Booked by 1 family in Orinda, CA

Hello! I am Zaineb and currently a school based social worker. I am offering child care, pet care as well as household services. Ever since I was young, I have loved caring for children whether it was a sibling, older cousin or friend. I have been an educator in the public school system for the last 6 years working with kids from as little as kindergarten to seniors in high school. I enjoy playing games, doing crafts and most importantly, getting to know kids and their interests and hobbies. As a babysitter in the past, I have been responsible for after-school care, cooking meals and putting kids to bed. I am also happy to help out with household tasks like cooking, cleaning and running errands. I can also pet sit; I grew up caring for my family’s cat and currently live with 2 cats. I don’t have a lot of experience caring for other animals but am willing to learn!

Hi My name is Jennifer, I’m postpartum doula and infant care trained. I have been supporting families with newborn care, infants, toddlers and kids including twins. My responsibilities include baby feeding, diapering, playtime, meal prep, light house work, running errands, reading etc. I do love supporting families in creating a safe nurturing and fun environment for their little ones. And I have been doing this for over 5 years, caring for children of various ages. And I take pride in being reliable, patient and attentive to each child’s unique needs. As a mom myself, I understand how much trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and into your child’s life. I bring the same level of commitment and love to the families I work with and I would be honored to support yours. I have also been a certified nursing assistant and Home health aide for the last 2 years. I’m fully vaccinated and my CPR is up to date. Thank you.

Booked by 10 families in Orinda, CA

Hi, I’m Karina! 👋 I’m a professional nanny with over 6 years of childcare experience caring for children from newborns through 14 years old. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with infants, toddlers, school-aged children, multiples, and children with special needs, providing loving, dependable care that families can trust. I’m experienced with: • Newborn & infant care (bottle feedings, diaper changes, tummy time, developmental milestones) • Toddler care & preschool activities • School pick-ups/drop-offs & transportation • Homework assistance • Meal & snack preparation • Bedtime and nap routines • Sensory play, arts & crafts, outdoor adventures, reading, and educational activities • Children’s laundry, organization, and light household tasks related to the children I’m CPR & First Aid certified, have reliable transportation, and can provide my résumé, TrustLine registration, background check, references, and additional documentation upon request. ✨ I am currently actively accepting occasional babysitting, date nights, weekend care, and overnight newborn care when my schedule allows. I genuinely love building long-term relationships with families, but I’m equally happy to be your reliable go-to sitter for evenings and weekends. I believe every child deserves a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment where they can learn, grow, and have fun. I look forward to meeting your family!

“Karina was professional, communicated promptly, and great with our 2 year old son. She updated us throughout our date night as asked too!”

$30 per hour for 1 child

I’m Shnyar, a professional, and dependable infant teacher with 9 years of childcare experience. Caring for babies is truly my specialty. I’m experienced with feeding, diapering, naps, safe sleep, age-appropriate activities, developmental support, and creating individualized routines based on each baby’s needs. I’m CPR/First Aid certified and have completed coursework focused on infant care, child development, nutrition, and safety. Safety is always my highest priority. I’m patient, attentive, organized, and respectful of each family’s routines and parenting preferences.

“She was amazing with our baby! She was so calm and patient, and it really felt like she naturally understood babies. Our baby felt so secure with her, especially when Shnyar sang little baby songs. She was the only sitter who could get our baby to drink her bottle!”

"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."
