Hi! My name is Bella, and I’m 27 years old with 11 years of experience caring for children from infants to tweens. I’ve also previously worked with young children as a youth soccer coach. I’m a fun, reliable, and kind sitter who would love to support your family with either occasional or routine care. I’m comfortable assisting with household tasks such as laundry, meal prep, light cleaning, and pet care, and I have my own car to help with transportation as needed. I work a corporate role in Digital Merchandising during the week (Monday–Friday) but am available on weekends, evenings, and occasionally during the day. I’d be happy to answer any questions and am open to scheduling a phone interview or meeting in person. Looking forward to connecting with you! 😊
Hi everyone! I’m a warm and reliable nanny with 3 years of experience and genuine love caring for babies and small children. I’m patient, calm, and very attentive. I keep your baby safe, by being nurturing, and creating an engaging environment. I’m comfortable with feedings, sleep routines, and play that supports their development. I like going on walks as it is a great way to change up the vibe or setting. I also love to stay active and babies tend to sleep in their stroller. Additionally, I’m also good at household related tasks like meal prepping, tidying or preparing lunch boxes. (For those just looking for an hour or 2 of help around the house.) I value communication and follow your style and preferences. I aim my best to provide updates so you feel connected while you’re away. I’m so excited to connect with you and learn more about your family/home— please feel free to message me and I will answer as soon as my schedule allows me to! Thank you!
Hi! Thank you for the opportunity to apply, here’s a little about me: I am a recent graduate with a degree in liberal arts - behavioral and social sciences and am in the process of pursuing my second degree. In my free time, I enjoy painting and hiking! I also have over five years paid experience caring for infants, children ages 4-13 and for multiple children at a time (two-four). I am proficient in tasks such as preparing/feeding meals, nap time routine, pick up and drop off to and from school/activities, and establishing fun activities to keep child(ren) engaged and learning new things. I have neurodivergent experience as well and was a treatment analyst for over 3 years for those with autism and ADHD. I absolutely love kids and am super open minded when it comes to any given task. I look forward to hearing from you! P. S I'm also CPR certified :)
“Briana was great!”
Hi, I’m Lua. I’m a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) with CPR training and over 6 years of experience working with families in California. For the past year, I’ve been caring for a little girl who is now 2 years old — I started when she was 11 months. Being part of her daily routine and development during this stage has been very meaningful to me. I also have long-term experience with infants, twins, and siblings, and I’m grateful to still be in touch with the families I’ve worked with. I’m responsible, calm, and attentive, and I truly care about providing a safe and nurturing environment. Available to start in late March or April.
“We feel incredibly lucky to have had Luana as part of our family over the past year. She cared for our daughter from 11 months old through her 2nd birthday, and we truly cannot imagine a better caregiver. Luana is everything you hope for in a nanny. Loving, warm, patient, and deeply attentive. Our daughter adores her, and it was clear every day how genuinely she cared. She created a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment that gave us complete peace of mind. We trusted her entirely, which is the greatest gift a parent can receive. She is consistently punctual, reliable, and professional, while also bringing so much heart to her work. Beyond exceptional childcare, she went above and beyond in helping our household run smoothly, assisting with laundry, meal prep, and other chores without ever being asked. Her proactive, thoughtful nature made such a difference in our daily lives. Luana has become such an important part of our family, and we are truly sad to see her go. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have her. We recommend her wholeheartedly and without hesitation.”
Dear family : Thanks for taking the time to read my profile. I'm Jenny (Yanli), a college student at UC Berkeley currently. It's the 10-year babysitting experience that taught me self-parenting and to stay curious about everything. It's fun to explore new things and keep learning. From this mindset, my journey started at Berkeley Adult School for basic English in 2016 as an au pair, and then Berkeley City College for psychology& cognitive science from 2[removed](part-time), and now at UC Berkeley for Philosophy of Mind (2024-2026). While I'm in school, it's the love from the kids and parents that inspires me to move forward and keep learning. Now, I come back to play with kids since I miss the nature of kids and have extra time in my last semester in 2026 spring. Having taught kids art, acrylic painting, and DIY paper craft through this 10-year journey, I'm eager to keep exploring the creativity kids naturally have. I used to be an au Pair in 2016-2017 after I got training in New Jersey for one week about babysitting, as well as a CPR certificate and a first aid certificate from the American Red Cross. Regarding personality and lifestyle, I'm a big fan of yoga, love art so much. I'd love to go to nature with kids, do yoga together, and visit museums. Happy to share what I'd like to do with kids: 1. It's my great pleasure to teach yoga to kids if kids are interested in it. ( I'm a certified 200-hour yoga instructor from Yoga Alliance) 2. Paper craft, including origami paper craft and DIY holiday cards. 3. Acrylic painting with kids. ( I'm a self-taught acrylic painter who sells my artwork in Berkeley) 4. Read and teach art education, for instance, warm color, cold color, and color wheels. ( I self-taught to be a UX designer) 5. Teach Mandarin and Chinese songs. More artwork, welcome to visit my personal artwork showcase, designed by me.[removed] Also share I have a valid CA driver's licence and good records. Currently, I'm looking for a part-time job. Thanks for reading. I can't wait to talk to you in person. How about starting a video call soon? Have a nice day!
“Yanli looked after our 5-month-old daughter many times while we were living in Berkeley, and we felt incredibly lucky to have found her. After trying a few different sitters, Yanli stood out immediately. I have never seen a sitter give such undivided attention, warmth, and respect to the interests and intelligence of a baby. I trusted her right away and felt that she cared deeply about our daughter’s wellbeing and development. After just a few visits, our baby would smile and get excited when Yanli arrived. Yanli spoke to our baby in Mandarin, taught her songs, spent lots of time with her in nature, played music, and read many books with her. We also learned so much from Yanli, including gentle ways to put Naomi down without fussing. She is thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely gifted with babies. We would wholeheartedly recommend her.”

"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."
Michelle R., mom of two
"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."
Milena L., mom of two
"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."
Heather B., mom of two
