Jackeline $30 per hour for 1 child

Nurturing a child's curiosity and watching them reach new milestones is my greatest passion. With six years of experience 4 years in a daycare, caring for children ages 5-month-old to 3 years old I prioritize creating a patient, creative, and safe environment. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules to ensure consistency for your little one. Whether we are playing outdoor sports or solving puzzles, I love keeping children active and engaged. I hold CPR training and First Aid certifications. I value clear communication and provide regular updates via text, phone calls, or verbal reports at pickup to keep you informed. Because I have a reliable car and love animals, I am happy to assist with school runs or pet-friendly households. I am truly honored to be a positive influence in your child's life and look forward to building a meaningful connection with your family.

Booked by 2 families in Fairfax, CA

Hello! My name is Griselda. Many call me Gris or Grizzy for short. I am offering afternoon and weekend childcare as well as care during school breaks(for example: winter, mid-winter, spring and summer break). I have been working with children from a young age and as I grew older, I turned my genuine love for children into a professional occupation. For the last three years, I have been working at a preschool, teaching children from the ages 2-5. Despite working with these ages, I am open to working with children of any age. I am CPR certified and have taken multiple Early Childhood Education courses at COM where I learned how to keep children safe, and how to develop a nurturing environment where they can thrive.

Flavia $40 per hour for 1 child

I have up to five years of experience as a nanny, caring for children from newborns to early childhood. Families describe me as nurturing, patient, and incredibly reliable. I naturally create a calm, safe, and loving environment where children feel understood and cared for. I pay close attention to the little details—routines, feeding cues, and emotional needs—and I always show up with kindness and respect for each family’s unique style. In addition to my nanny experience, I bring specialized knowledge as a Newborn Care Specialist. I am a certified postpartum doula and have worked in this role for about two years, supporting babies from their very first day of life. I love helping new parents adjust to their newborn’s needs, guiding them through feeding, soothing, routines, and the emotional transition of welcoming a new baby. My goal is always to support families with compassion, confidence, and gentle, attentive care during this precious stage. I would be more than happy to help you and your family and be part of your kiddos’ growth, care, and daily routine.

"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."
