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 have been an elementary school teacher for 22years. Prior to that I worked in early childhood settings with ages infant to 4. I’m also a mother of a 21 year old! I love working with children and have experience with cats and dogs. I’m highly organized, efficient and am able to help with household management. I’m a very grounded, fun, positive person who is able to work with a high level of independence. I’m a great communicator and generally love people. I look forward to seeing how I can help you!
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 currently a special education extensive needs Para Educator in a middle school SPED classroom with the Sacramento County of Education (SCOE).

This is a Prek-12th French immersion IB school. I have experience as a French immersion preschool teacher at Au Beau Séjour French Preschool in Oakland, working with ages 3-4. I have experience as a Preschool Teacher at Acorn to Oak in Sacramento, working with ages 3-5. This school followed Montessori, Reggio Emilia and Waldorf philosophies. I have nanny / babysitting experience with ages 6mo - 10 (I have experience babysitting 1 - 4 child families). I grew up with younger twin siblings that I loved helping taking care of. I am CPR and First Aid Certified and have 43.5 Early Childhood Education Units with a certificate in Early Childhood Education.

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.
