I’ve been on UrbanSitter for the past 6 years, and working with kids is something I truly love. Whether it’s playing games, helping with homework, or just being a positive and caring presence, I enjoy building meaningful connections with the families I work with.
I am an experienced childcare provider with five years of experience as a preschool teacher, and five years of experience as a nanny in families homes. I love to plan fun art activities, spend time outside exploring the natural world and teaching kids the names of different plants, and reading stories. I am currently enrolled in an herbal medicine program and am looking for part time work. I have an Early Childhood Education Associate Teacher certificate from Merritt College as well as a bachelors degree in Gender Studies from Mills College.
“Forrest is totally trustworthy. Would recommend her to everyone!”
Hello! My name is Marleni and I love working with kids. I tutor kids in math, and babysit whenever possible. I know how to change diapers, cook, and entertain kids with books and games. Please feel free to reach out if you ever have a question. I hope you give me the opportunity to work with you. I also speak fluent Spanish, and would be willing to give lessons.
“Thanks Marleni!”
Hi my name is Leah! I am a pediatric mental health nurse and working on obtaining my doctorate to become a nurse practitioner. As a pediatric nurse, I am adept at handling emergency situations and comfortable adapting to behavioral challenges. I have been working with children for over 10 years as a camp counselor and special ed aide in addition to as a nurse. I am looking for occasional babysitting jobs to take on in my spare time and open to working on a semi consistent basis if I am a good fit for your family!
Hi, I'm Ananda. I have a lot of experience caring for and teaching children. I have 18 ECE units and experience in preschool, elementary school, summer camp, and art workshops. I really love working with young children. I'm patient, compassionate, and a very good listener. I love reading, doing art, playing at the park, doing puzzles, singing songs, and anything else that is fun for kids. I am currently an After School Art teacher at the elementary level. I am First Aid/ CPR certified and will mainly be looking for work during the school summer break this year and will be open to ongoing occasional work during the school year. I love spending time outdoors and the idea of taking a walk with a kid and a dog sounds like a perfect summer afternoon. I love animals and have some experience walking dogs. I have more experience with cats although I'm mildly allergic to them. Additionally, I have cared for an elderly person helping with errands, rides, and support after surgery or injury. I am very open to helping a senior person. I love art, music, nature, and good conversation. I am also a person with strong reuse, recycle and diy interests. I love to repair things, like jewelry and clothes, and even stuffies! I love to participate in our local fix it fests and repair cafes. I have been teaching kids to sew and do crafts for over 3 years now. I have experience running creative workshops, which have included making earrings, bracelets, tissue paper flowers, skewer sculptures, slime, play dough, hula hoops, and sugar skulls w/ royal icing for Day of the Dead. I also have experience teaching people to make sauerkraut and preserved lemons. Overall, being thorough with details and having clear communication is very important to me. I look forward to meeting possible families who like the sound of what I have to offer. Be well, and have a great day.
“Ananda was so great with my 6yr old son! It’s clear that she loves children and will definitely book again.”
