Claudia $28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Oakland, CA

Hello families and all! My name is Claudia, I am 24 years old and looking for my next family/families to support. I am a lover of all kinds; art, music, books, yoga, outdoor activities, and more. My friends describe me as outgoing, friendly, and a true “big sister” archetype. Throughout my life I have been a full time nanny for a range of ages, not only that but I have worked in preschools as well as before and afterschool program directing. Since moving to San Francisco, I established myself through working service jobs and getting to know the community more. And now I feel ready to establish myself within the nannying community as I don’t feel too new to the area anymore! With me as your nanny, caretaker, and familial support, I will not only nurture your child’s growth but I enjoy providing enrichment with art projects, music, and encouraging creativity in the mundane everyday. I am organized and great at keeping a schedule, and can help support you and your child’s schedules (ie: sleep, eating, sports or extra circulars, and more.) Not only that, but if comfortable with the family I am also willing to do fun field trips to the parks, beach, exploratorium or things of that nature! Contact me with more information of you and your child’s needs, and let’s see if we can become mutually beneficial supports to one another!

Katia $33 per hour for 1 child

Hello My name is Katia, and I would love the opportunity to support you and your children. I have experience teaching Spanish and math, as well as caring for children from 6-month-old babies to school-age kids. I genuinely enjoy creating a warm, fun, and structured environment where children feel safe, engaged, and encouraged to grow. My current position is ending in mid June, so I’m looking for a new full-time role. I am also a student and attend classes in the evenings, which allows me to be fully available during the day. I’m responsible, patient, and dependable, and I would be happy to share references from the families I’ve worked with. If you feel I might be a good fit for your family, I’d love to talk more about your needs and schedule. Please feel free to reach out anytime.

"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."
