Booked by 28 families in Piedmont, CA

Hi! My name is Jenn and my life's passion and talent is working with children! First, a bit about my experience with kids: I'm a seasoned parent to 22 and 16 year olds who are turning into caring, conscientious and responsible adults who are excellent students with incredible work ethic. I'm proud of raising these two as a single parent! I currently work as a middle school teacher. Prior to that, I ran my own childcare business in my home for toddlers. It was pure joy to work with my little learners and the whole family to create a happy, warm, safe, nurturing environment for them to grow, learn and play! I hold a CA teaching credential and I have taught elementary and middle school grades full time and have subbed K-12. I have the gift of natural attunement to children and connect with them easily and joyfully. I also have the rare ability to work effectively with babies through high school students. I am highly intuitive about children's feelings and needs and I respond sensitively and appropriately. Children simply bring out the best in me! I have an upbeat personality, a playful sense of humor, and children trust me and connect with me easily and with joy. I love discovering/encouraging what interests children have and designing activities or finding books that match their interests. I particularly love helping children connect with nature, both in spending time outdoors and in projects using natural materials. If there is the opportunity, I like to bring these interests to my babysitting work and I also have a huge collection of children's literature and bring books with me to my sits. Further, I am highly experienced in working with children from all backgrounds, cultures and special needs, including autism. Since I've taught early elementary and middle school, I can help with homework if needed. I use a positive discipline approach with my own children and the children I work with. I'm adept at teaching social and emotional skills and I love helping children learn how to communicate and to understand and express their feelings to others including working out conflict as necessary. About myself, I have an abundance of things I love to do, which include healthy cooking, knitting, making jewelry, photography, book club, reading, writing, my pets, and Bay Area fun with my kids! I look forward to working with your family!

“Our kiddo enjoyed her time with Jennifer and asked if Jennifer could babysit again! They did arts & crafts and Jennifer even brought her own books to read to our kid.”

Booked by 55 families in Piedmont, CA

Hi! My name is Andrea and I am a 20 year old living in Oakland (Rockridge). Fun fact- I am 5th generation! I have been so lucky to have worked with children since I was 12 and for all of my previous jobs. I am comfortable caring for all ages! I have worked for •East bay Regional Park District• and •City of Oakland• as a recreation leader for after school programs and summer camps! I have worked for multiple families over the years and look to build more relationships with you and your children. To me it is very important to get a child out in nature and explore and experience everything in the outside world so I love to go on walks and out the house if that is possible with your child. I absolutely love all animals and am more than willing to care for them! I can help with light housekeeping, meal preparation, and any other. My goal is to provide a safe and nurturing environment where children can learn, play, and grow. I look forward to meeting you and your family! I am more than happy to do overnights and travel. CPR certified! I do not smoke! Do not drive! Please be sure of your hours before booking-you still pay for hours listed even if home early. If you want to extend hours, I am okay with that as long as there is clear communication! Thanks :)

Booked by 64 families in Piedmont, CA

Hi! My name is Laisa. I’m a 35-year-old career nanny from Brazil with 20+ years of childcare experience, including more than 10 years specializing in infants and toddlers—an age group I truly love and where my passion for childcare lies. My caregiving style is loving, respectful, gentle, and responsive. I believe every child is unique, so I take the time to understand their individual needs, personality, and routines while following and respecting each family’s parenting style, values, and boundaries. I’m also flexible and adaptable, understanding that schedules and needs can change from day to day. I love supporting children’s development through meaningful interaction and age-appropriate activities, including talking, reading, singing, sensory play, and opportunities to build their language, motor skills, confidence, curiosity, and independence. I enjoy getting outside with children whenever possible, as well as creating engaging activities at home. I’m energetic, attentive, reliable, and committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and positive environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to explore and learn. Clear and open communication is very important to me. I want parents to feel informed and connected throughout the day, so I’m happy to share photos, videos, and a daily update covering their child’s activities, meals, naps, mood, and milestones. Most importantly, I see childcare as more than simply supervising a child. I strive to become a trusted partner to the family and to build a strong, respectful, and long-term relationship while providing the highest level of care. I take my commitments seriously and do not cancel unless there is an emergency. I also require agreed-upon hours to be guaranteed, with NO BANKING OF HOURS! References: To respect my previous families’ privacy, I provide letters of recommendation upon request. Reference phone numbers are shared only after an in-person meeting or trial day, once we both feel it’s a good fit and would like to move forward. If my experience and style of caregiving align with your family’s values, I’d love to connect! Extras to consider: • $40/hour net minimum — W-2 or cash • Guaranteed weekly hours • PTO & paid sick days • Federal holidays • Monthly health stipend • Overtime at 1.5× after 8 hours/day, per California law Best, Laisa

“We had a very successful trial day with Laisa that led us to hire her as our part-time nanny. Laisa brought a gentle, patient, and inquisitive energy to caring for our 3-month old. She took all of our directions to heart and even sought out ways to help with additional baby-related chores. Our baby was very comfortable with Laisa and Laisa showered him in the near-constant interaction and attention he craves. Laisa has already worked so hard to accommodate our schedule and preferences. We can't wait to watch her relationship with our baby develop long-term. Highly recommend Laisa for part-time nannying, one-off babysitting days, or any other child-related care!”

"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)."
