Find a babysitter in Alameda, CA

My experience mainly comes from my family. I have been babysitting my little brother since I was 10 and he was 6. More recently, I have been babysitting my cousins, a 1-year-old, a 4-year-old, and a 9-year-old. I have also managed kids at various summer camps. Whenever I take care of my cousins, we always end up belting out show tunes on our made-up stage. On the quieter side, I also like to draw and do paper crafts, so I am more than happy to sit with kids and do crafts for hours. I’m looking for summer work before heading off to college, and I’d love to help make your family’s summer a little easier.

Hi! I’m Jocelyn, a student at UC Irvine with experience working with children in a variety of settings. As a former swim instructor, I’ve worked with kids of all ages, helping them build confidence while always putting safety first. Through that role, I received CPR training and was previously CPR certified, giving me a strong foundation in emergency response. I’ve also volunteered at an elementary school, where I supervised and supported children in a positive and encouraging environment, and participated in youth programs that strengthened my leadership and communication skills. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. Whether we’re playing games, doing crafts, reading stories, or spending time outdoors, I strive to create a fun, safe, and caring environment where children feel comfortable being themselves. I understand how important trust is when choosing a caregiver, and I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and someone families can count on. I look forward to meeting your family and providing a fun, safe, and positive experience for your children!

I have worked with kids 5 months - 10 years old. I like to do laundry (wash, fold, put away) and dishes. I have some experience caring for a senior as well, so am open to various opportunities.

Hi, my name is Lauren and I'm a 24 year old Bay Area native. I grew up in San Mateo and went to SI in the Sunset for high school! I graduated from Northeastern University in 2024, and have been working in tech since. In my free time, I’m super passionate about health and wellness, fitness, and cooking. I am offering child care and household services and have a flexible schedule right now during the week through the end of September. I’m an energetic, responsible, respectful, kind and caring person and have a background volunteering with children and adults with disabilities. I also have lots of experience looking after friends and families, and was a babysitter in college. More than happy to cook, clean, and run errands. As an older sister, these things come naturally to me! I have booked with five families on UrbanSitter in the past, and am looking to babysit again, tutor, or help around the house. Happy to provide a reference.
