Dior 3 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Dior, and I’m currently a high school senior graduating on June 3rd. Since October, I’ve been working as an Assistant Kindergarten Teacher through an internship where I’ve gained hands-on experience working with children in both small groups and full classroom settings. My responsibilities have included leading classroom activities, helping plan lessons, grading, organizing and creating classroom decorations, and attending field trips with the classes. I have a letter of recommendation I can provide if needed from the teacher I work alongside. Through my ROP Developmental Psychology of Children course, I will also graduate with 6 college credits in Child Development. In addition to my elementary teaching experience, I have experienced babysitting throughout the years, which helped me become patient, responsible, and comfortable caring for children of different ages. I also have experience working with animals through volunteering at the East Bay SPCA caring for dogs and cats. Along with this, I have two years of experience working in the food industry, which strengthened my communication skills, responsibility, and ability to work in fast-paced environments. I’m dependable, caring, organized, and passionate about creating a safe and positive environment for children.

“I am happy to recommend Dior Cooper for any babysitting or childcare position. Dior has worked in my kindergarten classroom during the 2024–2025 school year and has been an incredible asset to our classroom community. Dior confidently helps manage and teach a class of 24 kindergarten students, supports small groups academically, and skillfully redirects behaviors with patience and care. She is especially thoughtful in supporting students socially and emotionally, comforting children when they are upset and helping them work through conflicts with kindness and maturity. Dior has joined us on several field trips, where she safely supervised groups of young students and demonstrated excellent responsibility and judgment. She is reliable, highly communicative, kind, and wonderful with children. I would confidently recommend Dior for any babysitting or childcare position and trust her to provide safe, caring, and engaging support for children.”

Zaineb 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in San Lorenzo, CA

Hello! I am Zaineb and currently a school based social worker. I am offering child care, pet care as well as household services. Ever since I was young, I have loved caring for children whether it was a sibling, older cousin or friend. I have been an educator in the public school system for the last 6 years working with kids from as little as kindergarten to seniors in high school. I enjoy playing games, doing crafts and most importantly, getting to know kids and their interests and hobbies. As a babysitter in the past, I have been responsible for after-school care, cooking meals and putting kids to bed. I am also happy to help out with household tasks like cooking, cleaning and running errands. I can also pet sit; I grew up caring for my family’s cat and currently live with 2 cats. I don’t have a lot of experience caring for other animals but am willing to learn!

Booked by 1 family in San Lorenzo, CA

Hi My name is Jennifer, I’m postpartum doula and infant care trained. I have been supporting families with newborn care, infants, toddlers and kids including twins. My responsibilities include baby feeding, diapering, playtime, meal prep, light house work, running errands, reading etc. I do love supporting families in creating a safe nurturing and fun environment for their little ones. And I have been doing this for over 5 years, caring for children of various ages. And I take pride in being reliable, patient and attentive to each child’s unique needs. As a mom myself, I understand how much trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and into your child’s life. I bring the same level of commitment and love to the families I work with and I would be honored to support yours. I have also been a certified nursing assistant and Home health aide for the last 2 years. I’m fully vaccinated and my CPR is up to date. Thank you.

Mahliyah $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in San Lorenzo, CA

Hello, my name is Mahliyah, and I am 20 years old. I graduated from Pittsburg High School in 2024, and was a dedicated student-athlete. Throughout my life, I have gained extensive experience working with children of various ages, beginning at a young age. My mother worked in several preschool settings, including Bright Horizons and Redwood Forest Preschool, where I regularly volunteered and assisted teachers and staff in supporting young children. In addition to my volunteer experience, I have played an active role in helping care for my younger siblings and cousins and have provided babysitting services for multiple families over the years. These experiences have strengthened my ability to build meaningful relationships with children by adapting to their unique personalities, needs, and energy levels. Whether providing a calm, supportive environment or engaging in fun, active play, I strive to create a positive and nurturing experience for every child. I am patient, compassionate, dependable, and committed to supporting each child’s individual growth and well-being. I am currently employed as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), a role I have held for a little over a year. Working in applied behavior analysis has strengthened my communication, problem-solving, and behavior management skills while reinforcing my passion for helping children reach their full potential. I implement individualized behavior intervention plans, teach and reinforce new skills, and support clients in achieving meaningful developmental goals. One of the most rewarding aspects of my work is witnessing the progress my clients make over time and celebrating their accomplishments alongside their families. Because each client has unique strengths and challenges, I have learned to remain flexible, patient, and creative in my approach to care. I am CPR certified as I feel that is a necessity to working with children. Beyond childcare, I am happy to assist with household tasks such as cleaning and organizing, which I believe are important in creating a comfortable and structured space for children to thrive. I am also very comfortable around animals and have a genuine love for them. I have experience caring for both small and large dogs and currently have two dogs at home—a pitt bull and a Maltipoo mix.

Kari $26 per hour for 1 child

I have 28 years of hands-on caregiving experience, having raised two children who are now ages 28 and 21. I understand the importance of providing a safe, nurturing, and attentive environment for school-aged children. While my children were in grades 1–5, I supervised elementary school children to and from school five days a week. I am also a proud grandmother to three grandchildren—one age seven and twins age six—which has further strengthened my patience, responsibility, and ability to care for children of different ages.

"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)."
