I have been working with children for almost fourteen years, and was a Preschool Teacher for over five years. I have a bachelors degree in Early Childhood Development from SF State University. Prior to the covid-19 shutdown I worked as a teacher at Rockridge Little School in Piedmont for two years, where I worked with all ages groups (2-5 years) I also worked as a teacher at Claremont Day Nurseries Preschool in Kensington. I was a two year old teacher for one year, and then became a floater teacher for all the age groups (ages 2-5). Prior to this I started up an after-care organization with my mother in 2009 until 2012, where we took care of over nine children after-school per day, ages 6-10. On my work days I would spend the day playing with the kids, doing arts and crafts, providing homework help and overall enjoying the company of the children until the parents would come back from work. I love to do drawing/arts and crafts projects with the kids I take care of if possible, and really enjoy the creativity it brings out in each child. I have found my experiences with children to be both educational and heart-warming, and for those reasons have helped me develop as a person and I feel make me qualified to join the urban-sitter community.
Hi, my name is Theresa! I’m an artist, violinist, psychology undergrad, and aspiring marriage and family therapist. I’ve been: • Babysitting for four years with ALL ages, infants and older! • A reading mentor to develop reading skills in younger children • A behavioral therapist/counselor who works with neurodivergent youth • An assistant/helper doing chores and other tasks • A pet sitter for both dogs and cats CPR/BLS certified with American Heart Association. Clean driving record and owns a car. Fully vaccinated and will wear a mask if necessary! Can provide recommendations. I’m an easygoing, gentle, and kind person. I have a very calm demeanor. I’m extremely patient with kids and really do love them, despite the challenges that can come with babysitting. They’re so sweet, and never fail to make me laugh or smile. My favorite things to do with kids are: • Outings • Drawing • Reading • Games (i love minecraft and a lot of nintendo games) • Naps (who doesn’t like nap time?)
“Our 15 month old took to Theresa very quickly! She read with him and they played together while they got comfortable and then they did the whole bedtime routine. She was conscientious about safety, following our house guidelines and routine, and very sweet with him. We look forward to having her back. ”
Hi, My name is Djedjiga. I graduated from college with a bachelor’s degree in psychology. Since my graduation I have been babysitting kids from age 1 to 12 years old during the day and evenings, after that I was hired as a teacher’s assistant in a preschool for a year. I love working with kids and engage with them through creative play. During my time working with children, I demonstrate my skills of being patient and responsible person. In addition,I am CPR certified .
Hello my name is Evin! I am a graduate of San Francisco State University where I earned a BA in Child and Adolescent Development with a concentration in youth work and out of school time as well as a Minor in Africana studies. I also have a Masters (MA) in Drama Therapy at CIIS. I have worked as a coordinator for different youth programs throughout the Bay for over 7 years now abd a program manager of youth programming for the last 4 years. A lot of the work I do centers on culture, healing, Mental Health, Restorative Justice, etc. I have been working with children for over a decade now. I started off babysitting for local families back in San Diego. Then it was more infant and toddler care. Right into college I worked in preschools for two years then went into summer and after school programs with school-age kids, and following that I was a camp counselor at a radical healing retreat with high school students. I now write curriculum for one of the summer programs I work for and after being a coordinator for both programs I am now a full time program manger. I am super into creativity and socio-emotional development along with education and safety. I pride my self in making children feel safe to learn and express themselves as well as discover who they are as individuals. I love supporting youth in all their endeavors and I truly have a natural understanding, patience, and connection with children.
“Evin really helped us out on short notice when our scheduled sitter bailed on us at the very last minute. From the moment she came over she was super friendly, professional and did a great job making our little one feel comfortable. Our son really enjoyed his time with her and I would highly recommend her to anyone using Urbansitter. Thanks Evin for your help!”
Hi Everyone! My name is Jamiah and I have been an educator for over fourteen years with many of those years in special-education/inclusion. My experience with infant-care helping loved ones through their postpartum experience, then earned my first job as a preschool assistant, and it has now manifested into my personal doula practice. I thoroughly enjoy working with all families and children with many different learning styles. I am patient, warm, supportive and use my creativity to bring new experiences to your children’s lives. I have worked with babies through adults in various schools as an instructional aid, preschool educator, dance teacher, on the cultural administrator team, in day programs for neurodivergent adults, and memory care with elders as a private care giver. As a doula I have experience working with families & infants who are navigating birth and postpartum. Moreover, I am CPR, AED & first aid certified, comfortable administering medicine, navigating sensitive diets/allergies, have 10 Early Childhood Development Units, provide sibling support during birth (rates will vary), have worked with families with multiples (twins), and love supporting families with pets. My care is centered around social emotional learning, restorative justice, self-autonomy, and trauma-informed. Moreover, I have a degree in Ethnic & Dance Studies and have worked as an art teacher for many years with MoAD. I am comfortable facilitating activities, developing curriculum, and some homework assistance. I am very excited about the prospect of supporting your family!
