Find an emergency babysitter in Emeryville, CA

I’m new to UrbanSitter, but I bring many years of experience working closely with people and families in roles requiring maturity, good judgment, warmth, and reliability. I’m especially comfortable with the practical rhythm of helping a household run smoothly—school pickups and driving, errands, meal preparation, light household organization, time with children, and caring for pets. I’m active, energetic, and genuinely enjoy being engaged rather than simply supervising from the sidelines. My professional background is in coaching, movement, mindfulness, and wellness, so I’m accustomed to working with people in a patient, attentive, and grounded way. I communicate clearly, notice what needs attention, and understand the importance of respecting each family’s routines and preferences. I’m currently most interested in part-time, temporary, occasional, or coverage needs, including date nights, weekend help, transportation, errands, and family-assistant support. And as a devoted dog person myself, I’m very comfortable in homes with pets.

Hi there! I'm Charlotte. I have a degree in Sociology from the USF, and I have been caring for children for 12 years as a babysitter/nanny. I am currently a full time nanny for a one year old in Bernal Heights for 3 weeks of the month, every 4th week the baby is cared for by her grandmother, and I am looking to pick up some short term/date-night gigs during that week, or evening gigs during the other weeks. I have a lot of experience working with infants and toddlers, as well as caring for multi-child homes with 4+ children. I truly love working with kids, I am a certified yoga instructor and have worked at a kids summer theater camp. I can provide multiple references upon request.

Hello! I’m currently living and working at a Buddhist monastery in San Francisco, where I meditate daily and study Buddhist psychology. I’m preparing to begin graduate school this fall to become a therapist, and I bring a calm, attentive, and compassionate presence to my work with children. I’ve spent many years caring for kids in a variety of settings. I grew up babysitting and recently returned from Asia, where I worked as a camp counselor in Japan leading groups of children and supporting ADHD, autism, and mental health needs. I’ve also taught English to children in Vietnam and worked as a tutor in the U.S. for two years. I love to dance, play, and do crafts, and I enjoy creating a fun, supportive, and safe environment.

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 :)

Having just completed my master's degree in Global Health, I have recently moved to San Francisco and am looking to work in childcare while I get settled. I have steadily watched children of all ages (anywhere from 4 months to 11 years) since I was a young teenager. I last worked as an after-school nanny to a five-year-old boy while I was getting my undergraduate degree in Washington, DC. I have also worked as an English literacy tutor for kindergarteners. I genuinely adore children, and would love to help your family out! I am also happy to provide references. In my free time, I love to practice yoga, rock climb, cook, and explore the city's parks and museums.
