Booked by 35 families in Pittsburg, CA

Hello there! My name is Paloma and I have over 25 years of experience working with kids of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I truly love working with all ages in a variety of settings. I worked professionally as an elementary school garden teacher and outdoor educator for many years, and as a nanny for many years as well. I am also the eldest of six siblings, who now have children of their own, so childcare just comes naturally to me. What is most important for me about working with kids is providing a loving space for them to have creative fun and develop a sense of connection. I’m good at everything from imaginative play to homework time to dinner and bed time. I especially love to get outside with kids. Back on Urban Sitter after some years away, always nice to help out here!

Paloma took great care of our 7 mo old daughter, and was prompt, responsive and thoughtful. We’d work with her again!

Hi! My name is Bianca and I am from the Bay Area! I have babysat and nannied for kids of all ages including newborns (this includes newborn feeding time, newborn dishes, breastmilk and formula experience, putting down for naps, regulating sleep schedules, taking for walks, etc.). I have also helped mentor many kids between the ages of 3 and 16. I am CPR certified (currently working on getting that renewed), own a car, and play the piano by ear. I'm a photographer and I also love ceramics and the chemistry behind making my own glazes! I really love math and the sciences too. I have some knowledge regarding children’s psychology that I acquired in my studies for my bachelor’s degree. I am working towards going back to school for my masters/PhD in psychology as well. I am an ex student-athlete of 17 years, and still love to be active. I love to cook, and of course I love the company and brilliant minds of kids! I speak a bit of Spanish, however it's been a while since I have spoken it regularly so I’m a bit rusty/mainly good with basics. I’m also learning Japanese, and I know a very small amount of ASL. I love animals (I have 2 cats), and I love dogs and dog-sit occasionally. I would love to meet you!!

Hi there, I’m Kaelyn! After taking a break from UrbanSitter to work with families independently, I’m excited to reconnect with this amazing community. I’ve lived in San Francisco since 2017 and earned my B.S. in Molecular Biology from the University of San Francisco in December 2020. Now, I work full-time as a Program Manager in the biotech industry (specifically the research side of molecular diagnostics) I’ve been babysitting since I was 2011, starting with family friends’ children & gaining experience throughout HS, College, and Post Grad with a wide variety of ages & number of children, experience with 3mo–12 yrs and 1-3 children. As well over the years, I’ve gained extensive childcare experience, including five summers as a camp counselor at Rawhide Ranch, a Western horse camp in San Diego. As a counselor for 5-12 children a week, between children 7-15. There, I assisted with meals, cabin life, teaching classes, and creating a fun, positive environment for campers. In 2019, I worked as an Au Pair in Madrid, caring for two wonderful girls (ages 8 and 11). I loved teaching them English and forming a lasting bond with their family. Childcare has always been a passion of mine. Whether babysitting or tutoring in science and math, I enjoy engaging with kids through games, songs, and creative activities. Growing up in San Diego as a Disney enthusiast, I still love a good Disney movie night to unwind after a fun-filled day. Looking forward to connecting with your family soon!

Response will be in 1 hour thanks I am available on a limited basis please send me a DM, thank you! Extensive experience as a nanny Educator / Scholar ( currently attending) Parent (2 college kids) Currently holding all five star reviews from past and present clients through this platform. As a nanny I’m passionate about helping parents build up great kids. I’m currently taking online classes and will continue toward completion of my degree in Early Childhood Development and Psychology. I homeschooled both of my children until 1st grade ( both are college) Homeschooling is about planning, strategy and creativity. I consider myself a career nanny. I have 10+ years, of professional experience. In the last four years, I have regained experience in newborn , infants and toddlers ( this includes working with siblings and of nanny share as well ) my calm, nurturing manner is reassuring to babies , children and parents alike. I feel that to be a a great nanny , you must have it in your heart . The character traits of patience, kindness, boundaries, empathy, compassion, calmness, acceptance, positive reinforcement, creativity, playfulness are all part of who I am. I am specialized in the areas of sleep training, routine establishment, developmental play and excellent soothing techniques. I also am very skilled in making baby food from scratch for high nutrition and health. I accept per diem work with toddlers / school age children and focus on teaching them breath work to calm themselves ( if an emotional outburst occurs) It is very common as they have many feelings and don’t always know what words to use to express it , this includes self regulation and choices including Baby Signing which encourages them to communicate well and become verbal communicators earlier. I have many other specialized skills to offer. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking reading, dancing ( with my husband) sports like tennis, swimming, pickle ball, fast walking, and yoga for fitness. I believe that the secret to a happy life comes from having a deeply grateful heart.
