Booked by 18 families in Lafayette, CA

Hi, my name is Livia, I’m currently a baby-sitter for 2 kids, and I love them. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, and toddlers since I was 18 years old. My responsibilities have included -driving to/from school -crafts, tutoring - feeding - bathing - cleaning after the kids - bedtime

“Livia was lovely! She has a calming energy and took great care of our little one, even persevering through some initial separation anxiety. She arrived a little late due to unforeseen traffic, but was professional and thoughtful in communicating with us to let us know. Would definitely hire her again. Thanks, Livia.”

I just moved to New York for a couple of months. During this time I would love to babysit. I have experience working as a camp counselor where I was responsible for groups of 10 children aged 3 to 5. I learned how to care for all ages and all profiles. I also have experience with babies, I have cared over the past few months for a baby (from when they were a 6 month old to now a 1 year old), caring for them during the day and completing their night time routine. Tasks I did: help with lunch, assure safety at all times, respect a tight schedule, be alert and observant of all children always, motivate children to do what they have to get done (eg. Drinking water, brushing teeth), play games and engage conversations,keep parents informed of any problems asap, … I have also done overnight babysitting for a regular family (multiple days/ nights without parents) and gotten children ready for bed & school in the morning. I am one of four siblings and have two younger brothers. Both of which I have spent a lot of time with and caring for, from diaper cleaning to helping with homework. Outside of my family, I have taken care of multiple children in New York, Paris, London and San Francisco. A non-exhaustive list of tasks I have done: walking with children from school to home, helping with homework, playing board games, waking up and getting ready for school, morning and evening hygiene tasks, putting children to bed, reading with them, outside walks to the park, planning cultural outings. In addition, I can do house cleaning tasks, prepare basic and healthy meals, and take care of cats. I am a french native and I can help with oral practice and homework. I have experience with family seniors that are physically impaired with general help and hygiene. Overall, I believe that every child is unique, special and has particular needs. I am respectful and responsible and will prioritise any tasks assigned. I have always been around young children and I love seeing them evolve.

Hi! My name is Elinor, and I’d love to connect with your family! I moved to Oakland two years ago and currently teach 7th grade. As the eldest of four kids, taking care of children has always been second nature to me—I started babysitting when I was 14 and haven't stopped since! While I love teaching during the school day, babysitting outside of school hours allows me to keep working with kids of all ages while helping me make ends meet. I'm open to all types of jobs and bring a ton of flexibility! During the school year, I'm mostly available for afterschool care and weekends, as well as during school breaks and holidays. I am also available for house sitting and pet sitting, both of which I have done many times over the years. I am fully open to traveling with families and doing overnight stay care as well. Beyond child care, I have a lot of experience with—and genuinely love—organizing. I'm always happy to jump in and help out with household chores, whether that's laundry, meal prep, or keeping things tidy and running smoothly. I hold a degree in History and Secondary Education from Grinnell College, along with CPR and First Aid certifications. Beyond standard babysitting, I teach 7th grade English and 8th grade math, so I am always happy to provide tutoring or homework help if your child needs extra support! Over the years, I've worked as a nanny, camp counselor, and swim instructor, so I’m comfortable with everything from driving to after-school activities and meal prep to organizing fun outdoor games and keeping kids engaged. I’d love to chat and see if I’d be a good fit for your family! Warmly, Elinor Hanley

Booked by 11 families in Lafayette, CA

Hi Everyone! My name is Jamiah and I have been an educator for over fourteen years with many of those years in special-education/inclusion. My care-work began as a baby sitter helping loved ones through postpartum, earned my first job as a preschool assistant, and it has now manifested into a doula practice. I thoroughly enjoy working with all families and children with many different learning styles. I am patient, warm, supportive and use my creativity to bring new experiences to your children’s lives. I have worked with babies through adults in various schools as an instructional aid, preschool educator, dance teacher, on the cultural administrator team, in day programs for neurodivergent adults, and memory care with elders as a private care giver. As a doula I have experience working with families & infants who are navigating birth and postpartum. Moreover, I am CPR, AED & first aid certified, comfortable administering medicine, navigating sensitive diets/allergies, have 10 Early Childhood Development Units, provide sibling support during birth (rates will vary), have work with families with multiples (twins), and love supporting families with pets. My care is centered around social emotional learning, restorative justice, self-autonomy, and trauma-informed. Moreover, I have a degree in Ethnic (study of other ethnicities/humanities) & Dance Studies and have worked as an art teacher for many years at MoAD. I am comfortable facilitating activities, developing curriculum, and some homework assistance. I am very excited about the prospect of supporting your family!

“Jamiah is truly the best! She stepped in when I was in desperate need of last-minute help, and the second she walked into our home, an immediate sense of peace came over us. She is beyond qualified and goes above and beyond—not only taking amazing care of your child, but supporting the mother as well. On her very first day, she surprised us by taking our 1-year-old son to the aquarium and kept us updated with tons of photos throughout the day. Our son instantly gravitated toward her calm, positive energy. Jamiah is loving, responsible, patient, and an absolute rockstar with kids. I cannot recommend her highly enough!”

"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."
