Hi families! My name is Laura, and I’m a warm, reliable, and experienced nanny currently completing my degree in special education. I’m available for evening babysitting, morning hours during the week, and weekend childcare support. I’ve worked with children of all ages—from 3 months to 14 years—through my years as a full-time nanny, babysitter (since age 16!), and camp counselor. I also have extensive experience supporting children with a wide range of special needs, and I love integrating what I’m learning in my teaching degree into the way I care for and engage with kids. Whether it’s bedtime stories, arts and crafts, outdoor play, tutoring, or helping with routines and transitions, I bring energy, empathy, and structure to every family I work with. I’d love to support your family, whether you need a dependable date-night sitter or more regular help. I’m happy to provide references and look forward to connecting!
“Laura was great with my kid! I had the sense he was in really good hands with her. ”
Hi there, Nice to meet you! I'm Omy, I bring over 5 years of experience, and I'd love to help you with the most precious thing of your life, your children! I'm from Spain, raised in a beautiful archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean known as the Canary Islands. I love to speak to kids in Spanish so they can learn from my culture too! I strongly believe that having a caregiver from a different culture really exposes and expands your child's mind. Only accepting payments via cash. Please, do not hesitate to contact me to discuss more details. Looking forward to hearing from you!
“We feel so lucky to have had Omy as our nanny! We’re sad our schedules don’t align any more, but we’re happy to recommend Omy to the next lucky family to work with her! Omy was dependable, responsible, and always there when we needed her. She was able to really connect with the kids, she really got them. A few more things: - Omy is also a great and safe driver and has her own car - Omy has excellent bilingual communication skills (English and Spanish) - Omy is healthy and energetic and fantastic about encouraging healthy habits - Omy’s very organized and on top of things like schedules, lunches, etc. Maybe last thing to add is that there were a few times where due to unforeseen circumstances we needed extra unexpected help and Omy went above and beyond to adjust her schedule to help us out. This was far beyond what we’d normally expect and showed Omy really cared about the kids and helping us out. I highly recommend Omy! She’s wonderful and was great to work with!”
Hi, my name is Emily! I recently moved to Berkeley after living in San Francisco for over 10 years. I graduated from SFSU with degrees in business and education, and have spent the past five years working at nonprofits. I'm currently in a Master's program at SJSU pursuing a career in Speech-Language Pathology. Along with being an aunt to five nieces and a nephew, I have a strong background in childcare. I have worked as a preschool teacher, served as a camp counselor at the Santa Barbara Zoo, and volunteered with 826 Valencia, supporting elementary school students, and volunteered with a summer camp for children with disabilities at Pomeroy Recreation Center. I love being creative with crafts and being outside whenever possible!
Hi there! I’m Mia. I have been caring for children for 8 years as a babysitter and as the oldest of 3 siblings. I have a lot of experience with infants/toddlers, and I have also spent 5 years working with children on the autism spectrum (2-18 years old). I truly love working with kids and will use every opportunity to help them grow and learn. I hope that I'm the right fit for your family. Feel free to contact me, you won't be disappointed!
Hello! My name is Margaret! I’m new here, and excited to start my part time position becoming your house sitter, cleaner, or pet sitter. I can also pick up kids from school, do laundry or errands and things of that nature. I can provide people who can attest that I am trustworthy, kind, and that I learn very quickly! I am super diligent and hardworking and most of all, focused. Hope to talk to you soon!
“Margaret has been a fantastic helper for our family. She's always punctual and reliable. She works really hard and takes directions well. She takes on any new household task that we throw her way with enthusiasm. We are very happy to have found her and grateful for her support.”

"UrbanSitter has supported my needs for reliable and joyful sitters. Whether it be for work, recreation or last-minute emergencies, we've made wonderful relationships with local sitters who have become a part of our family!"

"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."
