Greetings families! My name is Samantha but you all can call me Sam. I have been a career nanny for 10+ years. And have experience working with newborns, infant, toddlers, and older children all around. Plus, a background with children diagnosed with autism, ADHD, and bipolar disorder. I am transitioning to being a postpartum doula and newborn care specialist. Currently in the process of becoming certified with DONA International by the end of 2023. Am mom to a pitbull mix doggo and a domestic short hair kitty. :)
“Sam was wonderful! She was prompt, professional, an excellent communicator, and she was terrific with my young toddler. I had never had a sitter before so I was incredibly nervous but I felt immediately comfortable leaving my kid with Sam. She updated us via text to let us know how it was going. Sam listened closely to any instructions I left, and followed them closely and respectfully, and let me know each thing was clear and understood. She was terrific playing with my toddler and I'd be thrilled to book her in the future.”
Hi families! My name is Chokey, and I’m currently looking for my next wonderful family to work with. I will be available starting September 28, 2026. A little about me: I’m Tibetan, born and raised in India, and I have an 18-year-old son who recently graduated from high school. I have over 10 years of professional nanny experience, caring for children from newborns through age 10, with extensive experience with infants and toddlers. I have worked with several families starting from the newborn stage, and with many others, I started when their babies were around 3–4 months old. I also have experience caring for twins and working in a nanny-share, caring for children from two different families at the same time. Before moving to the U.S., I worked as a Registered Nurse in India, with experience in midwifery and newborn care. My nursing background has given me valuable knowledge and experience that I bring to my work caring for babies and young children. I am also trained in CPR and infant massage. I come from a Buddhist background and bring a calm, compassionate, patient, and nurturing approach to childcare. I’m reliable, responsible, and truly committed to providing loving and attentive care. I’m looking for a full-time position with a minimum of 45 guaranteed hours per week. Additional hours would be greatly appreciated. I’m very flexible and happy to stay late when needed, help on weekends, or accommodate occasional last-minute schedule changes. I have excellent references from my previous families and would be happy to provide them. If you think I may be a good fit for your family, I would love to connect and learn more about your childcare needs.
“I would give Chokey 10 stars if I could! She takes care of our kids (5 yo boy and 1,5 yo girl) regularly and she is so wonderful with them. She is very caring, loving, she constantly makes our kids laugh and they adore her. Chokey is very hardworking and goes above and beyond. She never takes shortcuts. I feel my children are very safe with her as she is a registered nurse. It's a joy to have Chokey around.”
Hello my name is Odalys. I recently graduated from California State University, East Bay. Majoring in Human development with a concentration in Early Childhood. I’ve been around children ever since I was young, my mom always looked after my cousins and neighbors, since then I knew that I wanted to work with children. I started babysitting at the age of 12, I would help out my sister look after our former teachers toddler. Children need a lot of love and support, I love helping children and being around them. Seeing them smile and laugh makes my heart happy.
I have been working with children for 10 years, from newborns to teenagers. I have supported many families as a Newborn Care Specialist, and I currently work in an after-school daycare program with children ages 0 to 4 years, which allows me to have daytime availability for full-time nanny positions. I love dogs and am very punctual, reliable, and communicative.
“Raquel took care of my daughter Alice for a little over a month, and I only have positive things to say! She is extremely responsible, caring, and has excellent communication with parents. At first, my daughter cried a lot because she struggles with being away from me, but Raquel was very patient and managed to gain both her trust and mine. She was always attentive and often did even more than what we had agreed upon when it came to Alice’s care. It was truly a wonderful experience having her with us, and I’m only sad that our schedules no longer align. I highly recommend her!”

"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."
Michelle R., mom of two
"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."
Milena L., mom of two
"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."
Heather B., mom of two
