Booked by 2 families in Albany, CA

Hi! My name is Anele and I am in graduate school. I am offering childcare, senior care and household services including pet care I love working with kids and have worked with kids of all ages including ones with special needs. I have many nieces/ nephews and my little sister whom I have taken care of during her infancy. Formally, I was a full-time live-in nanny/au pair for two years watching toddlers: 3 and 5 years old and a 16 year old teen. We had two dogs which I cared for so I am comfortable with pet dogs and cats. I then spent 5 months caring for a 3 years old, often overnights. My duties have included preparing meals, dressing, bathing, bedtime, laundry, assisting with homework, school pick ups/drop offs, afterschool activities, household chores and engaging play, crafts, and outings including the park. I was also a camp counselor and educator for 8 years in total so I am very comfortable around children. I am trained in First Aid /CPR (currently working on recertification) and water safety, and have completed a course in early childhood development. I also work well with seniors having looked after my ill grandparents at various points of their lives. I am able to provide senior care and household services care by preparing healthy meals, laundry and housework chores, grocery shopping, organizing, cleaning up shared spaces, assisting with errands, appointments and social outings, etc. I look forward to meeting your lovely family and working with you!

We hired Anele for a 2 hours for the first time. Anele arrived on time with a smile on her face and started attending to my son right away, engaging in his interests , making sure he felt comfortable enough before us parents left the house. When we returned our son was disapointed that Anele had to go home. We will hire Anele again.

Booked by 6 families in Albany, CA

Hello, I’m Lieu’Miya! I’ve been caring for children since I was 16 and truly enjoy supporting their growth and curiosity. Over the years I’ve worked with multiple families, including caring for infants and toddlers, which has made me very comfortable with different routines and developmental stages. I’m currently a 19-year-old college student working toward becoming an engineer, so I naturally enjoy problem solving and finding creative ways to keep kids curious, engaged, and learning. I’m patient, calm, and very adaptable to different personalities and routines. Many people describe me as confident and hilarious (pfft!) as I bring positive energy while also creating a safe and steady environment for kids. I’m naturally kind, attentive, and emotionally aware, which helps me build strong, trusting relationships. I love getting kids outside for parks, walks, and little adventures, but I’m just as happy doing crafts, reading together, or winding down with quiet activities at home. I truly enjoy encouraging curiosity, kindness, and creativity, and I always adjust my approach to meet each child’s individual needs. More than happy to help with light tidying, meals, and some housework as I can understand the need for help! I personally love to clean and keep the place in shape for you. This is my first year using this platform, and I’m excited about the opportunity to connect. I’m currently looking for one-time and part-time options. I hope to work with you and your family soon :)

Booked by 8 families in Albany, CA

My name is Raine, I'm 19, and I'm based in Emeryville/Oakland! I'm a high school graduate as of 2024, and currently work at a Nature Pre-school. I do not drive or have access to a car, but I can travel quite proficiently by foot, bike, and public transportation. 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!

Booked by 1 family in Albany, CA

Hi, I’m Lolis!  I am open to all work, from babysitting to full-time nanny positions. While I am new to Urbansitter, I am not new to caregiving! I have over seven years of experience. I love children and care for them as if they were my own. I have immense respect for the fact that you are entrusting me with your child, and I do not take it for granted. For the past few years my work has included full time nannying for a child 6 months to 2.5 years old, as well as some part time nannyshare work. In that role, I managed all aspects of care - feeding, sleep, play, and socialization. When I am caring for your child, I tailor the experience to the family. I am very easily reachable, and will send you updates and pictures if you want. Feel free to contact me at any time to see how things are going! Have a high-energy toddler? I am happy to match their energy and take them to the park to run around and play. Is your child in the mood to stay indoors? I’d love to stay in and play with them. Does your baby have trouble sleeping in their crib? I will let them sleep in my arms to make sure that they get the rest they need. Nothing brings me more joy than watching children learn new things. I love being with them every step of the way and seeing them grow and achieve things on their own. I enjoy supporting their learning, and celebrating every accomplishment.

Lolis is a fantastic nanny and babysitter. She worked for us for two years while our son was 6 months to 2.5 years old. She still babysits fir us frequently, as our son loves her and we want to maintain the relationship. She is punctual, communicative, and professional. For the children, she is both loving and energetic. Any family would benefit from hiring her.

"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)."
