Amanda 2 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hello:) I have more than 20 years of experience working as a childcare provider and/or family assistant. I’m college-educated, open-minded, and well-traveled. My expertise and joy are in caring for infants and toddlers. I’m First Aid and CPR trained and keep up with all needed vaccinations. I’m patient, kind, down-to-earth, a good communicator, and genuinely enjoy connecting with children. I value setting healthy boundaries with consistency and kindness. I believe in helping to cultivate and nourish a child’s natural curiosity and imagination, and I enjoy sharing my love of children’s literature, museums, cultural activities, and exploring the natural beauty of Marin County. Ideally, I would like to find a family in Marin who needed 30 to 40 hrs a week. I'm also open to temporary work while I'm looking for the right family. I have my own car. Excellent local references upon request. Please DM me if you’re interested. Thank you:)

“Amanda is an excellent, thoughtful, and deeply kind and caring nanny. We were so grateful to work with her. She is incredibly proactive in her care: she brought age appropriate books, integrated baby sign language, and suggested toys that help with age appropriate development. In short, she did everything a parent would want, showering our daughter with love, and really cared for our daughter like she was her own family.”

Booked by 2 families in San Rafael, CA

Hi! My name is Sunita. I bring years of experience working with children in both school and home settings. I’ve worked as a care assistant at Bright Horizons and other early childhood centers, and I love helping children learn, grow, and have fun. I’m also a mother to an adult son and understand how important it is to have someone kind, responsible, and patient looking after your kids. I’ve lived in different countries and bring a warm, multicultural perspective to my care. In addition to childcare, I enjoy cooking — especially homemade Indian dishes like chicken curry, coconut curry, biryani, and a variety of vegetarian meals. With the school break coming up, I’d be happy to help take your kids on fun outings — whether it's to the park, the movies, or other local activities. I’m reliable, caring, and always ready to help where I’m needed. I look forward to meeting your family!

Camila $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Camila, and I offer child care and household support services. I love working with children and have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids in a daycare setting. My responsibilities have included supervising meals and playtime, diaper changes, potty training support, preparing nap areas, helping with nap time routines, and keeping spaces clean and organized. I’m very comfortable supporting daily routines and creating a safe, structured, and caring environment for children. I enjoy doing arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, and fun learning activities that help kids stay engaged and creative. I can also help with homework support, basic tutoring, and maintaining routines. In addition to childcare, I can assist with household tasks such as light cleaning, organizing, dishes, laundry, and meal prep support. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and comfortable helping families stay organized and on track throughout the day. I have a background in medical assisting and have completed externships at Lifelong Medical Care Clinic and B12 Love Lounge, which strengthened my skills in safety, communication, and caregiving. I currently also work as a lead coach at The Practice Space, where I support communication, confidence-building, and responsibility. I’m comfortable working with pets and happy to help wherever I’m needed to support the family.

"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."
