Hi families, my name is Maya! I have 5 years of full time nannying and mother's helper experience with newborns and infants as young as 1 month, and children as old as 10. I have most often worked with multiple children (anywhere from 2-4 at once). I have in depth experience with potty training, transitioning to solids, sleep training (self soothe method and CIO method), tummy time, and speech delays and recently have experience with nanny shares. I also have coursework in early speech development and Linguistics. I’m trilingual and speak both Spanish and Portuguese fluently. Additionally, I am CPR and First Aid certified, Water Safe, and able to travel. In the past, I feel I have thrived most in positions that have had me double as a mother's helper. As a mother's helper I have frequently picked children up from school, provided transportation to extracurricular activities, sent out and picked up dry cleaning, kept the home stocked with essentials, grocery shopped, meal planned/prepped, made trips to the post office, taken care of the family pet, scheduled appointments, made vacation arrangements as well as accompanied my nanny family on vacation and cared for children overnight for added support. I consider myself to be very positive, outgoing, a team player, reliable, honest, responsible, flexible, efficient, communicative, upbeat, and most of all FUN! Some of my strengths and talents include organization and cooking. Please don’t hesitate to contact me If I sound like a good fit for your needs! Thank you for stopping by my profile! *resumé available upon request *in the process of updating my video profile. Video is out of date and new one is pending approval!

Hi! I'm Sarah, a registered nurse with extensive experience in childcare, babysitting, and nannying. I am currently accepting new families with newborns through 6 months of age. I currently work as a Med/Surg nurse and have experience in oncology, pediatrics, and some in NICU/neonatal care. Before becoming a nurse, I was an EMT and have been CPR certified since I was 12. During my time as an EMT, I worked with Girl Scouts at Skylark Ranch, where I received training and multiple childcare certifications as the health supervisor and assistant camp director. I also have experience taking care of children and adults as Ski Patrol and as a ski/snowboard instructor at several Truckee area resorts. I am AASI level 1 certified and have worked as a ski/snowboard-nanny. I am currently looking for a family with a newborn or young infant, ages 0-6 months. Potentially older as they continue to grow. I have experience with twins and multiples. I love animals, am drug-free, a non-smoker, have a reliable 4x4 vehicle, clean driving record, and background check. I am willing to adapt and learn the specific way your family does things. I would like to be consistent with your baby's routine, feeding schedule, sleep training, etc. I am also open to travel and have experience as a family vacation nanny.

Booked by 6 families in Penn Valley, CA

Hi, I’m Brittany! I’m a warm, dependable caregiver with 14+ years of experience with kids from 3 months to teens. I’m currently a household manager and nanny for two boys (ages 2 and 5) and a 12-year-old, and I occasionally care for two girls. I prioritize safety, health, and consistency, and tailor care to each child. I support kids in building confidence and independence at any stage. I have experience with neurodivergent children (18 months+) using structure, sensory play, and positive reinforcement. I have a clean driving record and a reliable car. I’m also a certified pet sitter, a dog mom of two (and one cat), and I’m verified across multiple professional nanny, sitter, and pet-care platforms. I bring over 3 years of household management and EA experience, including organizing, scheduling, errands, housekeeping, homework help, and meal/snack prep. I lead with patience, reliability, and clear communication, and I enjoy supporting each child’s strengths. I recently relocated to Sacramento (95824) and I’m available immediately. I’d love to learn more about your family.

“Brittany is very communicative and great with kids. It’s clear she knows what to do and can manage two little kids on her own. I appreciated her experience, great attitude, and professionalism. ”

"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."
