Booked by 7 families in Oakland, CA

Hi families! My name is Yasmin. I am a 30 year old childcare professional with 10 years of experience. My passion for working with children began at home as the oldest of four siblings–my youngest brother is only 7, and watching them grow has been a inspiration for my career. My professional journey began in 2017 during an exchange program in Switzerland, where I cared for a child from birth through age two. I later moved to the U.S. as an Au Pair, caring for three girls (ages 16 months, 4, and 6). Since then, I’ve continued working with families while consistently building and improving my skills. I am a certified postpartum doula and maintain CPR/First Aid certification for infants and children every two years. I have hands-on experience with feeding, diapering, and soothing newborns, including overnight care as a nighttime nanny. I’m also confident caring for babies who are learning to crawl or walk, and I enjoy encouraging their development through gentle play and interaction. In addition, I have experience with toddlers and school-aged children, supporting everything from potty training and homework help to meal prep and bedtime routines. I’ve also worked with children on the autism spectrum. I would love to bring my experience, flexibility, and positive energy to your family. I’m pet-friendly and have a valid driver’s license. I look forward to connecting with you!

“Yasmin was great with our 4-year-old daughter. Our usually shy daughter was sad when Yasmin had to leave and ran up to give her a big hug goodbye. Highly recommend.”

Booked by 3 families in Oakland, CA

Hi! My name is Jenice and I’m a student at UC Berkeley. I absolutely love being around kids and have over 6 years of experience watching ages 2 months-10 years old. I also have both a 2 year old and newborn baby sister so I'm very comfortable caring for little ones! I’m happy to provide a reference from a family I've worked with for 2 years (2 year old, 5 year old). My responsibilities have included picking up/driving to school and extracurriculars, keeping them entertained at home or going out, tutoring/homework help, and morning/bedtime routines including meals. I’m very attentive and always carry a positive and empathetic attitude. I love to play imaginatively, do crafts, play sports, go to the park, watch movies, and play board games, or anything else they enjoy within their parents boundaries. I love to lend a helping hand and can clean/cook as well! I’m a huge animal lover and have 3 dogs! So I'd love to dog walk/pet sit too!

I’m a caring, dependable, and patient caregiver who genuinely enjoys helping others and creating a safe, positive environment. I have experience caring for children and understand the importance of patience, attentiveness, consistency, and clear communication with families. I’m responsible, organized, trustworthy, and comfortable helping with daily routines, meal preparation, light household tasks, transportation, and keeping children engaged in age-appropriate activities. I also have experience working with people from diverse backgrounds and always treat every family with kindness and respect. Safety is very important to me, and I am HIPAA and Bloodborne Pathogens certified. Families can count on me to be reliable, compassionate, and attentive to their individual needs

“Rahel is my aunt. I am currently staying with her. She is very caring and clean as well. Her strongest trait is her compassion and how she is very attentive to everyone around her. She is a mother as well and my cousin is very well taken care off in every way. She is also balanced and organized as she is very effective in setting and making sure her son is productive. She is also receptive to suggestions and consistent in her work. I strongly recommend anyone in consideration of her service to not even think twice.”

"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."
