[no availability] Hello Families, My name is Lia, and I’m a 31 year-old childcare professional living in San Jose with my husband, two hamsters and a Dalmatian dog. I used to work as full time nanny and then during the week as an early childhood afterschool instructor for the past 3 years but I transitioned back to child caregiving recently. I’m passionate about supporting children’s growth and development, with over 10 years of experience caring for kids of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. Why Families Choose Me: -Over 10 years of childcare experience, including newborns, infants, toddlers, and pre-teens. -5+ years of experience in the U.S., with a focus on nannying, teaching and occasional babysitting. -Master’s in Early Childhood Education. -First Aid, CPR and Mandate Reporter certified with annual update training. -Fluent in Portuguese and English, with conversational Spanish. -Comfortable with swimming pools, pets and providing light housekeeping (vacuuming, laundry, simple meal prep). -Experience with exceptional needs in both home and classroom settings. A Little More About Me: -Newborn Care Specialist certificate (but I rarely take care of newborns since I also work with school aged kids and need to be mindful of illnesses). -Fully vaccinated (COVID, flu, Tdap and others), boosted, and happy to wear a mask as needed. -I do not drive children, but am happy to assist with local activities and walking distance school pickups if needed. -I bring a nurturing, creative approach to caregiving and enjoy helping kids learn through play and exploration. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and help your children thrive. I look forward to connecting with you soon! Thank you for considering me. Best, Lia

Hey, my name is Elia and I’m offering child care services. My current job consists of being a waiter but I want to look for something else, I used to work for a company from the san mateo county caring for adults for about 2 years. The company’s name is IHSS. Since I used to care for kids when I was younger ( taking them to school, babysitting) and raised some of my own this seems like a great opportunity for me. I’m bilingual as I speak both Spanish and English and I would be more than happy to teach your children Spanish when caring for them. I’m a mother of two. Two boys, one 17 and the other one is 7 and I would say i have a pretty good experience with kids. Caring for children is not only something I’m good at but I also enjoy it! I can clean, and run errands when needed. I’m also okay with taking care of pets.

Booked by 89 families in Sunnyvale, CA

Hi! I’m Mariana, a warm, caring, and reliable nanny with 9+ years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, children and teens. I love helping families feel supported and at ease, and I enjoy creating a joyful, nurturing environment where children can learn, explore, and express themselves through arts and crafts, singing, dancing, storytelling, outdoor play, and age-appropriate learning moments. I’ve worked as a nanny in the U.S. for almost 8 years in both home and daycare settings, supporting daily routines, meals and hygiene, learning activities, and safe, engaging play. Families describe me as patient, dependable, flexible, and easygoing and I truly see working with children as a gift that fills my life with curiosity, kindness, and joy. Thanks for reading my profile. I look forward to meeting your family and helping your children grow, learn, and feel loved in a safe, happy environment! 💛

“We had a wonderful experience with her! She was warm, kind, and gentle with our baby, and we really appreciated how proactive and attentive she was. She asked thoughtful questions about our preferences and how we usually care for our baby, while also being very receptive to following our routines and the way we like things done. She was easy to communicate with, and we felt very comfortable having her care for our baby. We would absolutely love to hire her again!”

Update on 09/28/2026 I work as a contractor currently, and am available for occasional or one-time requests at the moment. Please reach out with specific date & time, I should be able to give you a clear answer. Hello! My name is Soo. I have a passion for life of faith in Jesus, food and soccer. I have years of experiences working with children in different age groups in personal and professional settings as a babysitter, camp leader, after school program teacher, paraprofessional and substitute teacher/support school staff around the Bay Area in grades of TK to 5th. Working with children isn’t a smooth sailing but I actually really enjoy working with children, the cutie pies. I provide a place for your child to thrive in a play-based environment. I am not only present just for the sake of keeping a watch, but I strive to provide an environment and supervision where I foster and curate the day based children’s interests and minister to their emotional and educational growth as I learn to understand your child. Instead of harsh language and facial expressions, I seek connection through patience, understanding and empathy, knowing that they are still learning. I was crazy kid myself. As I grew older, I noticed how I was always surrounded by children, and I think I was a pretty popular playmate. I love many memories where we picked figs from the backyard, bake peach pies or just spend time in a competitive game of Tic Tac To, being this older sister I always wanted to have. I am an expert park-ranger and from the fancy skills of pushing two children on the swings, or making the greatest sand art, I make sure they have an awesome time with me. I’ve played collegiate level sports, and also have spent years to train as an artist. I am physically active with children. Parents have shown appreciation for the activities I‘ve provided, and I don’t leave work of cleaning up afterwards. I would love an opportunity to fill in as you step out to do what you need to do that day. They need good food, laughter and exercise. That is my priority. During our booking, I am not on the phone for personal use or entertainment. I use it as a tool to communicate or share updates with you. I am open to feedbacks and I appreciate transparency in our communication. If your child is SICK, please do let me know beforehand and be courteous. I’m looking forward to meeting with your family. It is a challenging time to raise children. Go mom & dad !!!

“Soo was able to come last minute to help with our son while his nanny was out sick, and immediately engaged with him and had a great day together, with lots of updates on how things were going and pics of their adventures. ”

Hello! My name is Vera. I live in Palo Alto and I have two grown, wonderful children. I immigrated from Ukraine 27 years ago and speak fluent Ukrainian and Russian. I am looking for a small part-time job and occasional babysitting gigs. I have years of babysitting experience ranging from all ages and I have several references available upon request. I am very friendly, dependable, creative, and punctual. I enjoy being active (doing anything outdoors), walking in the park, making arts and crafts, and spending time with my family. I am usually available at last notice as well, if needed. I made this account a couple of years ago and am just getting back to it after being away and working with different families. I have my own, reliable car and have no difficulties with transportation.

“Vera is wonderful. She quickly connected to my child and kept him engaged.”

"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."
