Booked by 37 families in Castro Valley, CA

*** Pease note that currently my availability is limited to only weekend babysitting care.*** Hello, my name is Clara, I have worked with children for the past 12 years. My childcare experience varies in ages from infant, toddler, preschool, and after-school age in a center-based setting. I also have experience with after-school pick-ups and caring for the child in evening hours until parents return home from work, weekend babysitting, and the occasional date nights for parents. Although I do not have kids of my own, I have gained valuable knowledge and experience. Through my education, hands-on experiences, and most of all the children in my care. I have learned from them what helps them grow and learn. During my time working with young children, I enjoyed building healthy interactions and relationships. A few activates I like to engage in during my time with the children are arts & crafts, storytime, talking nature walks, and sensory activities just to name a few. I speak both English and Spanish. I was born and raised in Californian by two loving parents and I am the youngest of four. Currently, I'm working at a center for infants and young toddlers. In the future, my goal is to become an elementary teacher where I can continue to forester the learning of children. The field of early childhood education is my passion. Caring for young children would be is so much more to me than just a job; it would mean a lifetime of experience for my future endeavors. I would love to make a difference in your little one's life. Thank you. :)

Booked by 3 families in Castro Valley, CA

Hello! My name is Rakita I have over 25 years of babysitting and nannying experience with ages newborn to 12 yrs. I love to have fun, play games, read and provide excellent care to my families. I love to find out what my children’s interests are and allow them to lead in their play. For the little kiddos - playdoe, music, coloring and/or making toy/lego art. A favorite of mine is making oooblek which is a wonderful goo that toddlers to 3rd graders love to make. I also love to incorporate fun meal prep activities based on a child’s food preference and allergies. So if your child would like, we can make ants on a log (celery, your preferred butter if not peanut and raisins) or we make our own S’morse minus the camp fire☺️ or they help me make cookies and we decorate them, we can also decorate graham crackers if you prefer we don’t use the oven. Looking forward to meeting you! Thank you, Rakita

This was our first time leaving our 18m old twins with someone other than a close friend or family member. We had a family wedding to attend and wanted to feel assured that the girls would be well cared for so we could relax and enjoy ourselves. Rakita's confidence, warmth, and professionalism made me feel confident the girls would handle the experience well. She came equipped with new books and toys to help keep them engaged and got right down to play and interact with them while we finished getting ready. She sent wonderful updates and photos through the evening. Best of all she was gentle and loving getting them both down to sleep for the night. I would highly recommend Rakita. She is open and easy with her love, prompt in responses, and reliable. We were thrilled to have such a wonderful caretaker for our first hiring experience.

Booked by 10 families in Castro Valley, CA

Hello, my name is Júlia. It's a pleasure to meet you! I have a background as a former Au Pair and I'm excited to begin my journey as a college student. My experience has involved providing full-time care to newborns and toddlers, both as an Au Pair and back in my home country of Brazil, where I worked in a daycare and looked after my cousins. I am often described as responsible, patient, sweet, and calm. Interacting with children brings me immense joy, whether it's playing, engaging in arts and crafts, going for walks, or simply making sure they have a great time. In addition to my passion for child care, I have always loved animals. In Brazil, I pursued my studies in veterinary medicine because I find great fulfillment in taking care of animals. If you have any pets, I would be more than happy to extend my care to them as well! I’m so looking forward to meet you! Julia

Julia cleaned our apartment thoroughly. Highly recommend and would book her again if we need cleaning services!

"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)."
