Saidi $30 per hour for 1 child

I have a strong background in caring for children and supporting seniors with patience, compassion, and respect. As a mother, I have hands-on experience caring for my child, understanding children’s needs, creating a safe environment, and supporting their emotional and educational development. I have also helped care for my elderly family member, which taught me the importance of kindness, attention, and dignity when assisting seniors. My qualifications include experience in hospitality, customer service, and working with people from different backgrounds. These experiences helped me develop strong communication skills, responsibility, organization, and the ability to stay calm in different situations. My personality traits that make me a great caregiver are being caring, patient, reliable, trustworthy, and a good listener. I pay attention to details and I always try to make people feel comfortable, respected, and valued. My talents include connecting easily with people, providing emotional support, helping with daily needs, and creating a positive and safe atmosphere. I believe caregiving is more than just helping someone—it is about building trust, showing compassion, and making a meaningful difference in someone’s life.

Martina $30 per hour for 1 child

Childcare & household assistance * I’m Martina, with 2 years of professional childcare experience with children ages 2–6. I’m also happy to care for babies. * For the last two years, I cared for two boys between 2 and 5, from the bottle-and-diaper stage to driving them to preschool and activities, swimming, skiing, biking, cooking, and spending lots of time outdoors. * I’m open to a family/household assistant role and would love to be a reliable extra pair of hands, helping with both the children and the household. About me * I’m 25, the oldest in my family, with 14 younger cousins and a younger sister, so caring for children has always felt natural to me. * I’m responsible and value open communication about everyone’s needs and expectations. * I respect each family’s rules and routines, while bringing my own ideas when welcome. * I love caring for others, introducing children to new experiences, and seeing that little spark in their eyes when they learn or discover something new. * I enjoy an active, healthy lifestyle, running, swimming, freestyle roller skating; I’m also interested in art and architecture. I’d love to start right away! Feel free to message me - maybe I’m exactly the nanny you’ve been looking for! 😊

Booked by 2 families in Oakland, CA

Hello, my name is Sarah and I am a recent graduate from U.C. Berkeley (class of 2024)! I studied Psychology and Education with an interest to pursue teaching and/or going into the health field. Although I have experience working with children from ages <1 to 6th grade, I feel most comfortable caring for children 2nd grade and below due to my bubbly nature. Don't let this scare you, as I can be very stern with boundaries and expectations that I am expected to enforce. For your kiddos in elementary school, I believe my background in being an afterschool program teacher will allow me to create all sorts of fun crafts for your little ones for mental stimulation! As for pets, I currently am a mother of 2 bunnies and an auntie of one dog. I have experience changing litter, cleaning and refilling water bowls, feeding schedules, walks, and giving your fur babies some attention on the side! Household services I have work experience in would include sanitization, sweeping, mopping, organization, and dishes. Though, I have personal experience with other household chores as well. I would love to gain your trust as a sitter, so please reach out to me for further questions! Hope to hear from you soon! Other important details: I am CPR/First Aid Certified, I have my food handlers certificate, I have volunteered in a daycare setting for 2 consecutive summers and have worked with children from TK to 6th grade for 2+ years.

"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."
