Maria $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Maria, I am a very responsible, loving and caring nanny. I have experience with infants and toddlers for over 7 years. I’m a compassionate and dependable nanny. Skilled in creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment, meal preparation, transportation, and daily routines. My experience working in a pediatric clinic has strengthened my knowledge of child health, development, and communication with families. As an online nursing student pursuing a career as a pediatric nurse, I am passionate about supporting children's well-being and providing patient, attentive, and reliable care. I like to play with children in a way where they can develop their motor skills, communication and learn to discover the world in a safe way. I also like to do indoor and outdoor activities such as, long walks, go to the park, the library for story time, music class and I love to read to children and help them explore and engage in the world around them. English is my first language but I speak fluent in Spanish, some parents ask me to teach Spanish to their children and I gladly teach them. I love kids, I think they are very sweet, fun, intelligent and I always have such a good time with them. Excellent and strong references available upon request. I have CA DL and insurance. CPR/First Aid trained. I am currently seeking for a family to work for PT or ST.

Ashley $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ashley. I’m a caring and reliable sitter with lots of hands-on experience, both as a mom and working with children of different ages. Being a parent myself, I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your kids. I follow a gentle parenting approach and focus on creating a safe, calm, and positive environment where children feel comfortable, respected, and free to be themselves. I love engaging with kids through play, learning activities, and everyday routines. I’m very hands-on and intuitive, so I’m happy to jump right in and help without needing a lot of direction. Whether it’s caring for your little one, helping with child-related chores, or just making your day a little easier, I’ve got you covered. I also have strong references available and would love the chance to support your family!

"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)."
