I’m a recent UC Berkeley graduate, 22 years old, with a B.A. in English Literature, and I still live in Berkeley. I’ve grown up in a care-oriented, family-centered household with three younger brothers, and helping to raise them has been a central part of my life. From feeding, dressing, and managing bedtime routines to helping with homework and keeping them entertained, I’ve learned firsthand how to balance responsibility, patience, and fun. That lifelong experience, combined with babysitting for other families, has given me a strong foundation in childcare and a deep appreciation for creating nurturing, safe, and engaging environments for children of all ages. I love being active and outdoors, so I enjoy hiking, running, and exploring new spaces with kids, as well as quiet time reading or telling stories to spark creativity and imagination. Growing up in a busy, caring household has taught me empathy, adaptability, and problem-solving. These are skills that I bring to every family or parent that I work with. I’m comfortable helping with light household tasks, meal prep, homework, and daily routines while keeping children happy, safe, and stimulated. I’m happy to babysit anywhere in the Bay Area and am excited to bring my experience, energy, and love of caregiving to new families. I take pride in building trust with both parents and children and creating a positive, supportive environment where kids can learn, play, and feel cared for.
Hi! I have a lot of babysitting experience, paid and unpaid, from babysitting younger siblings and cousins to neighbors and family friends. I used to tutor kids at the Mathnasium and can defintely help with homework. I’ve also been a court appointed special advocate for a foster child, so kids with challenges do not scare me. I’ve also house-sat and taken care of all types of pets (friendly pets, haha). I graduated from UC Berkeley 2 years ago and am now working as a legal assistant and saving up while I apply to law school. And I looove arts and crafts🎨🧵🧶 I think that about covers it, but let me know if you have any more questions (:
I am a 4th year college student studying Film and Business Administration. While childcare is not my long-term career path, I have always loved working with kids and families and I've been babysitting for families in my neighborhood since I was in high school. I have a warm and bubbly personality, I'm energetic, and love engaging with children through their hobbies and interests. I enjoy portraiture, model-making, and jewelry-making, so I'm great with arts and crafts and creative activities. I'm neat, organized, patient, and happy to help with cooking and cleaning if needed. Additionally, I have pet sitting experience and am comfortable working with/around animals .
Hi families! My name is Ella and I am a fairly recent grad from Cal Poly Humboldt, who just moved back to the bay area. I have years of experience babysitting and nannying for all ages of kids and genuinely love working with children in all their unique stages. Whether it's keeping little ones entertained, helping with homework, sticking to routines, or simply being a positive and dependable presence, I strive to make every child feel safe, supported, and cared for. I truly understand how important it is for parents to feel confident in their childcare, and I take that responsibility seriously. I enjoy creating fun, engaging experiences while ensuring children's needs and safety always come first. I look forward to connecting with your family!
I am a third grade teacher with fifteen years teaching experience. I work at a public school in Oakland’s Glenview neighborhood. I’m a mama of two kids, ages 17 and 20. I have the summer off and looking for some babysitting gigs!
“Erica was friendly, confident and professional, and she easily got into the swing of things with our two young kids. They had a great time with her, and she sent helpful updates as well so we had a nice evening out.”

"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
