Rosa $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Rosa, but most families and kiddos know me as “RoRo.” I’d describe myself as fun, responsible, trustworthy, empathetic, and genuinely passionate about working with great families. I’m currently a student at Santa Rosa Junior College and have the summer off, so I’m hoping to connect with a wonderful family here in Marin. My childcare experience goes all the way back to 2008, when I worked at UCSF as a childcare assistant. Through that role, I met several amazing families I eventually became a nanny for — and I still help many of them today with occasional babysitting, date nights, pet sitting, and house sitting. I have experience caring for children from newborns to teenagers, including two teens I’ve known since they were just 13 months old! FAST FACTS: • 15+ years childcare experience • Experience with newborns through teens • Clean driving record & reliable transportation • Long-term family references available • Comfortable with pets, house sitting & pup sitting • Homework help, meal prep & light housekeeping • Fun, dependable, and focuses on safety • CPR & First Aid recertification on the way! • Part-time, summer June-August

Emily $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Emily, I’m 20 years old, and I offer childcare and household assistance. I enjoy working with children and have plenty of hands-on experience. I’ve helped care for my younger brother, who is now 8, since he was a baby. With that I’ve developed a lot of patience, creativity, and a strong understanding of children’s needs at different ages. I love engaging kids in activities like arts and crafts, reading, and helping with homework. I also have experience working with another family, where my responsibilities included driving children to and from after-school activities, assisting with school assignments, and helping maintain a structured, supportive environment. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to assist with household tasks such as cooking and cleaning. I’m very flexible, dependable, and comfortable working in homes with pets of all kinds. I would love the opportunity to support your family and create a safe, fun, and positive environment for your children.

Booked by 1 family in Fairfax, CA

Hi! I’m Gaby. I’m 23 years old. I am bilingual. I’d love to help out a family in need of a babysitter/nanny. I am currently working for a family but looking for some extra hours during the week. I have hands-on experience with children of all ages—from toddlers to pre-teens. I worked at the Bay Area Discovery Museum running summer camps in the year of 2019 & 2020. I’ve worked for 3 families. During my times with those families, I’ve provided care, fed children, put them to bed as well as prepared food. I always aim to create a safe, warm, and fun environment, and I’d love to chat more if you’re looking for someone dependable and kid-friendly!

"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."
