Booked by 2 families in Orinda, CA

Hello! I’m currently looking to offer support with child care, senior care, household help or pet services. I am located in Oakland! I have over 10 years of babysitting experience and recently became an aunt! I worked for 4 years in Vietnam teaching English and cooking classes to children of all ages! I also have more than 5 years of senior care experience. I cared for a senior neighbor during her final years, as well as my grandfather who lived with my family. I truly value spending time with seniors. Around the house, I’m happy to help with chores, organization, decluttering and cleaning — I love to bring some calm to a once hectic space! And as a pet parent to three cats, I love pets of all kinds. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning, playing or taking your pets for a walk, I’d enjoy doing it all. In my free time, I enjoy sewing, knitting, and working on DIY projects — I love anything creative and hands-on. I also make time for outdoor exercise, whether it’s hiking, biking, or just soaking up some sunshine. I look forward to meeting your family and helping make your day a little easier. Monica

“Extremely professional. Really helpful. Reliable and autonomous with appropriate level of inclusion”

Hi! My name is Yasmine. I have hands-on experience working with children as a daycare assistant, where I helped with daily routines like feeding, playtime, and nap schedules. I love creating a safe, caring, and fun environment where kids can feel supported and thrive. I'm currently taking a class to become a hairstylist and working on getting my CPR and First Aid certification. I'm always looking to grow and learn new skills—especially ones that help me care for others. In my free time, I enjoy going to the gym, reading, spending time with my family, and deepening my relationship with God. I also love animals and would be happy to help care for family pets! I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy caregiving—whether it’s for children, seniors, or pets. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and make your child’s day a little brighter!

“Yasmine is wonderful. She was so engaging and confident with our kids and jumped right in to get to know them and play with them. Our toddlers really loved having her here. And she tidied up our home too. She has a very calm and caring presence. We will definitely be reaching out to Yasmine again in the future.”

Tenzin 1 review
$40 per hour for 1 child

I'm a loving and patient nanny with over 12 years of experience caring for children from diverse backgrounds. I'm Tibetan born and raised in India and fluent in three languages, I focus on nurturing each child's unique personality with kindness and respect. Guided by my Buddhist values, I create a safe and positive environment where children feel loved and can grow at their own pace. My naturally friendly, patient, and creative personality allows me to connect easily with kids, creating a safe, warm, and engaging environment where they can thrive. I believe in open and honest communication with parents, and I'm always happy to provide updates in the way that works best for you-whether it's a quick text, a detailed conversation at the end of the day, or anything in between. I respect and follow household routines and rules while also encouraging children to explore their independence and express themselves freely.

“Tenzin is one of a kind and I have interviewed almost all of the nannies on urban sitter including on sight trial days with about 150 of the higly rated nannies. I am not kidding, I am very picky when it comes to child care... She is full of compassion, empathy and kindness. She comes home with full of positive energy every single day. She is very smart, emotionally very stable, she is extremely patient with kids. She makes every moment a fun, engaging and memorable moment with her creativity, positivity. She is full of positive energy. She turns tough moments into fun moments, It is hard to explain her greatness with these simple words... The world needs more people like Tenzin. If every child had a caregiver liked Tenzin the world would thrive!!! Tenzin makes exceptional expected. She is a baby charm, child magnet or what ever you call... She worked with us for 2 years, she raised my son with really good manners, she taught my son English and she raised my baby girl putting a lot of effort not to even make them get upset, not even close... Let your child meet her, spend time with her, it will make a huge difference, your child deserves this experience, it is much more full filling and much more fun then the Disneyland ;) I am surprise I am the first one to write her a review here on Urbansitter, she is very humble to ask for a review...”

Hello my name is Emma M. I have been living in the Bay Area for six years but I'm originally from Northern CA. I have experience with special need kids including those with cerebral palsy, pika, autism, and those needing full time care. Seeing kids with a range of capabilities through Ability First programs has opened up my view on how to support each individual child and family. Having taught elementary level summer school back North showed me how much I love to see kids grow. Most recently I've been with a family of six (three kids +dog) for 4 years. My responsibilities were wide including transporting to activities, housecleaning, grocery shopping, cooking meals, and of course caring/keeping the kids active and learning. This last school year I have worked for Three families consistently along with multiple need-based families in the Berkeley area. I have loved the experience it has brought me. With the summer approaching I'm transitioning from these beautiful families. I am eager to find a great fit to help for at least the next year or so. I'm very reliable and flexible so please leave and ask any questions you wish. Have a nice day! :)

“Our girls LOVED Emma. They had so much fun and afterward, our oldest was already asking when Emma could come back to watch them again. Highly recommend.”

Hi my name is Karla! I offer childcare, light household services, pet care and open to more! I love being a babysitter and enjoy everything that comes with it. From newborn, toddlers, I’ve been watching kids for more than 6 years and it’s something I really enjoy and am passionate about. I’m currently in college and hope to open my own daycare once I finish school. Driving to and from school or any other activities (sports,school events etc.,) arts and crafts, helping with homework are all some of my responsibilities. I also speak Spanish! I also can assist with household tasks like cooking, cleaning and running errands. I can also provide references upon request :)

"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."
