Loving and Calm Childcare Provider | Experienced Nanny & Mom Hi, my name is Nceba. I was born and raised in South Africa and have worked as a professional childcare provider in the Bay Area since 2019. I’m also a proud wife and mom to a sweet toddler, which has given me an even deeper understanding of child development and the day-to-day needs of babies and young children. I trained at the Au Pair Training School in New York through Cultural Care, where I learned how to support children through different developmental stages. With nearly a decade of childcare experience, I especially enjoy caring for infants and toddlers ages 6–24 months. As a mother, I also bring first-hand experience with newborn care and toddler milestones. Experience Highlights: * Former live-in au pair for two children, ages 5 and 7 * More than six years of professional nanny experience with Bay Area families * Older sister to five siblings, giving me years of natural, hands-on childcare experience * Mom to a toddler, with real-life experience from the newborn stage through toddlerhood What I Offer: I enjoy creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. Depending on their age, our days may include reading, singing, sensory play, baby or toddler massage, outdoor walks, creative activities, and early learning through play. For long-term positions, I’m also happy to help with child-related chores such as preparing children’s meals, organizing their belongings, doing their laundry, and keeping their play and eating areas tidy. About Me: Families describe me as calm, patient, dependable, and nurturing. Outside of childcare, I enjoy art and visiting museums. I speak English fluently, as well as Zulu, Xhosa, and Afrikaans. I currently freelance remotely and also work occasionally with a wonderful family who allows me to bring my toddler. This arrangement has worked beautifully for everyone and has created a great partnership between our families. Although I’m not actively seeking just any position, I’m always eager to help when I meet a wonderful family and we feel like a genuinely great match. My long-term goal is to become a postpartum doula so I can provide compassionate, knowledgeable support to both mothers and babies during the early stages of life.

“Nonceba is awesome! My kids loved her and the baby. I think they have a new favorite sitter now. Thanks for the help, and the kids can't wait until you come back again!”

Booked by 6 families in Union City, CA

Hi Parents, I’m Sofia! I’m offering childcare, pet sitting, light household chores, etc. I am bilingual in English and Tagalog but also speak some Spanish. One thing about me is that I’ve always loved playing and being around kids since I was a teen. I’ve learned a lot about being patient with them, and I think that’s one of the most important things as a nanny. My experience in babysitting has included working with ages newborn-10 years! I am currently working with 17 month old twins and love it! I met them when they were 2 months old so I have lots of experience with babies! I’ve been babysitting for almost 6 years now. I’ve worked both full time and part time with a few families all ranging from 1-4 kids at a time. I am also willing to work occasional date nights, or if you just simply need someone to cover for a day. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school and after school sports/activities, light home schooling, crafts, keeping kids active (walks, hikes, adventures.) changing diapers, feeding lunch and snacks, meal prepping and just making sure they are good throughout the day. I have worked with families outside of UrbanSitter but have also met some amazing families from this community. I understand that working with kids requires a lot of patience and I believe I have abundance of it. The parents I have worked with would say I work well under pressure and really good at staying calm when things get chaotic. I truly love being around kids! At family gatherings, you’ll always find me playing with the kids and keeping them entertained. I am also more than willing to help tackle any household chores, grocery shopping, and errands you may not have had time for. I will always find something to do (when kids are napping, or not around). I’d love to make things easier for your family and help in anyway I can! I’m easy going, and very understanding. I will absolutely treat and love your kids like they are my own because I know it’s tough to trust a stranger - I will be nothing but a great help and addition to your family. :) Another bonus is I don’t mind being around dogs and cats, I love fur babies as well, and would be willing so pet sit for you. I can provide you other references if needed outside of the ones that are on my profile. Please free to reach out if you think it will be a good fit and I would love to schedule a time to chat with you :)

Hi, my name is Jiwanjot but I go by Bubbles. I’m currently a student at SF State majoring in Nursing but I commute from Fremont. I also stay in SF some days so I’m able to provide care there as well. My experience includes helping care for my four younger cousins for about 2-3 years very frequently during the pandemic. Their ages ranged from about 2-7 at the time, but I have cared for them in the infant stages as well. I’ve done things such as preparing meals, tidying the house, changing diapers, and helping with schoolwork. I’m willing to help with any other things needed around the house as well. I’ve enjoyed spending time with kids of all ages and found that I get along with them incredibly well!

“It was a great experience with Jiwanjot. She helped my friend out in a last minute pinch after a sitter cancelled on her for a school pick up when she was already at work. She responded very quickly and followed all instructions to a tee. She was very nice, my nephew said he really enjoyed his time with her. Thank you Jiwanjot! ”

Hi! My name is Maricela. I’ve babysat children of all ages, helped care for my younger siblings and cousins, and worked as a Recreational Leader for an after-school program for elementary students.

Fully vaccinated (Pfizer) 25 years old, bilingual (Spanish, English) female. I am a therapist for kids with autism during the day as well as a nanny. I am CPR certified, covid vaccinated(with booster!) and have worked with many children from the ages of 17 and younger. I worked for the Hayward Unified School District with children from ages of 3-14 in a classroom setting. I am energetic, fun and loving.

“Berenize watched my son for an hour every weekday morning for 6 months and then took him to daycare. She was punctual and very responsible. She also took initiative and did light cleaning without me asking. I couldn’t recommend her higher. We have since moved, but would happily hire her again.”

"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."
