Nicolle Andrea $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Nicolle, and I’m originally from Colombia. I’m fluent in English, Spanish, and French, and I have many years of childcare experience, from newborns to teenagers. I have worked in a daycare and cared for twins, triplets, and families in Switzerland and throughout the Bay Area. My office recently closed, and I am now a full-time mom to my 3-month-old daughter. I’m currently looking for a nanny share-style arrangement or a family comfortable with me bringing my daughter along. I especially love working on early childhood stimulation and creating age-appropriate activities that support children’s development. I also enjoy exploring new places with little ones, including parks, libraries, museums, and story times. I love keeping our days active, engaging, and fun while respecting each child’s routine and needs. I’m caring, responsible, organized, and very comfortable with infants and young children. I’d love to find a family where our little ones can grow, learn, and explore together. Feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to answer any questions!

Hello, my name is Jessica. I have over three years of experience caring foggr children of various ages. I am a patient, dependable, and nurturing person who genuinely enjoys helping children learn, grow, and feel supported in their daily lives. I have experience working with private families and in a school setting too, where I worked with children from TK through 6th grade. As a teaching assistant, I helped support children’s learning, encouraged positive behavior, and assisted with age-appropriate educational activities. These experiences have strengthened my ability to create a safe, structured, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and encouraged to develop their skills. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to communicate with and support families from different backgrounds. I am happy to assist with meal preparation, homework, creative activities, playtime, and daily routines for the kid . I have CPR and First Aid certified and always prioritize creating a safe and nurturing environment.I look forward to building a meaningful connection with your family and helping your little ones learn, grow, and thrive.

"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."
