Merlot $40 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Orinda, CA

Hi! I’m a UC Berkeley psychology student who genuinely loves working with kids. I’ve been tutoring students since fifth grade and have spent years caring for my younger cousin (now 7) and her friends. I currently serve as a National Next Gen Advisor for NAMI and as a UCLA Family Advisory Board Member, where I’ve had the opportunity to advocate for children, teens, and families. Those experiences have taught me the importance of patience, communication, and helping every child feel seen, heard, and supported. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, have a valid driver’s license, and am a non-smoker. I’m happy to help with homework, meal prep, bedtime routines, pets, and anything else that helps make your day a little easier. One thing that’s really important to me is being present. I believe some of the best parts of childhood happen when we’re reading books, baking cookies, building forts, playing outside, doing crafts, making up silly games, or simply talking about our day. While I’m always happy to follow your family’s routines, I try to keep screen time to a minimum because I’d much rather spend that time making memories, encouraging curiosity, and helping kids build confidence. More than anything, I hope to be someone your children feel excited to see and someone you feel completely comfortable trusting with the people who matter most to you. I speak English, Spanish, and Farsi. I am open to learning more languages and find it important to celebrate cultures and learn more about them. Looking forward to connecting :)

Lillian $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Lillian, and I’m a caring, energetic, and reliable sitter with experience working with kids, pets, and families of all kinds. Growing up, I coached a soccer team for kids ages 5-9, which taught me patience, creativity, and how to keep kids engaged and having fun. I’ve also babysat children of various ages, so I understand how to adapt to different personalities and needs. In addition, I’ve cared for both dogs and cats, so I’m more than happy to help out with your furry family members. I pride myself on being responsible, organized, and warm, creating a safe and nurturing environment for kids to thrive in. Whether it’s playing games, helping with homework, or preparing meals, I always aim to bring a positive attitude and a sense of fun to every task. I’d love to help make your day easier by providing excellent care for your little ones! Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’m excited to work with your family!

“Jane was a fabulous caregiver to my 2.5 year old son! We hired Jane to watch our son for 1.5 weeks (M-F) while his preschool was on a break, and we couldn't recommend her enough! She was attentive, punctual, kind, and high energy, taking our son on all sorts of outings, from the zoo to museums. She also tidied up around the kitchen/playroom while he was taking his nap. We will definitely be working with Jane again!”

"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."
