Booked by 3 families in Oakland, CA

Hi there! My name is Shanel. I have experience with all ages as I’ve worked in daycares and worked with many different families who have had children of different ages ranging from 0 to 15. I also have a lot of experience with children who have mental or physical disabilities. My responsibilities thus far having been driving, homework help, crafts/indoor activities, outdoor activities, overnight help or babysitting, preparing meals, bottle feeding, bedtime routines, changing diapers or bath time and hosting play dates. I’ve also done live in care for over two years. I’m able to offer senior care, pet care and household care/errands as I’ve taken care of both my grandparents and have had many different pets of my own. I can cook, clean, do laundry, drive, organize etc. I am CPR certified and a non-smoker. I have my California drivers license, I also have my own car.

“Shanel was everything we needed in a babysitter. She regularly cared for our younger son from age 4 months to 1 year. She was reliable, efficient, and most importantly, very caring and nurturing to our son. She did everything from bottles and nap time to solid foods and activities for his development. She would sometimes care for our 4 year old son as well, and could manage both very well. She has no problem getting down on the floor to read, play, talk and sing. We would use Shanel again and highly recommend her.”

College Educated & Experienced Babysitter Hi, I'm Jessica! I'm a 28-year-old Cal Poly grad with 9+ years of babysitting and nannying experience, including two summers as a full-time nanny. I'm the "fun babysitter who gets things done". Kids get my full attention and energy, and parents come home to a calm, organized house. What I bring to your family: -AP level homework help (math, science, English, etc.) -Activity driven babysitting (screen time is proven to slow down imagination and learning, let’s keep your kids active with playing and activities) -Competitive soccer & tennis background (also I love playing any sport and can help your kid practice) -Meal prep, cooking, organizing, and tidying up! -Drives to activities & appointments -Pet-sitting included -References gladly provided (I just set up my profile so my references will be on my profile soon) I treat every child with kindness, respect, and full attention, creating a safe, supportive environment they'll look forward to.

“Jessica babysat for our two kids (6 and 10 at the time) for about 5 months, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was fantastic with both of them despite their age gap. She was patient and playful with our younger one, while keeping our 10-year-old engaged and even helping with homework. She kept them active and off screens, which we really appreciated, and always left the house calm and tidy. She’s reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about the kids’ wellbeing. We’d recommend her to any family without hesitation.”

"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."
