Booked by 77 families in Novato, CA

Hi- my name is Adriana. I am a biology graduate at SFSU and I am pursuing a career in Nursing. I have been nannying/sitting for over 8 years now and I have loved it ever since! I have cared for children from infant to teenage years and have gained tons of experience not only from working with children around my neighborhood but also from caring for my cousins and now nephews and niece! I love being able to play and be a kid again and learning new things from children as well. I love walks to the park, playing hide and go seek and even tag! I also like visits to the library and museum. I do ask for a 3 hr minimum payment for cancellations that are less than 24hrs, thank you!

Hello! My name is Kayla. I am 27 years old and am studying to become a kindergarten teacher and have been currently been working at a Montessori preschool for the past 2 years. I love hiking, playing games, cooking, and doing any sorts of crafts. Previous jobs have included being a nanny for triplets plus one. The children's ages were 9 (triplets) and 7. Some of the activities included cleaning up, doing laundry, playing with the children, driving them to and from camp or to the park as well as feeding them three times a day and putting them to bed. I also was a recurring babysitter for 2 boys aged 10 and 8, activities in that job included playing video games/board games, playing baseball or basketball, and feeding them. In addition, I also have experience working at a day care. There I worked with children ranging in ages from infants to 12 years of age. The job had entailed cleaning, feeding, and changing the children and playing with them. I really enjoy working with children and getting on their level. I like to hear the interesting things they say and their unique perspectives. I look forward to working with your family!

Hello, my name is Luz! :) I graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a major in Psychology, a minor in Early Development and Learning Science, and a Certificate in Business. My experience working with children began in 2014 when I started as a Teacher’s Aide at the YMCA. In 2016, I joined UrbanSitter and had the joy of babysitting for more than 50 wonderful families throughout the Bay Area while also holding various part-time childcare positions through the end of 2020. At the beginning of 2021, I earned my Behavior Technician certification and worked at Cortica as a Behavior Interventionist with children with Autism and other neurodevelopmental differences — an incredibly rewarding experience. During my time at UC Berkeley, I also worked as a Research Assistant in a developmental psychology lab, which deepened my love for understanding how children learn and grow. I’m licensed, and have a safe, reliable car. I speak English and Spanish fluently and am known for being patient, responsible, and genuinely caring. I love engaging with kids - whether that means creative play, outdoor activities, or helping with learning. In my spare time, I enjoy listening to psychology podcasts, personal finance audiobooks, and spending time outdoors hiking nearby trails. While away from UrbanSitter for a bit now, I’ve kept babysitting my younger sister (8 y.o now) and created a wedding planning business. I truly loved connecting with families and caring for their little ones - it was always such a rewarding part of my life and I can’t wait to feel that again! POLICIES Payment: Because I plan my time and budget around booked hours, I ask to be paid for the full booking, even if plans change or you return earlier than expected. Late Returns: I’m usually flexible with end times, but please text or call if you’ll be running late. I sometimes book jobs back-to-back, and communication helps me stay on schedule. Looking forward to meeting you & your little one(s)!

Hello dear families! My name is Daniela. FYI My middle name is Lucero :) not sure how to change my name on my profile for my first name Daniela but it’s still me! (Not available from the 27th through the 31st of January, 2025.) I’m from Colombia and I’m 25 years old. My native language is Spanish and I am fluent in English. I also completed 4 years of university in Colombia. I was studying a major in foreign languages French and English preparing to be a teacher. I am a very responsable, loving, patient, and organized person. I love spending time with children. I was an au pair for 2.5 years. I lived with a family in Novato, CA for 2 years taking care of her lovely daughter since she was 1.5 yo and I’m still in contact with them. Lmk if you’d like to talk to them as a reference. Also lived in Chicago for 6 months with a family of two kids ( toddler boy and 7yo Girl). I have a little sister, she is eleven years younger than me so I use to take care of her since she was a baby. I was able to feed her, play with her, do her laundry and change her diaper. I’ve volunteered in the past at a rural elementary school in Colombia helping children with class activities, assessment support, classroom preparation and behavior management. At university I did tutoring for 1st semester students in French and English. I was in charge of preparing a 1 hour class with activities and quizzes. That was actually fun, I felt like a real teacher. I was also part of the dance club back in high school and college, I love dancing!! My responsibilities have included: •Driving the kids to school, museums or playgrounds. •Pick up and drop off from/to school. •Making lunch or dinner for children. •Doing different activities like crafts, painting, and dancing. I Love doing art! And of course playing children’s favorite games or sports. •Help with homework occasionally. •Tidying up the children's room or playrooms. I’m very good at organizing.
