Gennaro $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there, My Name is Gennaro, and I have been guiding youth in traditional, experiential, and special education for just under a decade. My passion is working with children to empower them towards better understanding of themselves and their ability to lead. The majority of my experience working with youth has been through work as an Outdoor Education Guide, where I would lead groups of 10-12 young people in the wilderness for periods up to 14 days. During my years of experience in this kind of work, I was responsible for the mental, emotional, and physical well being of young people in extreme environments. These experiences also allowed me to develop an encompassing sense of empathy, care, and risk management for the young people I have been lucky enough to spend time with. Through my work as an Outdoor Educator, I also was trained as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). I currently am in the Master of Social Work program at San Francisco State University. My other recent experience has been working as a Counselor/Teacher/Mentor at a credit recovery high school in Oakland called the Emiliano Zapata Street Academy, where I now serve on the Board. I am seeking to use my experience with children across a diverse age range, neurodiversity, and culture to aid in families seeking childcare. Cheers, Gennaro

Hi – My name is Sefanit and I’m currently a college student. I am offering child care and household help for families who may need an extra hand. I enjoy spending time with children and have experience helping take care of my younger siblings and nephews. My responsibilities have included playing with them, helping with meals, keeping them engaged with activities, and making sure they are safe and comfortable. I enjoy doing activities with kids such as drawing, reading stories, playing games, and spending time outside. I can also help with simple homework, basic cooking, and light household tasks. I can also braid hair and enjoy helping kids feel confident and comfortable. I like creating a calm and positive environment where children can have fun and feel supported.

Chamiyah $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m currently a freshman in college. I have been working for care.com for the past 6 months and I heard a lot of good reviews about urban sitter so I want to give it a try. I’m the second oldest and I have helped take care of all my younger siblings while my parents were at work as well. I know how to cook, make baby bottles, change diapers, burp, and entertain children. I have great patience. I’ve always wanted to be in the medical field. specifically for a neonatologist or pediatrician. My youngest sister has autism and I’ve taken classes with my mother to find out different ways to help and benefit her in anyway possible. I can say I have experience with autism children as well.

"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)."
