Find an emergency babysitter in Alameda, CA

Hi! I'm Rachael. I'm 27 and live in the Marina. I found my passion for working with kids when I was 13 years old and became a mothers helper. From there, I've worked at different schools, internships at speech clinics, and eventually earned my Master's in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). I've also worked for several ABA clinics supporting children with disabilities, and I'm very comfortable with positive behavior strategies. I am experienced working with newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. What matters most to me is connecting with your child, using positive reinforcement (like praise, attention, and play), and creating a comfortable, safe space for them. When I'm with your child, you can leave and genuinely not worry. I come prepared with high energy and hands-on activities. 99% of the time, they're having so much fun that they forget to check the door :)

Hi, nice to meet you! I'm a medical student in SF looking for occasional and/or weekly babysitting. I've been babysitting for toddlers and elementary school aged kids since my high school years, but I am comfortable with kids of all ages! I love playing music, dancing, reading, cooking, and crafting with kids:)

Hi, my name is Lauren and I'm a 24 year old Bay Area native. I grew up in San Mateo and went to SI in the Sunset for high school! I graduated from Northeastern University in 2024, and have been working in tech since. In my free time, I’m super passionate about health and wellness, fitness, and cooking. I am offering child care and household services and have a flexible schedule right now during the week through the end of September. I’m an energetic, responsible, respectful, kind and caring person and have a background volunteering with children and adults with disabilities. I also have lots of experience looking after friends and families, and was a babysitter in college. More than happy to cook, clean, and run errands. As an older sister, these things come naturally to me! I have booked with five families on UrbanSitter in the past, and am looking to babysit again, tutor, or help around the house. Happy to provide a reference.

Hi, my name is Tyler, and I was born and raised in Burlingame and recently moved to San Francisco! I recently graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder and moved back home to start my career. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m excited to offer childcare, senior care, pet care, and household services to local families. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14, caring for infants, toddlers, and kids of all ages. My responsibilities have included driving to activities, organizing crafts, lifeguarding, tutoring, and more. In addition to childcare, I’m experienced as a household assistant and can help with cooking, organizing, running errands, and managing household tasks. I’ve also cared for my own grandparents, so I’m comfortable providing senior care, whether it’s cooking meals, driving to appointments, assisting with daily tasks, or simply offering companionship. I pride myself on being responsible, trustworthy, and great with kids—always ensuring their safety while making sure they have fun. I look forward to supporting your family!

Hi! I’m Fernanda, a speech-language pathologist from Chile with a strong background in early childhood development. I currently work as a nanny in San Francisco, caring for infants and toddlers. I specialize in language stimulation, sensory play, and structured routines. I’m warm, responsible, organized, and bilingual (Spanish/English). I’m also happy to help with meal prep, light housekeeping, laundry, and pet care. I truly enjoy creating a safe, nurturing environment where children can grow and families feel fully supported.
