Hello! Iโ€™m seeking date-night, weekend and part-time sitting. Flexible schedule during school breaks and holidays! I coach preschool/ recreational gymnastics and support our camp program in Emeryville. Iโ€™m one of 7 kids and have 6 nieces & nephews! I completed my Masterโ€™s Degree in Counseling Psychology with a K-12 School Counselor credential from USF. Iโ€™ve been an educator for over 20 yrs working as a teacher, school counselor, coach, tutor and nanny. My childcare experience started at age 12 as sitter in my neighborhood and watching my younger siblings. I provided part-time and full-time nannying, evening sitting, emergency/ back-up care and on-going sitting in the Bay Area, (Boston, MA), (Austin, TX), and my home state of Michigan. During graduate school, I interned at a middle school and a high school. I was a high school counselor for 5 years and a middle school counselor this past year. My internships and counseling roles provide me with training in social-emotional development, academic support, crisis intervention, counseling therapies, individual and group therapy, peer mediation and positive reinforcement. Iโ€™m always excited to meet new families and support your childcare needs. Please feel free to ask any questions!

๐ŸŒŸ Looking for New Families! ๐ŸŒŸ Hi! My name is Brooke. I'm originally from the Bay Area, spent the last five years in Denver, and recently moved back home. I've always loved nannying and babysitting. I have a background in theatre and love being creative, putting on shows, playing games, and using my imagination with the children I care for. I truly enjoy spending time with kids and often joke that I'm a kid at heart myself. ๐Ÿ˜Š I have an older sister, and when my cousin was born when I was 8 years old, I discovered how much I loved being around children. Watching her grow and spending time with her sparked a passion that eventually led me to nannying, which has been one of the most rewarding parts of my life. I consider myself highly responsible, dependable, and respectful of others' time. I pride myself on being a strong multitasker, a fast learner, and someone who can solve problems while still creating a fun, engaging environment for children. I communicate clearly, follow instructions well, and always strive to make life easier for the families I work with. One important boundary I have is that I do not provide care for sick children. Unfortunately, I tend to get sick easily, and when that happens it affects my ability to fulfill commitments to other families and responsibilities. If a child is actively sick when I arrive and I was not informed beforehand, I may need to leave. I greatly appreciate open communication regarding illness so that we can respect each other's time and expectations. I value reliability, honesty, and mutual respect, and I look forward to connecting with families who do as well. Feel free to reach outโ€”I would love to chat and see if we're a good fit!

โ€œProfessional and thoughtful!โ€

Hello! I was born and raised in Austria and came to the US as an Au-pair 20 years ago, so I also speak fluent German. It's simple really, I love children and they love me. As an Aries I am an eternal child and relate to children very easily. I enjoy reading with them, doing arts and crafts, building forts and being outside. I also like to include them into chores in a playful way to keep them humble and make them feel accomplished. Communication is the biggest key for me and I love listening to my lil client's stories all day! In a nutshell I am fun, responsible, reliable and have a lot of energy. My philosophy is that your child is as much of a client as you are, I customize my care to the needs of the client. Please note I am available to work holidays but charge time and a half for those days. New Years Eve is double. Policies: I have a 4 hour minimum booking policy. CANCELLATIONS: For cancellations with less than 24 hours notice, I expect 50% of the original booking amount, which can be paid via PayPal or Venmo. EARLY RETURNS: Because I plan my time and budget around the hours booked, I ask to be paid for the entire booking, even if you come home early. LATE RETURNS: I'm usually flexible on the end time of a booking, but please text/call me if you'll be late, especially if we have not discussed flexibility beforehand. I occasionally book jobs back to back with just enough time for travel in between, and your late return can have an unfortunate impact on my schedule. For nanny shares I charge $20 per child.

โ€œComplete rockstar! High energy for my son, interactive and engaging, so much fun!! Very professional and punctual!โ€

"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."
