Hi, Im Isabella a Sophomore at UCSB studying Environmental Studies. I’m offering child care and if needed light household care with it. I just started with UrbanSitter! I have worked with kids for around 3 years now. I’ve worked at the boys and girls club, science nights for elementary schools, teaching elementary students with Sprout Up, and have done babysitting before I would be a great tutor for pre-k to 3rd grade if wanted mostly in reading. I can do errands around the house as well depending on the task. I also have worked at an animal shelter only for a little bit have been dog sitting dogs since elementary school for family and friends!
Hi there, I’m Danaly! I have about 2.5 years of childcare experience from my time working full-time as a Recreational Leader in my hometown (San Pablo). I’ve worked with kids of all ages, from toddlers (2.5 years) to teens (17 years), and I absolutely love creating fun, engaging activities for them. Arts and crafts are some of my favorite things to do with the kiddos, but I’m also happy to help out with homework or school projects. If needed, I can assist with pick-ups and drop-offs for school or extracurricular activities too. I also do not mind helping around the house if needed! Right now, I work as a Family Advocate, supporting young mothers and their babies under 5. I’m also CPR/AED Certified and 100% pet friendly, so your little ones (and fur babies) will always be in good hands. I’d love to bring my experience, creativity, and care to your family!
“Danaly was a super helpful and fun with my kids (12yrs old and 6yrs old). I feel like she really got to know my kids and created a bond with them.”
I managed a childcare department at the YMCA in Redding, CA for 2 years and have worked in childcare and nannying for 8 years, half of that being in the Bay Area. I've worked with all ages from newborn up to teenagers, with an large cluster of those being around ages 4-10. Every age comes with its own delights, challenges, and needs, and I enjoy learning the particularities of what will work for each family and child. I love being active and incorporate movement into my care as much as I can, whether that's playing soccer in the yard, turning on music for a dance party, or going for walks or bike rides. Creative projects are also a big part of my life, and I often bring in crafts and hands-on activities. Drawing a favorite object, making a mosaic out of stones at the park, bringing my latest knitting project as a little show and tell -- there are so many ways to engage creatively! My goal is to make sure every child is safe, happy, and feels engaged with. I grew up in a large, formerly Amish family and have been around and watching kids my whole life. I’m a recent political economy graduate from UC Berkeley, currently doing oral history and linguistic work when I'm not caring for children.
“Eythana is an absolutely fantastic babysitter - extremely experienced and knowledgeable about children, completely reliable, totally professional, and just all-around fantastic. She cared for my son before school on a regular basis when he was in his last year of preschool and in kindergarten (he’s now 8 and in third grade), and she still our favorite sitter and my first call/text when something comes up I need someone to care for my son! My son has a great time with her every time she sits for us, and I know he’s in great hands and doing engaging activities and off screens. I highly, highly recommend her to any family looking for a trusted and experienced sitter who’s absolutely great with kids.”
I’m a recent UC Berkeley graduate, 22 years old, with a B.A. in English Literature, and I still live in Berkeley. I’ve grown up in a care-oriented, family-centered household with three younger brothers, and helping to raise them has been a central part of my life. From feeding, dressing, and managing bedtime routines to helping with homework and keeping them entertained, I’ve learned firsthand how to balance responsibility, patience, and fun. That lifelong experience, combined with babysitting for other families, has given me a strong foundation in childcare and a deep appreciation for creating nurturing, safe, and engaging environments for children of all ages. I love being active and outdoors, so I enjoy hiking, running, and exploring new spaces with kids, as well as quiet time reading or telling stories to spark creativity and imagination. Growing up in a busy, caring household has taught me empathy, adaptability, and problem-solving. These are skills that I bring to every family or parent that I work with. I’m comfortable helping with light household tasks, meal prep, homework, and daily routines while keeping children happy, safe, and stimulated. I’m happy to babysit anywhere in the Bay Area and am excited to bring my experience, energy, and love of caregiving to new families. I take pride in building trust with both parents and children and creating a positive, supportive environment where kids can learn, play, and feel cared for.
I am a college student currently attending UC Berkeley. I worked as an education facilitator for the Lawrence Hall of Science for a year and a half. I worked with kids of all ages, and it has been the best job that I have had. My main role was to educate kids about various subjects in STEM. But my role was also to make all the children feel safe, comfortable, and included. Seeing smiles on kids' faces or knowing that I taught them something brings me such joy. Working with children has been such an amazing experience, because even though I would teach them about science, I think kids can teach adults a lot of things, too. I am also available to take care of dogs. I've had dogs my whole life, and I absolutely love them. Dogs are so much fun because they require playing and running, which encourages me to also be active.
