Natalia $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’ve been an au pair/nanny since 2019. Over the past 6+ years I’ve cared for children from 3 months old to 14+ as a caregiver in Marin County. I’m comfortable with more than one kid and can provide references from my last family. I’m vaccinated (including TDAP for houses with newborns), have a clean driving record and background check, and I’m patient, reliable, and trustworthy. Please feel free to contact me for more information :)

Andréa $35 per hour for 1 child

I am an experienced and dedicated childcare professional with a strong background as both a nanny and a doula, specializing in newborns through early childhood (0–4 years). My work is rooted in attentive care, emotional awareness, and a deep respect for each child’s individual development. As a nanny, I provide structured, nurturing, and engaging environments where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to grow. I value routines, gentle communication, and age-appropriate stimulation, always adapting to the family’s parenting style and needs. My experience as a doula brings an additional layer of care, especially for newborns and postpartum families. I am highly familiar with infant care, sleep support, feeding routines, and helping parents navigate the early stages with confidence and calm. I naturally step in as a steady, reassuring presence during what can be a sensitive and transformative time. Families often describe me as intuitive, reliable, and deeply committed. I take pride in building trust not only with children but also with parents, creating a supportive and respectful partnership. I am currently available for a consistent weekday nanny position (Monday through Friday, daytime hours), and I am also open to occasional Saturday support as needed. I am passionate about providing high-quality care that goes beyond supervision — focusing on emotional security, healthy development, and a peaceful daily rhythm for both child and 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."

"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."
