Find a last-minute babysitter in Piedmont, 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!

Hello! My name is Jia and I am a recent graduate from San Francisco State University. I have an extensive background working with children, mainly grades K-6th. I have worked at an afterschool/summer program for 6 years (2 years volunteer, 4 years paid), looking after around 50 kids at a time. My roles there included chaperoning on daily park trips and weekly field trips, taking care of lunch and cleanup operations, as well as tutoring on math and English. My top priority is to always ensure the children are safe, but also to add some fun into their day! I understand that every child has different needs, so I’m always adapting and learning as I go. I can assist with cooking/meal prepping, cleaning, and running any errands as well if necessary. I also speak Mandarin and Cantonese!

Hello! My name is Leo (he/him) and I am a PsyD student in Berkeley. I used to work as a paraeducator for both OUSD and AUSD before I became a full time student! I am currently/consistently babysitting for a family with a 3 year old whose primary language is Japanese. Responsibilities also include driving their child (with family’s car) to gymnastics, bring him to the park, potty training, bathing, and putting him to bed/naptime. I’ve also worked with high schoolers for 3 years and have been working with elementary schoolers for a little over a year. All of my coworkers and students would probably describe me as patient, easy going, and someone who has a good sense of humor :) I have also previously been certified as an EMT and worked as a vet tech for many years so I’ve definitely got the range of skills!

Hello, my name is Daniela. I am an experienced childcare provider. I work full time as a literacy teacher and as a 3rd grade afterschool teacher at a bilingual elementary school in SF. I have worked as an English teacher in Spain for the last two years, with students from Pre-K to high school. I enjoy working with all ages including middle schoolers. I love to craft, crochet, play sports, and go to the park when the weather permits. I teach chess, dance, and drama at my school so I enjoy fun table games and movement based activities. I speak multiple languages that being English, Spanish, and Portuguese. I work with students who are on the autism spectrum as well as students who have ADHD and work to accommodate all learning environments and help children build their behavioral skills in a kind way. I love what I do and very excited to work with you and your family! Please feel free to send me a message if you have any specific needs that you would like me to consider.

Hey families! I’m Rachel, originally from Germany, and I’ve been living in the US since 2023.
