Find a last-minute babysitter in Alameda, CA

Hi! I'm Shae and I am a flight attendant based in San Francisco, originally from Iowa. While I am new to UrbanSitter, I am not new to providing child care. I began babysitting for family friends and families around my neighborhood when I was 13 years old. My mother also ran an in-home daycare business for most of my younger life and I always loved getting home from school and running over to help her care for the infants/toddlers. Being a flight attendant is my full time job but I am looking to cut back on flying all around the world and spend more time at home. My job is flexible and allows me to have a lot of availability. I am a very crafty person. In my free time I love to do puzzles, make things out of clay, sew clothing and household goods, and any other crafts that may peak my interest. I love to entertain children with hands on crafts. At previous jobs I also really enjoyed taking the children on daily outings like walks to the park, hiking, or to a museum or the library. I currently live in Oakland and am happy to travel to jobs nearby in the city or surrounding areas. I previously lived in North Beach so I am familiar with areas in the city as well as the east bay. My flight attendant training lends well to caring for children as I have become accustomed to diffusing meltdowns and handling stressful situations. I have also dealt with a handful of serious medical events through my job and am trained in CPR (both for infants and adults), how to use an AED, choking, seizures, and other first aid. Also, I have people close to me who are autistic so I am well equipped with the tools needed to care for someone on the spectrum. I am looking forward to being an instrumental part of caring for you child. If you think we would be a good fit, please reach out. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hey families! I’m Rachel, originally from Germany, and I’ve been living in the US since 2023. Watching kids grow, learn and explore the world around them brings me so much joy and I take pride in contributing to their development in a meaningful way. With my previous experience as a babysitter, I’ve been entrusted with caring for children of various ages, helping with everything from daily routines to educational activities and outings. My hands-on experience has equipped me with the skills to handle different situations, ensuring both safety and fun for the children in my care. I’m well-organized, attentive, and nurturing, with a strong sense of responsibility. I’m also comfortable with light housekeeping, meal prep, and helping with homework. My fluency in both English and German also allows me to introduce a bit of language learning to curious little ones! I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and support you. Please feel free to reach out—I’m excited to meet you and your little ones!
