Pattara $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is May. I have over 7 years of experience as a live-in nanny and au pair, caring for children from infants to school age. I truly enjoy supporting kids through every stage of growth — from diapering and potty training to homework help and after-school activities. Over the years, I’ve cared for newborns, toddlers, and school-aged kids (up to 4 at once!) and have helped families with everything from school drop-offs to bedtime routines. I love keeping children engaged with creative play, reading, outdoor activities, and structured routines that make them feel secure. In addition to childcare, I also provide household support including meal preparation, laundry, light housekeeping, organization, and managing busy family schedules. Safety is always a priority — I’m CPR and First Aid certified, fully vaccinated, and I have a clean driving record. Families describe me as reliable, patient, and caring. I take pride in creating a safe, loving environment where children thrive and parents feel supported.

Maria $40 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Maria,and I’m excited to be a new member of UrbanSitter! I work at an orthodontic office during the week, where I have the joy of connecting with children of all ages and helping them feel comfortable and cared for. As a mom to my wonderful six-year-old daughter, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your child. I bring that same level of care, patience, and attentiveness to every family I work with. We also have a sweet Norwich Terrier named Giuseppe, so I’m very comfortable around pets too! I look forward to getting to know your family!

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 37 families in Millbrae, CA

Hello! I graduated from San Francisco State University with a BA in Child and Adolescent Development. I have my Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education, which adds to my knowledge of children. I currently work for a public school district where I work with children that have special needs. Prior to that, I was a teacher at a private school. I have worked with a variety of ages, but primarily with 3-4 year olds for 5 years. I have worked as a nanny for two children for 5 years, while also babysitting for many years before this. When babysitting, I primarily have worked with school aged children, K-6th grade. I have had some experience with infant children under the age of 1 for about four years. I hope that I can be of assistance to you and your family. Thank you!
