Find a babysitter in Emeryville, CA

Hello! I’m currently living and working at a Buddhist monastery in San Francisco, where I meditate daily and study Buddhist psychology. I’m preparing to begin graduate school this fall to become a therapist, and I bring a calm, attentive, and compassionate presence to my work with children. I’ve spent many years caring for kids in a variety of settings. I grew up babysitting and recently returned from Asia, where I worked as a camp counselor in Japan leading groups of children and supporting ADHD, autism, and mental health needs. I’ve also taught English to children in Vietnam and worked as a tutor in the U.S. for two years. I love to dance, play, and do crafts, and I enjoy creating a fun, supportive, and safe environment.

Hi! I'm Rachael. I'm 27 and live in the Marina. I found my passion for working with kids when I was 13 years old and became a mothers helper. From there, I've worked at different schools, internships at speech clinics, and eventually earned my Master's in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). I've also worked for several ABA clinics supporting children with disabilities, and I'm very comfortable with positive behavior strategies. I am experienced working with newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. What matters most to me is connecting with your child, using positive reinforcement (like praise, attention, and play), and creating a comfortable, safe space for them. When I'm with your child, you can leave and genuinely not worry. I come prepared with high energy and hands-on activities. 99% of the time, they're having so much fun that they forget to check the door :)

Having just completed my master's degree in Global Health, I have recently moved to San Francisco and am looking to work in childcare while I get settled. I have steadily watched children of all ages (anywhere from 4 months to 11 years) since I was a young teenager. I last worked as an after-school nanny to a five-year-old boy while I was getting my undergraduate degree in Washington, DC. I have also worked as an English literacy tutor for kindergarteners. I genuinely adore children, and would love to help your family out! I am also happy to provide references. In my free time, I love to practice yoga, rock climb, cook, and explore the city's parks and museums.

Hello! My name is Neha and I just moved to the area from Washington, DC! In DC, I served as a part time nanny of 2 children (ages 6 and 9) for 4 years. I also was the part time nanny of a 2 year old girl for 2 years. Additionally I have done many occasional babysitting gigs for a range of ages from infants to 14 year olds. I am passionate about childcare and am a very caring and kind nanny. I am willing to help with homework and am conscious of any rules that need to be maintained. I love to play and am always suggesting playing with toys, or playing outside to keep kids off screens! I have played everything from barbie to hide and seek to legos with kids and truly love it. I prioritize the safety of your children and am always available for communication on my phone. I like to keep parents updated with check-ins. I have a valid drivers license and am happy to drive but do not have a car. Overall, I truly love taking care of children and have extensive experience!

Hi, my name is Lauren and I'm a 24 year old Bay Area native. I grew up in San Mateo and went to SI in the Sunset for high school! I graduated from Northeastern University in 2024, and have been working in tech since. In my free time, I’m super passionate about health and wellness, fitness, and cooking. I am offering child care and household services and have a flexible schedule right now during the week through the end of September. I’m an energetic, responsible, respectful, kind and caring person and have a background volunteering with children and adults with disabilities. I also have lots of experience looking after friends and families, and was a babysitter in college. More than happy to cook, clean, and run errands. As an older sister, these things come naturally to me! I have booked with five families on UrbanSitter in the past, and am looking to babysit again, tutor, or help around the house. Happy to provide a reference.
