Booked by 1 family in Novato, CA

Hi! I’m Juliana. I’m an experienced nanny who has been working with families in Marin County for nearly five years, with over eight years of experience caring for children of different ages, from infants to school-aged children. I’m originally from Colombia, fluent in both English and Spanish, and currently a college student with a strong educational background. My experience includes working as an au pair, nanny, babysitter, and in educational settings with groups of children. I’m responsible, caring, organized, and reliable. I enjoy creating a safe and engaging environment through educational play, arts and crafts, outdoor activities, and age-appropriate routines that encourage independence and confidence. I also have experience with Montessori-inspired childcare. I’m a confident driver with a clean driving record and my own reliable vehicle. I value clear communication with parents and would love to connect with a family looking for an experienced, dependable, and loving nanny!

“Juli is a warm, caring, and wonderful nanny who has taken care of my 2 kids from ages 10 months to 5 years old. I cannot recommend her highly enough!”

$32 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kayla, and I’m a proud mother of two girls. I’m born and raised in Marin County. As a Mexican and Guatemalan American, I value creating a caring, respectful, and family-oriented environment for children. Childcare has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my mom worked as a nanny and often brought me along, giving me firsthand experience in the nanny and childcare setting from a young age. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for children ranging from 6 months to 4 years old. I love spending quality time with kids by reading books, going on walks, visiting the park, and encouraging fun, age-appropriate activities that help them learn and grow. I’ve also assisted with transporting children to and from activities such as story time, music classes, gymnastics, and appointments. In addition to childcare, I have experience providing care for individuals with disabilities, which has strengthened my patience, compassion, and ability to adapt to different needs. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, meal preparation, and keeping your home organized while ensuring your children are safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Kayla was a wonderful babysitter and nanny to our son, and we’d highly recommend her. He genuinely loved spending time with her. She’s come to care for him many times, and she’s extremely patient and great with our 20-month-old. What stood out most was how she handled a day when he wasn’t feeling well. She comforted him, sang to him, and took really attentive, loving care of him throughout. That kind of patience and warmth is exactly what you hope for in someone watching your child. We’d happily have her back anytime.”

"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."
