Emaya $23 per hour for 1 child

For infants I prepared bottles, burped babies, changed diapers, and managed nap time routines for infants ages 2 months to 1 year. And for toddlers I assisted with potty training, mediated sharing disputes, and helped young children with dressing and grooming. For household management and safety I cooked simple, balanced dinners while avoiding cross contamination for children with food allergies. Handled basic in home first aid and ensure the house remained child proof. Led children through arts and crafts, built Lego castles, made blanket forts, baked, build puzzles and played educational games etc. I also work as a paraprofessional working with children has always been my passion and just being able to have the opportunity to do so is really a blessing and I really enjoy doing it’s been 1 year so far with me being a paraprofessional and I hope I get the opportunity to connect with a family I’m really looking forward to supporting on whatever they need and being there for the children or child.

Nicky $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I am a mother of one son who is now off to college. Being a mother has been the highlight of my life and brings me so much joy! I have also worked with Benicia Unified School District as a Special Purpose Aide, Substitute Librarian, and Yard Duty. Having just one child, I regularly had all of his friends at our house and some of them refer to me as a second mom. I am incredibly empathetic, compassionate, great at diversion, and fun! Kids tend to take to me quite easily. I look forward to talking with you. Thank you, Nicky

Booked by 2 families in American Canyon, CA

Hello families, I'm Luz Maria, though most know me as Lucy. I'm the youngest of five siblings, who enjoys spontaneous adventures, hiking, and spending time with loved ones. I value being open-minded, kind, curious, and empathetic. I strongly believe in self-care, recognizing that we can best care for others when we also take care of ourselves. I have over a decade of experience supporting infants and toddlers. My top priority is their safety. Beyond that, I strive to create an environment where children feel encouraged to explore and learn. I take time to truly listen and understand each child's needs, emphasizing being present and intentional in every interaction. I believe children should be able to fully express themselves by talking through emotions, while still setting boundaries. My goal as a nanny is to help children explore their world safely and confidently while supporting each family's values, routines, and parenting style. Please let me know your needs and how I can be a valuable addition to your family’s support system.

“Luz is a fantastic and loving nanny for my little boy for almost 17 months. I met Luz at the park and saw how incredible she was interacting with kids espicialy infants and toddlers, the reason why I hired her as my night sitter couple times a month. She is responsible, caring, honest, communicative and on-time throughout her employment with me. For anyone who is looking for a nanny, I would strongly recommend Luz she is an amazing nanny who will sincerely care for your children like they are family.”

I'm dependable, calm, and work closely with parents to maintain consistency with their parenting approach and routines.

"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."
