My name is Melissa and I live in San Carlos. I have been a nanny to a family with a toddler and kindergartener for 6 years and worked with children for 5 years as a preschool teacher and babysitter before that. (So over a decade of experience!) I have a degree in Early Childhood Education. I am also Infant/Child CPR certified. I speak English and Tagalog fluently (and also, a bit of baby sign language). I have a passion for reading and know quite alot about children's literature. I also love music and can play (and teach) the piano. Also, I am very active and enjoy hiking, bouldering, and yoga.

“Our 2 year old warmed up to Melissa within minutes and was playing with her soon after! She is definitely great with kiddos and has that magic touch where they trust her quickly. Will def be rebooking!”

"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."
