Booked by 1 family in Berkeley, CA

Hi! My name is Yoselyn. I am from Peru and I speak Spanish and English. I have over 8 years of experience working with children through volunteering, babysitting, and childcare support. I am very patient, caring, honest, and responsible. I have taken childcare and infant care courses, and I am trained in first aid. I have also participated in volunteer work with children, which strengthened my passion for childcare. I truly enjoy supporting children's development and helping them learn, explore, and grow in a safe and positive environment. I always prioritize children's safety and emotional well-being. I am looking for a respectful and safe environment where I can support families and be part of children's daily routine. In my spare time, I enjoy swimming, watching movies, riding my bike, exploring new places, and hiking. I would love the opportunity to bring my experience, care, and positive energy to your family and support your children's growth.

Yoselyn was great with my baby. She was always caring, patient, and dependable. I would definitely recommend her to any family looking for a kind and trustworthy nanny.

Hello families! My name is Tatiana. I have more than 6 years of experience in childcare, and I hold a degree in Education along with a diploma in Educational Management. 👩🏻‍🏫I’ve taught preschool and kindergarten, where I planned lessons, led interactive activities, and supported children’s learning and growth. I also spent two wonderful years as an Au Pair with the same host family, 🩷 worked as a full-time nanny for the past two years, 🥰and have done occasional babysitting through Care.com. I have cared for children of all ages, from infants to 12 years old. I’m creative and love outdoor activities, arts and crafts, and engaging kids in fun, meaningful ways. Families describe me as patient, organized, friendly, and positive. I’m CPR certified and always happy to help with routines, homework, and light household tasks.🫶🏼 I look forward to meeting your family and providing a safe, caring, and fun environment for your little ones!

Tatiana was wonderful with my 2 year old son and extremely helpful. She showed up on time and played with him the entire time. Would definitely book again

Dior 3 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Dior, and I’m currently a high school senior graduating on June 3rd. Since October, I’ve been working as an Assistant Kindergarten Teacher through an internship where I’ve gained hands-on experience working with children in both small groups and full classroom settings. My responsibilities have included leading classroom activities, helping plan lessons, grading, organizing and creating classroom decorations, and attending field trips with the classes. I have a letter of recommendation I can provide if needed from the teacher I work alongside. Through my ROP Developmental Psychology of Children course, I will also graduate with 6 college credits in Child Development. In addition to my elementary teaching experience, I have experienced babysitting throughout the years, which helped me become patient, responsible, and comfortable caring for children of different ages. I also have experience working with animals through volunteering at the East Bay SPCA caring for dogs and cats. Along with this, I have two years of experience working in the food industry, which strengthened my communication skills, responsibility, and ability to work in fast-paced environments. I’m dependable, caring, organized, and passionate about creating a safe and positive environment for children.

I am happy to recommend Dior Cooper for any babysitting or childcare position. Dior has worked in my kindergarten classroom during the 2024–2025 school year and has been an incredible asset to our classroom community. Dior confidently helps manage and teach a class of 24 kindergarten students, supports small groups academically, and skillfully redirects behaviors with patience and care. She is especially thoughtful in supporting students socially and emotionally, comforting children when they are upset and helping them work through conflicts with kindness and maturity. Dior has joined us on several field trips, where she safely supervised groups of young students and demonstrated excellent responsibility and judgment. She is reliable, highly communicative, kind, and wonderful with children. I would confidently recommend Dior for any babysitting or childcare position and trust her to provide safe, caring, and engaging support for children.

Booked by 2 families in Berkeley, CA

Hello! I’m currently looking to offer support with child care, senior care, household help or pet services. I am located in Oakland! I have over 10 years of babysitting experience and recently became an aunt! I worked for 4 years in Vietnam teaching English and cooking classes to children of all ages! I also have more than 5 years of senior care experience. I cared for a senior neighbor during her final years, as well as my grandfather who lived with my family. I truly value spending time with seniors. Around the house, I’m happy to help with chores, organization, decluttering and cleaning — I love to bring some calm to a once hectic space! And as a pet parent to three cats, I love pets of all kinds. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning, playing or taking your pets for a walk, I’d enjoy doing it all. In my free time, I enjoy sewing, knitting, and working on DIY projects — I love anything creative and hands-on. I also make time for outdoor exercise, whether it’s hiking, biking, or just soaking up some sunshine. I look forward to meeting your family and helping make your day a little easier. Monica

Extremely professional. Really helpful. Reliable and autonomous with appropriate level of inclusion

Zaineb 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Berkeley, CA

Hello! I am Zaineb and currently a school based social worker. I am offering child care, pet care as well as household services. Ever since I was young, I have loved caring for children whether it was a sibling, older cousin or friend. I have been an educator in the public school system for the last 6 years working with kids from as little as kindergarten to seniors in high school. I enjoy playing games, doing crafts and most importantly, getting to know kids and their interests and hobbies. As a babysitter in the past, I have been responsible for after-school care, cooking meals and putting kids to bed. I am also happy to help out with household tasks like cooking, cleaning and running errands. I can also pet sit; I grew up caring for my family’s cat and currently live with 2 cats. I don’t have a lot of experience caring for other animals but am willing to learn!

"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)."
