Hello everyone! :) My name is Passhun and I am 22 years old. I love and adore working with kids and have been working with children as a paraprofessional/babysitter for almost four years. Some of my favorite things about working with kids is being able to see their progress and growth and building meaningful bonds. I have experience working 10 month olds-13year olds. I love to do arts and crafts, dance, and do puzzles with the kids I work with. I can also do a few chores such as cooking, cleaning, and running errands. I am also CPR/First Aid certified. If you have any questions for me, please feel free to reach out!

“Passhun was prompt, respectful, and great with my 18-month son. When I got home, my son was engaged, calm, and seemed to be having a good time. I will be hiring her for future babysitting needs!”

Booked by 13 families in Oakland, CA

Hi, my name is Allie and I just rejoined UrbanSitter after some time away. I work full time at a fertility clinic in SF, but have extra free time in the mornings, evenings and weekends. I have always loved working with children and have over 10 years of experience babysitting kids of all ages (newborns to teenagers) and am confident caring for multiple children at a time. I’m totally comfortable changing diapers, giving baths, cooking basic meals, cleaning up around the house, folding laundry, helping with homework, etc. I also have my own car that I am happy to use for pick ups/drop offs. I am currently only available to babysit on an occasional basis, whether you need a sitter for date night, to run errands or to fill in for a primary nanny. Please let me know if you have any questions or want to chat on the phone!

“Super sweet, reliable, sharp and the girls took to her right away. Bed, bath, dinner were flawless. Would 100% use 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."
