Booked by 30 families in Albany, CA

Hi! My name is Mikaela, and I’m a 30-year-old college graduate with a degree in Sociology and a minor in Child Development. I have over 15 years of experience working with children, from helping raise my siblings to serving as a summer camp supervisor for five years. While attending college in Texas, I worked in daycares and volunteered in a hospital maternity ward, which deepened my passion for supporting children and families. Since graduating, I’ve worked as a certified behavioral specialist supporting children on the autism spectrum, and I recently spent two years as a Special Education teacher before moving back to the Bay Area. Currently, I work as a behavioral specialist at a local school and babysit in my free time. Working with children isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s something I’ve built my career around!

“Kayla is amazing! She did a great job handling our two young kids (4 and 1 years old) and was super sweet and friendly with them. They had a very positive experience. Highly recommend her!”

Hi my name is Elexis and I currently attend Sacramento State University online. I have my AA in Psychology and obtaining my BA in Social Work. I have always had a love for youth because I grew up in a big family with lots of younger kids and siblings. I was always the one babysitting, and truly grew a love for it. I really enjoy working with children as I have worked with children since the age of 16. I have worked at multiple after school programs and boys & girls clubs from San Francisco to Sacramento. My career goal is to become a social worker for foster youth or become a preschool/kindergarten teacher one day. I have 5+ years of caregiving for seniors and 10+ years of experience working with youth/kids of all ages. I love working closely with families, building rapport, hanging out with the kiddos and being a helping hand whenever I can. It takes a village to raise a child and I love to be that breath of fresh air for parents. I have a puppy of my own, he is 3 years old. I am not afraid of big dogs. I am willing to walk, dog sit, feed and play with your fur baby no matter their age or size. Thank you for considering me and I look forward to meeting you and your family :) Cancellation Policy : Please let me know if you need to cancel at least 24 hours before scheduled date and time . - If you cancel less than 24 hours: I will expect 50% of what total payment would have been. Due to the fact that I schedule my days around when I have a gig/job.

Hello my name is Adriana and I'm from Caracas, Venezuela. I speak Spanish and English fluently. After high school I studied at a culinary school. I love food and cooking in general. After working in Venezuela in some kitchens I decided to come to US as an au pair, to learn the language, and more about this country and culture. Also I love kids, they are adorable and funny. So I knew that being an au pair would be a great. opportunity and experience for me. So, I came to the SF bay area (Novato) in 2008 untll 2010. I was an au pair living with a great american family taking care 2 boys. They were 4 and 1 years old when I got there. I was responsible for them for 45 hours a week while my host parents were at work. My duties include making their meals, laundry, homework, etc. I also played with them, read books to them, and participated in their daily activities. It was a great experience. After 2 years as an aupair. I started working as a nanny with an awesome family in Dubouce Triangle, taking care 1 boy (5 year old) and 1 girl (3 years old) also 45 hours a week. After being an live in nanny I stared to work ocationally eith kids. I have worked with all ages. I like all kids but my favorites are infants and todlers. I am currently taking care of a seven months old baby two days a week, and am available for occasional night or weekends. I am flexible with my schedule, (given at least two day's notice), and am always looking for extra hours, so please feel free to contact me! Also I'm animal lover so if you have a dog, cat, fish, snake, lizard, mouse, or whatever I'll be totally ok.... ;) NOTE: For ocatinal nanny share. the rate is $25 per family p/hr.

Booked by 28 families in Albany, CA

Hello families!! My name is Esthefania, and I am looking for full time role (split schedule accepted, ROTA position more than welcome), or two part time roles. I am currently doing a ROTA nanny backup care for 6 amazing children, but I’m looking for a long term role where I can bring my love and passion for taking care of others. I have been doing this for 8 years, amazing years with rewards and challenges, but always open to learn and accept feedback. I have work authorization, so a W-2 position is welcomed. I honor the family’s rules, but I am also proactive and comfortable taking initiative. I believe being a nanny is about more than just taking care of the children. It’s about becoming a trusted and reliable part of the household. I am open to step in whatever is needed in the household, from light tidying up to laundry, grocery shopping and meal prep! Let’s connect. I can’t wait to meet you!

“Esthefania is an amazing caretaker! She watched our twins for a week while their regular nanny was away and dropped right into our routine. She is warm and capable and kind. ”

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
