Marleane $27 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in San Lorenzo, CA

I have a strong background in childcare, with paid experience through Jovie, PJCC Treehouse, and College Nannies and Sitters. I’ve cared for children of different ages and supported families with daily routines such as meal preparation, playtime, homework help, and nap or bedtime schedules. I’m comfortable following family guidelines while being flexible and attentive to each child’s needs. I’m patient, dependable, and naturally nurturing, which helps me build trust with both children and parents. I take safety and communication seriously and stay calm and organized in busy situations. In addition to childcare, I can provide household support such as housesitting and running errands, and pet sitting when needed. My goal is to help families feel supported while creating a safe, engaging, and positive environment for children.

Cheyanne $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Cheyanne, a college student studying pre-nursing with a dream of becoming a Labor & Delivery nurse. Caring for others isn't just something I do, it's genuinely who I am. I've been a trusted caregiver for over 10 years, looking after my nieces, nephews, and children of extended family and friends from infancy through school age. I grew up fast and took on a nurturing, reliable role with my siblings from a young age, and that sense of responsibility has only grown stronger over time. Families know me as someone who shows up, stays calm, and genuinely invests in the children I care for. Professionally, I'm currently volunteering weekly in a NICU, where I spend time reading to newborns and infants who are navigating serious illnesses and medical challenges during their earliest days of life. It's taught me patience, gentleness, and a deep attentiveness to the needs of the most vulnerable little ones and it's one of the most meaningful things I do. Reading has always been a passion of mine, so getting to share that with babies who need comfort and connection feels like exactly where I'm supposed to be. I also have volunteered with the East Oakland Collective for the past few years, a community organization dedicated to supporting Oakland's most vulnerable residents. It's an experience that has deepened my empathy and commitment to showing up consistently for others. Beyond childcare, I'm happy to help with cooking, light household tasks, or errands — whatever makes your family's day run a little smoother. When I'm not caregiving or studying, you'll find me reading, writing, or staying active. I'm a former track athlete and exercise is still a big part of my life. I also keep a Substack as a creative outlet and a way to express myself. I'm a big believer that curiosity, movement, and storytelling are all gifts worth nurturing in children too. What sets me apart is the heart I bring to this work. My nursing path has shaped me into someone who is compassionate, patient, and dependable, and I take that same standard of care into every family I work with. I'd love the opportunity to be someone your family can genuinely count on!

My name is Rosey, and I have two years of experience working as an Au Pair, where I developed a strong passion for caring for children.

In addition to childcare, I have experience working as a household assistant. I am skilled in cooking, cleaning, and running household errands, and I take pride in keeping an organized and comfortable home environment. I am also comfortable providing care for seniors.

Tye

$26 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 13 families in San Lorenzo, CA

Hello to all the parents out there! My name is Tye (the little ones call me Miss Tye) and I am originally from Sacramento, CA. I have been living in the Oakland Millsmont area for a little over four years. A little about me— I have a very bubbly personality and I am extremely creative; even my friends call me Miss Frizzle from Magic School Bus! From having fun creative time to having garden lessons or playing sports at the park, I always put my best effort forward. I started my career in child care at the age of 16 where I worked at a in-home daycare for 2 years that had kids ranging from infants to 13 years of age! I continue to be a regular sitter for three families; all of which I’ve been with for multiple years and have connected with through Urban Sitter. I also love to deep clean homes and have had that be my primary role within services like IHSS (in home support) for those who did not have the capacity themselves.

Personable, responsible, kind and caring. Lucky to have her

"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."

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)."
