*at this time I am not accepting new families but will update if that changes!* Hi there, my name is Eva and I am 27 years old. I first graduated from college in 2021, where I obtained my degree in political science, and have completed my second degree in psychology. I have always enjoyed and excelled at working with children. For two years, I have worked with children aged infant to Kindergarten in a daycare setting and am a fully qualified childcare teacher in the state of California. Most of my time is spent with the toddler (12 to 23 months) age group, but I have experience in classrooms with children up to age 6. Additionally, I have about 4 years of volunteer experience with preschool and lower elementary aged children in both a formal and summer camp setting. I have worked with families both on and off Urban Sitter for 3 years, with children ranging in age from 1 to 10 years old. The opportunity to impart knowledge and bring joy to children, or even be a playmate, is a rewarding experience - I believe children can be our teachers too. I understand how crucial it is that you feel comfortable with the person taking care of your children - and I would be happy to speak further, answer any questions, or tell you more about myself.

“I can’t say enough good things about Eva. She’s been my two-year-old’s teacher since he was just one, so we’ve known her for about 18 months now. Over that time, she’s been super reliable, caring, and just really great with kids. She has also baby sat my son individually at our house, and helped with his laundry, dishes and food. He loves his one on one time with her. She has an awesome way of connecting with little ones by talking to them at their level and really getting where they’re at. She also brings in fun, helpful developmental activities that have been great for our child’s growth. Eva has truly become part of our support network. We trust her with our eyes closed and always feel completely comfortable leaving our child in her care. Any family would be so lucky to have her.”

I have professional experience caring for babies and young children, with 5+ years of childcare experience, including nannying and family support. I’m comfortable with daily routines, meals, play, naps, school drop-offs and pickups, and creating a safe, warm, and engaging environment for children. I also have experience helping families with light housekeeping and home organization, as well as pet care. I’m reliable, caring, organized, and attentive to the needs of both children and the household. Thank you, Bruna

“Very detail oriented and caring. Will definitely work together again.”

Hello! My name is Olivia. I am 26 years old. I have 10 years experience with babysitting and nannying (the video on my profile is a few years old) for newborn babies-10 years old. Your child will be in a supervised, safe, and stable environment. I am responsible and reliable. I believe I could be a great fit for you, your children and your family. I am currently employed full time at a printing company in San Ramon but I would love to work as a full time nanny again. I am very flexible with my schedule, I can work more than 8hrs a day and sometimes on weekend too.

Lacey 3 reviews

Booked by 3 families in Danville, CA

Hi families! My name is Lacey, and I’ve been working with children for 6 years! The last 2 years, I’ve worked as a full-time nanny for two different families, and I currently nanny Monday–Thursday while attending school for pre-med. I have the most experience with babies and little ones ages 6 months to 6 years, but I’m comfortable with other ages as well! I genuinely love working with kids and being someone families can count on. I’m CPR certified, have taken babysitting and childcare classes, and am a safe, reliable driver with my own vehicle. I’m happy to help with just about anything, including meal prep, bedtime and bath routines, homework, school pickups, driving to activities, and keeping the kids entertained with crafts, outdoor play, and other fun activities. Since I already work as a nanny, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your children. I always do my best to follow your family’s routines, keep you updated, and make sure your little ones feel safe and comfortable with me. I’m mainly available for date nights, evenings, weekends, and occasional babysitting outside my regular nanny schedule. I’d love to meet your family and see if we’re a good fit! 🤍

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
