Kahari $15 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated and compassionate college student pursuing a degree in Public Health, with hands-on experience caring for individuals across all stages of life, including children, adults, seniors, pets, and households. My background in the health field has given me both the technical skills and emotional awareness needed to provide safe, reliable, and empathetic care. I understand that caregiving is not just about completing tasks, but about building trust, showing patience, and creating a supportive environment where others feel valued and respected. My caregiving journey began shortly after graduating high school, when I worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) in a nursing home. In this role, I provided direct care to seniors, assisting with daily living activities, mobility, personal hygiene, and emotional support. This experience taught me responsibility, professionalism, and the importance of dignity and compassion in caregiving. Working closely with seniors helped me develop strong communication skills and an understanding of the physical, emotional, and social challenges that can come with aging. In addition to senior care, I have extensive experience working with children. I currently teach and supervise summer camps for children ages 3 to 16, where I am responsible for creating a safe, engaging, and inclusive environment. Through this work, I have developed strong skills in leadership, patience, creativity, and conflict resolution. I enjoy supporting children’s growth, encouraging learning through play, and helping them feel confident and cared for. My ability to adapt to different age groups allows me to meet each child’s unique needs while maintaining structure and fun. I am also a genuine animal lover and feel very comfortable caring for pets. I understand that pets are family members, and I approach pet care with the same responsibility, patience, and affection that I bring to human caregiving. I enjoy spending time with furry friends, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I love reptiles as well I have a crested geico! Personality-wise, I am a caring, positive, and approachable individual who enjoys helping others. I love to laugh, connect with people, and bring warmth into the spaces I work in. I understand that life comes with challenges, and my experiences have taught me empathy, resilience, and gratitude. I am thankful for where I am today and motivated to give back through meaningful work that supports others.

Carly $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Carly and I'm 29 years old. I have watched many kids over the years since I was around 14, as I used to babysit - and still babysit - my 2nd baby cousins and I have also babysat professionally through the Trusted app from August 2017-December 2017 and had to briefly take a break since I went to study abroad the following semester. I’ve babysat kids from months old up until about 7 years old throughout the years, though. I am back and ready to spend time with these sweet, imaginative kids! I love spending time with babies or kids because they have such amazing, intelligent minds and I love to watch them grow whether it is by height or through improvements in their education or just through their personality. I am really into arts and crafts and love to be active, so keeping up is really no problem for me. I can speak a bit of Spanish if you’d like me to speak with your child in conversational Spanish :)

Booked by 2 families in Lafayette, CA

I am nany with years of experience I speak Spanish and intermediate level of English. I know how to cook and prepare snacks. I know drive car and I have a license. I have cpr certified. I have focused on Montessori education and respectful parenting. My available schedule at the moment is 8:30am to 5:30 pm and then from 7pm to 10pm I am very clear that the most important thing is attention to your children, care and that they have moments of fun. I also understand the independence of some children and that others need a more sensitive caregiver who listens to them and is present in the moment. I am the childcare provider who is involved in play and activities.

Maddie $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi I’m Maddie and I currently work as an outdoor educator making the transition to classroom teaching this fall. I’ve worked in various childcare environments, finding the most reward from programs that prioritize outdoor experience, hands-on learning, creativity, and play. My interest in working with kids began in high school through various summer nannying and babysitting gigs, support at local in-home daycares and eventually with a local preschool. I’ve spent the past 5 years working in more structured outdoor-based school-year programs and summer camps. Within all of these roles I’ve worked with children of all ages, needs, backgrounds and experiences, allowing for me to have a deep understanding of how to support each child as an individual. I really appreciate being able to connect with all kids, and find great connection with people on the spectrum, or with behavioral needs. When working with kids, I love to find a balance between being energetic and silly with them while still maintaining respect and expectations. As an individual I could be described as silly, loud, and caring, I love spending time outside, doing all sorts of crafts and listening to live music. I am really excited to spend my summer hanging out with some cool kids and have a really flexible schedule. I’m open to consistent opportunities or occasional ones as well. If the fit is right I would also be open to maintaining a relationship into the school year for weeknight or weekend jobs. I am fingerprinted and background checked in CA, have an up to date Adult and Infant CPR and First Aid certification, a Wilderness First Aid certification as well as a Mental Health First Aid certification.

"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."
