Paloma $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Paloma! I’m a warm, positive, and creative caregiver with experience in infant/toddler care and tutoring school-age kids in English, art, and music. I’m studying child psychology and I plan to become a therapist specializing in neurodivergent and special needs children, kids' mental health, different family structures, and multicultural families. I have a drivers license, a car, and a perfect driving record, plus CPR/First Aid training for adults, children, and infants. I believe in affirming kids' sense of self from a young age and building trust and confidence through open communication with the parents about boundaries, expectations, and each child's unique needs. I love using cooking, music, art, and play to help children learn to express themselves in a healthy way. I can also teach basic ASL to kids still developing verbal skills! I love pets and can help with homework too! Feel free to reach out if you think we would be a good fit or if you have any other questions for me!

Fernanda $33 per hour for 1 child

Hi moms & families! 🤍 My name is Fernanda, and I’m currently looking for a full-time - part time nanny position (around 40 hours/week) in Sonoma County, Marin, Novato, or nearby areas. I live in Petaluma. I’ve been working in childcare for 8+ years, with lots of experience caring for infants and toddlers. I’m CPR & First Aid certified, bilingual in English and Spanish, and have been driving for 10+ years. References are also available! 😊 But most importantly, I truly love what I do. I’m a patient, nurturing, and reliable nanny who loves creating a safe, loving, and fun environment where little ones can learn and grow. 🤍 I’m also a mom to my sweet 19-month-old daughter, and I’m hoping to find a family who would be comfortable with me bringing her along while I work. I’ve seen how wonderful it can be for children to grow up together—playing, learning, sharing, and having a little buddy by their side. 🧸💕 If you or someone you know is looking for a loving, experienced nanny, I’d love to connect! Please feel free to send me a message or tag a family who might be a good fit. 🤍 📍 Petaluma | Sonoma County | Marin | Novato 🕐 Full-time | ~40 hours/week 👶 Infant & toddler experience ❤️ CPR/First Aid certified 🗣️ English & Spanish 📋 References available

Booked by 3 families in Cotati, CA

Hi! My name is Serena, and I have over a decade of experience working with children. I started my career as a preschool teacher and have since worked as a substitute teacher and paraeducator in public schools. I earned my Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education from Grand Canyon University in 2018. I truly enjoy working with children and helping them feel safe, supported, and comfortable while they learn and grow. When I’m not working, I love riding horses and spending time with my cats, Gruffy & Titi. I also enjoy cooking, reading, yoga, hiking, camping, and traveling. I’m friendly, dependable, and easygoing, and I look forward to getting to know your family!

"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."
