Booked by 1 family in Santa Clara, CA

Rate is negotiable depending on the situation and hours. B.S. Graduate of Penn State University at University Park I’m a responsible, detail-oriented business owner and mother to adult children who understands the importance of trust, consistency, and care. For the past thirteen years, I’ve managed my own home and property, overseeing landscaping, pool service, household maintenance, and coordinating licensed service providers. I’m highly organized, calm under pressure, and proactive about communication. I love children and animals and am attentive to routines, feeding schedules, walks, medication needs, and companionship. I’m also happy to take children out for walks and to neighborhood playgrounds or the library when appropriate, helping them stay active, curious, and engaged throughout the day. I understand how important it is for families to feel secure while they’re away—your home will be kept clean, orderly, and respected. Friends describe me as dependable, nurturing, and solution-oriented. Whether caring for children (furry and non), checking mail, watering plants, or managing household tasks, I approach every role with integrity, warmth, and professionalism.

Booked by 2 families in Santa Clara, CA

I am looking for a full time position as soon as I find a family. I am currently with my full time family but one parent is going to take over since they have the time off work, but they are keeping me until I find the right fit. I have worked with children for over 15 years. I have taught English in Japan and taught animation in Los Angeles. I have worked as a nanny for many years and have recent newborn and toddler experience. In my last job I was a nanny for two children on the spectrum, I helped also take care of their father who had Parkinson’s Disease. I love children and helping people. I am great as a sitter/nanny for any family, because of my experience working with lots of diverse families of many beautiful cultures. I am very respectful, kind, and I have a lot of knowledge in child development and nutrition. I love going on adventures or just staying home cooking and painting. I would love to send you my current resume and references including my current family as a reference as well. I hope to hear back if interested! 😊 Happy Nanny Hunting!

"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."
