Booked by 9 families in Orinda, CA

Hi families! My name is Tatiana, and I have over 4 years of experience working with kids. Most of my time as a nanny has been focused on caring for little ones between 6 months and 5 years old, but I’ve also worked with older kids from 5 to 13 years old, helping with everything from playtime and meals to homework and routines. I’ve had the chance to work with different families in the Bay Area, both full-time and occasionally, and I truly enjoy being part of each child’s growth. I love creating moments where they feel safe, supported, and free to be themselves. I always do my best to bring calm, positive energy into the home, and to be someone both kids and parents can count on. ✨ A few things about me: • I’m patient, loving, and responsible • I adapt easily to new routines and family needs • I’m very committed and always show up with my full heart • I speak English and Spanish • I’m Covid vaccinated, have first aid training, I’m a non-smoker, and a safe driver I’m currently open to occasional babysitting jobs, and I’m happy to do interviews or calls before starting so we can get to know each other. I can also share references from the families I’ve worked with, who can tell you more about my experience and the kind of support I offer. I’d love the chance to meet your family and support you whenever you need an extra hand!

“So communicative and kind! Kids loved her! ”

Booked by 5 families in Orinda, CA

Hi there! My name is Kennedy, and I am a professional nanny and Cal alum. I bring 9 1/2 years of childcare experience, including 5 years as a childcare attendant at the Bay Club gym, where I cared for children of all ages from newborns to teens. During my time there, I created and led engaging, age-appropriate activities for toddlers and school-aged children, supported infants, and also provided babysitting services for member families outside of the gym. For the past 4 1/2 years, I've worked as a nanny for numerous families, with a primary focus on infant and toddler care, while also caring for older children (part-time and occasionally). I'm fully vaccinated, CPR certified, have a driver's license, a reliable car, and experience safely driving children. I also have strong references and a deep passion for nurturing and supporting children's growth through every developmental stage! I truly love what I do and feel honored to be a part of each child's journey. :-) Thank you for taking the time to read about me and for your consideration!

Booked by 26 families in Orinda, CA

CURRENTLY OUT OF TOWN Hello! My name is Katya and I have been taking care of kids for over 10 years. I am comfortable caring for babies and children 6 months and older. I have completed 3 Early Childhood Education courses at Merritt College: 1.) Childhood Development 2.) The Child, the Family and the Community 3.) Infant and Toddler Care With children I enjoy neighborhood park excursions, reading, drawing 🎨ballet dancing 🩰and playing in gardens with sticks bugs and leaves 🌿🐞🪵🍃. I am dedicated to empowering children to identify and express their emotions and to be curious about the world around them. I would describe myself as calm, introverted and low-key. However, I am very comfortable setting boundaries with children when needed and using firm but positive reminders about house rules and playing/sharing gently with siblings ☺️ I have a Masters degree from San Francisco State University in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. I am a Bay Area native and prefer getting bookings in San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley or Albany :) While I do live in Oakland, I am a pro at getting quickly by public transit to SF 🚂🚍👍 and always give myself plenty of time.

"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."
