Hello 👋🏾 My name is Olivia. I’m 26 years old and im a student at Laney College planning to get my degree in physical education. I have been working with children between the ages of 2months to 13 years of age for about 10 years and I love it! I am currently employed at the Downtown Oakland YMCA as a childcare provider as well as A para educator for OUSD. Hopefully I can be a great fit for you and your family.

Hi all, My name is Mmadi! (Yes, with two M’s! Lol) I am a 30 year-old alumna of California State University - Sacramento, where I earned a degree in Business Communications and Marketing with a minor in Africana studies. I come from a large Nigerian family and I’m the second of five children. Growing up, my mother, who is a labor and delivery nurse, taught me everything there is to know about infant and child care and development. I worked full-time as a professional nanny from 2020 to 2024. When I began with the family, they had a 3-month-old. During my tenure, I also cared for their second child who was born in 2023, raising both until my departure. I have a wealth of experience in babysitting my younger siblings, cousins, nieces, nephews, and family friends. In addition, I have taught Sunday school and independently managed the children's day care at my church for almost nine years. Taking care of 5-10 children every Sunday ranging from newborns to 10 years old in age. During my time in college, I completed numerous child development and psychology courses. I also have a basic understanding of the Spanish language, having taken three years of it in high school. I have been an UrbanSitter member since the summer of 2016 and have worked with over 500 families, which I have thoroughly enjoyed. I look forward to hearing from you soon! Friendly reminder: rates range based on distance, age, job duties etc

Hi! My name is Alondra, and I am currently a senior at the University of San Francisco majoring in Nursing. My goal is to become a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, and I have a genuine passion for caring for children and supporting their growth and well-being. I offer reliable, compassionate childcare whenever my school schedule allows. I am CPR certified and a registered caregiver through the state, with experience caring for both children and my own grandparents. My healthcare background has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to remain calm in different situations, giving parents peace of mind while their children are in my care. I am fluent in both English and Spanish, so I am happy to communicate with bilingual families or help children practice Spanish. I’ve also been dancing since I was 3 years old and love incorporating fun, creative activities like dancing, crafts, reading, outdoor play, and games into my time with kids. I love dogs, so I’m more than comfortable caring for pets as well! My goal is to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and have fun. I understand how important it is for parents to trust the person caring for their children, and I strive to be dependable, attentive, and communicative every step of the way. I look forward to meeting your family!

Hi, I’m Leighanna! I’m a nursing student with over 11 years of babysitting experience, starting when I was just 13. I’ve cared for children of all ages and pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and calm in any situation. Alongside childcare, I also offer dog sitting—I have two sweet pups of my own, Okia and Yumi, so animals are very close to my heart. I earned my undergraduate degree from San Francisco State University and am now pursuing my master’s in Nursing. Outside of school and sitting, I love to bake and have been dancing for 22 years, which keeps me creative, active, and full of energy. I bring that same warmth, responsibility, and enthusiasm into every family I work with and truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for kids. 🚗 Rates & Transportation: 🚗 My standard rate is $30/hour minimum for one child. I’m always happy to discuss rates and am comfortable accepting bookings at a different posted rate if one is listed. For families located across the bridge, I kindly ask for assistance with the bridge toll, which is currently $8.50. ❌Cancellations❌ Because I reserve time specifically for your family and may turn down other opportunities, any booking canceled with less than 48 hours’ notice will incur a cancellation fee equal to one hour of care at my normal rate. I completely understand that unexpected situations can come up, and I appreciate your understanding and consideration of my time. Thank you!
