Andrea Oakland
$28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in San Francisco, CA

Hi! I’m Andrea. I’ve been babysitting for 6 years and have lots of experience with toddlers and young kids. I’m also an RBT and have work closely with children on the autism spectrum. I love doing crafts, games, and fun activities with kids, and I always try to create a safe and happy environment for them. I have some extra free time right now and would love to babysit for families who need the help. I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to provide references. I’ll also have availability for part-time or full-time summer care from June–August since my main job follows the school schedule.

Hi families! I’ve been an au pair/nanny since 2019. Over the past 6+ years I’ve cared for children from 3 months old to 14+ as a caregiver in Marin County. I’m comfortable with more than one kid and can provide references from my last family. I’m vaccinated (including TDAP for houses with newborns), have a clean driving record and background check, and I’m patient, reliable, and trustworthy. Please feel free to contact me for more information :)

Iva Berkeley
$28 per hour for 1 child

I am 63 years old and originally from Sofia, Bulgaria. My name is Iva. In Bulgaria I have graduated from Technical University,I have pedagogy courses. Now I live in Berkeley with my daughter and have worked as a custodian of both children and elderly for the past 15 years.Both my own granddaughter and the little boy I have looked after for the past 18 months have been 2mos-2yr old during the time of my care. I took care of two children together once a week. They will no longer need my help as the girl goes to pre-school, so I'm looking for another job / family I can work for. I respect all styles of parental care and focus on providing lots of love and affection and engaging children in games, imaginary games, books, and so on. I love to play them outdoors and use every opportunity to communicate with others. I am a good chef and prepare fresh, healthy dishes for the child every day. It can also help with light housework. I love kids and they love me. As a carer, I am responsible for my work, creating a safe environment for the children and making them happy. Also, I am active, intuitive, empathetic and very organized. Apart from English, which I speak at a comfortable level, I am fluent in Italian, Bulgarian and know intermediate level Russian. I would love to find a new family to help and have a relatively flexible schedule (prefer Mon-Fri, but could also consider weekend days as an alternative). I am open to taking on multiple kids in a nanny-share setting. I would also consider offering care for specific days.

I welcome families with pets, and am comfortable with working in pet-friendly homes. I can't wait to hear from you and learn how I can help make your days a little easier and brighter!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
