Shyanne 2 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Alameda, CA

Hi, I’m Shyanne! I’m a dedicated nanny and caregiver with seven years of experience working with children ranging from newborns to teens. I was born and raised in Washington state and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in July 2022 to continue my career in childcare and further my education. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of age groups, including infants, toddlers, school age children, and teens. I truly value creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can grow physically, emotionally, and cognitively. I love planning activities that spark imagination and encourage exploration, whether that’s outdoor play, creative arts and crafts, reading together, or helping with homework. I’m also happy to support families with light cooking, basic tutoring, routines, and age appropriate developmental activities. I am currently a full-time nanny for two wonderful children, ages 2 and 5, and I’m looking to offer additional support on weekends and during early mornings.

Angelina 1 review
$34 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Alameda, CA

I really enjoy working with kids and have experience caring for children ages 1-13. I'm comfortable handling multiple kids, helping with homework, making snacks, and keeping everyone entertained. I'm patient, responsible, and good at building rapport with both kids and parents. I have a clean driving record and take safety seriously. I'm also pretty flexible and good about communicating if anything comes up. Kids tend to like hanging out with me because I keep things fun but also respect whatever rules parents have in place. I'm reliable and show up on time. A bit about me: I have a bachelor's degree from Chico State and spent 9 years working in tech. I'm now making a move to more community based work because I want to spend my time helping people directly. Happy to share my LinkedIn so you can see recommendations from past coworkers and bosses. I'm also happy to help as a family assistant with things like dishes, laundry, returning packages, errands, and admin tasks to free up your time for work and family. Happy to help with pickups, drop-offs, activities, and light household stuff. Let me know if you want to chat more about what you're looking for! I do require 50% of the scheduled rate for last-minute changes within 48 hours of service.

Angelina has been an incredible caregiver for my daughter, who recently turned 5, but has also been in her care when she was a toddler as well. She is deeply trustworthy, flexible, and kind— consistently reliable and dependable in every interaction. What truly sets Angelina apart is her natural ability to read my daughter’s cues and honor her as an individual human being, always relieving me of any stress as I know she will be safe and cared for to the best quality, and someone my daughter looks forward to seeing, as a bonus to alleviate separation anxiety! She brings positivity and light into every space she enters, immediately putting children at ease and creating a sense of joy and comfort. I give Angelina my highest recommendation without hesitation — she is a rare find and a true gift to any family she works with. — Erin N.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
