Booked by 6 families in Alameda, CA

I am currently a senior at San Francisco State University, about to graduate with my bachelors degree in cj studies! I have many experience taking care of my younger siblings and baby cousins (from the ages of 9mo to 9yo). I also have experience babysitting on urbansitter from the ages of 2-9 for about 2+ years. In total i've worked with babies for 3-4 years not including watching my younger siblings. I am independent and responsible especially with kids. I love making up stories, songs, dances and other activities with the kids. I feel that I could teach children if my assistance is needed and I could even work around my schedule to work more days if needed. At the moment i am looking for part time but am open to one time gigs as well!

Sara has been our regular babysitter for a few months now, and we look forward to having her in the house. She is kind, reliable, and has formed a wonderful connection with our children. Our little one adores her, and Sara ensures safety and happiness at all times and makes sure to keep our picky eater fed. His favorite game is playing make belief at home and sh is always happy to engage in it with him. She takes him on fun adventures to the playground, zoo, and the occasional ice cream treat. Her ability to handle a moody pre-teen is also impressive, and our older child has developed a good rapport with her. Sara's dedicated and and formed a genuine bond with our kids. We hope she'll continue to be our sitter for the long term. We highly recommend her to any parents in need of a trustworthy and caring babysitter!

Hello families, I'm excited to introduce myself as a caring and experienced caregiver and educator originally hailing from Brazil. Fluent in both Portuguese and English, my background as an English teacher in Brazil for over 8 years allowed me to not only refine my language skills but also develop effective communication with children and their parents. I am currently looking for a part time position to start soon. If you believe I could be a great fit for your family, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'd be delighted to answer any questions you may have and discuss how I can provide the best care for your children.

Hi - my name is Sinead, I am Irish and have lived in the US for 9 years. While I am new to Urban Sitter I am not new to babysitting. Currently nannying for a sweet 14 month old on Tuesday’s and Thursday - would love to find more work on Monday, Wednesday and Friday! I love being a babysitter and have been watching toddlers and kids since I was 15 years of age. I have worked with children from many different ages - infants up to teenagers. I am an auntie for five wonderful nieces and nephews so I understand how busy family life can get. Ive worked in many different industries over the years so I am no stranger to work as a household assistant and can cook, clean and run errands. I also happy to work with families that have animals.

Hi parents !! I am Paulina 25 years old, I’m from Mexico. I got graduated from Law School in Mexico. I have been working with kids since I was 16 years I can consider myself with enough experience with kids between 0-12 years old. I’m a lovely person that love to spend some of my free time with kids. I would love to meet you and chat :)

Paulina did a great job with our 9 month old, giving him a bottle and helping him settle for bed. Would (and will) hire again!

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
