$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Michelle and I’m currently a student at CSU East Bay wrapping up my 3rd degree. I have a 16 year old son of my own as well as helped my family members care for their own children since I was 14. I have 2 psychology degrees and took a few child development classes during the course. I was also an adult care taker for about 5 years. I’m CPR/BLS certified.

Michelle is very reliable when providing child care for my twins. She’s really good at being creative at arts and crafts and outdoor play with them. She’s also very helpful with small chores around the house.

Hi! My name is Maya and i’m currently a student at Berkeley City College, with hopes to transfer into UC Berkeley next fall. I am offering babysitting as well as petsitting services. I love being a babysitter and taking care of children. I plan on working in education later on, and I have been taking care of young children of neighbors and family friends since I was a teenager. I have my own cat as well as a dog (German shepherd) of my own so I am completely happy with working with pets too!

Ashanti $33 per hour for 1 child

Hello Family, My name is Ashanti, I have been a nanny for 5 years along with baby sitting for 2 years. I love kids, I am super passionate about what I do. I work with majority infants, and toddlers and early age elementary kids. I’ve worked with all different types of families and children ( only child, twins, 3 and 4 kids at a time). I enjoy playing with them, teaching them new things, and also being able to be there for them; along with helping my parents that just need a little extra support. Some activities that I do with my children are outside time, story time, numbers and letter activities, and just making sure we meet milestone. I am currently in college studying criminal justice with a minor in psychology. I plan on working with children in the future that are in foster care. I am such a sweet and compassionate person with a understanding heart. I know it can get a little overwhelming being a parent so that's where I come into place. I also help prepare meal, helping clean up, help getting children on schedule to help for parents, school pick ups, night time nannying, I love doing activities as said before and creating memories is the most important thing. I DO NOT do screen time with my children, that is our time to interact with one another. I'm super big on communication with any of my parents I will always let you know what the child ate, I keep track of naps and bottles, and you will always know what our day consisted of. I am CPR and First aid certified due to the age group I work with. I can provide references as well. I would be ecstatic to meet you and your family and help out. Thank you for your time. - Ashanti

"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)."
