Find an emergency babysitter in Alameda, CA

Hi everyone! My name is Francesca and I’m currently a full time graduate student looking to work closer to my school with a more flexible schedule. I currently go to school for psychology in a dual masters program for MFT/LPC and forensic psychology. I also work with children 11-17 years old that struggle with their mental health that also have various medical conditions which helps provide me knowledge and experience when it comes to medical emergencies. Not only am I BLS certified, but both of my parents are also nurses so I’ve been around medical knowledge for a very long time. I love working with children of all ages and enjoy cleaning, cooking, and taking care of others. I have experience with kids of all ages from 3 months old to 17 years old. My babysitting experience started when I was 16 years old and began in the family. I took care of my baby cousins who were 8 months old and 6 years old. The 8 month old baby boy is also autistic which taught me so much patience and understanding at such a young age which I continued to grow and develop these skills. The most recent family I was a babysitter for moved to Texas a couple years ago but the children in my care were 18 months old and 4 years old. I was with the family for 3 years but within those years, it has taught me so much and brought so much joy into my life. Activities I enjoy doing are teaching children new skills, tutoring for school, and playing games with kids to keep their minds and bodies active. Working in my current job has also taught me many new arts and crafts skills that I enjoy teaching and sharing with others. When it comes to senior care, I only have experience through family. I have had close relatives who unfortunately became very sick and dependent of care takers and I was able to have the experience of taking care of them by helping transfer them from a wheelchair to the bed, adjusting their bed to ensure stability and comfort, how to keep them clean and fed, and to also keep their minds occupied and happy. I am naturally a caretaker and enjoy being able to care for all no matter the age. I am able to help cook, clean, run errands, and provide transportation. I have a great love for animals of all kind and would also enjoy/be comfortable working with them as well. I’ve had animals all of my life and currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats who I love spending my time with.

Hi, I’m Ana! I’m a proud mother of three grown children and have dedicated the past 15 years to working in schools. Throughout my career, I’ve served as a campus monitor, instructional assistant, and currently as a paraprofessional, supporting and encouraging children ages 4–10.

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.

Hi I’m new to Urban sitter but have been active on Care.com the past 6 + years! I have lots of positive reviews and referrals on my care account id love to send if you are interested! I wanted to use this site to offer my occasional and date night nanny services. My name is Bridget and I’m a 26 year old flight attendant! I worked at a day care before I started flying 7 years ago and while flying I have worked for many families occasionally babysitting. I did take a little over a year off flying where I left my last airline in Arizona (where I’m born and raised) to move to the Bay Area where my Dad and other family are at. I started nannying in Marin where I got introduced to a family needing more of a family manager role. The kids were 10, 13, and 16. I gained a lot of experience doing that for about a year and a half then got hired at southwest as a flight attendant. I don’t have a very constant free schedule but I do have flexibility and time off where I have been occasionally nannying. I’d love to help your family out with occasional childcare and date nights! Feel free to reach out and I’ll let you know my availability.
