Isabella $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi, Im Isabella a Sophomore at UCSB studying Environmental Studies. I’m offering child care and if needed light household care with it. I just started with UrbanSitter! I have worked with kids for around 3 years now. I’ve worked at the boys and girls club, science nights for elementary schools, teaching elementary students with Sprout Up, and have done babysitting before I would be a great tutor for pre-k to 3rd grade if wanted mostly in reading. I can do errands around the house as well depending on the task. I also have worked at an animal shelter only for a little bit have been dog sitting dogs since elementary school for family and friends!

Rosie $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Rosie. I have over 10 years of childcare experience, including roles as a babysitter, nanny, and camp counselor. I have my Bachelor's degree in Stage Management, and work full-time with a theatre coordinating the logistics of child performers. I'm first aid and CPR certified, as well as have my own car and feel comfortable driving children if needed. I can help with light child-related housework, meal preparation, and schoolwork. I have experience with children from infants to middle schoolers and love spending time with all ages. While with the children I’m watching, I enjoy doing crafts, puzzles, playing outside, reading, and having dance parties! I'm currently available for date nights and occasional mornings throughout the week. I'm excited to get to know you and your family!

Booked by 10 families in Emeryville, CA

Hi! My name is Kate and I’m 23 born and raised in San Francisco. Currently I’m taking a gap year before continuing to law school next fall and would really like to continue working with kids till than. As a caregiver I really enjoy getting to know who the child really is so that I can meet at their level to be as helpful as possible. I love to have fun and explore with the kids I work with, even if it means jumping in muddy puddles outside. I am incredibly organized, on top of schedules/assignments, and am more than happy to help with a bit of housework. My schedule is very flexible so if there is a spontaneous date night or Sunday playdate, I am happy to jump in to help ease your world. I am CPR and First Aid certified and am fully up to date on all vaccinations/health needs. I am happy to provide documentation for any of that if you would like to see it. I also have a car that I can use to get to and from work, however, I would not be able to use it to transport kids. Prior to this past summer I don’t have much formal childcare experience, however I’ve been babysitting on and off since I was in high school. Over the summer I was a camp counselor for 3-6 year olds at the Greensboro Country Club and I also worked in their drop in daycare center which took kids 6 weeks-10 years. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your family more, so feel free to reach out!

Kate communicated well, on time, and took great care of our 3 year old in Noe Valley. we would recommend Kate and definitely look forward to her help in the future! thank you!

Hello everyone! I'm currently looking for a part-time nannying position while I'm in grad school (hoping for at least 20/hrs). I have extensive experience working with children in a variety of settings, including as a Pre-K and kindergarten assistant teacher, ABA technician, and as a Therapeutic Teacher that supported unhoused school-aged youth. I’m a patient, compassionate, and reliable caregiver who genuinely loves to work with kids and likes to keep things fun. I’m also a big animal-lover and would be open to caring for pets as well!

Deverly $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Deverly. I’m currently looking for afternoon babysitting and weekend care, and I’m happy to help families who need flexible support. I’ve been caring for children for about 2-3 years now, not including the experience and time I’ve taken care of my younger siblings, and nieces. I am responsible, patient, and attentive, with strong multitasking and communication skills. I create a safe, supportive environment and enjoy helping children feel comfortable and cared for. My reliability and love for kids make me a strong caregiver. I was also a dedicated caregiver for a woman living with multiple sclerosis (MS) for nearly five years, offering patient, reliable care and emotional support.
