Booked by 29 families in Albany, CA

Hello there! I'm Haley, an experienced childcare worker with four years of experience. I'm currently seeking a full-time nanny role or a part-time position. My experience includes teaching infant and toddler classrooms at a daycare, occasional work with older kids, and tutoring at the high school and college level. I studied Data Science at UC Berkeley, and worked as a lab assistant in computer science and data science courses. I can also assist with meal prep and cooking. As a nanny, creating a safe and nurturing environment is my priority. I enjoy my work because I can watch kids grow and develop into amazing human beings, and being a part of that process is so invaluable. Outside of childcare, I like being outdoors or cooking for friends and family. If you're looking for someone to join your family, my inbox is open to messages. I would love to chat with you!

Haley is fantastic. She did great with my gifted and neurodivergent child.

Booked by 4 families in Albany, CA

Hello everyone! :) My name is Passhun and I am 22 years old. I love and adore working with kids and have been working with children as a paraprofessional/babysitter for almost four years. Some of my favorite things about working with kids is being able to see their progress and growth and building meaningful bonds. I have experience working 10 month olds-13year olds. I love to do arts and crafts, dance, and do puzzles with the kids I work with. I can also do a few chores such as cooking, cleaning, and running errands. I am also CPR/First Aid certified. If you have any questions for me, please feel free to reach out!

Passhun was prompt, respectful, and great with my 18-month son. When I got home, my son was engaged, calm, and seemed to be having a good time. I will be hiring her for future babysitting needs!

Booked by 20 families in Albany, CA

My name is Lynda, I am 24 years old, and I have been working as a preschool teacher for the past 2 years. I am passionate about working with children and supporting their development in a safe and nurturing environment. I also studied midwifery, where I completed several internships that gave me hands-on experience with newborns and young children. This background has helped me build strong skills in childcare from an early age. I have cared for children in over 40 families, including 9 regular families that I worked with consistently. I also provided long-term care for one child for 1. 5 years, 4 days a week, building a strong and trusting relationship with both the child and the family. I am patient, caring, and responsible. I always make sure children feel safe, happy, and engaged by offering age-appropriate activities that support their creativity and independence. I would love the opportunity to care for your children and support your family's daily needs

Lynda was lovely, very professional and got our toddler to sleep without any issue!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
