Hi! I'm Yalili. I bring a warm, structured approach to childcare—whether it's story time, arts and crafts, or helping with routines. I'm bilingual (English/Spanish), patient, and attentive to each child's unique personality and needs. I also love encouraging little ones' curiosity and supporting busy parents however I can. Whether you're looking for someone part-time, occasional, or backup care, I’d love to support your family with love, structure, and reliability.
Hi my name is Leah! I am a pediatric mental health nurse and working on obtaining my doctorate to become a nurse practitioner. As a pediatric nurse, I am adept at handling emergency situations and comfortable adapting to behavioral challenges. I have been working with children for over 10 years as a camp counselor and special ed aide in addition to as a nurse. I am looking for occasional babysitting jobs to take on in my spare time and open to working on a semi consistent basis if I am a good fit for your family!
Fully vaccinated and only working with other fully vaccinated families (COVID and flu vaccine 09/20/2024) Hello, my name is Audrey and I have been a nanny for the past 10+ years. I received my bachelor's degree in Psychology and Social Behavior and I enjoy working with children ages 1+ year(s) and like providing children independence in what they do. I love helping children develop healthy coping skills as well as the freedom to fully express themselves. In my free time, I like to meditate, read, and make art. Please reach out to me with any questions you might have, I look forward to working with you and your young ones :)
Hi! My name is Natalie and am 25 years old. I'm an experienced babysitter with 10+ years of experience who has a passion for child care with a goal of becoming a pediatric nurse. I received my bachelor's of science in nursing this past May at Samuel Merritt University in Oakland and am currently finding occasional babysitting jobs as I study for my state board exam. I wanted to go into nursing because I have always enjoyed helping people. I have always enjoyed working with children, which is why I chose pediatric nursing and why I have always gravitated to childcare jobs. My mom and grandmother owned a daycare for 13 years of my life and I was a big help, so I have experience taking care of newborns all the way to teenagers. I have volunteered during the summer at many camps as a youth counselor. During the pandemic I worked through zoom to provide one on one care with children that needed homework assistance or just virtual playtime. I have worked as an after school instructor at my local elementary school, where I am currently working. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school and sport practices, crafts, bedtime routines, and tutoring. I can also clean, tidy up the house and run errands if needed. My main goal is to always make sure children are having fun in an educational way and providing a safe environment for them. I am a big fan of arts and crafts so I always carry crafts around me in case a fun little activity can be done. I also love pets and take care of them as well! I have had many hamsters, cats, dogs, chinchillas, etc...so I am fine with giving them my extra care. I am also bilingual and speak English and Spanish fluently, and wouldn’t mind giving a little Spanish lesson every now and then. I like to her walk my dogs, do puzzles, and watch movies in my spare time. I am fully vaccinated and CPR certified. I look forward to meeting you! 😊

"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."
