Wren 2 reviews
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Wren I've been caregiving for pets, kiddos, people with social needs, and seniors my whole life! I started petsitting when I was 8 years old, and nannying when I was 11. I worked with seniors with dementia while in school to get my degree in social work, and worked as a full time social worker for years until I realized I prefer a varied schedule and hands on caregiving. I am very artistic and creative and love doing art with kids or special needs adults. I also love organizing and interior design to help make a space work for a persons individual needs. Thank you for considering me!

Wren has done a great job sitting for my two cats. I have one indoor and one outdoor and I always feel at ease leaving them in Wren's care. The cats have grown to love Wren, as well! I definitely recommend Wren as a reliable, thoughtful sitter.

Booked by 7 families in San Lorenzo, CA

Hi! My name is Yasmine. I have hands-on experience working with children as a daycare assistant, where I helped with daily routines like feeding, playtime, and nap schedules. I love creating a safe, caring, and fun environment where kids can feel supported and thrive. I'm currently taking a class to become a hairstylist and working on getting my CPR and First Aid certification. I'm always looking to grow and learn new skills—especially ones that help me care for others. In my free time, I enjoy going to the gym, reading, spending time with my family, and deepening my relationship with God. I also love animals and would be happy to help care for family pets! I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy caregiving—whether it’s for children, seniors, or pets. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and make your child’s day a little brighter!

Yasmine is wonderful. She was so engaging and confident with our kids and jumped right in to get to know them and play with them. Our toddlers really loved having her here. And she tidied up our home too. She has a very calm and caring presence. We will definitely be reaching out to Yasmine again in the future.

Raquel 5 reviews
$35 per hour for 1 child

I have been working with children for 10 years, from newborns to teenagers. I have supported many families as a Newborn Care Specialist, and I currently work in an after-school daycare program with children ages 0 to 4 years, which allows me to have daytime availability for full-time nanny positions. I love dogs and am very punctual, reliable, and communicative.

Raquel took care of my daughter Alice for a little over a month, and I only have positive things to say! She is extremely responsible, caring, and has excellent communication with parents. At first, my daughter cried a lot because she struggles with being away from me, but Raquel was very patient and managed to gain both her trust and mine. She was always attentive and often did even more than what we had agreed upon when it came to Alice’s care. It was truly a wonderful experience having her with us, and I’m only sad that our schedules no longer align. I highly recommend her!

Booked by 2 families in San Lorenzo, CA

Hello! I’m currently looking to offer support with child care, senior care, household help or pet services. I am located in Oakland! I have over 10 years of babysitting experience and recently became an aunt! I worked for 4 years in Vietnam teaching English and cooking classes to children of all ages! I also have more than 5 years of senior care experience. I cared for a senior neighbor during her final years, as well as my grandfather who lived with my family. I truly value spending time with seniors. Around the house, I’m happy to help with chores, organization, decluttering and cleaning — I love to bring some calm to a once hectic space! And as a pet parent to three cats, I love pets of all kinds. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning, playing or taking your pets for a walk, I’d enjoy doing it all. In my free time, I enjoy sewing, knitting, and working on DIY projects — I love anything creative and hands-on. I also make time for outdoor exercise, whether it’s hiking, biking, or just soaking up some sunshine. I look forward to meeting your family and helping make your day a little easier. Monica

Extremely professional. Really helpful. Reliable and autonomous with appropriate level of inclusion

"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

"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)."
