$28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 23 families in Livermore, CA

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!

Yami was the absolute BEST! I’ve used about five sitters from UrbanSitter, and she completely exceeded my expectations. She is so energetic, engaging, and wonderful with toddlers. My 15-month-old is constantly on the move and always looking to play, and she was exactly the kind of energetic presence he needed. She is also incredibly mature for her age and clearly very knowledgeable about toddlers and child development. As a first-time mom, I actually learned a few things from her myself. She was punctual, communicative, and gave great updates while we were out and again when we got home, which I really appreciated. I would recommend her to anyone and will absolutely be using her again!

$35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 11 families in Livermore, CA

Hi families! I'm María, an Elementary Teacher from Spain with over 12 years of experience working with children of all ages—from newborns to teens. Over the years, I’ve been a babysitter, camp counselor, activity leader, and spent a wonderful year as an au pair here in California—an experience that made me fall in love with the Bay Area, where I now live! I’m passionate about creating a positive, safe, and fun environment where kids feel happy, supported, and free to be themselves. Whether it’s playing, helping with homework, guiding routines, or simply being a caring presence, I always adapt to each child’s needs and personality. Fluent in both Spanish and English, I love to bring creativity, communication, and even a little language learning into our time together. I'm also happy to help with light housekeeping, meal prep, and anything that makes your family’s day smoother. If you're looking for someone experienced, warm, and genuinely dedicated to kids of all ages, I’d love to meet you!

Maria was incredibly warm and kind. She stepped in last-minute when our regular caregiver canceled just an hour before and showed up right on time, which we really appreciated. She connected with my toddler right away and they had a great time together. She helped smoothly with our morning routine, including getting our child to preschool. She also supported with transportation and helped carry everything we needed to get him to school, which meant a lot since I’m not allowed to lift anything during my high-risk pregnancy. Maria made me feel completely comfortable having someone new in our home. Her energy is calm and reassuring, and it’s clear she has a lot of experience, both as a mom of three and as a teacher. I would absolutely recommend her, especially since she’s local and reliable.
