Siniva $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Siniva, and I’m a 21-year-old Pacific Islander who absolutely loves spending time with kids and helping families. I come from a big family, so being around children has always been a natural and joyful part of my life. I’m very family-oriented and believe in building strong, loving relationships with the people I care for. I’m passionate about creating a fun, safe, and positive environment for kids to learn and grow. I also gained valuable experience caring for and teaching children of all ages in the Pacific Islands for 18 months. Through that experience, I learned patience, responsibility, and the importance of kindness and connection. I’d love the opportunity to bring that same energy and care to your family

Hi Families, My name is Ana Cristina, I am an experienced nanny and a full-time student pursuing a degree in Early Childhood Education. Past families have described me as extremely reliable, proactive, kind, and firm but fun — someone who brings structure while keeping children happy, supported, and thriving. I take a calm, nurturing, and professional approach to every family I work with, balancing clear boundaries with warmth and play. I strive to create a safe and loving environment where children feel confident, curious, and supported in their growth — helping families feel confident and at ease knowing their children are in caring hands. What I’m Currently Looking For • Part-time position (single family or nanny share) • Long-term role (ideally one year or longer) • Flexibility — I have class every Tuesday until 12:05 PM (January–May) • $30/hr starting rate on payroll.

What I Offer • Up-to-date vaccinations • CPR/BLS and TrustLine Certified • Safe Sleep Certification • Water Safety Certification • Starting Solids Certification (in progress) • Newborn Care Specialist Certification (in progress) • Reliable vehicle with a clean driving record. • Household support related to children (laundry, tidying, meal prep) • Experience with sleep training, potty training, and starting solids. • Fluent in English and Portuguese. With my ongoing education and hands-on experience, I provide attentive, structured, and developmentally appropriate care. I have a strong understanding of child development and milestones, and I focus on helping children reach them through consistent routines, positive guidance, and engaging activities. If you feel as if we’d be a good fit, please reach out and we can set up a time to connect.

Natalie $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m Noa, a 24-year-old working as an instructional aid at an ousd preschool! I bring a bilingual, whimsical, and holistic touch to caregiving. My caregiving style is very patient, intuitive, and child-led. I’m highly experienced with neurodivergent children and understand how important it is to provide a calm, low-pressure environment. I worked as a 1:1 paraeducator for a tk student with autism+PDA and absolutely loved it! I’m completely comfortable letting kids take the lead whether that means jumping into their favorite games, giving them space for quiet parallel play, or using collaborative problem solving to help navigate daily routines. Growing up on a ranch in the Imperial Valley surrounded by a rich Mexican culture, I was raised with a true farm-to-table mindset. I even learned how to bake bread before I ever got a cell phone! I love bringing that passion for cooking and gardening into my daily care, nurturing each child's whole self through creative play, patience, and mindful support.

Eunice $36 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Eunice, and I’m a professional nanny and household manager with a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education and a minor in Special Education. I bring a thoughtful, developmentally informed approach to childcare, with experience caring for children from infancy through school age. I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel supported, understood, and confident to grow. I believe every child is unique, and I take the time to observe their interests and needs in order to guide learning through play, routine, and consistency. I value structure while remaining flexible and responsive to each child’s individual temperament. In my experience, children thrive when they feel secure and respected. I focus on building strong connections, supporting emotional regulation, and encouraging independence in age-appropriate ways. Whether it’s planning enriching activities, facilitating social outings, or supporting daily routines, I approach each day with intention and care. Along with childcare, I am experienced in household support, including child-related laundry, meal prep, organizing, and maintaining a clean and calm environment. I work collaboratively with parents and value open, respectful communication, always aiming to support the overall well-being of the family. Families would describe me as calm, reliable, attentive, and proactive. I take pride in being someone you can trust to care for your children with both professionalism and genuine warmth. I am currently seeking a long-term position in the East Bay and would love the opportunity to support a family in a meaningful and lasting way

"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."
