Booked by 1 family in Albany, CA

Hi My name is Jennifer, I’m postpartum doula and infant care trained. I have been supporting families with newborn care, infants, toddlers and kids including twins. My responsibilities include baby feeding, diapering, playtime, meal prep, light house work, running errands, reading etc. I do love supporting families in creating a safe nurturing and fun environment for their little ones. And I have been doing this for over 5 years, caring for children of various ages. And I take pride in being reliable, patient and attentive to each child’s unique needs. As a mom myself, I understand how much trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and into your child’s life. I bring the same level of commitment and love to the families I work with and I would be honored to support yours. I have also been a certified nursing assistant and Home health aide for the last 2 years. I’m fully vaccinated and my CPR is up to date. Thank you.

Booked by 9 families in Albany, 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.

Esra 3 reviews
$40 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Albany, CA

I am a passionate and loving nanny with six years of experience, including the last three years in the United States. I am 27 years old and originally from Istanbul, Turkey. I have an adventurous and playful personality and truly enjoy spending time with children. My favorite part of my job is building strong relationships with the children and their parents. I love working with kids because of their sweet, playful energy, which comes naturally to me. I find it deeply rewarding to teach children new skills and to watch them grow, develop, and express their unique personalities. In addition to nannying, I am a physical education and sports teacher, running coach, certified pilates instructor, and personal trainer. I am majoring in anatomic kinesiology and am knowledgeable in physical development games and activities for children. I enjoy dancing, hiking, exercising, listening to podcasts, and spending time outdoors with friends and family. I would describe myself as kind, respectful, and caring. I value mutual respect with my employers and hope to build a positive, trusting relationship where I feel like part of the family. I hold a babysitting certificate, am CPR certified, up to date on vaccinations, and I do not smoke. I am comfortable with pets and actually prefer them. While I do not own a car, I have a valid driver’s license. I would love to chat. Thank you for your time and consideration.

👋 If anyone is in need of the most reliable, clean, energetic, positive, responsible, engaged nanny we’ve ever met, please pick Esra! Esra has been working for our family for 8 months and we hoped to work with her for a lifetime but are unexpectedly moving. Esra is our 14 mo old daughter’s best friend - she lights up our day when she walks in the door. She plays with our daughter every second of the day and takes her to the park to play with other children 2x per day. She is proactive in teaching our daughter new things and shares ideas with us for child development. She cooks and prepares all of our daughter’s meals which started with homemade purées and has evolved into full meals. She is tidy, and leaves the house as she found it every day. She is always on time, smart, driven, speaks good English, and communicates well. Our nanny partnership has been a great investment for our daughter - we couldn’t haven’t had life here in SF any other way. Our heart breaks leaving the city because it means we must leave Esra. We hope she finds an amazing new family.

$35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 5 families in Albany, CA

Hi, I’m Dilan, an Ecuadorian architect and educator with experience in extracurricular activities; I’ve been working in the New School of SF with children for over five years. I lead a wide range of activities, including motor skill development, math, handwriting, and dance (I am a professional dancer and a member of a dance troupe Instagram: @chekumbe). I have worked with children with autism and anxiety; this experience has taught me how to understand them and view the world from a different perspective. I currently assist two families on a regular basis, handling cooking (I managed a family restaurant in Ecuador), deep cleaning the home (I am very meticulous about cleanliness), running errands, and childcare. I am physically capable of moving heavy objects and am an excellent "manny." I treat children with love and respect, and I am an animal lover: I have three dogs at home (one is 14 years old) and a rescued cat. I enjoy sports and have been living in the United States for a year and a half. I speak English (though I am still learning), Spanish is my native language, and I speak a little Portuguese. I am dedicated to teaching, fostering respect and tolerance, and building wonderful bonds with children. I also have crafting skills—such as sewing, macramé, knitting, and embroidery; you can check out my Instagram @smeraudes to see and buy the amazing things I create. I would love to meet you and help out in any way I can.

"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)."
