My name is Fernanda, and I am from Colombia. I am university trained and licensed as a teacher in Colombia where I taught children ages 4 years to 14 years old. I am fluent in English and Spanish and for the past 2 years have been employed as a nanny caring for children ages 6 months to 3 years old. I am a very patient, responsible, and dependable person who is about promoting the well-being and overall development of children.
“Maria (she goes by Fernanda) was great with my two year old. She got here right as I was in the middle of my daughter having just had an accident. Fernanda took over and handled it without complaint and helped change her. My toddler warmed up to her immediately and Fernanda took great care of her. Would definitely have her back!”
Hi! I'm a reliable and caring mom based in the East Bay who is available from Friday evening to Sunday evening for babysitting, date nights, weekend care, and overnight infant care. As a parent myself, I have firsthand experience caring for newborns and young children, including feeding, soothing, diaper changes, bedtime routines, and creating a safe, nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable while their parents are away and I understand how valuable it is for parents to have someone trustworthy caring for their children too. I an CPR and First Aid certified, including infant CPR. My availability is primarily Friday evenings, Saturdays, and Sundays, with overnight availability. I also have lifelong experience caring for dogs and cats and am happy to help with pet care if needed while you're away. My goal is to provide families with dependable care and peace of mind. I look forward to connecting with your family!
“I highly recommend Simone as a caregiver. I have worked with Simone for the past year, and what I've consistently seen in her is her kindness and passion for bringing brightness to other people's days. She is raising a wonderful child and is excellent at helping others grow and develop into amazing human beings. She is thoughtful, dependable, and trustworthy. All families would be extremely fortunate to work with her.”
I have professional experience caring for babies and young children, with 5+ years of childcare experience, including nannying and family support. I’m comfortable with daily routines, meals, play, naps, school drop-offs and pickups, and creating a safe, warm, and engaging environment for children. I also have experience helping families with light housekeeping and home organization, as well as pet care. I’m reliable, caring, organized, and attentive to the needs of both children and the household. Thank you, Bruna
“Very detail oriented and caring. Will definitely work together again.”
Hello! My name is Adriana, I was born and raised in the Bay Area. I’m currently a student at chabot college. I have my associates in biological science and plan on going to nursing school in the future. I’ve had many years of experience with children and have worked with many different families. I have reliable transportation and I am comfortable driving in my own car or others. I have my Covid vaccine with booster. I don’t have much experience on UrbanSitter but I’ve had plenty of experience outside of it. If you have any questions please feel free to write a message! 😊
Hi my name is Breanna, I am looking for a nanny share position. I currently have a almost 2 year old and am looking to bring her along with me. She’s very easy going and independent and loves going on walks along with other activities! I have been working with children for several years; caring for a newborn and triplets were two of my first babysitting jobs. Along with having worked with kids of all ages and having three younger siblings, I am CPR and first aid certified. I love children and love being a mother and am excited to find the right family for us!

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
