Mariah Oakland
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Mariah, I absolutely adore children and have had several years of experience working with ages 4-12. I used to be an art instructor, where I would lead groups of 20-30 children on my own. I would teach an array of talents ranging from basic drawing skills, to clay projects, to acrylic/watercolor painting, to jewelry making, to sewing! I also ran a 5 month long art-centered camp with rotating groups of children, during which I would work 12 hour shifts and our daily schedule consisted of art, tutoring (math/english), enrichment activities (yoga, dancing, music, and other movement experiences), completing one art project each day the students attended the group. I love to mention this because I would greatly enjoy incorporating this flow into the time I spend with your child/children! I would love to work with them to figure out what style of artistic expression they excel most sufficiently within. I also provide an intellectually stimulating while strongly empathetic and nurturing atmosphere. I’ve worked as a puppy caregiver and trainer as well as a dog sitter, staying overnight in homes while you are away on vacation. I love caregiving because I love to provide a safe space to feel secure and celebrated, as every being deserves to feel. I am currently a full time student in college, studying Sustainability and Environmental Studies. I am an artist and I enjoy writing poetry, songs, and drawing in my free time. I look forward to meeting you and your wonderful offspring, and hope to speak with you soon! Thank you for reading and have a very blessed day!

Inga Emeryville
$22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in San Francisco, CA

Hi! I'm a part-time student with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for working with children. I spent several years as a camp counselor working with special needs children through high school and college, which gave me a deep appreciation for patient, attentive, and individualized care. I have a background in engineering which means I'm reliable, detail oriented, and great at problem solving. I also grew up in a Chinese household with Mandarin as my first language, which I'm happy to incorporate naturally into our time together if that's something your family values. I'm calm, warm, and genuinely enjoy engaging with kids through play, creative activities, reading, and exploring. I believe every child deserves to feel seen and supported. I have a CPR certification scheduled for August 2026 and plan to begin child development coursework later this year. I am happy to provide references.

"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."

"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)."
