*Note* Mainly accepting evenings or date nights. I would love to add more families to my roster of regulars; please feel free to text me if you are interested in a particular date! Hello parents! My name is Idallis (eyed-al-is). I’m a 27 year old Bay Area native with 9 years of experience as a member of Urbansitter. I have a background check, up to date vaccinations (including COVID booster and flu shot), 170+ positive reviews, and almost 700 bookings via this website. As a member of UrbanSitter, I’ve had full-time and part-time positions as well as one live-in position in 2020 with many wonderful families; additionally, I’ve been fortunate enough to have long-term relationships with some who have booked me regularly for date-nights for years. I use positive reinforcement as a form of discipline, and approach every situation with empathy and patience. What sets me apart is that I love my job, and most of the time - it doesn’t feel like one! I love working with children and encourage them to embrace their independence and explore their interests. While I work with a variety of age ranges, cumulatively I have the most experience with 1 to 2 year olds. However, I have gained a ton of experience with infants in the past three years (and I’m currently working with one!). I'm kind, charismatic, patient, and responsible. I studied art history for two years. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, baking, crocheting, and hanging out with my very affectionate cats or discovering locally owned restaurants with friends. Personal Policies/Requests: - I have a $120 minimum for each booking. Thank you! - I don’t drive so an Uber home or compensation is appreciated for evening bookings but of course, not required. - Please book alternative childcare if your child(ren) have symptoms of or have been diagnosed with COVID-19, flu, HFM, pink eye, and other highly contagious illnesses. I will also notify you if I have symptoms of anything contagious so that we can plan together accordingly.

Punctual & professional. The boys gave her two thumbs up!

Hi there! My name is Claire and I am an incoming sophomore at UCR offering dependable childcare, senior care, pet care, and household services. I am new to this app, however I have plenty of experience working with children. I have a genuine passion for taking care of others, managing a home, and bringing a warm, positive energy into every family I work with! 🤗 I have years of experience working with both children and seniors. I love engaging with toddlers and I have experience with taking care of babies! I’ve taken care of family relatives and I worked at an Elementary School after school program in the past. I assisted kids with their homework, did arts and crafts with them, changed diapers, etc. As an older sister, holding down the house and looking after others comes completely naturally to me! In addition to childcare, I am incredibly comfortable working with seniors. Through my volunteer work at Laguna Honda Hospital, I have experience holding meaningful conversations, and assisting with daily household tasks. I am a massive animal lover! If you have furry family members, I am more than happy to feed and care for them as well. Whether you need a helping hand with your kids, your loved ones, your pets, or your home, I am here to help! P.S. I am new to UrbanSitter but I’ve worked with 10 families so far! I hope I can work with your family next!

Claire was awesome and super sweet with our two year old! She had great vibes and endless energy, keeping him entertained all day. She was also totally unphased by him struggling with his afternoon nap - staying calm and patient to try and get him down and just rolling with it when he ultimately refused to go down. Will definitely have her back in the future!

Booked by 5 families in Daly City, CA

Hello! I’m Berkeley I have been working as a nanny, full and part time for 20 yrs. 15 of those years in San Francisco. I’ve truly enjoyed working with so many wonderful families and their cool kids over the years! Currently looking for a variety of work opportunities with new families. In addition to childcare, I’m also available for pet care and house sitting, and household services. Particularly good at keeping homes tidy, organizing, and helping in the kitchen. Experience with premature babies through 12 years old. The last 10 years almost exclusively with multiple children, siblings and twins. Mostly newborns and toddlers. The majority of jobs I’ve had started in infancy and transitioned into toddler years. My childcare style is patient, kind, calm. I have a solid understanding of developmental stages, age appropriate activities, and assistance in reaching learning milestones. Strong emphasis on communication and safety! I’m accustomed to the responsibilities of outings and activities, playdates, getting kids to the park is a favorite. I especially like being helpful in the kitchen with cooking and food prep. Used to handling kids laundry, bottle cleaning and sanitation, meal preparation, toy cleanup, keeping home tidy. Also happy to help out with light pet care around the house. Staying organized and adhering to schedules. Thank you in advance for your consideration! Sincerely, Berkeley B

Berkeley was an incredible nanny for our little one, from when he was about 6 months old to one year old. She’s extremely punctual, reliable, communicative, and tidy— and most importantly, so sweet and attentive with our baby. Going back to work was so hard, but Berkeley made that transition so much easier. We hope to see her again for random babysitting, etc.!
