Hi! My name is Ruby, and I’m an experienced nanny with over 5 years of hands-on care for infants, toddlers, and school-age children. I’m certified in sleep training, baby-led weaning, car seat safety, and CPR, and I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing, and developmentally supportive environment. I also have additional experience teaching swim lessons, with a strong focus on water safety. I’m based in Grass Valley and currently available for part-time and as-needed positions. I can travel to surrounding areas such as Auburn, Rocklin, Roseville, Folsom, and Sacramento.
I raised two wonderful humans to adulthood, and have been teaching high school English for 15 years while earning numerous awards and commendations. I also come trained as a first responder through 15 years of experience with Search and Rescue which includes certification as EMR (including First Aid, CPR, and AED for infants through adults) as well as numerous awards and commendations. I volunteered for 10 years in the youth program at my church (Calvary Chapel, Reno/Sparks), worked as the lead teacher of the school-age summer program at Little Knights and Maidens, led the youth program at my local library for many years, and led my own children through myriad sports and activities (soccer, dance, 4H, Scouts, etc). As my own children are recently off to college, I find myself with more time on my hands, and I would love to serve my community while making some extra tuition money for my own kids. Tutoring of course can be included in the services listed.
Hello! My name is Laura, and I am a proud mom of two grown children and a joyful young grandma with lots of energy and an active lifestyle. With a lifetime of hands-on experience raising children, I’m excited to share my love, care, and dedication with other families as a dependable and nurturing sitter. I bring warmth, patience, and genuine attentiveness to every child I care for. I’m kind, compassionate, and committed to creating a safe, engaging, and positive environment where children can thrive. Reliability is one of my strongest qualities—I’m never late and always arrive early to ensure a smooth transition for both you and your child. In addition, if drop-off or pick-up is needed, I have reliable transportation with a clean driving record, so you can rest assured that your child will be transported safely and on time. My goal is to provide you with peace of mind, knowing your child is in capable, caring hands. Taking care of children is not only my passion but also my true calling in life! *Fun Facts about Me* "I have run four half marathons in my lifetime." "Growing up I was a Girl Scout from 1st grade through my High School years." "Now that my children are grown, I have three spoiled fur babies at home."
Hello! I am Nicole. I have worked with children since I was 15 when I started junior lifeguarding and teaching swim lessons. I coached skiing to kids for over 10 years. I have worked as a kids art teacher throughout the years. I speak very good Spanish. I am comfortable with infants. I am infant, child and adult first aid, CPR and AED certified. I love kids and keep it safe and fun! I can provide references upon request.

Hi, thanks for checking out my profile! I have 8+ years of nanny experience caring for little ones from newborns to early elementary age. Over the years, I've worked with multiple families long-term and some short term and have also been a traveling nanny so I've picked up plenty of tips and tricks to make life easier for both parents and kids. These days, I focus on occasional care think daytime fill-ins when your sitter calls in sick or daycare is closed, date nights, overnights, and even travel care. Really when you need an extra set of hands. Families appreciate not only the care I give to their children but also the peace of mind that comes from knowing their home and routines are in good hands too. I have a flexible schedule but like to plan ahead whenever possible. If you're looking for a reliable, experienced nanny you can count on for those in-between moments, I'd love to chat! Also I’m new to Urban Sitter but have reviews on care.com.
