Hi, my name is Telice and I’m a patient, caring, and dependable babysitter with experience working with children from newborns through high school. As a former educator, dancer, and gymnastics coach, I’m comfortable supporting children at different developmental stages and creating a safe, positive environment where they can express themselves. I also love reading, playing, getting creative, helping with homework, and encouraging imaginative play. I’m comfortable working with children with a wide range of personalities, learning styles, and support needs, and I strive to meet each child where they are. I’m responsible, attentive, and playful, with reliable transportation and an open schedule. I’m available for both occasional and recurring care and would love the opportunity to support your family!

“I hired Telice to help as a contractor for my friend’s housekeeping business. She was very professional and has good communication, she responded promptly to my request. Her duties were to help with a large move-out clean. She was an incredible worker. She arrived promptly with an amazing attitude and attention to detail. She works very efficiently and was able to get all of her task completed and even helped out with additional work as well. Telice was a pleasure to work with and my friend is looking forward to working with her again. ”

Booked by 29 families in Oakland, CA

Hello there! I'm Haley, an experienced childcare worker with four years of experience. I'm currently seeking a full-time nanny role or a part-time position. My experience includes teaching infant and toddler classrooms at a daycare, occasional work with older kids, and tutoring at the high school and college level. I studied Data Science at UC Berkeley, and worked as a lab assistant in computer science and data science courses. I can also assist with meal prep and cooking. As a nanny, creating a safe and nurturing environment is my priority. I enjoy my work because I can watch kids grow and develop into amazing human beings, and being a part of that process is so invaluable. Outside of childcare, I like being outdoors or cooking for friends and family. If you're looking for someone to join your family, my inbox is open to messages. I would love to chat with you!

“Haley is fantastic. She did great with my gifted and neurodivergent child.”

"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."
