Sophie $35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in San Pablo, CA

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.

Bridget $32 per hour for 1 child

Hi I’m new to Urban sitter but have been active on Care.com the past 6 + years! I have lots of positive reviews and referrals on my care account id love to send if you are interested! I wanted to use this site to offer my occasional and date night nanny services. My name is Bridget and I’m a 26 year old flight attendant! I worked at a day care before I started flying 7 years ago and while flying I have worked for many families occasionally babysitting. I did take a little over a year off flying where I left my last airline in Arizona (where I’m born and raised) to move to the Bay Area where my Dad and other family are at. I started nannying in Marin where I got introduced to a family needing more of a family manager role. The kids were 10, 13, and 16. I gained a lot of experience doing that for about a year and a half then got hired at southwest as a flight attendant. I don’t have a very constant free schedule but I do have flexibility and time off where I have been occasionally nannying. I’d love to help your family out with occasional childcare and date nights! Feel free to reach out and I’ll let you know my availability.

Rebecca $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Becca, and I've recently moved to San Rafael from Sacramento. I have over 5 years of professional childcare experience, including Early Childhood Education (ECE) teaching with children ages 4 months–5 years, as well as coaching gymnastics and parkour for ages 2–12. I’ve worked as a private nanny for children across all age groups and especially enjoy working with infants and preschool-aged children (3–6). I focus on play-based, child-led learning in calm, structured environments that encourage curiosity and exploration. With infants, I have experience supporting sleep routines, feeding, tummy time, and sensory play. With toddlers and preschoolers, I enjoy incorporating movement, everyday learning like early literacy and numeracy, and creative play that builds curiosity, confidence, and independence. I also bring a calm, emotionally attuned approach, helping children navigate big emotions with steady support and clear, consistent boundaries. In previous roles, I’ve supported families with school pick-ups/drop-offs, meal prep, children’s laundry, and daily routines like bath and bedtime. I’m currently looking for a part-time position and would be happy to provide references. I’m fully vaccinated and CPR/First Aid certified. Please feel free to message me with any questions or to chat about how I can best support your family. Thank you for your time!
