Hi families! My name is Yamilet, and I’m a childcare provider and art instructor with five years of hands-on experience working with kids of all ages. I’m a 20-year-old college student at Cal State East Bay studying Communication, and caring for children has been a huge part of my life for the past several years. I’ve spent four summers as the Lead Art Camp Instructor at St. Paul’s Episcopal School, where I planned and executed activities, supported ages 4–11, lead off-campus trips, and guided counselors-in-training ages 12–14. I learned how to keep groups engaged, safe, and supported while helping every child feel confident. Year-round, I work as the Head Nursery Childcare Provider at Indelible Grace Church, caring for infants and toddlers ages 0–3. I’m responsible for setup, cleanup, feeding, diaper changes, running the nursery, and directing volunteers. I’m CPR and first aid certified, and I’m very comfortable managing busy rooms with calmness, patience, and clear communication. If families are interested, I also offer optional weekly art lessons as an add-on. I teach drawing, watercolor, colored pencil, clay, and other fun creative projects—completely up to the family if they’d like to include this. Kids love having a creative outlet and a chance to explore different materials. I also run a small business called Yami’s Face Paint, where I do face painting, henna for events. You can see my work on Instagram at @yamisfacepaint. Outside of childcare, I’m a Division II cross country and track athlete, which means I’m dependable, energetic, and always on time. I’m fluent in English and Spanish and do my best to create a warm and safe environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for. I would love the chance to support your family. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!
“Yamilet was wonderful! She arrived right on time and was very thoughtful, even bringing activities to do with Simone. Simone really enjoyed spending time with her and felt very comfortable with her. We had a great experience and can’t wait to have Yamilet back the next time we need a babysitter. Highly recommend!”
Hi everyone, I have been babysitting for 4 years. Some of the few things I enjoy doing with children are playing games, coloring/drawing or being active and playing outdoors!
Hello! My name is Jenna and I recently graduated from CSU East Bay. I am offering childcare and pet care services. Over the years I have babysat numerous times for neighbors or family friends from children ages 1-10. Previously I worked at a petting zoo and managed groups of children from ages 3-14. I can also help with homework, especially in the science area as I have a bachelors in biology. In my free time I enjoy reading, drawing, painting, and crocheting. I have around 7 years of experience working with various types of farm animals and I am comfortable taking care of any animal! Upon request I’d be happy to give references.
“Such a sweet kind young woman ”
I have professional experience caring for babies and young children, with 5+ years of childcare experience, including nannying and family support. I’m comfortable with daily routines, meals, play, naps, school drop-offs and pickups, and creating a safe, warm, and engaging environment for children. I also have experience helping families with light housekeeping and home organization, as well as pet care. I’m reliable, caring, organized, and attentive to the needs of both children and the household. Thank you, Bruna
“Very detail oriented and caring. Will definitely work together again.”
My name is Fernanda, and I am from Colombia. I am university trained and licensed as a teacher in Colombia where I taught children ages 4 years to 14 years old. I am fluent in English and Spanish and for the past 2 years have been employed as a nanny caring for children ages 6 months to 3 years old. I am a very patient, responsible, and dependable person who is about promoting the well-being and overall development of children.
“Maria (she goes by Fernanda) was great with my two year old. She got here right as I was in the middle of my daughter having just had an accident. Fernanda took over and handled it without complaint and helped change her. My toddler warmed up to her immediately and Fernanda took great care of her. Would definitely have her back!”

"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."
