“I’m happy to recommend Rakshya as a nanny. She has been wonderful with our child and brought such a calm, positive energy into our home. Rakshya spent time reading books, which our child really enjoyed, and it helped encourage learning and imagination. She is very patient—never annoyed, always smiling, and she speaks so politely and kindly. Our child felt comfortable and happy around her. We never asked her to do any specific things but she did everything on her own. She was also always on time and very reliable, which made things much easier for us as parents. One time, my husband didn’t wake up when she arrived, and instead of leaving, she patiently waited for 45 minutes. That really showed her dedication and responsibility. We always knew we could count on her, and we truly appreciated her caring nature. I would definitely recommend Rakshya to any family looking for a caring, dependable, and gentle nanny.”
Hi! I’m Daniela, I’m 30 years old and I’m from Brazil. I have over 8 years of experience working with children, including 2 years as an Au Pair caring for three kids. I studied nursing in Brazil, and I’m CNA and CPR certified. I love spending time with kids, planning fun activities, doing arts and crafts, going to the park, playing games, and helping them learn and grow. I’m also experienced with meal prep, homework, potty training, and light housekeeping. I’d describe myself as caring, patient, fun, responsible, and organized. I’m a strong driver, and I always make safety a priority. I genuinely love what I do and enjoy creating a fun, loving environment where kids feel comfortable and supported!
Hello everyone! I'm currently looking for a part-time nanny position while I attend graduate school to become a Marriage and Family Therapist. I have extensive experience working with children across both educational and mental health settings, including early childhood education, therapeutic teaching with unhoused youth, behavioral therapy, and school counseling. I am passionate about supporting children's emotional, social, and developmental growth while creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment. I would love the opportunity to support a family in need of reliable and compassionate childcare ! Please feel free to reach out with any questions or referrals! I also love pets :)
Hi! My name is Beatriz, but most people call me Bea. I’m a caring, patient, and dependable childcare provider and a mom to a wonderful six year old boy. My love for working with children began at 14 when I helped care for children ages 0–5 at my church. Since then, I’ve gained experience in childcare and school settings including working as a paraprofessional. I also have experience supporting children with special needs and understand the importance of patience, flexibility, and getting to know each child’s individual needs. I have completed 16 units in early childhood education, which have helped me better understand children’s development and how to support their learning through play and everyday routines. I enjoy creating a safe, nurturing environment where children feel comfortable being themselves, exploring, and growing. As a parent, I know how much trust it takes to leave your child in someone else’s care. I value open communication with families and bring kindness, attentiveness, and a strong sense of responsibility to my work. I am bilingual in English and Spanish. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and support your little one!
“Bea was on time and gave thorough feedback om how everything went. She was kind and my little guy had a good time with her. 😊🧡”
Hi! My name is Melissa and I grew up in the Bay Area, I am offering house sitting, dog or cat sitting, or part-time babysitting. I have worked for the City of San Pablo for about 3 years now. My position there is a part-time recreation leader where I facilitated activities for youth in summer camps, school break camps, & field trips! I am quick to learn new things & I love activities outdoors. I am also very good at arts & crafts which helps me build strong relationships with any child that I care for. I own two dogs, one of which has passed away, & I get along really well with animals! I also currently work at a small cafe in San Pablo, CA. I can multitask, clean & run errands as needed. I am open to housesitting, cat/dogsitting, & of course childcare!

"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."
