Hello, my name is Tatianna, I am a college graduate from Ottawa University Arizona and just moved back to the bay! (Baby sat through UrbanSitter in Az as well) I am offering childcare, senior care, and household services. I love to help out families in need! I love babysitting, I have been babysitting for members in my family since I was 14. I watched kids from newborns through high school. Some responsibilities I’ve had to take on while babysitting have been making meals, bath time/play time along with age appropriate activities, driving kids to and from school, and also to any practices that they may have whether it’s sports, dancing, and or arts. Not only am I passionate about my babysitting, I love to help take care of the elder. I love to cook, I love to clean, and I love to run errands wherever I need to go. I am not allergic to any animals. I love dogs and cats.

Hello, I’m a passionate caregiver with experience with children and youth ages 0-14. I’ve worked in home and at several different preschools, elementary and middle schools. Some of my experience includes supporting children with medical appointments, camps, after school programs, and assisting with various therapeutic lessons. My responsibilities have included morning wake up and evening bedtime routines, activity planning, homework support, bathing, cooking, light cleaning, and transporting children to and from programs and appointments. I’ve also supported educational environments with special education assistance along with art and STEAM activity planning. I piloted an afterschool inclusion program and have implemented a wide array of behavioral intervention strategies. Some words previous children have used to describe me are loving, caring, thoughtful, respectful and uplifting.

Hi, I’m Katherine! I started babysitting a couple of years ago for family, and then decided to work in the food industry. I worked for social vocational services, where I gained experience working with adults that have intellectual disabilities. There I was able to introduce many skills that everyone should be able to learn. I currently work for a beautiful family of 4 kids in the evening. They leave on vacation for the holidays and I will be available during holiday breaks, as well as mornings!

Booked by 3 families in Castro Valley, CA

Hi! My name is Alma , I have extensive experience caring for children ranging from newborns to seventeen years. My first babysitting jobs was at the age of fifteen, then I’ve raised five kids of my own. When all my children were old enough, I took care of a family who had a three month old child when I first started working for them, they had two other children while I was taking care of their eldest child. I took care of their newborn children until the oldest sibling was seventeen. I started as a nanny ,however, the job turned into a family assistant/ nanny as I ran the house hold and helped with families personal matters.

Alma was very patient and attentive in caring for our six month old.

"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)."
