Angelina $30 per hour for 1 child

I truly enjoy spending time with children and creating a safe, caring, and fun environment where they can learn, play, and feel comfortable. Over the years I have gained experience working with kids of different ages. I worked for two years as a children’s activity animator in a tourist village with children ages 5–12. I also spent two years as an au pair in California, one year as an au pair in Belgium, and one year as a nanny in Austria. Currently I study psychology and child development, which helps me better understand children’s emotions and development. In the past few months I have also been babysitting part-time for several families. Through my experience as an au pair, I am comfortable cooking, helping with light housekeeping, organizing the home, and supporting families with daily routines. I can speak four languages fluently, and I also have some knowledge of Spanish. I can drive, i am responsible, patient, and attentive, and I value positive and supportive environment. Thank you!

Sule $37 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Şule, an experienced and caring nanny with 6+ years of childcare experience, working with children from newborns and infants through school-age. I have experience with multiple families and am comfortable with everything from infant care and sleep routines to school pick-ups, activities, outings, and helping children build age-appropriate independence. I’m CPR & First Aid certified and have additional training in Montessori, infant sleep, infant massage, sensory play, infant sign language, and newborn care. I also have a background in education, which helps me create fun, engaging, and developmentally appropriate activities for children. I’m reliable, patient, organized, and genuinely enjoy building a warm and trusting relationship with both children and parents. I’m currently looking for a long-term position in the Bay Area, and references are available upon request.

"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."
