Booked by 3 families in El Sobrante, CA

Hello Families! I'm Natalia, I'm thrilled to introduce myself to you. With three children of my own, I have a deep love for working with kids and ensuring top-notch care. My interests span a wide range, from reading books, singing, and crafting, to face painting, playing ,engaging in sports, and dancing. I'm passionate about following children's lead and fostering their imaginations. In addition to nurturing children, I'm here to lend a hand to parents with household chores. With 16 years of experience working with children of various ages and a decade specializing in infants and toddlers, I'm confident in my role as a dedicated caregiver. References from families in the Bay Area can vouch for my commitment and skills. I'm bilingual, a creative spirit, and known for my positive and cheerful personality. Safety is paramount, and I hold CPR training and have received COVID-related vaccinations. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me. I'm excited about the opportunity to collaborate with you and build strong relationships with parents and their families for future occasions. Plus, I offer face painting services for those special moments! šŸ˜‰ Once again, thank you for considering me, and I look forward to connecting with you soon!ā¤ļø

ā€œNatalia was a fantastic sitter for my 6 year old twins. She has a lot of energy and so many ideas for games to play and crafts to make. She kept them busy all day, both at home and at the nearby playground. We will definitely hire her again! ā€

Booked by 2 families in El Sobrante, CA

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!

ā€œRachel has been working with us continuously for about a year, making breakfast and lunch, driving the kids to school, and doing household tidy and organizing. We have three girls small to big, and she works really well with all their ages as well as wrangling them all together (which is not easy!). She's absolutely responsible, timely, and organized, as well as kind, calm, and thoughtful. We cannot recommend her more highly!ā€

Booked by 4 families in El Sobrante, CA

Hello! I am Amanda and I am a social worker by day and looking to become a family's go to date night sitter. I have experience professionally in the field of social work with kiddos of all ages and developmental capabilities as well as experience as a nanny/ caregiver. I consider myself as playful and imaginative as a sitter usually playing with toys or outside games. I just became a verified children’s yoga instructor so I’m happy to do some fun age appropriate poses with your kids. I am very respectful of family schedules, routines, and helping kids feel as comfortable as possible while their parent(s) are away enjoying some much needed kid free time.

ā€œAmanda was great! I’d recommend. ā€

Shae 1 review
$24 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in El Sobrante, 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!

ā€œShae is a wonderful sitter. Very warm and kind and my toddler girls took to her instantly. Played with them at the park for a very long time. Definitely recommend her! ā€

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. I have loved being able to share my love for soccer while coaching and really enjoy babysitting. I have grown up with dogs and have a lot of experience taking care of them as well. I studied abroad in Italy in 2023 where I interned at a local cooking school and cooking is one of my favorite things to do!
