Kati $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! I'm currently looking for a new family to join, as the family I'm currently working with just heard from their daycare. I'll be available to start in August, but I can be a little flexible to find the right family. I'm 25 years old and have been nannying for 5 years. I have experience with children from infants to tweens. I can also provide excellent references upon request. I live in Novato, but I'm open to finding a family anywhere in the Marin/Sonoma area. I have a driver's license and a reliable car and comfortable taking children to and from school, as well as taking their little ones to local activities or parks. I'm willing to help with housework, laundry, dishes, etc. I'm also available to babysit occasionally during the week, and I'm available on the weekends too! I'm CPR and First Aid certified. I'm up to date on all my vaccinations. I have experience sharing babysitting and working with multiple children at once. I'm also knowledgeable in sleep training and baby-led complementary feeding. I look forward to being part of your family! I’m looking for a full time! 🙂

Ashley $26 per hour for 1 child

I come from a big family with kids of all ages, including a baby sister, so caring for little ones has always been a natural part of my life. I’m comfortable with everything from playing games and doing crafts to homework help, dinner, and bedtime routines. Being around so many different personalities has made me patient, flexible, and really tuned in to what each child needs. I recently graduated from nursing school, which has strengthened my sense of responsibility and safety awareness, but at my core I’m very nurturing and hands-on. I stay calm under pressure, and I take the trust families place in me very seriously. Kids tend to warm up to me quickly because I’m playful and engaging, but I also know how to maintain structure and routines so parents feel comfortable. I’m happy to help with light cleaning, meal prep, organizing, and caring for pets as well. I’m dependable, communicative, and I genuinely care about creating a safe, positive environment where kids feel supported and have fun.

"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."
