Booked by 60 families in Oakland, CA

Hi, my name is Amber I graduated from Cal State East Bay. I majored in nursing. Now I am a Home health Nurse. I am 26 years old. I offer senior care and child services. I have been a caregiver for seniors for the past 5 years. I do companionship, bathing, feeding, appointments, grocery runs. I have been a nanny on and off for the past 6 years. I hope to work with kids in the near future in the medical field, so it’s been a great experience working with kids and just seeing how to react around them and how kids are and how patient we have to be when we are around them and they could teach you so many things and I love working with kids. I am a very outdoors person. I love hiking and I also love to read. I also speak 5 languages.

“Ambar was amazing with my baby girl. She arrived earlier than scheduled time, was very professional and respectful. Baby was very calm and happy with Ambar. Throughout the time Ambar was singing to her, reading to her and playing with her. I would hire Ambar again in a heartbeat!”

Hi, my name is Livia, I’m currently a baby-sitter for 2 kids, and I love them. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, and toddlers since I was 18 years old. My responsibilities have included -driving to/from school -crafts, tutoring - feeding - bathing - cleaning after the kids - bedtime

“Livia was lovely! She has a calming energy and took great care of our little one, even persevering through some initial separation anxiety. She arrived a little late due to unforeseen traffic, but was professional and thoughtful in communicating with us to let us know. Would definitely hire her again. Thanks, Livia.”

"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."
