Hi! I'm Anja (An-ya)! I’m a Bay Area native and a mom! I have a daughter who is 3. I have availability on Thursday with some Fridays. Let me know if you want my daughter to come along! I've been working as a babysitter and nanny since high school, when I regularly babysat for neighborhood families with toddler age children. In college I worked for a service (fittingly) called College Nannies and Tutors, which provided on-call care for a variety of families across the Bay Area. I was booked with families whose daycare providers were on vacation, children who were too sick to go to school, and for kids whose parents worked from home - or who just needed a day to themselves! As you can imagine, I got to know a diverse group of children and parents and was able to work closely with them to meet their own special set of needs. I love fostering children's imagination and independence, and getting to know their unique personalities. Whether it's dinosaurs, dump trucks, Elsa, or Lightning McQueen, if they're interested, I'm interested!

Hello Parents, I’m currently available for occasional babysitting and part-time childcare in Oakland. My childcare journey began in 2009, when I worked as an Au Pair in the Netherlands for a wonderful family with a seven-year-old boy and a nine-year-old girl. After moving to the U.S. in 2011, I continued babysitting and have since gained experience with infants, multiples, and school-age children. Beyond keeping kids safe and supported, I focus on modeling kindness, curiosity, and respect. I enjoy supporting children as they build confidence, independence, and thoughtfulness. I have extensive experience with infants, babies (including multiples), toddlers, and school-age children. My most recent long-term childcare role was in 2021, caring for a one-year-old baby girl. Since then, I’ve continued babysitting regularly and maintaining long-term relationships with families. I’ve studied Child Development at Merritt College in Oakland, hold a Bachelor’s degree in Advertising with a minor in Cinema, and recently completed my MBA. Outside of work, I’m a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and enjoy walking, roller skating, playing music, reading, and watching movies. I’d love to meet your family and provide thoughtful, reliable care for your children. Thank you!
“Our family loves Leine. She is super reliable, a trusted companion to the kids, and very proactive with tidying around the house when she has time”
Message me if you may have any questions or one-time jobs. Hello! My name is Vanessa. I am born and raised in the Bay Area. I currently have a dog of my own and grew up with two dogs. My first job was as an assistant teacher at preschools and elementary schools, while I was going to community college. Eventually, I graduated from the University of California, San Diego with a Bachelors's in Communications and a Theatre minor. I love performing and am seeking a job that can give me some of the flexibility for that (mostly for the evenings). I also have a drivers license and have my COVID vaccines. Hope to talk soon!
“Vanessa arrived on time and had great communication during her afternoon with my son. He said he had so much fun playing and we would love to book Vanessa again! Thanks Vanessa!”
* Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED Certified* Hello, my name is Kayla! I’m a creative, positive, energetic and patient person. I am currently in school studying radiologic science and would love to babysit part-time. I have about 6 years of experience caring for children from ages 1-13. I babysit the children in my neighborhood and I worked at my local summer camp for a couple years. I have a true passion for being around children and enjoy keeping them engaged with hands on crafts and activities. I am very reliable and will take on additional tasks if needed.
“Kayla was great with our one year old! Super punctual and engaged with him immediately. Handled a stressful bedtime with ease. ”

"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."
