Marisol 2 reviews
$23 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 4 families in Castro Valley, CA

Hello! I’m Marisol. I’ve helped raise my two younger siblings and have worked at a church for the past year, caring for multiple children at a time, ranging in age from 6 months to 12 years, including many children on the spectrum. I’ve also volunteered at the Oakland Zoo’s summer camp where I helped supervise groups of 20+ children during tours and lessons. I’m also bilingual (English and Spanish)! I’m an avid sports fan and athlete, participating in both boxing and flag football. I truly enjoy working with children and can guarantee that I will always do my very best to care for your child. I’m very hands-on and love engaging with kids, whether it’s sitting on the ground for tummy time or running around playing tag. I would love to learn more about your child’s unique personality and specific needs so I can support them in the best way possible. Feel free to ask any questions!!

Marisol was great! She was very punctual and actually got here a few mins early both times. She was sweet, caring and engaging with our son, and our son absolutely loved her!

Hi my name is Karla and I’m 20 years old! I offer childcare, household services, pet care and open to senior care. I love being a babysitter and enjoy everything that comes with it. From newborn, toddlers, I’ve been watching kids since the age of 15. Driving to and from school or any other activities, arts and crafts, helping with homework are all some of my responsibilities. I also speak Spanish! I also can assist with household tasks like cooking, cleaning and running errands. I can provide references upon request :)

Karla came with an enthusiastic attitude and positive and kind approach. Our son had a great afternoon crafting with her.

CPR certified Daycare toddler experience Overnight and morning school prep experience Infant personal care experience Dog walking - weekend dog care

Claudia was amazing with my two kids. She arrived on time, immediately connected either my 5 year old, and was also able to calm down a skeptical 15 month old who started crying bloody murder at the sight of someone new.

Booked by 1 family in Castro Valley, CA

Hello - my name is Angela, and I recently moved to the Bay from South Texas. I’m an experienced caregiver and educator with a background in youth programming, education, and nonprofit work. I’ve worked with children of all ages as a YMCA lead teacher, Parks and Recreation after-school counselor, culinary center teacher, and tutor over the past 10 years. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to provide pet care and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and breeds. I am an experienced Rover sitter and dog owner and am comfortable taking them on walks or hanging out with them in your home. I’m also available to assist with senior care including meal preparation, errands, light housekeeping, and transportation to appointments. My goal is to create a safe, positive environment where children, pets, and older adults feel comfortable, supported, and cared for. I look forward to getting to know your family!

$29 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 8 families in Castro Valley, CA

Hi! My name is Alma I’m from France, and I speak French and a little English. I love spending time with children and helping them learn and grow every day. In France, I got my BAFA diploma, which is a certification to work with kids. I worked in a recreation center with children ages 3 to 8, where I organized fun activities like painting, outdoor games, and small theater shows. I also helped during snack time and made sure every child felt included and happy. I’ve done a lot of babysitting, from newborns to older kids. For example, I often take care of babies feeding them, changing diapers, and putting them to sleep and I enjoy helping toddlers discover new things through songs, stories, and play. I’m calm, patient, and responsible, but I also bring a lot of energy and creativity. I love reading stories, doing crafts, cooking simple meals, or going to the park. I can also help with light cleaning or organizing around the house if needed. I’m passionate about creating a safe, loving, and fun environment for every child I care for. Parents describe me as reliable, kind, and always smiling. I would be happy to meet your family and give your children the best care possible

She was super great for my kid ! She even helped build her little train set ! And by the time I got back from my little mommy time alone . She was asleep ! She did so great! Would recommend her 100%

"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)."
