$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Orinda, CA

I’m a caring, loving, patient, and honest person who truly enjoys helping people of all ages grow in every aspect of life emotionally, mentally, and physically. I’ve worked in daycares and also have years of experience as an independent babysitter, helping with homework, preparing lunches, dinners, and occasionally breakfast. I also assist with light housekeeping, running errands, and I’m always open and eager to learn new responsibilities to better support each family's needs. I’ve cared for seniors as well, offering companionship, preparing meals, sorting medication, and keeping their living spaces clean and comfortable. I'm outgoing and dependable, and I approach every caregiving situation with empathy and respect. I’m also great with animals. I'm a proud dog owner myself, so I understand how important pets are to a family. Being a caregiver brings me joy because it allows me to build meaningful connections while making a positive impact in others' lives. I take pride in being someone people can count on.

“Paris was very sweet, she came with a few gifts for my daughter and pets. My daughter had a great time with her. ”

Lauren $30 per hour for 1 child

Experienced, kind, and flexible support looking to provide part or full time care (20-40 hours per week) in Berkeley/East Bay while I work on a part-time neuroscience project. I'm active/outdoorsy, creative, and nerdy--I love engaging children of all ages in the fullness of what's happening now! Available for work while my primary family is out of town June 22-June 27. Please note that my hourly rate may adjust for temp/ad hoc care. Recent references available. I grew up raising my eight younger siblings in an unschooling/off-grid environment, nannied school-aged children in undergrad, and have been heavily influenced by Maria Montessori, Rudolf Steiner (Waldorf School), and Fred Rogers. One of my early goals in getting to know your family would be to understand your ethos and preferences, and support them--I've worked well with many family structures and nurturing styles. I believe strongly in empowering children to be attuned to their instincts and environments, play/explore within healthy boundaries, and to treat themselves and others with respect and care. TLDR on logistics: I’m comfortable helping with cooking, chores, errands, pets, the pre/postpartum periods, and other items as needed—happy to discuss the scope of what you’re looking for. I live in Berkeley near downtown and have my own car.

"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."
