Mika 1 review
$48 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Oakland, CA

Hi all! I’m Mika, a 28-year-old SF native with over 10 years of professional childcare experience. What started as regular babysitting in my teens evolved into a well-rounded career in childcare - including teaching swim, working at preschools, managing summer camps with 25+ kids, and full-time nannying. I have experience with every stage from newborn to preteen, as well as neurodivergent and physically disabled children - i’m prepared and excited for any situation! I'm truly passionate about fostering healthy development in a fun, loving environment. I view my role as working with families to create a cohesive team, for the best possible care. I’m flexible, punctual, a clear communicator, creative (I attended arts school for 9 years!), and worldly (dual US/Swedish citizen). Most importantly, I bring a warm, caring energy to everything I do and would love the chance to meet you and your little one(s)!

“We hit the jackpot with Mika. Our first interaction was a last minute babysitting gig that turned into over two years of working together. Us moving and no longer being able to work with Mika will greatly impact our family. Communication is incredibly important to any parent who doesn’t get to see what is going on throughout the day. In my case, I was this parent while my husband worked from home. Although my husband was in the next room, both of us were continually looped into the day with updates, photos and shared location which were all her idea. Mika’s energy & ability to stay engaged seems boundless. Whether it’s the various activities she dreams up, facilitating socialization with other children, learning new words, or working with puzzles, she has her entire focus and attention on the moment. Her being a native to San Francisco has helped with exploring spaces that we had never thought to visit. It would be easy to tailor a child’s day to just neighborhood playground visits but our sons day is filled with so much more. Any family would be incredibly lucky to work with Mika.”

I’m based in the Marina in San Francisco and offer reliable, compassionate childcare, babysitting, dog walking, and pet sitting services. With a professional background in client relations and communication, I understand the importance of trust, dependability, and creating meaningful connections with families and pets alike.

In addition to my experience with my younger sister, I have experience with the elderly. In high school I volunteered with them. I read and did a variety of activities. I’m also an experienced dog owner. I grew up with dogs and also have had them in my adult life. I believe my years of experience coupled with my degree in communication makes me uniquely qualified.

"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."
