Hello! I am Amanda and I am a social worker by day and looking to become a family's go to date night sitter. I have experience professionally in the field of social work with kiddos of all ages and developmental capabilities as well as experience as a nanny/ caregiver. I consider myself as playful and imaginative as a sitter usually playing with toys or outside games. I just became a verified children’s yoga instructor so I’m happy to do some fun age appropriate poses with your kids. I am very respectful of family schedules, routines, and helping kids feel as comfortable as possible while their parent(s) are away enjoying some much needed kid free time.

Hi! I'm Shae and I am a flight attendant based in San Francisco, originally from Iowa. While I am new to UrbanSitter, I am not new to providing child care. I began babysitting for family friends and families around my neighborhood when I was 13 years old. My mother also ran an in-home daycare business for most of my younger life and I always loved getting home from school and running over to help her care for the infants/toddlers. Being a flight attendant is my full time job but I am looking to cut back on flying all around the world and spend more time at home. My job is flexible and allows me to have a lot of availability. I am a very crafty person. In my free time I love to do puzzles, make things out of clay, sew clothing and household goods, and any other crafts that may peak my interest. I love to entertain children with hands on crafts. At previous jobs I also really enjoyed taking the children on daily outings like walks to the park, hiking, or to a museum or the library. I currently live in Oakland and am happy to travel to jobs nearby in the city or surrounding areas. I previously lived in North Beach so I am familiar with areas in the city as well as the east bay. My flight attendant training lends well to caring for children as I have become accustomed to diffusing meltdowns and handling stressful situations. I have also dealt with a handful of serious medical events through my job and am trained in CPR (both for infants and adults), how to use an AED, choking, seizures, and other first aid. Also, I have people close to me who are autistic so I am well equipped with the tools needed to care for someone on the spectrum. I am looking forward to being an instrumental part of caring for you child. If you think we would be a good fit, please reach out. I look forward to hearing from you!
“Shae is a wonderful sitter. Very warm and kind and my toddler girls took to her instantly. Played with them at the park for a very long time. Definitely recommend her! ”
Hi! I'm a student at Columbia University with over five years of babysitting experience and currently work as a Senior Counselor at UC Berkeley's Explorer Camp, where I've spent the past two summers working with children ages 5–6. I'm CPR certified, have a reliable car and can provide transportation if needed, and I'm happy to help with housekeeping, meal prep, laundry, and other household tasks. I also grew up with multiple dogs, so I'm very comfortable caring for pets and am happy to help with them too! I'm fluent in English and comfortable speaking Spanish. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide dependable care!

As a certified teacher with a decade of childcare experience, I'm passionate about nurturing children's growth. My calm and creative personality helps me engage children in educational and fun activities. I keep parents updated on their child's day through written reports and use their preferred communication method. I'm comfortable following the household rules set by the parents and have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. I'm also fluent in English and Portuguese. Adding to all, I am certified for First Aid and Child Nutrition and Cooking. By now, my priority is to keep the kids safe while nurturing a playful environment where they can develop their set of skills and personality. I`m fully vaccinated. I believe in supporting families and providing reliable care. It brings me joy to see the positive impact I have on children's lives. I would be thrilled to be a part of your family and look forward to getting to know you and your children.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
