Booked by 57 families in Fairfax, CA

Hello! My name is Wendy. I am a reliable, warm, and experienced nanny with over 8 years of childcare experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I truly enjoy creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children feel happy, supported, and encouraged to grow. I love organizing creative activities, outdoor play, reading time, and educational games that stimulate curiosity, confidence, and development. I have a degree in Business Administration with a minor in Banking Internal Control, which has helped me develop strong organizational skills, responsibility, and attention to detail in everything I do. In addition to my childcare experience, I am also a Dental Assistant and have knowledge in children’s dental care and hygiene. I enjoy helping kids learn healthy habits like brushing their teeth properly in a fun and positive way. I am naturally very patient, loving, and attentive. I care deeply about the children I work with and always treat them with the same care, respect, and dedication I would give to my own family. I am bilingual in Spanish and English, which allows me to communicate easily with parents and also introduce children to a second language if desired. I swam competitively in college, so I enjoy encouraging kids to stay active through swimming, sports, and movement-based activities. I also have knowledge of first aid and always prioritize children’s safety and well-being. I value open and respectful communication with parents so we can work together to support the children in the best possible way. I would love the opportunity to support your family and become a trusted caregiver for your children. Thank you for your time and I look forward to meeting you.

“Punctual, warm, and prepared. Our son is a ball of energy and Wendy was up for it all!”

Hi, I’m Andrea! I’m a reliable and caring babysitter with over 6 years of experience supporting families in the Bay Area.

Looking forward to meeting you and your little ones!

"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."
