Teresa 2 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Teresa, I live in Oakland ( Montclair) and Im excited about the potential to work with you and your family. I’m a mother of five adult children, I worked 18 years driving school buses,and I have over 20 years experience working with infants, toddlers, and young children. I’m highly skilled in newborn’s care. My areas of expertise are infant sleep training, potty training, and preparing healthy age-appropriate meals.I strive to create an atmosphere where your children are safe, happy, and well nourished. I’m patient, reliable, committed, and trained in First Aid/CPR. Also I’m a County Register Caregiver/ Companion with 15 years experience in Elder care. Reliable transportation,insurance, and clean background and driving record. Excellent cooking skills and glowing references.

“It is my pleasure to offer my highest recommendation for Teresa, who served as the full-time nanny for our son, from the age of eight months until he entered pre-kindergarten at age five. We always looked forward to hearing about what they did during day. From taking his first steps to trying new foods to learning Spanish words, we new our son enjoyed spending time with Teresa. Over those formative years, Teresa was more than an employee; she was an essential and beloved member of our family. Not only did she care for our son, but she also cared for my grandparents, treating them with love and respect. She cooked for them, spent quality time with them and took care of their personal needs. Several years later when we were in need of a nanny, we were so fortunate that she was available. While her professional duties concluded years ago, her role in his life never did. Even now, as he is a senior in high school, Teresa remains a lifelong friend who continues to attend significant milestones and celebrations. This unique, long-standing bond speaks volumes about her character, her commitment, and the depth of care she invests in the children she looks after. For any family seeking a caregiver who is not only trustworthy, reliable, and deeply capable, but who will also bring a truly loving and committed heart to their work, we wholeheartedly recommend Teresa. We are so grateful for the role she played in our lives.”

Hi! I’m Neelu— I have experience caring for children in creative, educational, and home environments, with a background in Montessori learning. I’ve worked with children ranging from toddlers to elementary age and am comfortable supporting full evening routines, including meals, bath time, and bedtime. I bring a calm, attentive, and nurturing presence, and I enjoy engaging kids through art, outdoor time, creative play, and age-appropriate learning. I value creating a warm, structured environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to explore. My experience includes: • Montessori teacher’s assistant (Rising Star Montessori) • Childcare for multiple age groups • Cooking simple, healthy meals • School pick-up/drop-off • Arts & crafts, tutoring, and creative activities I’m also happy to assist with light household tasks like tidying, cooking, and errands as needed.

“Neelu is one of the most dependable, thoughtful, and caring people I know. She has a natural ability to connect with children through patience, creativity, and genuine attentiveness. Kids tend to feel comfortable around her very quickly, and she does a wonderful job creating a calm, engaging environment where they feel safe and supported. She's responsible, communicative, and always follows through on her commitments.

Booked by 2 families in Orinda, CA

Hello my name is Sydney and I’m currently a Junior attending Cal. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I love being with children and have been watching toddlers and kids for four years now. I am relatively new to watching infants, as I’ve only done it for a year. My responsibilities have included crafts, cooking, driving to/from activities, tutoring, and even sports coaching. I also enjoy taking care of pets as well. I have three dogs of my own, all different sizes so I am comfortable with all dogs. As for cats I’ve never owned one, but I have watched and cared for a few for days at a time. With that in mind, I am aware that the household chores come with it. I can clean and run errands as needed. I have no allergies and excited to work with families!

"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."
