Angelina $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Angelina 😊 I’m 19, currently in college, and training to become a firefighter. My training has taught me the importance of safety, responsibility, and staying calm under pressure—qualities I bring into every childcare setting. Your child’s safety is always my top priority. I’m new to this app and excited to meet my first family here, though I do have previous childcare experience outside of the platform. I truly enjoy caring for kids and would love the opportunity to support your family in a safe, positive, and fun way HI currently work full-time at a Club Pilates studio as a receptionist and sales associate, which allows me to make my own schedule and gain valuable experience in a fast-paced environment. I’m fluent in English, Italian, and Spanish, which helps me connect with diverse families. I have six years of experience in childcare, including babysitting, working as a camp counselor for two different companies which also helped me learn how to handle multiple children at once, and a year of experience as a travel sitter for a family in Los Angeles. I genuinely enjoy working with children and have plenty of patience, often engaging them in creative activities and games. I’m happy to prepare meals for your child and can accommodate any special dietary requests. I also have two years of cleaning experience with a private client and would gladly help tidy your home if needed. I can assist your child with homework and other learning activities. I am CPR/First AID certified and currently working on my First Aid certification. If you’re interested, I’d be happy to send my full resume.

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

Hi! My name is Jade, I’m 26 years old, and I’m a full-time nanny with 8 years of experience. I recently relocated from San Francisco to Dallas and am excited to find a wonderful new family to work with! Over the years, I’ve worked with five different families, all of whom I’ve built strong, lasting relationships with. I truly value becoming part of the families I work for—I’ve celebrated birthdays, holidays, and milestones with them, and I’m still very close with each one. I have experience caring for children ranging from 3 months to 7 years old, with a strong background in infant care. I’m confident in maintaining routines, and creating a safe, nurturing, learning environment. I grew up in San Diego with my two younger sisters, and I played a big role in helping raise them. That early experience sparked my love for childcare and led me to pursue nannying as a full-time career. I genuinely love what I do and look forward to becoming a mom someday, which is why caring for children is so meaningful to me. I’m currently available Monday through Friday and am seeking a full-time position. I have a valid driver’s license and my own car. I’m also happy to assist with light household tasks such as children’s laundry, dishes, tidying, and errands like grocery shopping. I have a strong resume and excellent references available upon request. I’d love to connect, please feel free to reach out! I’m happy to schedule a FaceTime or Zoom to chat more. Thank you so much!

Danielle $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Danielle when I was in high school I would volunteer at daycare/preschool and I would be in 6 month- 2-year-old classes. Which would typically involve managing their high energy levels, supporting their developmental milestones, and providing a safe and stimulating environment while understanding their unique communication methods. I also was a nanny for 1-year-old triples two years ago for more than a year but unfortunately I had to leave them when I started college. Working with infants and toddlers at a young age helped me go into college wanting to purse a path of Child Adolescence as my major.

"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)."
