Find a babysitter in Oakland, CA

Hello, my name is Ky’Aira and I think I am a great fit for your family! I am 28 and went to Northridge State and moved to Sacramento to get more teaching experience. While I was a teacher there, I taught infants up to 5 year olds. Many families that I bonded with became family and would contact me for watching their child. I became apart of these families and would come to birthdays or just come over on weekends to hang. I thing it’s important to stimulate their minds and bodies. I enjoy creating art and sensory activities for younger children and also anything in a kitchen! Going outside and playing is something that will never be missed because I enjoy outside play and exploring the world around us! I do have teaching background so their will be something to learn throughout basic activities during the day. Putting children to sleep I’ve been told I’m a pro since I am very observant of the body language and needs that child may need to help them sleep. I am more of an academic nanny in the sense of everything we do has a learning component and enjoying independent play to explore their imagination and creativity. I also am very organized and cleaning meaning if you need me to help with anything extra I probably already have done it or would love to help! I have worked with multiple families as a full time nanny and am most knowledgeable with infants up until 3. If you hire me, whether it’s full time or sometimes your child will have an amazing time and you’ll receive pictures and videos during that time so you can see what your loved one is doing. Hoping to hear from you soon!

Hi! My name is Phia and I would be happy to work with you. I have been working with children professionally since I was 16 but babysat before then. I have worked with children of varying ages, from infants 3 months and older, toddlers, elementary age, all the way up to young teenagers preparing for high school. I graduated from the University of San Francisco with a BA in sociology in May 2022. I now work as a project coordinator supervising youth development and policy at a local non-profit. I still work with babysitting families 1-2 times a week. In the Bay Area, I have worked as an after-school program leader for the YMCA in SFUSD, as well as a classroom aid. Beyond this, I have worked as an interim babysitter and nanny for various families before and during the pandemic. Through my time with the YMCA and other organizations, I have been trained in childhood development and creative education. I enjoy working with kids because it helps me keep in tune with my ability to empathize and stay creative. Children are the expression of a community, so staying in tune with the needs and experiences of youth is better for the community as a whole. Booking and payment policy: Same day cancellation, if you cancel within 4 hours of the booking start time, you are agreeing to pay me 1/2 of lost wages.

Hi! I am just ending 8 great years as an after-school nanny and family assistant and before that 7 great years as a preschool teacher, working with kids aged 2. 5 --5. I worked within 3 classrooms, experiencing all the ages from toddlers to pre-k. I have worked with children of all ages on some level - babysitting, preschool, after-school care, summer programs and tutoring - for the past 30 years. I naturally gravitate to children and get on their level pretty easily while also maintaining the responsibility and authority a child might need when not in the care of parents. My care philosophy is very child centered and respectful, similar to the philosophies of RIE, Magda Geber and play based learning. I am available for date nights, after school and weekend care. Some of my favorite things to do with kids are read (my children's book library keeps growing), craft activities and cooking (bonus: I do the cleanup!).

I’ve been on UrbanSitter for the past 6 years, and working with kids is something I truly love. Whether it’s playing games, helping with homework, or just being a positive and caring presence, I enjoy building meaningful connections with the families I work with.
