Hi, I'm Lena! I was born and raised in San Francisco and am now a sophomore at UC Berkeley studying Political Economy and Global Studies with a minor in Business. I love getting kids moving, whether that's a walk to the park, a dance party in the living room, or time outside. I'm very comfortable in the kitchen, so I'm happy to make a healthy snack or dinner and turn cooking into a fun activity. I also love tidying and will make sure the house is in great condition before parents are home! I have a younger sister and I have spent a lot of time babysitting her and her friends. I also have 4 baby cousins that I look after. I have experience with all ages and I am looking for possible reoccurring and one time care jobs. Parents can count on me to be punctual, responsible, in close communication, and to stick to your family's routines. I'd love to meet your family and can't wait to hear from you!
“Really lovely! Punctual, good communication and engaged my son immediately.”
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!
With close to ten years of experience in youth education and childcare, I have worked with children ages three and up across a wide range of settings. My academic background spans psychology and theater arts, including a semester of dedicated research in early childhood developmental psychology. Beyond nannying, my deepest passion is theater — I have performed in dozens of professional stage productions throughout the Bay Area, including children's theater in San Francisco. I bring that creative energy directly to my work with kids: I teach drama and vocal lessons to students ages five and up, and co-founded a drama camp and daycare program in Point Richmond back in 2020. I began nannying at 20 and have genuinely loved every stage of this work. In addition to childcare, I'm happy to assist with basic household tasks, offer pet care (I'm a former dog walker and current cat owner), and provide transportation — I have a valid CA driver's license and my own vehicle. If your child has an interest in performing arts, I'd also love to incorporate some singing or drama games into our time together.
My name is Jennifer, and I have over three years of experience working with children, including two years as an Au Pair. I’ve cared for kids from 1½ to 10 years old and love supporting their growth through play, crafts, games, and learning activities. I’m CPR trained and infant qualified with 800+ hours of experience. I can help with homework, meal prep, and light housekeeping, and I always aim to create a safe, caring, and fun environment for the children I look after. I'm looking for a full-time, part-time or babysitting job for the full month of January 2026 (area of Oakland and surroundings).
Hi there! I'm Itzell. I currently work full-time as a Registered Nurse, specializing in clinic telephone triage, and I am looking to provide caregiving services for some side income. I am available for both childcare and adult care. When it comes to babysitting, I have 2 years of formal, paid experience caring for younger family members. In addition to childcare, I am highly qualified to offer adult care services, drawing on my professional healthcare background. I worked for 3 dedicated years as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) before spending the last 3 years in my current practice as an RN. On a personal level, I am a very friendly, easygoing, and approachable person. I know how important it is to find the right caregiver for your loved ones, and I would love to meet up to see if we're a good fit for each other!

"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
