Hi, My name is Djedjiga. I graduated from college with a bachelor’s degree in psychology. Since my graduation I have been babysitting kids from age 1 to 12 years old during the day and evenings, after that I was hired as a teacher’s assistant in a preschool for a year. I love working with kids and engage with them through creative play. During my time working with children, I demonstrate my skills of being patient and responsible person. In addition,I am CPR certified .

Hi there! Thanks for checking out my profile. I’m 33 years old, a UC Berkeley graduate, and I’ve been working with children for almost 6 years now. I’ve cared for kids from as young as 2 weeks old up to 10–12 years old — but most of my experience (and love!) is with newborns and toddlers under 3. I’ve had wonderful experiences as a night nanny and with sleep training, keeping babies on schedule, soothing, feeding, changing, entertaining, and supporting them to reach their developmental milestones. With older kids, I’m very animated and fun, and I love bringing learning into play. In the afternoons, I often combined childcare with tutoring — especially for kids with ADHD or on the spectrum. I enjoy finding creative ways to keep them engaged, help with focus, and make learning less stressful and more fun. Before the pandemic, I also volunteered at Sylvia Mendez Elementary School, where I supported kids who were falling behind or facing challenges at home through group and one-on-one activities, arts, and educational games. I’ve worked with twins, multiples, and premature babies, and I believe children start learning from the moment they’re born. The best discipline, in my view, is the one that matches the parents’ style — and I tend to be a great fit for families who are detail-oriented and want someone attentive and reliable. A little about me: I’m a non-smoker, fully vaccinated, and pet friendly. I’d love to chat and see if I’d be the right fit for your family — whether you’re looking for newborn nights, toddler milestones, or after-school tutoring with some extra sparkle.

Amazing care provider in a pinch. Caring and loving and kind!

Hi families! My name is Lais, and I am a dedicated professional nanny with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I have extensive experience caring for children from newborns all the way to teenagers, and I am comfortable and confident with kids of all ages. I also have specialized experience supporting neurodivergent children, and I adapt my care to a variety of approaches—whether that’s gentle parenting, Montessori, RIE, or other philosophies. Despite earning my degree, I decided to continue my career as a nanny because I am deeply passionate about building strong, trusting relationships with families. I plan to grow in this field as a lifelong professional and bring my psychology background into my work every day. I am happy to provide references and my resume upon request, and I’m always available to respond to any texts from families who want to know more about my experience. I am also CPR and First Aid certified. I look forward to connecting and learning about your family’s unique needs! I look forward to connecting and learning about your family’s unique needs!

Lais is an experienced caregiver who had many strategies to handle our rambunctious children!

Hi, and welcome to my profile. I'm originally from Iceland and have lived in Walnut Creek for 16 years. I raised my three girls here and welcomed a grandson 2.5 years ago. I would love to help families part-time in the area with their daily chores, including helping with children, light household, and pet sitting, part-time or occasionally. I have extensive experience with children and being a nanny, as well as caring for the elderly, and raising my own kids. Friends and family describe me as patient, kind, engaging, a good listener, and calm. I'm creative. I love art, reading, music, cooking, nature, and sports. I'm a non-smoker, absolutely no drinking or drugs - ever. I have my car and I'm flexible and don't need too much notice if needed. I look forward to connecting. Thank you!

Was able to help out at the last minute - a total pro!

"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."
