Hi! I go by Karla nice to meet you, and thank you for reaching out! I’ve been caring for children since I was a teenager and bring over 8 years of professional nanny experience. I’ve worked with children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers, and feel confident adapting to each stage of development. My goal is always to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel supported and encouraged to grow. I love staying active and enjoy planning fun outings to museums, zoos, libraries, and parks. At home, I enjoy doing arts and crafts, reading, playing board games, and participating in sports and creative activities that spark imagination and learning. I believe in balancing fun with structure, helping children build positive routines while still having plenty of opportunities to explore and be themselves. I truly enjoy making families’ lives easier whenever I can. Caring for others is something I’m passionate about, and I take pride in being dependable, patient, and proactive. My focus is always on creating a warm, supportive space where children can thrive and parents can feel confident and at ease. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to assist with light household organization, errands, scheduling appointments, and general house assistant tasks when needed. I’m also available for occasional date nights, last-minute care, weekends, and overnight support. My strengths include strong communication skills, time management, creative planning, problem-solving, and staying calm in emergency situations. I’m proactive, patient, and always attentive to children’s needs. I truly enjoy making families’ lives easier whenever I can. Caring for others is something I’m deeply passionate about, and I take pride in building trusting relationships with both children and parents. My goal is always to provide a supportive, loving environment where children can thrive and families feel at ease.

Over the years, I have worked for two different families as a nanny. I worked with one family exclusively for nearly seven years. I watched the child grow from 9 months old to 7 years of age. It was an incredibly rewarding position for me. We will always have a special bond. I also have experience with senior care. I was the sole caregiver for my own grandmother after she was diagnosed with dementia. I currently look after my elderly mother. I love dogs. I have two of my own. I take great pride in how I care for them. They are senior dogs, but still healthy and active as can be. My strengths are my compassion, empathy, patience, and attention to detail. I have a passion for helping others.

Hello Santa Clara Families Caring for seniors isn't easy. Often, they are more fragile than they realize themselves. I worked as a Personal Care Assistant for eights years in assisted living and private homes. I do transfers, daily hygiene, housekeeping, and cooking. I'm not afraid of work and would rather get it done and then sit and chat. I'm a good listener. I'm sort of a fuddy-duddy home type and I like to make things look nice. I would like a situation where my caregiving means something good for someone. Please let me know how I may help.

My mom is the youngest of 10 kids so I grew up always babysitting all my little cousins. That love for childcare developed into working at an elementary school in my senior year of high school and now babysitting as much as I can in my senior year of college at Santa Clara University. I'm good with kids, I'm pretty flexible with scheduling, and I am a great role model and positive influence for all age groups- including my 4 year old brother Ashton :) I am highly capable of any job you can throw at me and I am eager to work! Some fun facts: - I love animals - I paint watercolor - I got all A's last term If you would like to reach me for an interview, please call or text me anytime at: 917 (then) 627 (then) 7627 and I will answer or get back to you as soon as possible. All the best, Nash :)

"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."
