Hi, my name is Eliana! I am a Dancer, Teacher, and Choreographer with 10 years of nannying, and babysitting experience. I am originally from Virginia, and moved to the Bay Area 5 years ago. Since moving to the bay I taught for 4 years with the Oakland School District where I started 3 dance programs teaching over 3,000 students k-5. I also was a barista at Blue Bottle and a Resident Advisor at EF san Francisco for a year where I helped international students acclimate to the US, and learned how to craft a perfect cup of coffee. I graduated from SUNY Purchase Conservatory of Dance in 2021 with my BFA in Dance Performance and minor in Anthropology. I have been babysitting, nannying and teaching kids for 10 years. I love doing crafty things like painting, art projects, as well as cooking and spending time outdoors. Oh, and I also have a green thumb! Originally from Virginia I spent a lot of time camping, hiking, dancing, and doing swim team. I would describe myself as dependable, attentive, kind, caring, with my own unique perspective. I grew up in a household with 2 brothers, 3 dogs and a cat. I love hearing kids perspectives on things, problem solving, and seeing them get in touch with their creative sides. I am CPR/ AED/ First Aid certified! I look forward to meeting you!

Hi my name is Kiara. I am 20 years old and would describe myself as caring, dependable, and thoughtful. While I may be a bit reserved at first, I quickly become comfortable and pride myself on being friendly, outgoing, and an effective communicator. I truly enjoy working with children because of their curiosity, honesty, and energy. I find it very rewarding to support their growth and development while creating a safe, nurturing, and positive environment for them.

I am an artist, ceramicist, art therapist, teacher and therapeutic arts facilitator. I create spaces for people to slow down, make things with their hands, reconnect with their bodies, and remember their relationship to the natural world. I have worked in a diversity of settings with children for over 10 years. First as a nanny, then a teacher, and now as a therapist. I care deeply about nurturing children's social and emotional development and well being. I am particularly good at encouraging kids to feel safe and confident to creatively express themselves.

Hello! I’m a 23-year-old childcare professional and college student currently studying Child and Adolescent Psychology at College of Alameda. I also work as a kindergarten teacher in the mornings, where I support early childhood development through structured learning, patience, and engaging care. I joined UrbanSitter to expand my experience with more personalized, one-on-one care, allowing me to better support each child’s unique needs, personality, and growth. I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing, and developmentally enriching environment while also making sure children feel comfortable, confident, and genuinely cared for. I am CPR certified, have a valid driver’s license, and reliable transportation. I’m highly dependable, attentive, and experienced in managing routines, transitions, and age-appropriate activities. In addition to childcare, I also offer pet care services, as I’m very comfortable with animals and enjoy incorporating that same level of attentiveness and care. My availability is flexible outside of my morning teaching schedule. I welcome both planned and last-minute bookings whenever possible—please feel free to reach out to discuss your family’s needs!

Nurturing young minds is my passion, and I've dedicated the last 13 years to providing enriching care for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I hold a college degree in education, multiple child development courses, up to date first aid and CPR certification, and have experience as a birth and postpartum doula. My duties vary depending on the child needs, age, family needs, but most importantly is to focus on the child’s well being and to create a safe, fun, and stimulating environment where they can thrive. I am comfortable caring for up to three children. I love engaging kids with outdoor activities, libraries, play grounds, museums, zoo. In most of my positions I have been required to drive, which I am happy to provide as well, and have excellent references. My goal is to support your family, and I look forward to building a caring relationship with your children!
