East Bay SPCA caring for dogs and cats. Along with this, I have two years of experience working in the food industry, which strengthened my communication skills, responsibility, and ability to work in fast-paced environments. I’m dependable, caring, organized, and passionate about creating a safe and positive environment for children.

“I am happy to recommend Dior Cooper for any babysitting or childcare position. Dior has worked in my kindergarten classroom during the 2024–2025 school year and has been an incredible asset to our classroom community. Dior confidently helps manage and teach a class of 24 kindergarten students, supports small groups academically, and skillfully redirects behaviors with patience and care. She is especially thoughtful in supporting students socially and emotionally, comforting children when they are upset and helping them work through conflicts with kindness and maturity. Dior has joined us on several field trips, where she safely supervised groups of young students and demonstrated excellent responsibility and judgment. She is reliable, highly communicative, kind, and wonderful with children. I would confidently recommend Dior for any babysitting or childcare position and trust her to provide safe, caring, and engaging support for children.”

"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."
