Booked by 4 families in Oakland, CA

Hi! I’m Ceylin. I’m a 28-year-old career nanny in San Francisco with over four years of full-time childcare experience, and I’m looking for a full-time position with a manageable commute. I started in the Bay Area as an au pair in Danville, caring for a 5-month-old girl and her 4-year-old sister for a year. From there I spent nearly two years in San Ramon with a baby boy, starting at 6 months, focusing on early development and emotional well-being. Alongside that, I supported another San Ramon family part-time as a mother’s helper for over two years; laundry, dishes, light cleaning, and general household organization. Most recently, I’ve spent the last year and a half in San Francisco with a baby boy I’ve cared for since he was 4 months old, combining full-time nanny care with mother’s-helper support for the family. That position is wrapping up this month, so I’m available to start right away. I’m CPR certified, have my own car, and have a clean driving record. I’d be glad to share contact information for my previous families. Trust matters more than anything in this work, and I’d rather you hear it from the people who know me. Thank you for reading, and I’d love to talk more!

Hola I'm Nancy and I am looking for an extended family to work with. I have worked with various families over the past 20 years. I have been exposed to the Montessori style. I have lots of experience with new parents solo or in a nanny shared. I have care for newborn babies and their needs until school age. I myself have 3 children of my own, whom I raised with the great families I worked with in the past. I like taking walks on the beach, listening to Disney songs, and have walks on a rainy day. My kids are now 16, 18 and 24 yrs old. I'm very reliable, responsible, stern, caring, flexible and I also have great references from my current and previous families. I’m searching for a family whose looking for an extended family to rely on. Gracias, Nancy

“Nancy was a nanny for my son (now 2) and also helped with my five year old. She is capable, experienced, conscientious, trustworthy communicative and entirely focused on the well-being of the child. She always came up with thoughtful activities for our kids and was very caring with them. She can cook for them and also is a dependable driver. Feel free to have Nancy put you in touch with me personally if you would like to chat further about her!”

My name is Bailey and I am 24 years old. I have been babysitting since I was 13 and enjoy interacting with kids. I have a very outgoing personality which means that children tend to open up to me very quickly. I am capable of cooking meals, cleaning, or running errands. I'm an adventurous person and can take the kids to the beach or out on walks. Making children feel loved and nurtured is what I love to do. I'd be more than happy to lend a helping hand to a family who is in search for a trustworthy and helpful individual. I recently graduated college in 2022 with a Hospitality and Tourism Degree.

"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."
