Margaret 2 reviews
$26 per hour for 1 child

i was born in San francisco and have lived most of my life in the Bay Area. i have been a nanny for 16 years and can’t think of doing anything else. the first part of my nanny career was with specific families. although after covid i started working with Care.com as a temporary nanny. the ages range from 6 mos to teenage years. i love doing projects with my kids from puzzles to baking cookies. i’m easy going and kid’s generally gravitate towards me

“Margaret is absolutely amazing. We have welcomed Margaret over 15x into our home to watch our daughter. She did such a great job engaging with our toddler, often we’d come home to find them together reading on the floor together or playing with toys. Margaret is extremely professional and we never had any issues. It is great to have someone reliable that we trust in our home. Our daughter is always excited to see Margaret!”

Mayara $40 per hour for 1 child

I have several years of experience working with children in different roles and age groups. I worked as an au pair for over two years in the United States and also have experience as a nanny and teacher. I earned my Early Childhood Education Associate Teacher Certificate, which strengthened my knowledge of child development and age-appropriate learning and care. I also have experience working with children with special needs and understand the importance of patience, flexibility, and adapting my approach to each child’s individual needs. My teaching background has helped me create engaging activities that encourage learning, independence, creativity, and confidence. I truly enjoy working with children and building strong, trusting relationships with both them and their families. My goal is always to provide a safe, caring, positive, and fun environment where children feel supported and valued.

Booked by 1 family in Walnut Creek, CA

Working with children has always been one of my greatest passions. With more than 8 years of experience in teaching, childcare, and educational support, I have had the opportunity to work with children of different ages and backgrounds. I truly enjoy creating a safe, loving, fun, and nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, express themselves, and feel confident every day. My background in education and childcare has helped me develop strong communication skills, patience, creativity, and a deep understanding of children’s emotional and educational needs. I love supporting each child’s development through positive guidance, engaging activities, and meaningful connections. I am looking for a warm, respectful, and family-oriented position where I can continue caring for and supporting children with love, responsibility, creativity, and dedication.

Karen $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Walnut Creek, CA

Hi. My name is Karen Castiblanco. I’m 28yo. I am starting Early Childhood Education classes next fall. I’m originally a from Colombia. Fluent in Spanish and English. And I am offering child care since I really enjoy working with kids. I firmly believe I have a special connection with them. Right now I am looking for a full time position (8am-4pm or 9am-5pm). I will be available to start as soon as now since the lovely boy I was taking care of right now will be starting full time at school. A little bit about me: I consider myself to be attentive, patient, understanding, respectful and empathetic. I believe my personality matches very well with this job since I am also considerate, responsible, consistent and very supportive. This is what I decided to be my job because I genuinely enjoy doing it and take it very seriously. I take care of them as they were my own. My fascination for taking care of children started when I was 17. When I fell in love with my niece and then 3 years later with her sister. I’ve been part of their lives and I’ve seen them grow since day one (literally). And honestly, I’ve always been surrounded by children. Their spontaneity, huge imagination and creativity amazes me every time. It’s incredible seeing them develop and grow while you’re guiding them and learning with and from them. My goal is providing a safe and enjoyable environment for the children and keeping them active during the day. Since I started working as a nanny, I’ve mostly taken care of kids between the ages of 9 months to 10 years old, but I’m able to take care of younger and older children as well. I used to help at a daycare during my high school years as well as I volunteered on Sundays for my local church. I was also an Aupair for two years. Something I truly enjoy doing is sharing my language with the kids I’m taking care of (if parents are okay with it of course) I’m not a teacher (yet) but it makes me really happy when I can share some of my knowledge with them, it’s very fruitful and gratifying. • Strong driver • CPR certified • 7+ years of experience • Fully vaccinated • Pet friendly • Have my own car • Responsible, patient, adaptable, flexible and genuinely love working with kids. I’ll be more than happy to provide you with references as well. If you are interested please don’t hesitate to reach me out. Looking forward to talking to you soon!

"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."
