Angui

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Oakland, CA

Hi there! My name is Angui. I’m originally from Colombia, and I’m 31 years old. I have almost four years of childcare experience. I first worked as an au pair for two years, and then as a nanny for a family in Montclair for another two years. In both roles, I cared for babies and young children. I currently work with a sweet 9-month-old baby on Thursdays. During our days together, we go for walks, I prepare and feed her meals, and we do tummy time and age-appropriate activities to help her build strength and develop her crawling skills. We also enjoy getting out of the house and spending time with other babies and nannies in the area. I also volunteer in the nursery at my church once a month, which I really enjoy. A few additional things about me: • Valid driver’s license, clean driving record, and my own reliable car • Authorized to work in the U.S. • Fingerprinted • CPR certified • Up-to-date vaccinations • MinistrySafe Child Sexual Abuse Awareness Training certified • Excellent references and recommendations • Available to provide occasional or vacation coverage for families who already have a nanny Right now, I’m focusing on my studies and building my career, so I’m looking for a part-time nanny opportunity in the Piedmont area and surrounding areas. I’d especially love to connect with families who need childcare for one or more days a week, or moms who need a few hours to themselves—to run errands, work, rest, or simply have some time for self-care—while knowing their little one is safe, loved, and well cared for. I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident with the person caring for their baby. My goal is to provide not only reliable and attentive childcare, but also peace of mind for parents. If you’re looking for someone who can become a trusted part of your family’s support system, I’d love to connect! Please feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to chat and learn more about what you’re looking for. 😊

Kathy $24 per hour for 1 child

l am currently a college student with a strong background in caregiving, stemming from my domestic upbringing and experiences. As the oldest of four, I helped my parents take care of my three younger siblings, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how to handle different age groups and personalities. I also have experience caring for my grandmother, where I help her with daily tasks, keep her company, and ensure she feels safe and supported. Through these experiences, I've learned how important it is to be dependable, kind, and attentive. I'm very friendly, organized, and proficient at multitasking. I value myself as someone others can rely on and trust. I have limited experience with pets, including cats and dogs, but I'm very willing to learn and follow instructions. Overall, my background has helped me develop strong caregiving skills, and I genuinely enjoy helping others. This lets me bring a positive attitude, strong work ethic, and a caring approach to everything I do.

I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers in both professional and home settings. I also have experience working with elementary and middle school aged children as a nanny.

I am looking for a nannying job while I am pursuing my bachelors degree.

"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."
