Hello, My name is Aryn, and I currently reside in the East Bay. I work full time as a college Advisor in Berkeley, specifically in International Education. I’ve worked with kids in all aspects for as long as I can remember. I was a junior lifeguard, tutored kids in high school, cared for elementary and middle school aged children in early college, was a student teacher to 5th and 6th grade students while studying abroad in college, and currently pick up shifts for families when they are needed. I love pets, especially dogs. I have a dog in my hometown of Los Angeles.

Hi Everyone! My name is Jamiah and I have been an educator for over 10 years. I have a background in special education/inclusion and have worked as an Instructional aid for many years. I have worked with babies through adults in various schools as an instructional aid, preschool educator, dance teacher, baby sitter, on the administrator team as a Youth Manager, in day programs for neurodivergent adults, and memory care with elders as a private care giver. Additionally, I am a doula and have experience working with families with infants and navigating birth through postpartum. Moreover, I am CPR & first aid certified, have 10 ECE units, provide sibling support, have work with multiples (twins), and love supporting families with pets. My care is rooted in social emotional learning, restorative justice, self-autonomy, trauma-informed and creative (I have a degree in Dance Studies & have worked as an art teacher for a few years). I am very excited about the prospect of supporting your family!

I also feel comfortable with pets and enjoy helping families keep their home running smoothly. I’m reliable, communicative, and truly enjoy working with kids.
Hello! My name is Sophie, and I’m a career nanny living in Oakland. I’m a former preschool teacher, and hold a B.A. in Child Development from Mills College. I have been a nanny/babysitter on and off for the past 20 years. Most of my nanny work has consisted of caring for newborns- 3 yr-olds. I really enjoy working with parents as a team, to support them in their post-partum journey. I am looking for part-time work in the areas of infant/childcare, family support, post-partum support, pet care, sibling-support, and general household support.

"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."
