$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Berkeley, CA

Hi, I’m Gabby! I’m currently in school working toward becoming a registered nurse, with hopes of specializing in pediatrics. I’ve been working with kids for several years through childcare agencies and private families, caring for children from newborns to school age. I’m comfortable with pickups and drop-offs, making meals and snacks, diapering, bedtime, homework, and taking kids to their activities. I also love doing arts and crafts, playing outside, going to the park, and keeping kids active and entertained. I’m patient, reliable, and really flexible with my availability and schedule.

“I highly recommend Gabriela. She is warm, communicative, and very responsible and reliable. I'm always nervous about introducing my kids to a new babysitter but they bonded with her instantly. She really has a way to putting kids at ease and quickly building rapport. That, combined with her great communication skills and professionalism, makes her a rare find!”

Angelique $28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Berkeley, CA

Hi! My name is Angie, and I’m 29 years old and based in Oakland.💗 I’m currently looking for babysitting and nannying opportunities throughout the East Bay. I have childcare experience from helping care for my younger siblings from the newborn stage as they grew up, along with a few babysitting jobs here and there. I’m patient, caring, dependable, and attentive, and I really enjoy creating a safe and comfortable environment for children. I’m also a pet caregiver through Rover 🐾 , so I’m very comfortable with dogs, cats, and other pets in the home. I’m currently pretty flexible with my availability and open to occasional babysitting, date nights, on call care, or a more consistent schedule. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and see if I’d be a good fit!💕

Jamie $23 per hour for 1 child

My name is Jamie, and I have over 5 years of experience caring for children, seniors, and homes with love and patience. I currently work as a teacher at a child care center, where I’ve had the joy of helping little ones learn, grow, and feel safe every day. I’m CPR certified and take pride in creating a nurturing, dependable, and organized environment whether I’m caring for children, assisting a senior, or keeping a home clean and comfortable. Families often describe me as kind, trustworthy, and easy to communicate with. I truly love what I do and always treat those I care for as if they were part of my own family. I’d love the opportunity to help make your days a little easier and brighter!

Carly $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Carly and I'm 29 years old. I have watched many kids over the years since I was around 14, as I used to babysit - and still babysit - my 2nd baby cousins and I have also babysat professionally through the Trusted app from August 2017-December 2017 and had to briefly take a break since I went to study abroad the following semester. I’ve babysat kids from months old up until about 7 years old throughout the years, though. I am back and ready to spend time with these sweet, imaginative kids! I love spending time with babies or kids because they have such amazing, intelligent minds and I love to watch them grow whether it is by height or through improvements in their education or just through their personality. I am really into arts and crafts and love to be active, so keeping up is really no problem for me. I can speak a bit of Spanish if you’d like me to speak with your child in conversational Spanish :)

Booked by 1 family in Berkeley, CA

Hi, my name is Lorena, and for over 20 years, I’ve had the joy of caring for babies and young children. As my current family prepares for preschool, I’m hoping to find a warm, welcoming family. I’m not just a nanny, I’m someone who wants to be part of your child’s journey, offering safety, love, and a gentle learning environment. I’d be honored to meet you and become a part of your family’s daily life. I’m available to begin on September 1st, and I’m fully flexible to accommodate your family’s needs. I look forward to connecting!

“Lorena had great communication and did a fantastic job of keeping the kids safe without “being sus” as my 9 year old says”

"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."

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)."
