Booked by 3 families in Sonoma, CA

Former nanny turned mom! I’m a mom to a four-year-old daughter, and after more than a decade working in tech, I’m excited to return to a hands-on, human-centered role that feels meaningful to me. I worked as a nanny during and shortly after college, an experience that paired naturally with my degree in Psychology and Social Behavior from UC Irvine. I’m familiar with a variety of parenting approaches and believe in tailoring my care to each family’s preferences, values, and routines. I prioritize safety (emotional & physical), open communication, and sound judgment, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your children. Having been on both sides—as a nanny and as a parent who has employed a nanny—I appreciate the responsibility and trust that come with this relationship. I’m currently re-certifying in CPR (planned completion date September 22, 2026) along with the Sage Haus House Manager Certification (planned completion September 25, 2026). Outside of parenting, I love swimming, singing, art, and finding a great cup of coffee. I’d love to learn more about your family and see if we might be a good fit!

Hi, my name is Emily! I am a freshman in college majoring in Nursing, and I have a genuine passion for working with children. I have experience caring for children ages 1–5, including babysitting a 10-month-old, and I’ve also volunteered at a preschool for the past year. I’m a patient, caring, and responsible person who loves spending time with kids, playing with them, and creating a fun and comfortable environment. I would love the opportunity to help care for your little ones and become someone your family can trust.

"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."
