Hello, my name is Elsiy and I am currently employed as a Nanny with a lovely family, which I’ve been with seven wonderful years. I am offering my services as a share nanny starting the beginning of February. I was a preschool teacher back home. Unfortunately, I do not drive but I do have reliable transportation to get there . I am a reliable and responsible person.
Hello It’s lovely to meet you! My name is Cori Williams, I have nearly 20 years of experience working with children in the Bay Area. My journey working with children started when I was very young. I started a babysitting business in my neighborhood by going door to door as a pre teen to offer my services. I later got myself CPR and AED certified through my work as a swim instructor and lifeguard, where I spent several years teaching infants and toddlers how to swim and building strong safety skills around water safety and swim team training. After seven years working as a full-time lifeguard and swim instructor, I transitioned into full-time nannying and have since worked closely with several families providing dependable, long-term childcare. I have spent years studying early childhood education and child psychology, and I am currently continuing my education to further deepen my understanding of child development. I am especially passionate about supporting children with diverse developmental needs. Throughout my career I have worked with children with ADHD, autism, behavioral challenges, Down syndrome, and other special care needs. I approach each child with patience, compassion, and an individualized approach that supports their emotional development, confidence, and independence. I strongly believe in gentle parenting practices that prioritize communication, emotional awareness, and respect for children as individuals. A Montessori style of parenting. I focus on creating engaging and enriching environments where children feel safe to express themselves, explore their interests, and grow at their own pace. In addition to childcare, I can also assist families with light household support, meal preparation, organization, school pickups, activity planning, and creating fun educational experiences for children. Outside of work, I enjoy studying child. psychology, holistic living, and creative activities such as art. My long-term goal is to continue my education and eventually work in behavioral therapy supporting children with special needs. I have a clean driving record and can provide strong references upon request. Thank you for your time and consideration! I look forward to meeting with you. Best, Cori Williams 1(916) 500 - 9739
Hi! I’m a responsible and caring person with experience taking care of children of different ages. I’m patient, organized, and love creating a safe and fun environment. I can help with daily routines, meals, light housekeeping, and engaging activities like reading, crafts, and outdoor play. I also feel comfortable with pets and enjoy helping families keep their home running smoothly. I’m reliable, communicative, and truly enjoy working with kids.
Hello! My name is Sophie, and I’m a career nanny living in Oakland. I’m a former preschool teacher, and hold a B.A. in Child Development from Mills College. I have been a nanny/babysitter on and off for the past 20 years. Most of my nanny work has consisted of caring for newborns- 3 yr-olds. I really enjoy working with parents as a team, to support them in their post-partum journey. I am looking for part-time work in the areas of infant/childcare, family support, post-partum support, pet care, sibling-support, and general household support.
Hello! My name is KamrynAyn (Kam) and I have over 10 years of experience in childcare. In high school I started my first summer nanny job, outside of normal babysitting. In college I babysat regularly for friends & family. I was an au pair in London for a lovely family, with two girls 3-5. It was the best year of my life. As I have began a professional career in biotech, I don’t have as much time to work as a nanny, but I miss spending time with kids. I am currently looking to provide occasional or part time care for the right family!

"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."
