Margarita $35 per hour for 1 child
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!

Kendall 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Santa Clara, CA

Hello! My name is Kendall, and I have over 10 years of caregiving experience working with youth, seniors, individuals with special needs, and pets. I’m CPR-certified and offer a flexible schedule, with availability for last-minute requests. I recently returned to UrbanSitter after taking time away for family matters and am excited to connect with new families. I’m an animal lover who enjoys biking, longboarding, swimming, and football, and I can be a bit of a gaming and movie nerd at times. I like to stay youthful at heart while maintaining structure and consistency in the care I provide.

“Kendall was an outstanding babysitter! Our 5-year-old instantly warmed up to him, and they had a fantastic time together. Kendall was reliable, punctual, and incredibly engaging, making every moment fun and enjoyable. His connection with our child was evident through the games, and activities they shared. We felt completely at ease knowing our child was in such capable hands. We highly recommend Kendall to any parent looking for a dependable and caring babysitter!”

"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."
