Booked by 9 families in Alameda, CA

Greetings families! My name is Samantha but you all can call me Sam. I have been a career nanny for 10+ years. And have experience working with newborns, infant, toddlers, and older children all around. Plus, a background with children diagnosed with autism, ADHD, and bipolar disorder. I am transitioning to being a postpartum doula and newborn care specialist. Currently in the process of becoming certified with DONA International by the end of 2023. Am mom to a pitbull mix doggo and a domestic short hair kitty. :)

Sam was wonderful! She was prompt, professional, an excellent communicator, and she was terrific with my young toddler. I had never had a sitter before so I was incredibly nervous but I felt immediately comfortable leaving my kid with Sam. She updated us via text to let us know how it was going. Sam listened closely to any instructions I left, and followed them closely and respectfully, and let me know each thing was clear and understood. She was terrific playing with my toddler and I'd be thrilled to book her in the future.

$34 per hour for 1 child

Hello parents, My name is Evelyn , I am a happy married woman and proud mom of two boys 20 and 24 years old looking and I’m looking for a long term full time nanny job. I have been working as a nanny for more than 25 years with kids as young as 2 months and up. I’ll be available to start with a new family/families in June 2026. I am bilingual Spanish-English, responsible, honest, loving, trustworthy, patient, CPR and first aid certified, also registered with Trustline. I’m up to date with all my vaccinations, including Covid. I have my own car, auto insurance, clean driving record, and excellent references from my previous jobs. I like to take kids to parks, zoo, walks, library and to any other place where they can have fun, explore and learn new things that will help them to grow. As a nanny, I always make sure kids under my care are safe, healthy and happy. Please let me know if you would like to know more about me and my experience. Thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing from you. Best, Evelyn

There is no caregiver like Karina. She looked after my children and was like a part of our family for six years. She is helpful, reliable, so easy to be around and wonderfully kind, loving but appropriately firm with children. My kids still love her and talk about her often. Friends of mine would see her with our kids at music class or the park and remark how great she was with them. You will not find a better fit for your childcare needs!

Booked by 3 families in Alameda, CA

I'm 29yo and I live in Oakland. I have been working with kids for over 6 years and I have experiences with all ages (from newborns to teenagers). I have a nice background with kids, since I'm a Registered Nurse in Brazil and specialist in pediatrics and worked for 3 years in children's hospitals. I'm fully Covid vaccinated plus booster, flu shot and TDAP. I have great references who will be happy to talk with you, I'd love to share more infos, send me a message if you are interested in talking. I appreciate your time.

Ana Luisa has a very sweet and calm presence and my kid had a great time hanging out with her and looked forward to it the night before, which is surprising since she has some separation anxiety still. Ana Luisa took our kiddo out to the park every day and kiddo came home happy and excited and very ready for her nap! I really appreciated that Ana Luisa has her own car so she's able to go on adventures. She was always on time and easy to communicate with. I highly reccommend Ana Luisa for any of your childcare needs.

"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)."
