Gabriela $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Port Costa, CA
Hi Families! My name is Gaby, and I’m currently offering occasional nanny/babysitting and mother’s helper support for families who need reliable, experienced extra hands. I am a stay-at-home mom and a professional nanny with over 8 years of dedicated childcare experience, specializing in infants and toddlers. Caring for children has always been a true passion of mine, and I’ve had the privilege of building long-term relationships with families who value consistency, trust, and quality care. My caregiving style is Montessori-inspired, with a strong focus on independence, creativity, and emotional security. I prioritize little to no screen time and believe in hands-on, engaging activities that support motor development, language growth, and confidence-building. Our time together often includes sensory play, music, outdoor exploration, practical life skills, and age-appropriate learning experiences. As a mom myself, I deeply understand how important it is to feel fully comfortable with the person caring for your child. I strive to create a calm, nurturing, and structured environment where children feel safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. I am currently available for occasional care, date nights, backup care, and mother’s helper support. I work independently and am committed to providing focused, attentive care tailored to your family’s needs. I look forward to connecting and learning how I can support your family’s needs. Warmly, Gaby

April $28 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is April and I am currently nursing student at Nightingale College! In addition, I have experience with child development education from Sacramento State University. My love for children has grown exponentially as I learned to care for my cousin with a cleft lip and palate condition since she was an infant. She has taught me the importance of patience and understanding through passionate child care. Overall, I would love to have the opportunity to work with your child, as I aspire to become a NICU nurse one day. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns. Thank you for considering me to become your child's nanny!

"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."
