daniela $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! šŸ˜ƒšŸ‘‹šŸ¼ My name is Daniela, I am 33 years old and I currently work as a Pediatric Occupational Therapist with the Early Start program in San Andreas Regional Center. I have over 10 years of experience working with children from infancy through early childhood, supporting their development through play, routines, and nurturing care. My professional background has given me strong knowledge in child development, communication, emotional regulation, and age-appropriate activities. I truly enjoy creating a warm, safe, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable exploring, learning, and having fun. Throughout the years I have worked with families in different roles including nanny, developmental specialist, and early childhood caregiver. I understand the importance of trust, clear communication with parents, and respecting each family’s routines and values. Families often describe me as patient, attentive, responsible, and very intuitive with children’s needs. I am currently looking for occasional babysitting opportunities, especially on weekends. Whether you need a few hours for a date night, an event, or extra help during the weekend, I would be happy to support your family. My professional experience also allows me to incorporate meaningful play and activities that support children's development while keeping the environment relaxed and enjoyable. I speak Spanish, English, and Portuguese, and I am comfortable working with children of different ages and backgrounds. My goal is always to provide attentive care while helping children feel safe, happy, and engaged. Thank you for considering me. I look forward to connecting with your family! 🌈

Families describe me as kind, trustworthy, patient, and easy to communicate with. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your children, and I take that responsibility seriously.

Victoria $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Victoria. I am a retired and I have time to help busy families. I am offering child care, senior care and pet services. I have raised a daughter, whom is now an adult and on her own. I help babysit my grandbaby and I have three cats and two dogs of my own. I am able to help transport children to school or elderly to doctor's appointments. When my mother was living, I took care of her as she was disabled from a stroke. I took her to appointments as needed so I know how time consuming it can be. I am here to help.

$30 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Anaisa , and I am very interested in working as a nanny. I am a caring, responsible, and patient person who enjoys spending time with children and helping them grow in a safe and positive environment. I have a strong sense of responsibility and understand how important it is to create a space where children feel comfortable, supported, and happy. I enjoy engaging kids in fun and educational activities like reading, playing games, helping with homework, and encouraging creativity. I also take safety very seriously and always make sure children are supervised and well cared for. I am reliable, organized, and able to follow routines set by parents, while also being flexible when needed. I can assist with light household tasks related to the children, such as preparing simple meals, cleaning up after activities, and keeping their space tidy. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy building connections with children and being someone they can trust and feel comfortable around. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide the best care possible for your child. Thank you for your time and consideration.

ā€œAnaisa was a wonderful babysitter for my 3 kids. We all loved her and we all still stay in contact, the kids ask to call her all the time so we FaceTime with her on a regular basis. If she didn’t move to the Bah area I would still have her with my family.ā€

"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."
