Shyanne 2 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Oakland, CA

Hi, I’m Shyanne! I’m a dedicated nanny and caregiver with seven years of experience working with children ranging from newborns to teens. I was born and raised in Washington state and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in July 2022 to continue my career in childcare and further my education. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of age groups, including infants, toddlers, school age children, and teens. I truly value creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can grow physically, emotionally, and cognitively. I love planning activities that spark imagination and encourage exploration, whether that’s outdoor play, creative arts and crafts, reading together, or helping with homework. I’m also happy to support families with light cooking, basic tutoring, routines, and age appropriate developmental activities. I am currently a full-time nanny for two wonderful children, ages 2 and 5, and I’m looking to offer additional support on weekends and during early mornings.

Booked by 3 families in Oakland, CA

Hi! I have a Master of Health Administration degree from the University of Washington. I leverage my academic work as a full-time as a Consultant, where I assist healthcare systems with strategy and finances. I also teach at CorePower Yoga part-time, as I am passionate about collaborating with clients on their healthcare journeys. I am looking to be a babysitter, as I enjoy working with families and children. I babysat in my hometown in Seattle, as well as in Chicago, serving as testaments that I can collaborate and serve diverse families in various regions. I would pick the children up from school, help with reading comprehension, homework, and arts and crafts. I used to be a nursing assistant, so I have direct care experience in helping children and proving direct care. I am CPR and AED certified. I have been working with elderly and children for about four years. Additionally, I have experience in engaging in housekeeping and other errand activities, such as ordering groceries, cooking, and cleaning. In my free time, I run and train marathons; recently qualified to run the Chicago Marathon in October 2025. I also enjoy snowboarding and walking around the parks. Reading, journaling, and travel are also important hobbies of mine! I look forward to hearing from you!

“Alyssa was very responsive, punctual, and went above and beyond taking excellent care of Playa.”

Mariana $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Mariana. I’m open to full/part time care opportunities. I am also available for occasional sitting so please reach out for availability. I have prior experience working at licensed care facilities for UCSF and Salesforce but am looking to transition to personal care after some time off. I am passionate about early childhood education and providing one on one care will allow me to dedicate more time to interact and engage with your child. I also enjoy sharing age appropriate arts and crafts, reading and visiting nearby parks and libraries if permitted. I have prior experience managing daily care needs such as, preparing snacks and following any dietary guidelines set by parents and care givers, changing diapers and assisting with potty training and following nap schedules. In addition to maintaining a safe and nurturing environment, I am open to helping with light household tasks during downtimes and keeping things tidy. I’m like to keep open communication with parents and caregivers to provide the best care and support. Happy to answer any other questions. Best, Mariana

"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."
