Find a babysitter in San Leandro, CA

Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and patient caregiver who enjoys spending time with children and helping families feel supported. I have experience caring for kids of different ages and I always focus on creating a safe, fun, and positive environment. I’m reliable, organized, and comfortable helping with routines, meals, playtime, bedtime, and light household tasks. I’m also flexible with occasional babysitting and part-time care, and I always try to make children feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for.

⸻ Since 2007, I have dedicated my professional life to working with children and supporting their growth, development, and success. My background as a special education teacher has given me extensive experience working with children of different ages, personalities, learning styles, and abilities. Throughout my career, I have developed strong skills in patience, communication, organization, problem-solving, and emotional support, all of which I believe are essential qualities for an excellent caregiver and nanny. Working with children is more than just a job for me—it is something I genuinely enjoy and feel passionate about. I take pride in helping children build confidence, achieve goals, and feel safe, supported, and encouraged in their daily lives. As a special education teacher, I work closely with children who have unique learning and developmental needs. This experience has taught me how to be adaptable, compassionate, and attentive to each child’s individual personality and needs. I understand that every child learns differently and responds differently to situations, routines, and communication styles. Because of this, I always approach caregiving with patience, understanding, and flexibility. I believe children thrive best when they feel heard, respected, and cared for in a positive environment. Over the years, I have worked with students on academic goals, social skills, behavioral development, emotional regulation, and daily life skills. My work requires consistency, creativity, and the ability to remain calm under pressure. I have learned how to encourage children in a supportive way while also maintaining structure and routines that help them feel secure and confident. These same skills translate naturally into being a nanny and caregiver. I understand the importance of creating a stable, nurturing, and positive atmosphere where children can grow emotionally, socially, and academically. One of the things I enjoy most about working with children is helping them recognize their strengths and abilities. I believe every child has potential, and I enjoy finding ways to motivate and encourage them to succeed. Whether I am helping with homework, guiding a child through challenges, organizing activities, or simply spending quality time together, I strive to create meaningful interactions that support their development and happiness. I truly enjoy seeing children gain confidence, learn new skills, and accomplish goals.

Hi, my name is Naomi and I am a student studying to be Social Worker. I am offering child care of any age, pet care and household services. I have caregiving background through both personal and professional experience. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I am known for being reliable, patient, and kind. I care for my younger brother with autism, other children with different needs, my own child, and my dog. This has given me hands on experience with children of all ages, different needs, and pets. I provide safe, nurturing care, light housekeeping, and can also help with errands. Creating a supportive, trustworthy, and safe environment is always important. I welcome your questions and look forward to helping in any way I can :)

Hi there! My name is Michaela & I am a 30 year old cis-gendered woman with many years of experience working with children. In my earlier work experience, I worked for YMCA, SF State's Day Care, as well as growing up with a mother as a kindergarten teacher who loved being in the classroom along side her. Currently, I have experience working in healthcare at Kaiser Permanente & UCSF where I gained so much knowledge about mental health, diabetes, hypertension, and more. I worked with mostly adults, which would make me a great caregiver for seniors, as well as have the compassion and empathy needed for any household. I love pets, writing/reading, and being outdoors. I am also currently building my own consulting practice and looking for stable working hours with UrbanSitter. I look forward to connecting soon!

Hi there! I am employed full-time at a non-profit serving foster youth, and a part-time student at CSU East Bay, working to get my Master's in Social Work. I've always done babysitting on the side, but my two most recent families I babysat for were a couple with two boys (4 and 6) and a couple with a 1 year old girl, and a 6 year old boy. I did date nights for both of these families for five years. I enjoy babysitting (kids are so fun!), and strive to be a safe, nurturing presence when their parents/caregivers are away. I love being able to be goofy and creative with them too! If you have any more questions about me or my experience, please reach out!
