I recently moved to San Mateo and I’m currently looking for a nanny position closer to my new location. My name is Amanda and I have over 8 years of experience caring for children of all ages.
Hi, I’m Nancy! I’m a Bay Area native and a full-time first-grade teacher who truly loves working with kids of all ages. With over five years of classroom experience, many years of babysitting, and a Master’s in Education, I bring patience, creativity, and a nurturing approach to every family I work with. I’m a credentialed public school teacher and have cared for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children—from feedings and nap times to homework help and fun activities. Being bilingual in Spanish and English helps me connect with families from diverse backgrounds, and I’m CPR & First Aid certified so you can feel confident your little ones are safe with me. Families describe me as dependable, warm, and easy to communicate with. Whether you need an extra set of hands during a busy week or a trustworthy sitter for a night out, I’d love to support your family and give your kids a safe, engaging, and fun experience.
Hello! I am former au pair with extensive childcare experience, and I’m also a proud mum to a 15-year-old daughter. I truly love being around children and find so much joy in supporting their growth, creativity, and everyday routines. I currently work at Stanford during the week, but I’d love the opportunity to support your family on weekday evenings after 5 pm and on weekends. I am BLS certified, including CPR, and my rate is $30 per hour (happy to discuss). Thank you Kasia
“She is awesome and great with my boy. Kasia is on time, kind and fun. My son likes her a lot. We recommend her to any family.”
Hi! My name is Patricia. I am a dedicated and experienced nanny with 8 years of full-time childcare experience. I have cared for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens, and I truly enjoy supporting their growth and development in a safe and nurturing environment. I have extensive experience with infants, including bottle feeding, nap routines, diaper changes, and maintaining a consistent schedule. I am also comfortable managing multiple children, helping with homework, and creating engaging, age-appropriate activities. I am reliable, patient, and attentive, and I value building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents. I have worked long-term with families, which has allowed me to provide stability and continuity of care. I am based in Burlingame and have access to a car, making me flexible and dependable for commuting. I am currently looking for occasional opportunities, especially on weekends.
“Patricia was easy to coordinate with, arrived on time and was great with our son. Would definitely recommend.”
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.

"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."
