Jill $35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Atherton, CA

My most recent and current experience is working as a nanny/private tutor for a 4-yr-old for the past year. I’ve given him afternoon lessons in the 3Rs, art and piano, as well as managed playtime, exercise and meals. I previously nannied for a little girl since her 8th month. I love children of all ages and feel equally well equipped to manage any age and/or multiple children. I enjoy cooking healthy meals and exercising with my son. I’m an avid reader and delight in reading storybooks to kids and engaging them in meaningful playtime activities or tutoring as necessary. I come from a large, close-knit family with 4 siblings all 2 years apart in age. I’ve been raising children through family obligations, babysitting gigs, and my own child (now 16 yrs) my entire life. I also have significant training and experience in healthcare and senior care. I’m a Certified Nursing Assistant and Home Health Aid. I’ve worked in hospital and home settings. I have an MBA and previously worked in the biotech/pharma and technology transfer industries for 20+ years. I’m looking to make a transition in pursuit of a better work-life balance at this stage of life. I’m looking for a stable family where I can become part an integral part of the fabric of daily life ensuring everyone’s day runs smoothly, happily and healthfully. My undergraduate degree in psychology (with honors) illustrates my lifelong interest in human behavior and child development. I continue to maintain an energetic personality and commitment to lifelong learning.

Valeria $32 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Valeria, and I am currently looking for a new position because the children I have cared for over the past three years — one of them since birth — are now attending school full-time. I continue to support the family a few days a week by helping with children’s laundry and cooking until I find a new full-time role. I offer babysitting, nanny, elder care, and light housekeeping services. I truly love being a nanny and have experience caring for newborns, babies, toddlers, and older children since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included dropping off and picking up children from school, doing crafts, helping with homework, and taking children to extracurricular activities such as dance classes. I also work as a domestic assistant and am comfortable with cooking, cleaning, and grocery shopping. In the United States, I have worked as a nanny, cleaner, delivery driver, and Lyft driver. In Brazil, I worked as a nursing technician, caring for elderly patients and children, and assisting with procedures and minor surgeries. I am comfortable with pets and happy to work with families who have them.

"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."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
