Nicole $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello my name is Nicole and I am a freshman at UC Berkeley looking to provide childcare services in the area. My experience: All throughout high school, I’ve worked during the summers at a speech and debate camp, where I was responsible for a group of around 10 fourth- and fifth-grade students for half of each day. My role included leading activities, supervising lunch, keeping kids engaged, and teaching confidence-building public speaking skills in a fun, age-appropriate way. I value helping children grow and learn responsibility while making sure they feel supported, safe, and entertained. I’m dependable, organized, and comfortable managing multiple children at once. In addition, I’ve helped supervise groups of children at birthday parties and small gatherings, allowing parents to relax while knowing their kids were safe, engaged, and well cared for. This has given me experience managing energetic group settings, maintaining safety, and keeping activities fun and organized. Skills: Group supervision in informal settings Age range flexibility Behavior management & engagement Structured + unstructured time management Communication with parents Responsibility & trust Educational enrichment Russian language Additionally, I am fluent in Russian, I’ve spoken it my entire life, attended formal classes since age 3, and earned a 5 on the National Examination in World Languages, so I’m happy to support bilingual households if helpful. I absolutely love caring for kids, and would be honored with your trust to help you out and keep your kids safe and happy. I’m happy to meet in person beforehand to make sure it’s a good fit, and I can provide references upon request. My rate is flexible and negotiable based on hours, duties, and your family’s needs, feel free to reach out and we can talk about what works best!

Amiannah $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Amiannah, and I'm a recent UC Berkeley graduate with degrees in Psychology and Social Welfare. I am offering child care, tutoring, pet care, and household support services. I love working with children and have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children through babysitting, tutoring, mentoring, and after school programs. I've also volunteered with Big Brothers Big Sisters and tutored students through community based programs. My responsibilities have included feeding and meal preparation, bedtime routines, educational activities, homework help, arts and crafts, outdoor play, and creating a safe and supportive environment for children to learn and grow. Through my Psychology degree, I specialized in child development, which has given me a strong understanding of children's social, emotional, and cognitive growth at different ages. I enjoy helping children build confidence, explore their interests, and have fun while staying safe. In addition to childcare, I can help with light housekeeping, meal preparation, organization, errands, and pet care. Families describe me as patient, reliable, organized, and easy to communicate with. I look forward to supporting your family!

"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."
