Shnyar 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

I’m Shnyar, a professional, and dependable infant teacher with 9 years of childcare experience. Caring for babies is truly my specialty. I’m experienced with feeding, diapering, naps, safe sleep, age-appropriate activities, developmental support, and creating individualized routines based on each baby’s needs. I’m CPR/First Aid certified and have completed coursework focused on infant care, child development, nutrition, and safety. Safety is always my highest priority. I’m patient, attentive, organized, and respectful of each family’s routines and parenting preferences.

“She was amazing with our baby! She was so calm and patient, and it really felt like she naturally understood babies. Our baby felt so secure with her, especially when Shnyar sang little baby songs. She was the only sitter who could get our baby to drink her bottle!”

Booked by 1 family in Lafayette, CA

Hi my name is Sydney and I am currently finishing my program to become an SLPA, which now requires most of my day to be spent completing my clinical hours. I am looking for opportunities, mostly in the morning, to supplement those unpaid internship hours. As for my experience, I worked at an elementary school as a literacy teacher for the past three years giving me lots of experience working with children ages 5-11. On the weekend I coach soccer for kids ages 2-7 and have currently been working with a family in the evenings for the past two years (ages 5 & 3). Additionally, I have experience looking after pets, specifically cats and dogs and supporting families with other household tasks. I enjoy getting to engage in creative, active and educational activities with kids while learning how to best support their growth.

Booked by 2 families in Lafayette, CA

Hello my name is Sydney and I’m currently a Junior attending Cal. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I love being with children and have been watching toddlers and kids for four years now. I am relatively new to watching infants, as I’ve only done it for a year. My responsibilities have included crafts, cooking, driving to/from activities, tutoring, and even sports coaching. I also enjoy taking care of pets as well. I have three dogs of my own, all different sizes so I am comfortable with all dogs. As for cats I’ve never owned one, but I have watched and cared for a few for days at a time. With that in mind, I am aware that the household chores come with it. I can clean and run errands as needed. I have no allergies and excited to work with families!

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.”

"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."
