Dina $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a mother of two boys, a 15 and 13 year old. My wonderful loving 15 year old has Autism. Having a child on the spectrum has taught me a lot of patience, the importance of consistency and the value of attention to details. I am also currently a substitute aide at OUSD.

Rory $25 per hour for 1 child

I bring over 20 years of experience supporting seniors, and it remains one of the most meaningful parts of my life. I’ve cared for adults ages 65 to 95, including those managing chronic conditions and individuals with MS during flare periods. My support has included meal preparation, companionship, organizing the home, medication reminders, maintaining schedules, transportation, and doctor visits. I’m also experienced in coordinating outside care when a family needs additional support. I’ve provided occasional overnights as well. Families describe me as calm, reliable, and someone who brings dignity and steadiness to the home. In addition to senior care, I have two decades of experience supporting adults with disabilities. My approach is patient, respectful, and focused on helping people stay as independent as possible while providing safety, structure, and encouragement. I also care for pets. I’ve supported dog and cat owners when they are out of town or unavailable for a full day—sometimes for up to three days. This includes feeding, walks, litter care, and companionship. I also have long-term experience caring for children. My earliest childcare was with infants in the late ’90s, followed by four years volunteering with toddlers in Sunday school and three and a half years of every-other-weekend care for young children. I have additional experience with kids ages 9–12, helping with routines, homework, and creative activities. Families appreciate that I am warm, organized, easy to work with, and a grounding presence across all ages and needs.

Chamiyah $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m currently a freshman in college. I have been working for care.com for the past 6 months and I heard a lot of good reviews about urban sitter so I want to give it a try. I’m the second oldest and I have helped take care of all my younger siblings while my parents were at work as well. I know how to cook, make baby bottles, change diapers, burp, and entertain children. I have great patience. I’ve always wanted to be in the medical field. specifically for a neonatologist or pediatrician. My youngest sister has autism and I’ve taken classes with my mother to find out different ways to help and benefit her in anyway possible. I can say I have experience with autism children as well.

Kathy $24 per hour for 1 child

l am currently a college student with a strong background in caregiving, stemming from my domestic upbringing and experiences. As the oldest of four, I helped my parents take care of my three younger siblings, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how to handle different age groups and personalities. I also have experience caring for my grandmother, where I help her with daily tasks, keep her company, and ensure she feels safe and supported. Through these experiences, I've learned how important it is to be dependable, kind, and attentive. I'm very friendly, organized, and proficient at multitasking. I value myself as someone others can rely on and trust. I have limited experience with pets, including cats and dogs, but I'm very willing to learn and follow instructions. Overall, my background has helped me develop strong caregiving skills, and I genuinely enjoy helping others. This lets me bring a positive attitude, strong work ethic, and a caring approach to everything I do.

Hi Families! I’m Nanny Sarah, 18 years experience. I have seen and done it all! I’m a professional contract Nanny. I have worked with multiples, twins and premature infants. Families describe me as not only a nanny but an educator as well. I’m looking for a full time position with a family that has a newborn that can commit to a few years until the child attends school. My kiddos are private school ready at 3 years old. They learn age appropriate physical and mental milestones. I take them on age appropriate outings such as parks, library, beach, zoo, music class, etc. I do sleep/nap training, self feeding training as well as potty training. I also teach them age appropriate speech and language development. Daily light housekeeping such as cleaning the kitchen, children play areas and bedroom, laundry, etc. I make learning and playtime lots of fun! We get messy, do art projects, sing and dance. I’m on the floor playing and interacting with the children, no TV. My kiddos are smart, confident, inclusive, and more importantly polite. They don’t go through toddler tantrums because they are able to communicate what they need and want. I am willing to travel on family trips. More about me: My spouse and I love to travel and go on outdoor adventures. I live in Alameda and enjoy all that the Bay Area has to offer such as farmers markets, hiking and events. I love to cook!

"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)."
