Scarlett $23 per hour for 1 child

I am a college student home for break in Berkeley. I have been working as a gymnastics coach for Cal since summer 2023 for ages 2-13. Throughout my high school experience, I participated in musical theater productions, danced broadway style jazz, and led at 3 board positions for a Jewish Youth Group. I previously fostered cats through Hopalong Animal Rescue. I can drive to run errands or pick up from school. I love nature, crafting, and music!

Alisha $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Alisha, and I’d love the opportunity to help your family. I have five years of experience working in schools with younger children, and as one of six siblings, I’m very familiar with managing different moods, busy schedules, and unexpected situations. Early mornings, cooking breakfast, and keeping things running smoothly are second nature to me. I’m currently working toward my CNA license and I’m trained in basic life support. I’m comfortable with meal prepping, light housekeeping, and picking up the kids—as long as you’re okay with me taking the bus for now. Just a quick note: I’m afraid of cats, but dogs are completely fine with me. For personal reasons, I’m not vaccinated, but I’m more than willing to take a weekly COVID test and wear a mask if that makes you feel more comfortable. I’d truly love the chance to help if you’ll have me. References: Jazmana Yarnway +1 [removed] J’ella (415) 573-9664

Yasmin $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Yasmin and I’m a freelance Caregiver. I’m looking to give your child the patience, understanding, and care they deserve. I have experience in seasonal daycare work, drop off/pickup, housekeeping, and animal care. Though I’ve only recently started in professional childcare, the joy I’ve felt from working with young ones has left me determined to immerse myself in the profession. I have experience working with children between the ages of 4 months- 5 years old. I’m interested in working with children of all ages and all developmental stages. Outside of work, I’m passionate about working outside in the garden, nature-based crafts, handiwork, and making creative seasonal and foraged meals. If you feel this aligns with your child and their schedule, I’d be more than happy to share my passions in whatever way you see fit. Thank you so much for taking the time to read, and I’m looking forward to talking!

Booked by 2 families in Oakland, CA

Hello! I’m a nurturing, compassionate caregiver with a lifetime of experience caring for children, adults, and seniors. I am mom of three wonderful adults, with a degree in nursing (BS from UVA) and experience as an art director. Over the years, I’ve cared for people of all ages, from babysitting to working in children’s rehabilitation and autism support. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and recently trained as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). I’ve also cared for seniors, recently supporting my own father through his dementia journey. With two cats and a lifelong love for animals, I’m equally at home with pets. Beyond caregiving, I enjoy ceramics, painting, and outdoor activities. I bring warmth, reliability, and a genuine love for people of all ages. I’d be honored to support your family—please reach out with any questions!

Booked by 1 family in Oakland, CA

Hi! My name is Angie, and I’m 29 years old and based in Oakland.💗 I’m currently looking for babysitting and nannying opportunities throughout the East Bay. I have childcare experience from helping care for my younger siblings from the newborn stage as they grew up, along with a few babysitting jobs here and there. I’m patient, caring, dependable, and attentive, and I really enjoy creating a safe and comfortable environment for children. I’m also a pet caregiver through Rover 🐾 , so I’m very comfortable with dogs, cats, and other pets in the home. I’m currently pretty flexible with my availability and open to occasional babysitting, date nights, on call care, or a more consistent schedule. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and see if I’d be a good fit!💕

"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."
