Booked by 2 families in Lafayette, CA

Hello! I’m currently looking to offer support with child care, senior care, household help or pet services. I am located in Oakland! I have over 10 years of babysitting experience and recently became an aunt! I worked for 4 years in Vietnam teaching English and cooking classes to children of all ages! I also have more than 5 years of senior care experience. I cared for a senior neighbor during her final years, as well as my grandfather who lived with my family. I truly value spending time with seniors. Around the house, I’m happy to help with chores, organization, decluttering and cleaning — I love to bring some calm to a once hectic space! And as a pet parent to three cats, I love pets of all kinds. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning, playing or taking your pets for a walk, I’d enjoy doing it all. In my free time, I enjoy sewing, knitting, and working on DIY projects — I love anything creative and hands-on. I also make time for outdoor exercise, whether it’s hiking, biking, or just soaking up some sunshine. I look forward to meeting your family and helping make your day a little easier. Monica

Booked by 9 families in Lafayette, CA

Greetings families! My name is Samantha but you all can call me Sam. I have been a career nanny for 10+ years. And have experience working with newborns, infant, toddlers, and older children all around. Plus, a background with children diagnosed with autism, ADHD, and bipolar disorder. I am transitioning to being a postpartum doula and newborn care specialist. Currently in the process of becoming certified with DONA International by the end of 2023. Am mom to a pitbull mix doggo and a domestic short hair kitty. :)

“Sam was wonderful! She was prompt, professional, an excellent communicator, and she was terrific with my young toddler. I had never had a sitter before so I was incredibly nervous but I felt immediately comfortable leaving my kid with Sam. She updated us via text to let us know how it was going. Sam listened closely to any instructions I left, and followed them closely and respectfully, and let me know each thing was clear and understood. She was terrific playing with my toddler and I'd be thrilled to book her in the future.”

“There is no caregiver like Karina. She looked after my children and was like a part of our family for six years. She is helpful, reliable, so easy to be around and wonderfully kind, loving but appropriately firm with children. My kids still love her and talk about her often. Friends of mine would see her with our kids at music class or the park and remark how great she was with them. You will not find a better fit for your childcare needs!”

"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."

"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)."
