Aurora $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi ! My name is Aurora and I currently work as a ParaEducator and an After School teacher for an Oakland Middle School. I have been working with kids for about 6 years now, not including my volunteer work for OUSD. I am 25 years old, born and raised here in Oakland. I love working with children and what I have learned working with youth is the impact one can have on them. I have learned that children need a patient and understanding adult so they can succeed and thrive. Also, I get to learn a lot from kids! Every child is different and I love to learn from them. Outside of work, I like to spend the evenings with my dog and take him to the park or on walks. I'm fluent in English and Spanish and do my best to create a warm and safe environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for. I am very flexible with hours! I work Monday-Friday from 8a.m-6 p.m. Feel free to reach out and we can work a time out!

Navie $28 per hour for 1 child

I graduated in 2024 with a degree in Liberal Studies, with a strong focus on education and child development. I currently work as an English Literacy Interventionist, where I support students in building reading and writing skills through personalized, engaging instruction. I bring over 6 years of babysitting experience, along with 1.5 years working in a daycare setting caring for both infants and toddlers. In the daycare, I was responsible for supervising up to four infants or six toddlers at a time, ensuring a safe, structured, and nurturing environment. My experience extends beyond traditional classrooms, as I’ve worked in a variety of nontraditional teaching and caregiving settings. This has helped me become adaptable, patient, and attentive to each child’s unique needs. I prioritize creating a safe, educational, and fun environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and confident relying on me as a trusted adult. I also have experience caring for both dogs and cats during babysitting jobs and genuinely enjoy being around pets.

Mariana $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Mariana. I’m open to full/part time care opportunities. I am also available for occasional sitting so please reach out for availability. I have prior experience working at licensed care facilities for UCSF and Salesforce but am looking to transition to personal care after some time off. I am passionate about early childhood education and providing one on one care will allow me to dedicate more time to interact and engage with your child. I also enjoy sharing age appropriate arts and crafts, reading and visiting nearby parks and libraries if permitted. I have prior experience managing daily care needs such as, preparing snacks and following any dietary guidelines set by parents and care givers, changing diapers and assisting with potty training and following nap schedules. In addition to maintaining a safe and nurturing environment, I am open to helping with light household tasks during downtimes and keeping things tidy. I’m like to keep open communication with parents and caregivers to provide the best care and support. Happy to answer any other questions. Best, Mariana

"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."

"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)."
