Hi! I’m Paola 😊 I have a strong background in early childhood education, CPR certification, and over 8 years of hands on experience caring for children of different ages 💕 Parents describe me as responsible, patient, and trustworthy.

Booked by 1 family in San Rafael, CA

Hi families! I’m Izabelly, a caring and reliable caregiver with 3+ years of experience, with a strong focus on infants and toddlers (3 months and up). I’ve worked in daycare settings and as a nanny, providing attentive, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate care in safe and loving environments. I’m very experienced with daily routines for younger children, including feeding, diaper changes, nap schedules, potty training support, and engaging activities that support early learning and motor development. I also have experience with preschool and school-age children and can easily adapt to different ages and family routines. I’m happy to assist with light housekeeping related to the children, meal prep, homework support, and school or activity drop-offs and pick-ups. I’m a non-smoker, Pediatric CPR/First Aid certified, have a valid driver’s license, a reliable car, and a recommendation letter available. Whether you’re looking for full-time, part-time, or occasional care, I’d love to support your family. Feel free to reach out! 💛

Hello, My name is Leslie and I am new to Urban Sitters but from the East Bay, Moraga and now living in Terra Linda. I have many years of experience with infants, toddlers, children and the elderly. I am a very compassionate, calm and loving caregiver. I have experience driving children too and from school, after school activities and attending doctor appointments. I also have experience driving, elderly persons to doctor visits, out to lunch and to family gatherings. I have adult and infant CPR and life-saving certificates. I was a certified nurse assistant at an early age then graduated from Cal Polly, SLO. I have children of my own who are now successful adults. I have cared for families that included cooking meals, clean up, light laundry, and caring for animals. If you’re looking for a caring, loving and reliable Nanny/sitter please let me know. Thank you, Leslie

"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."
