Michaela Oakland
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Michaela & I am a 30 year old cis-gendered woman with many years of experience working with children. In my earlier work experience, I worked for YMCA, SF State's Day Care, as well as growing up with a mother as a kindergarten teacher who loved being in the classroom along side her. Currently, I have experience working in healthcare at Kaiser Permanente & UCSF where I gained so much knowledge about mental health, diabetes, hypertension, and more. I worked with mostly adults, which would make me a great caregiver for seniors, as well as have the compassion and empathy needed for any household. I love pets, writing/reading, and being outdoors. I am also currently building my own consulting practice and looking for stable working hours with UrbanSitter. I look forward to connecting soon!

Ixchel Piedmont
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I am employed full-time at a non-profit serving foster youth, and a part-time student at CSU East Bay, working to get my Master's in Social Work. I've always done babysitting on the side, but my two most recent families I babysat for were a couple with two boys (4 and 6) and a couple with a 1 year old girl, and a 6 year old boy. I did date nights for both of these families for five years. I enjoy babysitting (kids are so fun!), and strive to be a safe, nurturing presence when their parents/caregivers are away. I love being able to be goofy and creative with them too! If you have any more questions about me or my experience, please reach out!

Hayward
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a bilingual caregiver with a heart for helping others. I’ve volunteered at children’s soccer camps in San Mateo and worked as a Spanish tutor in high school, giving me experience with kids of all ages. I’ve also cared for a child with disabilities and worked at a doggy day care, so I’m very patient and attentive. I’m CPR certified, dependable, and currently pursuing a career in nursing. I’m happy to help with light tasks or errands, caring for others comes naturally to me.

Bianca is an outstanding caregiver with extensive knowledge and a friendly demeanor. I have worked with her in the past as a former tutor at a childcare center, and I highly recommend her for caregiving roles. She consistently creates a safe, welcoming environment for children, making her an excellent choice for anyone seeking compassionate and reliable care.
