Booked by 6 families in Albany, CA

My name is Margarita. I have 12+ years experience as a nanny. I have 5 younger brothers and sisters who I helped take care growing up. Now, I have 2 teenage children of my own. I have been a nanny for several babies and toddlers for years at a time. I have also done a few nanny shares with toddlers. I take the children to the park, library, and walks in the neighborhood. I am comfortable driving, doing arts and crafts, diapering, preparing meals, and getting the children on a schedule both with naps/eating. I maintain communication with the parents throughout the day. I still stay in touch with all of the families that I have worked with in the past and love to continue to watch the children grow up. I am bilingual - Spanish and English. I have taken classes in childhood development, Pediatric first aid, Child/infant CPR AED, Adult CPR AED and Asthma care course. I am up to date on all vaccines, including the covid vaccine and booster, and follow all guidelines to stay safe/healthy. I am looking for a full time position. I'm comfortable caring for multiple children and in households with pets. I have excellent references that can be shared upon request. I have a passion for taking care of children and will care for your children as my own.

Margarita nannied for our daughter (in a nanny share with another little boy about the same age) from when she was under 1 to when we moved her to preschool. She is the kindest, most loving person you could have caring your your child. My daughter loves her and I always knew she was safe and happy when she was with Margarita. She is always singing, playing outside, talking to, and engaging with the kids. They are always so happy. I would highly recommending hiring her.

Booked by 79 families in Albany, CA

Hello parents! I have been working with children since I was 14. I have been a camp counselor, a swim instructor aide, a lifeguard and a nursery care provider. I have current CPR/AED and first aid training as well as infant and child CPR training. I have experience with children of all ages. I love spending time with kids because they are so much fun and have boundless energy. When I take care of kids I love to play games, do arts and crafts, or anything else that keeps them active! I am also available to help with pets, light household chores, or any other things as needed. In my spare time I love reading, music movies, and spending time with friends. :) Please feel free to ask me any questions!

Chloe is so good with my 5 month old baby and I have every confidence in her as a sitter. She is in-sync with the baby's needs and cues, and she seems to genuinely enjoy him, which is the most important factor for me. As another has stated, she makes observations about the baby's development and behavior, which shows her involvement and interest. And even when my baby was overtired and screaming and taking a whole hour to go down for his nap, Chloe was able to handle it in stride, knowing that it was "nobody's fault" but rather something that just goes along with caring for babies.. She is quick to respond via message and text, and she is punctual. I also appreciate her personality- she's direct, confident, and has a wry sense of humor, but not in an angry way. I'm looking forward to using her again.

"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."

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)."
