Booked by 1 family in Oakland, CA

Nurturing young minds is my passion, and I've dedicated the last 13 years to providing enriching care for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I hold a college degree in education, multiple child development courses, up to date first aid and CPR certification, and have experience as a birth and postpartum doula. My duties vary depending on the child needs, age, family needs, but most importantly is to focus on the child’s well being and to create a safe, fun, and stimulating environment where they can thrive. I am comfortable caring for up to three children. I love engaging kids with outdoor activities, libraries, play grounds, museums, zoo. In most of my positions I have been required to drive, which I am happy to provide as well, and have excellent references. My goal is to support your family, and I look forward to building a caring relationship with your children!

Katarina $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Katarina, a recent UC Berkeley graduate, and I’m excited to offer childcare, pet care, and household help! I currently work as an assistant teacher at Glenview Elementary with TK and kindergarten students. I absolutely love working with younger kids and find it easy to connect with them and create an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and heard. My responsibilities include helping with lesson planning, supervising recess and snack time, assisting with activities, and keeping kids engaged through play and learning. I also have experience as a household assistant and am happy to help with cooking, cleaning, organizing, grocery shopping, and other errands. I have a driver’s license and my own car, so I’m also available to drive children to activities, school, or appointments and take care of errands. I’m also happy to provide pet care! I’ve cared for friends’ pets and am comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and giving pets plenty of attention and companionship. I’m responsible, caring, creative, and hands-on, and I’d love to help make your family’s day a little easier!

Booked by 79 families in Oakland, CA

Hello parents! I have been working with children since I was 14. I have been a camp counselor, a swim instructor aide, a lifeguard and a nursery care provider. I have current CPR/AED and first aid training as well as infant and child CPR training. I have experience with children of all ages. I love spending time with kids because they are so much fun and have boundless energy. When I take care of kids I love to play games, do arts and crafts, or anything else that keeps them active! I am also available to help with pets, light household chores, or any other things as needed. In my spare time I love reading, music movies, and spending time with friends. :) Please feel free to ask me any questions!

“Chloe is so good with my 5 month old baby and I have every confidence in her as a sitter. She is in-sync with the baby's needs and cues, and she seems to genuinely enjoy him, which is the most important factor for me. As another has stated, she makes observations about the baby's development and behavior, which shows her involvement and interest. And even when my baby was overtired and screaming and taking a whole hour to go down for his nap, Chloe was able to handle it in stride, knowing that it was "nobody's fault" but rather something that just goes along with caring for babies.. She is quick to respond via message and text, and she is punctual. I also appreciate her personality- she's direct, confident, and has a wry sense of humor, but not in an angry way. I'm looking forward to using her again. ”

"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."
