Hello, My name is Tatiana, I’m 29 years old. I’ve taken numerous child development courses, in efforts to gain the knowledge to better help support the children I care for. My passion is to create a fun, safe space for children in order to occupy their time, such as art projects, outdoor play, sensory bins ect. I have nannied for several different families for the past nine years. I’m Cpr/First Aid/AED certified, I have my own car (clean record and car insurance), and professional references if needed.

Tatiana was wonderful to work with. She was professional and very caring, our son warmed up to her right away. Highly recommend!

Booked by 18 families in Albany, CA

Hi, my name is Livia, I’m currently a baby-sitter for 2 kids, and I love them. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, and toddlers since I was 18 years old. My responsibilities have included -driving to/from school -crafts, tutoring - feeding - bathing - cleaning after the kids - bedtime

Livia was lovely! She has a calming energy and took great care of our little one, even persevering through some initial separation anxiety. She arrived a little late due to unforeseen traffic, but was professional and thoughtful in communicating with us to let us know. Would definitely hire her again. Thanks, Livia.

Booked by 60 families in Albany, CA

Hi, my name is Amber I graduated from Cal State East Bay. I majored in nursing. Now I am a Home health Nurse. I am 26 years old. I offer senior care and child services. I have been a caregiver for seniors for the past 5 years. I do companionship, bathing, feeding, appointments, grocery runs. I have been a nanny on and off for the past 6 years. I hope to work with kids in the near future in the medical field, so it’s been a great experience working with kids and just seeing how to react around them and how kids are and how patient we have to be when we are around them and they could teach you so many things and I love working with kids. I am a very outdoors person. I love hiking and I also love to read. I also speak 5 languages.

Ambar was amazing with my baby girl. She arrived earlier than scheduled time, was very professional and respectful. Baby was very calm and happy with Ambar. Throughout the time Ambar was singing to her, reading to her and playing with her. I would hire Ambar again in a heartbeat!

Booked by 8 families in Albany, CA

My name is Raine, I'm 20, and I'm based in Emeryville/Oakland! I'm a high school graduate as of 2024, and am in a course to become a Paraprofessional while working as a babysitter/nanny. I do not drive or have access to a car, but I can travel quite proficiently by foot, bike, and public transportation. Please let me know if your home is not accessible by public transit! I am available Monday-Friday, and occasional weekends. Please message me before booking to make sure we are a good fit! Some more about me: I previously have 4-5 years of experience working with kids at a Scandinavian Language School, in which I worked with kids from 2 years old to 11 years old. I additionally have experience and training with working with neurodivergent/autistic kids, and I'm more than happy to work with families who may have more complex needs. I also have many years of experience in babysitting, as well as pet-sitting and house-sitting! I am born and raised in the Bay Area, and I've been living in Oakland since the start of 2025. I'm a very creative person and love making art, and enjoy very hands-on activities. I'm both the oldest sibling and one of the oldest cousins in a relatively big family, and have found that I'm very good with kids. I genuinely enjoy working with and spending time with kids a lot, and I feel it’s a very rewarding and fun job! Thank you for considering me :)

Raine was wonderful! She was available to help last-minute, and my daughter connected with her very quickly and easily. She helped make her food , engaged her throughout the booking, and was professional and prompt with communication with me. Will definitely hire her and recommend her wholeheartedly. Thank you!

"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)."
