I’ve been on UrbanSitter for the past 6 years, and working with kids is something I truly love. Whether it’s playing games, helping with homework, or just being a positive and caring presence, I enjoy building meaningful connections with the families I work with.
Hi! My name is Savannah. I recently graduated with a degree in Biochemistry and am currently working while preparing my applications for medical school. I've been caring for children since I was 15 and have experience with all ages from newborns to 15 years old. I've worked with large families (up to five children at once), twins and multiples, and I also have experience as a night nanny. Supporting children with special needs is especially close to my heart, my younger brother, who is 15 years younger than me, is on the autism spectrum, and that's shaped both my understanding and my approach as a caregiver. I'm CPR and EMT certified, and I'm happy to help with everything from date nights and tutoring to outdoor activities and daily routines. I genuinely love working with kids and creating a safe, supportive, and engaging environment for them to thrive in.
“Savannah was great with our 4-year old. Punctual and great communication. I look forward to her sitting for us again soon!”
Hello 👋🏾 My name is Olivia. I’m 26 years old and im a student at Laney College planning to get my degree in physical education. I have been working with children between the ages of 2months to 13 years of age for about 10 years and I love it! I am currently employed at the Downtown Oakland YMCA as a childcare provider as well as A para educator for OUSD. Hopefully I can be a great fit for you and your family.
“She was amazing and flexible. The kids loved her.”
I just graduated from school with my Doctorate in Occupational therapy and am looking for extra babysitting to help with paying off my student loans. I work in early childhood mental health and school-based OT. I got my undergraduate degree from Southern Oregon University in Ashland, Oregon, with a major in Theater, emphasis in set construction. I also have a minor in Early Childhood Development. Before COVID I worked at Cal Shakespeare in Berkeley/Orinda. I have been working with children for the past 18 years as a date night sitter, a nanny, a childcare worker, and a preschool teacher. I have experience with all ages. I am CPR certified, and I recently just refreshed my certification. I love working with all types of children. I love to play games (inside and outside), watch movies, build forts, and I especially love arts and crafts with the kiddos.
Hi! My name is Dominique, but I go by Doma. I've been around babies and children my whole life. I grew up with my mom running her own home day care and started babysitting at 15 years old for family friends. I'm the second oldest of six children with my two youngest siblings being 9 and 11 years old, so I’m comfortable with watching multiples, doing housework and managing the occasional (or day to day) chaos. I am flexible, empathetic, and overall just really value genuine connection with those I share space with. I’ve found it important for me to be able to really partner with parents and openly communicate about how I can best care for their child and how we can support each other in the process. I look forward to hopefully doing that with you!

"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."
Laura F., mom of two
