Booked by 21 families in Hercules, CA

Hi! Thank you for the opportunity to apply, here’s a little about me: I am a recent graduate with a degree in liberal arts - behavioral and social sciences and am in the process of pursuing my second degree. In my free time, I enjoy painting and hiking! I also have over five years paid experience caring for infants, children ages 4-13 and for multiple children at a time (two-four). I am proficient in tasks such as preparing/feeding meals, nap time routine, pick up and drop off to and from school/activities, and establishing fun activities to keep child(ren) engaged and learning new things. I have neurodivergent experience as well and was a treatment analyst for over 3 years for those with autism and ADHD. I absolutely love kids and am super open minded when it comes to any given task. I look forward to hearing from you! P. S I'm also CPR certified :)

We had such a fantastic experience with Brianna. She covered caring for my boys (4 y/o and 18 months) for a week during the day while our nanny was out and seamlessly jumped in to our routine. Our boys are not used to new caretakers, but they warmed right up to her. She was kind, communicative, and super competent, and I trusted her right away — so grateful we had the chance to work with her!

Booked by 14 families in Hercules, CA

Hi parents, My name is Vlada, and I’m pursuing a degree in Child Development and Psychology. I’m originally from Russia and I’ve been living here for 10 years with my family. I started to work with kids when I was 14 years old. I started by taking care of my youngest siblings and then volunteering. During my college years thus far I have taken many opportunities to gain more experience with children. I have been working at Monitissori daycare for 4 + years and I also have experience working with special needs. As of right now I have my child development permit, first aide certificate and now working towards my teaching permit. My philosophy is that all children of all abilities should be able to grow up where their social, emotional, and educational needs are met. I love being able to work with kids and watch them grow. If you need any references please let me know, I’ll be happy to provide them :)

Great sitter. Arrived on time, brought things for the kids, cleaned up. The kids had a lot of fun.

Pinole
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 7 families in Hercules, CA

I'm a 33 year elementary school teacher and mom of 3 adult children and 2 dogs I am available on Saturdays & Sundays to babysit and during school breaks.I love children of all ages and am reliable, loving, patient, kind and fun! I enjoy going to parks, museums, and long walks. I have my masters in Reading and love reading to children and doing art.

Mary was absolutely the best! From the moment she arrived, she was patient, warm, and deeply respectful of our home. It was immediately clear she has years of experience working with kids - she was a natural. We could not have asked for a better person to care for our daughter. This was our first time ever having someone come to our home to watch our daughter, and Mary made it a completely worry-free experience. Her only "downside" is that she's set the bar so impossibly high that I'm not sure any future sitter could ever measure up!!!

Booked by 34 families in Hercules, CA

Hi, my name is Janneth I am easy going, intuitive, and responsible. I am also a mom to a smart and curious 10 year old. I have a lot of experience working with newborns, toddlers, and teenagers. In my day to day life I wear many hats mom, wife, manager, big sister, and care taker to many students. I work in higher ed and have been working specifically in student services for the past 5 years. I have experience working with students from diverse racial and socio-economic backgrounds. Before that, I spent 2 years teaching English to children aged 5-10. I started babysitting at a young age for my family and neighbors and have been taking care of children ever since. After having my son, I took a break from work to focus on his care, but now that he is older and more independent, I am able to return to babysitting and work with other families.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
