I have 20+ years experience working with newborns to teens. I’ve spent over a decade as a professional nanny/sitter in San Francisco Bay Area. I usually work with newborns/ infants/ toddlers, so I'm fully vaccinated with documentation. Received a certificate of completion as a newborn care specialist from Newborn Care Training Academy. My earliest childcare experience comes from growing up in a big family. I have 6 siblings and they have 10 kids who I've helped raise. In previous jobs, my duties included dog-walking, driving, light housekeeping/cooking, kid's laundry, sleep training, potty-training, baby-led weaning, baby massage, baby sign language, using cloth diapers, working in a nanny share, caring for twins/multiples, and physical therapy (epilepsy). I was a teacher's aide for preschool, kindergarten, and 1st grade. I've tutored K-12 students in reading and writing comprehension, basic class assignments and computer literacy. I’ve taught melodic percussion and play the ukulele. I can handle multiple children because I worked as a Kid's Club Attendant at 24-Hour Fitness --- busy with arts & crafts, jungle gym, song and dance parties. I drive to work from Berkeley Hills. Please let me know if there's any parking restrictions where you live (street cleaning/other parking rules). ________ VACCINATIONS Flu: 1/8/2026 Covid-19: 9/28/2025 HepB: 11/23/2016 Tdap: 11/22/2016 ________ - Adult/Pediatric CPR/First Aid/AED certified 5/3/25 - Member of International Nanny Association - CA Trustline Certified ________ POLICIES I expect to be paid the same whether the child is asleep/awake with the exception of overnight/travel jobs. Let's discuss expectations and negotiate. EARLY/LATE RETURNS: This work is my main source of income. Because I plan my time and budget around the hours booked, I ask to be paid for the entire booking even if you come home early. I'm usually flexible on the end time of a booking, but text/call if you'll be late, especially if we have not discussed flexibility beforehand. I occasionally book jobs back-to-back with just enough time for travel in between, and your late return can have an unfortunate impact on my schedule. CANCELLATIONS: For cancellations with less than 48 hours notice, I expect 50% of the original booking amount.

“our daughter loves Kresta! we're definitely asking her to return next time we need a sitter. she was on time and knew exactly how to make our baby feel comfortable from the moment she arrived ”

Hi there! I am a graduate from USF with a background in healthcare and a Micro-Credential in Behavioral Health. With over 10 years of experience working with children in daycare settings and ABA (applied behavior analysis), specializing in kids with autism, I am well-equipped to provide care for your little ones. I have worked with children of all ages, from infants and toddlers to school-aged kids and teenagers, and I am passionate about engaging them in fun and enriching activities both indoors and outdoors. I am CPR/BSL certified, up-to-date on my FLU vaccine and TB test, and fully vaccinated against COVID-19. I prioritize open communication and honesty with the families I work with, and I am always willing to lend a helping hand with light household tasks. I do provide more help for additional fees; please ask about this, and we can discuss further. Whether it's a day full of outdoor adventures or indoor activities like reading, puzzles, and arts and crafts, I am dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment for your children (I have little nephews and a niece so I think about how I would want them cared for and provide that level of care to children I work with). I am comfortable wearing a mask if needed and am happy to accommodate any special requests or concerns you may have. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about me, please don't hesitate to reach out. I am excited to connect with your family and provide the best possible care for your little ones. Thank you for considering me for your babysitting needs!

“Luisa was great. She was so easy to communicate with and coordinate with and very sweet and helpful with my kids. ”

Hellooo!! I’m Guadalupe but you can call me Guada, it is shorter and easier to pronounce :) I am looking for a part time very early in the mornings, or in the afternoons, ideally ~ 3 to 6pm (I have a remote part time job as well). I am a former Au Pair, and I lived with my host family for 3.5 years taking care of 2 kids (5 and 6 years old). Also, I have ~4 years of experience with two 5 y/o kids + experience with many occasional jobs with different families including baby-sitting and house management. Let me know if you are looking for a part time nanny or you need occasional help in the evenings! Gracias, Thank you! 7 years of experience working with kids ✔️ Experience handling situations with kids with special needs ✔️ Vaccinated + Booster ✔️ Energetic and highly motivated 🔝 Drivers license + experience driving in SF ✔️ I don't own a car❗️

“My 2 boys asked "when can Guadalupe come back?" as soon as she left. I asked what they liked and they said "she's so nice!" So, she was totally great to have over, and I would definitely ask for her help in the future!”

Booked by 71 families in Orinda, CA

With going on 6 years of experience caring for one family, I developed strong childcare skills, including managing routines, and keeping kids entertained through engaging activities. I have been on UrbanSitter for almost 2 years and have worked with various families as a repeat sitter! I also have experience caring for my younger siblings and cousins in my big family. I moved for to the Bay Area/Berkeley for college, which led me to transition from my previous long-term position. I’m reliable, nurturing, and love helping kids grow! I am able to drive kiddos around in the family’s car and run errands if needed! I don’t own a car in the Bay Area

“We were in a bind and Milissa came through for us big time. She even wore out our energetic 4 year old who just fell asleep 10 minutes into Paw Patrol. Which is a gift. Thank you Milissa!”
