Mariana $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Mariana. I’m open to full/part time care opportunities. I am also available for occasional sitting so please reach out for availability. I have prior experience working at licensed care facilities for UCSF and Salesforce but am looking to transition to personal care after some time off. I am passionate about early childhood education and providing one on one care will allow me to dedicate more time to interact and engage with your child. I also enjoy sharing age appropriate arts and crafts, reading and visiting nearby parks and libraries if permitted. I have prior experience managing daily care needs such as, preparing snacks and following any dietary guidelines set by parents and care givers, changing diapers and assisting with potty training and following nap schedules. In addition to maintaining a safe and nurturing environment, I am open to helping with light household tasks during downtimes and keeping things tidy. I’m like to keep open communication with parents and caregivers to provide the best care and support. Happy to answer any other questions. Best, Mariana

Hi there, my name is Emma. I am a social worker and am offering childcare and household services. I am currently in between jobs and finishing coursework for my degree, so my availability is pretty flexible. I have provided childcare since my late teen years. I am comfortable with infants, toddlers, and children. I am happy to hang at home or take kids on outings. I have experience working with kids with developmental disabilities and unique needs. I am very tidy and happy to do cooking and cleaning and other tasks around the home or run errands for you. I am an animal lover and am cool with pets too.

Booked by 1 family in El Cerrito, CA

Hi families! I’m an experienced nanny currently looking for a full-time position. I have a strong background caring for infants and toddlers. I’m formally trained and educated in RIE and hold a bachelors degree in child psychology, which has deeply shaped my caregiving philosophy. Through my RIE training, I focus on respectful, attentive caregiving that supports children’s natural development. I believe in giving children space to explore, move, and learn at their own pace while providing a calm, secure, and predictable environment. I prioritize connection, communication, and treating children as capable individuals. I enjoy creating simple, engaging days that include outdoor time, reading, conversation, and plenty of opportunities for independent play and discovery. I’m patient, reliable, and very attentive to each child’s unique temperament and needs. Families I’ve worked with value my calm presence, strong understanding of infant and young children’s development, and my ability to build trusting relationships with both children and parents.

$38 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in El Cerrito, CA

Hi! My name is Caroll. I’m 34 years old and originally from Brazil. I’ve been living in the U.S. for 5 years, and during this time I’ve had the privilege of working as a nanny for different families, lovingly caring for children from newborns all the way up to 10 years old. I hold a Postpartum Doula certification from the Doulas Institute, which has strengthened my knowledge and ability to support families with newborns in their most delicate and special stage. I’m passionate about childhood and love encouraging kids’ creativity through play, hands-on activities, and lots of imagination always prioritizing screen-free time. I also have experience caring for siblings and multiple children of different ages at once, and I’m happy to help with organizing toys, clothes, and daily routines. I’m fully vaccinated, CPR and First Aid certified for infants, children, and adults, have a valid California driver’s license, and my own car. I speak Portuguese, English, and Spanish, and I’m excited to meet a new family to grow with and build a beautiful connection! 🤍

Phun $15 per hour for 1 child

Dear Families, I hope this message finds you well! My name is Phun and I’ve always loved working with children and have years of experience helping my mom, a full-time nanny for over 20 years, care for kids during summers and school breaks. Most recently, when she traveled to India for a family emergency, I cared for the family she worked with for two months, managing all aspects of their children’s daily routines. In addition to hands-on caregiving, I’ve taken a child development course and completed an EMT course during college, equipping me with the skills to ensure children are safe and engaged in age-appropriate activities. I’m fully vaccinated and hold a BLS/First Aid certificate, so you can feel confident in my ability to provide a safe and nurturing environment. I bring a caring, thoughtful, and professional approach to childcare and would love to get to know your family. Please let me know if you’d like to chat further or arrange a meeting time. Warm regards, Phun

"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."
