Find a last-minute babysitter in Alameda, CA

Hi! My name is Pamela, and I am currently a student at City College of San Francisco (CCSF) studying Child Development. I am a friendly, bubbly, and caring person who loves working with children, helping families, and creating positive experiences for those around me. I have hands-on experience working with children as a Teacher Aide at a preschool, where I assist with classroom activities, supervise children, support their social and emotional development, and help create a safe, fun, and engaging learning environment. I also have volunteer experience working with children through summer programs, organizing activities such as arts and crafts, cooking projects, games, outdoor adventures, and field trips. Watching children learn, grow, and have fun is something I truly enjoy. In addition to my childcare experience, I have over five years of customer service experience, which has helped me develop strong communication skills, patience, reliability, and the ability to adapt quickly to different situations. I am comfortable interacting with people of all ages and pride myself on being dependable, organized, and trustworthy. I am available to provide childcare services, including babysitting, homework help, playtime activities, meal preparation, bedtime routines, and creating a safe and nurturing environment for children. I understand that every child is unique, and I strive to meet each family's individual needs. I also offer pet care services. As a cat owner myself, I understand the importance of ensuring pets feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while their families are away. Whether it's feeding, playtime, companionship, cleaning litter boxes, walks, or general pet care, I am happy to help keep your furry family members happy and safe. In addition, I provide household services to help busy families manage their daily routines. These services can include light housekeeping, tidying up play areas, organizing, laundry, meal preparation, washing dishes, running errands, and helping maintain a clean and comfortable home environment. My goal is to provide families with peace of mind by being a reliable, caring, and responsible helping hand. Whether you need childcare, pet care, or household assistance, I am committed to creating a positive experience and supporting your family's needs. I look forward to connecting with you and helping however I can!

I’m new to UrbanSitter, but I bring many years of experience working closely with people and families in roles requiring maturity, good judgment, warmth, and reliability. I’m especially comfortable with the practical rhythm of helping a household run smoothly—school pickups and driving, errands, meal preparation, light household organization, time with children, and caring for pets. I’m active, energetic, and genuinely enjoy being engaged rather than simply supervising from the sidelines. My professional background is in coaching, movement, mindfulness, and wellness, so I’m accustomed to working with people in a patient, attentive, and grounded way. I communicate clearly, notice what needs attention, and understand the importance of respecting each family’s routines and preferences. I’m currently most interested in part-time, temporary, occasional, or coverage needs, including date nights, weekend help, transportation, errands, and family-assistant support. And as a devoted dog person myself, I’m very comfortable in homes with pets.

I’m a dependable and compassionate nanny with several years of experience caring for children of all ages, including those with special needs. I’ve completed Human Growth and Development and Teaching coursework, which helps me understand children’s emotional and developmental stages. I’m patient, creative, and love keeping kids engaged through play, learning, and routine. I’m also comfortable with pets, light housekeeping, and school pickups. Families describe me as reliable, calm under pressure, and easy to communicate with.

Hi families! My name is Arnelyn and I graduated from UC Davis in 2021 with a major in Psychology and minor in Sociology. I am excited to offer childcare support and household support if needed. I have worked with children for as long as I can remember. I am the eldest of 5 children so I’ve had my fair share in having to babysit and watch my siblings. In addition, I have almost 5 years experience working in Youth Development as a Program Leader and Program Coordinator for an afterschool program. I have had the opportunity to work with school aged children from TK all the way to 5th grade. I currently work in the social services department where I work closely with adults and their children. I can support children with homework, reading, and arts & crafts activities. I am excited to meet your family!

Hi! My name is Claire and I recently graduated from the University of San Francisco with a Bachelors in communication studies. I have been babysitting since freshman year of high school and also have four years of experience coaching kids soccer both boys and girls ages 5-10.
