Booked by 2 families in Lafayette, CA

Currently a part time babysitter for a 10 month old in Oakland. I have a B.A. in Sociology from UC Santa Cruz and I have worked in office administration as well as care giving over the years. I sing in a cover band and dance tango in my free time! I was a full time nanny for a family in Oakland and NYC for three years raising their infant daughter and young boy through the toughest early years. I really enjoy spending time with children and I have a calm and grounding presence which I believe helps young families with a lot going on. I have done light house keeping, errand runs and school and activity pick up and drop off.

“Chloe is aweome! our shy 3 year old warmed up to her quickly. She is easy to communicate with - responsive, prompt, easy to work with on our somewhat complicated situation. I would definitely recommend working with her for your childcare needs and i hope she will be able to continue working with us too!”

Aisha $45 per hour for 1 child

Hi families, I’m Aisha, a child therapist, expressive arts practitioner, and lifelong caregiver with decades of experience supporting children, teens, families, animals, plants, and community. My approach is caring, connective, attuned, expressive, and deeply imaginative. I specialize in helping children feel safe, engaged, emotionally supported, and genuinely seen. I love integrating art, nature, imagination, sensory play, emotional regulation tools, and gentle structure into time spent together. In addition to my clinical background, I’m also an artist and huge animal lover, so I’m very comfortable in homes with pets and happy to help care for furry family members too. Families often describe me as both gentle and strong, nurturing, attentive, intuitive, and highly trustworthy. I’m especially skilled with sensitive, creative, neurodivergent, queer, or emotionally expressive children, and I value building authentic relationships with both kids and parents. Available for babysitting, caregiving support, creative engagement, school pickups, evening care, and pet-friendly households. Looking forward to connecting 🌿

I’m comfortable managing daily routines, preparing meals and snacks, assisting with homework, driving children to activities, supporting nap and bedtime routines, and caring for multiple children at once. Safety is always my top priority. Families often describe me as caring, trustworthy, responsible, and easy to communicate with. My goal is to create a positive environment where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn every day. I look forward to connecting with 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."

"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."
