Hi! My name is Mikaela, and I’m a 30-year-old college graduate with a degree in Sociology and a minor in Child Development. I have over 15 years of experience working with children, from helping raise my siblings to serving as a summer camp supervisor for five years. While attending college in Texas, I worked in daycares and volunteered in a hospital maternity ward, which deepened my passion for supporting children and families. Since graduating, I’ve worked as a certified behavioral specialist supporting children on the autism spectrum, and I recently spent two years as a Special Education teacher before moving back to the Bay Area. Currently, I work as a behavioral specialist at a local school and babysit in my free time. Working with children isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s something I’ve built my career around!

Kayla is amazing! She did a great job handling our two young kids (4 and 1 years old) and was super sweet and friendly with them. They had a very positive experience. Highly recommend her!

➎➊🄌- ➌➑➎- ➐➐➐➏ I'm a One-Time, Occasional, DateNight and OverNight Care Provider servicing families in The East Bay w/ a 4 + Hour Minimum Per Booking. Unsure about my availability? Send a message or a request a booking. If I’m hired for a set number of hours, those hours need to be compensated in full - even if things finish earlier than expected. This ensures that my time is respected and I’m fairly compensated for committing to that availability. From my early teens, I've been dedicated to caring for children, and I've developed a profound understanding of the responsibilities and rewards that come with it. My 15 years of hands-on experience have prepared me to inspire and uplift Raise and Support families. My name is Jessica Rivera, a 32 -year-old mother of 2. I was born in Queens, New York and raised in San Francisco. I enjoy various activities such as cleaning and organizing spaces, cooking, painting, and reading and being a MUM. I'm fully vaccinated and can provide documentation upon request. I have experience working and volunteering in Home Day Cares, Centers, Churches and Homes with newborns, toddlers, school aged children and twins and multiples and pre teens. I am bilingual, in English and Spanish which allows me to support families who value a multilingual environment for their little ones. I offer high-quality childcare services to families, focusing on and engaging in customized learning and developmental experiences, such as outdoor exploration, reading and creative activities like building puzzles, arts and crafts projects and singing and dancing or baking! Additionally, I prepare healthy meals and snacks, and manage children's laundry, ensuring their clothing is clean, folded and put away and maintaining a tidy environment by putting away children's toys and washing bottles /sippy cups. I'm always willing to lend a helping hand. My main priority is the safety of your child, to always provide a safe and engaging environment for us both. With my strong motivation, responsible nature, and trustworthy character, I am dedicated to serving as a positive influence and role model, inspiring children to reach their full potential and seeing their growth. I'm happy to accommodate any special requests or concerns you may have. Please contact me with any questions you may have.

Hello! I was born and raised in Austria and came to the US as an Au-pair 20 years ago, so I also speak fluent German. It's simple really, I love children and they love me. As an Aries I am an eternal child and relate to children very easily. I enjoy reading with them, doing arts and crafts, building forts and being outside. I also like to include them into chores in a playful way to keep them humble and make them feel accomplished. Communication is the biggest key for me and I love listening to my lil client's stories all day! In a nutshell I am fun, responsible, reliable and have a lot of energy. My philosophy is that your child is as much of a client as you are, I customize my care to the needs of the client. Please note I am available to work holidays but charge time and a half for those days. New Years Eve is double. Policies: I have a 4 hour minimum booking policy. CANCELLATIONS: For cancellations with less than 24 hours notice, I expect 50% of the original booking amount, which can be paid via PayPal or Venmo. EARLY RETURNS: Because I plan my time and budget around the hours booked, I ask to be paid for the entire booking, even if you come home early. LATE RETURNS: I'm usually flexible on the end time of a booking, but please text/call me if you'll be late, especially if we have not discussed flexibility beforehand. I occasionally book jobs back to back with just enough time for travel in between, and your late return can have an unfortunate impact on my schedule. For nanny shares I charge $20 per child.

Complete rockstar! High energy for my son, interactive and engaging, so much fun!! Very professional and punctual!

Hello families! I love working with children and am looking for babysitting opportunities with kids of any age! I enjoy spending time with kids doing crafts, reading stories at bedtime, and keeping them happy and safe. Some of my hobbies include photography, singing, knitting, and yoga. I am a graduate of San Francisco State University, where I studied psychology with an emphasis on child development. I have been babysitting since high school and have worked with many local families with kids ages 0-13. I was a tutor for a year at an after school program where I facilitated activities and helped the children with their homework. After graduating college I worked for a year and a half at a group home for kids (ages 6 to 18) who struggled with regulating themselves during stress. One summer I also worked at a pre-school prep where I interacted with kids ages 8 months to 3 years doing activities such as reading, singing, crafts, art and other activities. And then most recently I taught mindfulness for two years at Oakland Public Schools and have been substitute teaching for the past year. I was very active for many years on Urbansitter back when it first started from about 2012 to 2017 and then I took a long break from it to focus on other career goals. Now I’ve decided to make a return to it since I’m on summer break and am hoping to continue with it into the next school year as I plan to be part time with my regular job. I currently live in San Leandro and am willing to go to Oakland, Hayward, Castro Valley, San Francisco and Lafayette. I look forward to hearing from you! Sheena

"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)."
