Booked by 21 families in Albany, CA

My experience includes babysitting for parents i've met through jobs i've had in the past, friends & through this app. I've babysat throughout the summers & done after school care as well. I've also been working as a paraprofessional at a school here in Oakland for the past 2 years. I enjoy working with children and find it an extremely rewarding experience. I always make sure to take great care and exercise all precautionary measures to ensure the safety of the children. I feel that I have all of the necessary qualities that make a good babysitter. I am very respectful and will adhere to your house rules and also remind your child(ren) of the rules if needed.

Ezmeralda did a fantastic job with the twins and keeping them entertained. She was very patient and engaging, and the kids loved her. Thanks!

Booked by 76 families in Albany, CA

Hello parents! My name is Livia, I’m 32 years old, and I’m originally from Brazil. One of the things I love most about being a childcare provider is getting to know each child and building a genuine connection with them. Every child has their own personality, and I believe children thrive when they feel safe, respected, and truly seen. I love the Montessori philosophy and enjoy using many of its principles in my daily work. At the same time, I understand every family is unique, so I always respect each family’s parenting style and adapt my care to what works best for their child. I’ve been caring for children for several years in both Brazil and the U.S. I worked as an au pair from 2019 to 2021, and since then I’ve been working as a professional nanny, primarily with infants and toddlers while caring for children of all ages. I recently graduated from Berkeley City College with degrees in Liberal Arts and Gender Studies, and I continue taking courses in child development because I genuinely love learning. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, have completed Child Safety training through the American Red Cross Learning Center, and have a clean driving record with my own reliable car. One of the most meaningful experiences of my life was volunteering in Tanzania, where I cared for children in a daycare while supporting a girls’ education project. I speak Portuguese, English, and Spanish. I also spent three months living in Argentina, which helped me improve my Spanish while experiencing the culture. I love arts and crafts, reading, sensory play, outdoor adventures, and creating fun, developmentally appropriate activities. I’m available for date nights, weekends, overnights, travel, and I’m always happy to care for pets too. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family!

Best sitter I've worked with on this platform! :-) 11/10

Booked by 86 families in Albany, CA

Hi my name is Elexis and I currently attend Sacramento State University online. I have my AA in Psychology and obtaining my BA in Social Work. I have always had a love for youth because I grew up in a big family with lots of younger kids and siblings. I was always the one babysitting, and truly grew a love for it. I really enjoy working with children as I have worked with children since the age of 16. I have worked at multiple after school programs and boys & girls clubs from San Francisco to Sacramento. My career goal is to become a social worker for foster youth or become a preschool/kindergarten teacher one day. I have 5+ years of caregiving for seniors and 10+ years of experience working with youth/kids of all ages. I love working closely with families, building rapport, hanging out with the kiddos and being a helping hand whenever I can. It takes a village to raise a child and I love to be that breath of fresh air for parents. I have a puppy of my own, he is 3 years old. I am not afraid of big dogs. I am willing to walk, dog sit, feed and play with your fur baby no matter their age or size. Thank you for considering me and I look forward to meeting you and your family :) Cancellation Policy : Please let me know if you need to cancel at least 24 hours before scheduled date and time . - If you cancel less than 24 hours: I will expect 50% of what total payment would have been. Due to the fact that I schedule my days around when I have a gig/job.

Great

"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)."
