Hello Families, My name is Malena, and I’m an experienced nanny with over 10 years of childcare experience supporting children from infancy through early teens. I’ve worked as both a nanny and an au pair, where I learned to assist families with daily routines, homework help, safe transportation, and creating a warm, supportive environment for their children. I am CPR and First Aid certified, fully vaccinated, and a licensed driver. I am reliable, communicative, and actively involved in children’s growth and well-being. I currently work as nanny live-in watching a beautiful and smart little boy for single mother who is transitioning to a different care arrangement. Because of this I’m looking for a full-time position starting at the end of January to the beginning of February. I’d love the opportunity to learn more about your needs and share how I can help. Thank you for your consideration! — Malena
“Malena was helpful and proactive with the kids. I admired that she was able to execute the evening routine well her first day with us! She was communicative and not afraid to ask us questions which gave me a peace of mind whilst I was away from home. We came home to a clean and tidy home which was nice bonus. Thank you for your help. ”
I am a active, fun and loving grandmother of 11 grandchildren ranging from ages 10 months to 23 years. I have experience in new borns, infants and toddler care as well as getting school age children off to school and athletic activities. I have worked with children on the autism spectrum as well as ADHD children. I am a certified caregiver I also cared for both my mom and dad. They had dementia and I cared for them in their home until they peacefully passed away in their bed. I am a dog lover and dog owner. I love cats. I have owned many kitties during my lifetime. I am able to house sit and my time is quite flexible. I am a joyful and positive lady with a big heart and a fun sense of humor. I am reliable and very punctual.
My name is Suprinya. I'm Thai. I graduated BA's degree from Thammasat University, Bangkok Thailand. I have 13 years childcare experience with age 5 months old - 6 year-old. I m living in Sunnyvale and looking for a job in the area close by. I have verifiable references. Please contact me if you are interested. Thank you
Hi! My name is Natalie and I’m a reliable, positive, and organized caregiver who enjoys helping families keep their homes running smoothly. While I am newer to professional caregiving, I have experience supporting family members with children, pets, and household responsibilities. Through teaching dance classes and working in leadership roles, I’ve developed patience, strong communication skills, and the ability to create a fun and safe environment for others. I’m naturally energetic, creative, and attentive, which allows me to connect easily with kids and keep them engaged through activities like music, movement, crafts, and games. My goal is always to make families feel supported and give parents peace of mind knowing their babies are in good hands. I’m excited to gain more experience, build long-term relationships with families, and provide a caring, responsible presence in the home. I’m looking forward to meeting you, your little ones and support whether it’s long term or temporary!
Hi! My name is Jamiese, but I also go by Miese (pronounced Me-C)! I’m currently a student at San José State University studying Criminology, with plans to pursue a career in law. I have several years of experience working with children of different ages through nannying, babysitting, summer camps, and youth sports programs. I currently work with multiple families throughout the Bay Area, providing morning care, after-school care, transportation to and from activities, and occasional evening and weekend babysitting. I’m a very outgoing, patient, responsible, and energetic person who genuinely enjoys working with children. I love keeping kids active and engaged, whether that’s spending time outdoors, doing arts and crafts, playing games, helping with homework, or finding fun activities that match their interests. Growing up, I participated in competitive cheerleading, dance, track, swimming, and water polo, so staying active has always been a big part of my life! I am also CPR certified and understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident with the person caring for their children. Safety is always my top priority, and I do my best to create a positive, nurturing, and fun environment while respecting each family’s routines, expectations, and parenting styles. One of my favorite things about nannying is building genuine connections with the children and families I work with. I love watching kids grow, develop their personalities, and become more independent. I believe patience, communication, and consistency are important when caring for children, and I always try to bring those qualities into my work. I’m currently looking for additional occasional babysitting opportunities, especially during evenings and weekends. Whether you need someone for a date night, weekend outing, or just an extra helping hand, I’d be more than happy to help! I look forward to connecting with new families and hopefully meeting your little ones soon! 😊

"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."
