Lauren 2 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Berkeley, CA

Hi, my name is Lauren and I'm a 24 year old Bay Area native. I grew up in San Mateo and went to SI in the Sunset for high school! I graduated from Northeastern University in 2024, and have been working in tech since. In my free time, I’m super passionate about health and wellness, fitness, and cooking. I am offering child care and household services and have a flexible schedule right now during the week through the end of September. I’m an energetic, responsible, respectful, kind and caring person and have a background volunteering with children and adults with disabilities. I also have lots of experience looking after friends and families, and was a babysitter in college. More than happy to cook, clean, and run errands. As an older sister, these things come naturally to me! I have booked with five families on UrbanSitter in the past, and am looking to babysit again, tutor, or help around the house. Happy to provide a reference.

Booked by 1 family in Berkeley, CA

Hi, my name is Marcie and I have two kids of my own who are now 28 and 23. Both of my kids have moved away from home and I now have a lot of free time. I work for UCSF Pediatric Neurology full time but my days end early. I created an urban sitter account to helps parents in need in the afternoon and occasionally on the weekends. I have years of experience with kids due to having my own but I also occasionally help out with my sisters daycare. We care for 4-6 children ages 6 months - 5 years old.

“Our daughter loved her time with Marcie! She is amazing and we can't wait to have her over again.”

Meagan 3 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi I’m Meagan, I am a person who is passionate about caring for and teaching young children from infants through age 5. I have 23 years of child care experience. I am CPR and first aid certified, I am a creative and active person who enjoys helping children explore the world through art, music, outdoor activities, and sensory play. I have 72 units of early childhood education including infant and toddler development courses. I’m fluent in English. I also speak Spanish, some Portuguese and a little bit of French. I enjoy watching children explore the world around them and conquer the challenges life puts on their paths. My care taking style is play based because I believe children experience the world best when they are actively engaged in playing, exploring and using their imaginations to create new experiences for themselves. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask me. I look forward to speaking with you soon! Respectfully, Meagan

Below are a few of many: -Very reliable -Over 20 years of experience -Extremely passionate and knowledgeable about early childhood development -CPR and first aid certified -Drives and has all the gear needed to take your kiddo on fun adventures! -Planned fun activities with our little guy.

Played a large role in our kids growth, enrichment and emotional development. Cant recommend Megan enough. Her passion is working with kids and a new family would be very luck to have her!”

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Kinga for the past three years, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is incredibly responsible, kind, and truly understands how to care for and manage children in a thoughtful, structured way. She communicates clearly and speaks perfect English, which has been especially helpful for both day-to-day coordination and supporting my children’s learning. She’s also been a huge asset academically—able to assist with tutoring and reinforce good study habits. What really sets her apart is her ability to balance warmth with structure. She knows how to set appropriate boundaries while still creating a positive, supportive environment where kids feel safe and cared for. She’s reliable, drives, and is always punctual and professional. Any family would be lucky to have her.”
