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.

Booked by 3 families in San Lorenzo, CA

Hi, dear family! My name is Evilyn, I am 25 years old and I am from Brazil. I have experience with childcare for all ages for at least 5 years, but I have much more experience with toddlers and infants since I was an Au Pair and took care of to kids from 0 to 3 years old. I am affectionate, easy going, helpful and energetic. I am certified in First Aid and CPR. Also, I have my California driver's license, so I am available to pick up and drop off children.

Evilyn was very kind and caring with our children. She did very well with the baby. She's able to help out around the house beyond child care 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.

Alexis $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi I’m Alexis and I’m from Oakland! I am currently taking a gap year from UC Berkeley while getting my certifications to become a certified personal trainer. During my free time I enjoy weight lifting, reading, baking, and anything music related. I also love animals, especially dogs :) I have 2+ years experience working with school aged kids through internships such as summer camps and at Highland Hospital. Moreover, I have 1.5 years experience as a babysitter/nanny. I’m also the oldest sibling in my family with a pretty big age gap between my siblings and I, so I grew up taking care of them very often! I am also CPR/AED certified. I believe it’s important to create a safe, stimulating, and stable environment for all children. As a result, I deeply value clear communication and empathy in a work space. Please reach out if you have any questions :)

"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)."
