Booked by 65 families in Richmond, CA

My name is Dayan and I'm 27 years old. I'm from Mexico. I've been working with children in the States since August 2017! I have experience with children between 6 months to 14 years. I’ve worked as a Spanish/English teacher and nanny, I love spending time with them. I'm a good and safe driver and swimmer. I consider myself responsible, patient, communicative and active person. I’m an animal person.

Dayan was friendly and professional and communicated clearly before the job started. She was great with our 7 year old and 9 year old. She was cheerful and engaging the whole time. Would definitely hire again

Hello families! I love working with children and am looking for babysitting opportunities with kids of any age! I enjoy spending time with kids doing crafts, reading stories at bedtime, and keeping them happy and safe. Some of my hobbies include photography, singing, knitting, and yoga. I am a graduate of San Francisco State University, where I studied psychology with an emphasis on child development. I have been babysitting since high school and have worked with many local families with kids ages 0-13. I was a tutor for a year at an after school program where I facilitated activities and helped the children with their homework. After graduating college I worked for a year and a half at a group home for kids (ages 6 to 18) who struggled with regulating themselves during stress. One summer I also worked at a pre-school prep where I interacted with kids ages 8 months to 3 years doing activities such as reading, singing, crafts, art and other activities. And then most recently I taught mindfulness for two years at Oakland Public Schools and have been substitute teaching for the past year. I was very active for many years on Urbansitter back when it first started from about 2012 to 2017 and then I took a long break from it to focus on other career goals. Now I’ve decided to make a return to it since I’m on summer break and am hoping to continue with it into the next school year as I plan to be part time with my regular job. I currently live in San Leandro and am willing to go to Oakland, Hayward, Castro Valley, San Francisco and Lafayette. I look forward to hearing from you! Sheena

I am a 28 year old living In Marin County, CA for almost 10 years now. My first two years, I worked as an aupair and lived in Kentfield taking care of three girls - twins 5yo and one almost 2yo old. I have been working with kids since I was 16 and am comfortable with all ages, including infants. I’m am certified EMT by College of Marin and all ages CPR certified by AHA (American Heat Association). I speak English, Portuguese (My first language as, I’m from Brazil), basic Spanish and intermediate sign language. I am looking for occasional jobs. I have a current California drivers license with a clean record and a car to do pick up or drop offs at school or activities. Also I’m fully vaccinated. I am available to answer any questions you may have.

Jessica was fantastic! Our 2.5 year old warmed to her immediately, and didn't even notice when we left, he was so engrossed with Jessica. She updated us via text after he went to bed, and the house was meaningfully cleaner than we left it when we got home. She is really great.

Hi, I’m Melissa and I keep my calendar up to date! Parents have told me they’ve had a lot of sitters they’ve booked on UrbanSitter cancel or not show up. I find that shocking! You can count on me. 💗 Parents of type 1 diabetics—I got you. I can carb count, monitor CGM, site changes, treat highs & lows, the whole thing. I’ve been type 1 since age 8 and I use a Tandem pump with Dexcom. I've been sitting through this site since Nov 2013, usually ~30 hours per week. I've seen it all! My style with kids depends on the type of people they are (kids’ personalities vary just like adults’ do) and what the parents advise and prefer. I'm flexible! I love to travel to parks, I have a lot of great crafts up my sleeve, I know endless children's songs, I'll do as much physically active play as my body can take! I want the kids to have a good time and remember their experience with me fondly, while also keeping everyone safe & sound. I love hanging out with little folks. I love to hear what they think and see life through their eyes. Kids have unique perspectives. They are learning so much so quickly and from everywhere they can, so it's incredibly important to be mindful of that as a caretaker, modeling patience, good humor, seriousness when it's important to be serious, and attentiveness to the emotional needs of others. Kids can be funny, cute, curious, sweet, accidentally profound, and often super-bossy. They're exhausting in the best possible way. I also just adore infants and toddlers and I could hold them and play with them all day! I have been known to quickly figure out how to accommodate even the most challenging babies. I aim to be flexible! It’s OK if you need to cancel, I will not be upset or expect payment. It's perfectly OK to come home early, I will not expect payment for the full booking time. I will always stay longer if you need me to as well, so long as it doesn't interfere with another booking. I understand life is unpredictable and I hope I can make life easier for parents. Just keep me in the loop and I'll do the same.

Booked by 24 families in Richmond, CA

I am local to Marin/SF and a Mom to my daughter who is now in college. In addition to being a parent, I have been babysitting off and on for many years. I have pretty high standards as far as child care goes. I think it is important to engage (not sit on your phone), and make sure the children feel well looked after. I like to check in via text now and again during the job so the parents feel connected and reassured. I'm happy to be in a home with dogs as I have two sweet dogs of my own. ***PLEASE NOTE: I expect to be paid for the full time that you book, regardless if you return home early- appreciate your understanding on this. Thanks!

Cassandra is incredible - our kids felt comfortable with her immediately and love hanging out with her. She’s trustworthy, reliable, and always warm and patient with the kids. Highly recommend Cassandra!

"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)."
