Hi, I'm Kimberly! I offer child care, pet care, and senior care. I'm in a transitional career stage, love kids, and have a background art/design and food. Caring for your kids is a great way to combine these things while I figure out what's next. Happy to engage in activities, go to the park, read, draw, stay off screens if preferred, make healthy snacks/meals, adhere to your routines and boundaries, and be a trustworthy (and hopefully fun) buddy. Most of my recent experience with kids is more casual: hanging out with friends' kids. I have a fair amount of distant babysitting experience from years ago! Happy to offer referrals. I'm gluten-free but can cook anything, and know my way around dietary restrictions.
I am a full-time personal chef working with several families in Oakland looking for additional work. One of my favorite parts of my job is getting to share the joy of cooking and food with my clients' children & I often babysit for families I cook for too. I also have experience teaching gardening and cooking to students K-12.
“Cassandra was amazing. My 4 year old adored her and didn’t want her to leave. Absolutely having her watch my kiddo again. Highly recommend!”
Hi dear families! 💕 My name is lucila I’m 21 years old , and I’m currently looking for part-time nanny position in the Bay Area. Caring for children is truly something I love, I bring patience, warmth, and a genuine connection to every child I care for. I have over 6 years of experience, especially with infants, and I’m very attentive to routines, development, and creating a safe, loving environment. I’m responsible, calm, loving, and truly dedicated to making both children and parents feel comfortable and supported 🤍 If you or someone you know is looking for a trustworthy and caring nanny, I would love to connect!
I’m a reliable, warm and attentive 30-year-old based in the Berkeley area, currently transitioning from a career in communications into publishing and bookselling. While I get settled in the East Bay, I’m returning to nannying and babysitting, something I’ve loved and returned to throughout my life. I’ve been caring for children since my teenage years, with consistent experience babysitting and nannying over time. I’m most experienced with children ages 4–12, and I also have some hands-on experience with infants and toddlers. I love being part of a child’s day in a way that feels both fun and supportive, whether that’s imaginative play, helping with homework or creating a calm, engaging environment. I’m naturally organized, communicative and emotionally attuned. I pay close attention to what children need, physically and emotionally, and I do my best to create a space where they feel comfortable, understood and encouraged to be themselves. Families I’ve worked with would describe me as dependable, warm and easy to communicate with. I take pride in being someone parents can trust and someone kids feel at ease around. Beyond childcare, I’m happy to help keep things running smoothly at home! This can include light tidying, organizing, meal prep , etc.
Hi, I'm Paloma and I love working with/spending time with kids. I have my CPR certification and around 4 years of experience babysitting. During the summer I am a kids camp counselor in Orinda and during the year I babysit for different families. I am friendly, patient, and caring. I can babysit for up to 3 kids at a time. I can make simple meals and help out around the house if necessary. I am happy to work with families who have dogs and cats. I graduated high school last year and am currently taking a gap year so I have lots of extra free time to babysit.

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
