Asmayt Emeryville
$40 per hour for 1 child

I'm the oldest daughter in my family, which meant I started caring for my younger siblings and cousins from an early age, and it's where my love for kids truly began. That experience taught me patience, responsibility, and how to keep things fun even on busy days. I'm an active nature lover, and I bring that passion into how I care for kids. I love finding creative ways to keep children engaged and connected to the outdoors, whether that's reading together in the park, going on nature walks, or planning day camping trips. I believe some of the best learning happens outside. I'm also pet-friendly and comfortable caring for animals alongside children, and I take pride in keeping a clean, organized home environment. Families can count on me to bring warmth, structure, and a genuine love of kids into their household.

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 :)

"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
