Booked by 6 families in Canyon, CA

My name is Margarita. I have 12+ years experience as a nanny. I have 5 younger brothers and sisters who I helped take care growing up. Now, I have 2 teenage children of my own. I have been a nanny for several babies and toddlers for years at a time. I have also done a few nanny shares with toddlers. I take the children to the park, library, and walks in the neighborhood. I am comfortable driving, doing arts and crafts, diapering, preparing meals, and getting the children on a schedule both with naps/eating. I maintain communication with the parents throughout the day. I still stay in touch with all of the families that I have worked with in the past and love to continue to watch the children grow up. I am bilingual - Spanish and English. I have taken classes in childhood development, Pediatric first aid, Child/infant CPR AED, Adult CPR AED and Asthma care course. I am up to date on all vaccines, including the covid vaccine and booster, and follow all guidelines to stay safe/healthy. I am looking for a full time position. I'm comfortable caring for multiple children and in households with pets. I have excellent references that can be shared upon request. I have a passion for taking care of children and will care for your children as my own.

“Margarita nannied for our daughter (in a nanny share with another little boy about the same age) from when she was under 1 to when we moved her to preschool. She is the kindest, most loving person you could have caring your your child. My daughter loves her and I always knew she was safe and happy when she was with Margarita. She is always singing, playing outside, talking to, and engaging with the kids. They are always so happy. I would highly recommending hiring her.”

Booked by 55 families in Canyon, CA

Hi! My name is Andrea and I am a 20 year old living in Oakland (Rockridge). Fun fact- I am 5th generation! I have been so lucky to have worked with children since I was 12 and for all of my previous jobs. I am comfortable caring for all ages! I have worked for •East bay Regional Park District• and •City of Oakland• as a recreation leader for after school programs and summer camps! I have worked for multiple families over the years and look to build more relationships with you and your children. To me it is very important to get a child out in nature and explore and experience everything in the outside world so I love to go on walks and out the house if that is possible with your child. I absolutely love all animals and am more than willing to care for them! I can help with light housekeeping, meal preparation, and any other. My goal is to provide a safe and nurturing environment where children can learn, play, and grow. I look forward to meeting you and your family! I am more than happy to do overnights and travel. CPR certified! I do not smoke! Do not drive! Please be sure of your hours before booking-you still pay for hours listed even if home early. If you want to extend hours, I am okay with that as long as there is clear communication! Thanks :)

Booked by 83 families in Canyon, CA

Hello parents! My name is Livia, I’m 33 years old, and I’m originally from Brazil. I’ve been caring for children for several years in both Brazil and the U.S. I worked as an au pair from 2019 to 2021, and since then I’ve been working as a professional nanny, primarily with infants and toddlers while caring for children of all ages. As a caretaker I value each child and respect their own personality. I also believe kids thrive when they feel safe, respected, and truly seen. I love the Montessori philosophy and enjoy using many of its principles in my daily work. At the same time, I understand every family is unique, so I always respect each family’s parenting style and adapt my care to what works best for their child. I recently graduated from Berkeley City College with degrees in Liberal Arts and Gender Studies, and I continue taking courses in child development because I genuinely love learning. I recently started my postpartum doula training to better support babies and families in the future. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, have completed Child Safety training through the American Red Cross Learning Center, and have a clean driving record with my own reliable car. I speak Portuguese, English, and intermediate Spanish. I spent three months living in Argentina, which helped me improve my Spanish while experiencing the culture. I love arts and crafts, reading, sensory play, outdoor adventures, and creating fun, developmentally appropriate activities. I’m available for date nights, weekends, overnights, travel, and I’m always happy to care for pets too. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family!

“Livia was amazing! She is a seasoned pro with babies and toddlers and handled my two boys with ease. My two year old son loved her so much he was asking about her the next morning! Will definitely be hiring again. ”

"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."
