Diana $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Diana. I have been a professional nanny for 15 plus years and have experience with newborns through preteen age. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and can speak them both fluently. I love to read, be outdoors, do crafts, have dance parties, and just be silly. Working with kids is a passion of mine from a very young age. Communicating with the needs of children is my priority, amongst other things. I adapt well to most parenting styles, and creating a nurturing supportive bond with the children as well as the parents is always my goal. I always strive to go above and beyond for families to maximize their one on one time with the children and daily household responsibilities. My current availability is 8:45-2pm depending on proximity, except Wednesdays where I am not available. Look forward to meeting all the wonderful families. Warmly, Diana

Hi! I'm Kethlen. I'm originally from Brazil and moved to San Francisco in 2019 to work as an au pair. Since then, I've been working as a nanny and family assistant for families throughout the Bay Area. For the past four years, I've worked as a Family Assistant with families in Marin County, helping with childcare, school pick-ups, household organization, errands, meal prep, and keeping busy households running smoothly. I'm currently a student at College of Marin, so I'm looking for part-time and occasional babysitting or family assistant opportunities that fit around my class schedule. I'm reliable, organized, patient, and genuinely enjoy working with children and supporting families. I'd love to connect if you're looking for someone dependable who can jump in when you need an extra hand!

Booked by 137 families in Petaluma, CA

Hello! I’m Nicole and I am a part-time student, trying to finish my undergraduate studies at SSU after a long sabbatical! I am also a first time mom to a wonderful 4 mo son ♥️ I enjoy exploring new places, trying out new restaurants and foods, walking with my dog outdoors, exercising, reading and attending concerts with friends. My experience working with children has taught me so much and transformed me into the person I am today. I became an alert listener, a wise decision maker, a patient advisor, a smarter supervisor, a fun-loving and creative adult, a generous and open-minded caregiver, and most importantly a loyal and loving friend to the kids I work with. This has been an invaluable experience and will surely help me in my endeavors for the future :) ***PLEASE READ BELOW*** On a side note: it is crucial for me to let parents and families know that my rates are subjective to distance as well as the major holidays. Any questions or concerns please privately message me. - Jobs within 20 minutes or less from my location will only be charged my minimum rate - I would also like to point out my minimum of 4 hr bookings. I may make exceptions, please message me. - My cancellation policy is notification up until 24 hours prior to booking; anything later, I request 50% of the expected rate agreed upon. Less than 12 hours, it would be 100% of the expected rate. Thank you so much for your understanding!

Booked by 3 families in Petaluma, CA

Hi! I’m Odalis, a Nursing major at Santa Rosa Junior College with a genuine love for caring for kids. I enjoy singing, dancing, spending time with my dog, going to church, and being with the people I love. Babysitting is truly an art to me — one that takes patience, creativity, and heart. I’m known for being patient, reliable, and loving, and I always aim to bring comfort, joy, and calm to every child I care for. I’ve cared for children of all ages, from infants to older kids, including multiple children at once. My experience includes school pick-ups and drop-offs, practices, games, homework help, meal prep, light cleaning, and full routines — from fun activities to bedtime. I’m also comfortable with infant care, including feedings, stroller walks, reading, naps, and soothing nighttime routines. I’m dog-friendly and happy working with both small and big dogs! I look forward to providing reliable, loving care and creating a joyful, safe, and nurturing environment for your little one(s).

"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."
