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.

Arody 2 reviews
$40 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Albany, CA

Hello! My name is Arody :) I’m a dedicated childcare professional with 10+ years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I value direct communication, reliability, and creating a safe, positive environment where kids can learn, grow, and feel supported. I’ve worked as a classroom teacher for 25+ students, developed bilingual lesson plans abroad for underprivileged children, and supported families with children of all ages, including those with special needs. Most recently, I have been the full-time nanny for a San Francisco family since their youngest was 6 months old (now 2 years and 2 months). I also care for his 6-year-old brother as needed, managing outings, schedules, and activities for both while ensuring their comfort and safety. I’m an experienced driver with a clean record and have safely operated multiple family vehicles over the past five years. I’m looking to connect with a family who values clear communication, honest feedback, warmth, and professionalism. My goal is to work in true partnership with the family, and I hope that a collaborative, team oriented dynamic is a shared priority. If you feel we may be a good fit, I’d welcome the opportunity to connect and determine whether we’d be a strong match! Warmly, Arody

Arody nannied for us for a little over a year and half starting when our son was almost 6 months. She has a lovely demeanor and bonded almost immediately with our son. She was proactive about finding activities for him and keeping him entertained in a developmentally appropriate manner. She was also great about prepping snacks and meals and tidying up as needed. Our older son has a bit more of a challenging personality and she was great about setting boundaries but still showing him how to communicate with love and respect. We loved our time with Arody!

Teresa 2 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Teresa, I live in Oakland ( Montclair) and Im excited about the potential to work with you and your family. I’m a mother of five adult children, I worked 18 years driving school buses,and I have over 20 years experience working with infants, toddlers, and young children. I’m highly skilled in newborn’s care. My areas of expertise are infant sleep training, potty training, and preparing healthy age-appropriate meals.I strive to create an atmosphere where your children are safe, happy, and well nourished. I’m patient, reliable, committed, and trained in First Aid/CPR. Also I’m a County Register Caregiver/ Companion with 15 years experience in Elder care. Reliable transportation,insurance, and clean background and driving record. Excellent cooking skills and glowing references.

It is my pleasure to offer my highest recommendation for Teresa, who served as the full-time nanny for our son, from the age of eight months until he entered pre-kindergarten at age five. We always looked forward to hearing about what they did during day. From taking his first steps to trying new foods to learning Spanish words, we new our son enjoyed spending time with Teresa. Over those formative years, Teresa was more than an employee; she was an essential and beloved member of our family. Not only did she care for our son, but she also cared for my grandparents, treating them with love and respect. She cooked for them, spent quality time with them and took care of their personal needs. Several years later when we were in need of a nanny, we were so fortunate that she was available. While her professional duties concluded years ago, her role in his life never did. Even now, as he is a senior in high school, Teresa remains a lifelong friend who continues to attend significant milestones and celebrations. This unique, long-standing bond speaks volumes about her character, her commitment, and the depth of care she invests in the children she looks after. For any family seeking a caregiver who is not only trustworthy, reliable, and deeply capable, but who will also bring a truly loving and committed heart to their work, we wholeheartedly recommend Teresa. We are so grateful for the role she played in our lives.

Wren 2 reviews
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Wren I've been caregiving for pets, kiddos, people with social needs, and seniors my whole life! I started petsitting when I was 8 years old, and nannying when I was 11. I worked with seniors with dementia while in school to get my degree in social work, and worked as a full time social worker for years until I realized I prefer a varied schedule and hands on caregiving. I am very artistic and creative and love doing art with kids or special needs adults. I also love organizing and interior design to help make a space work for a persons individual needs. Thank you for considering me!

Wren has done a great job sitting for my two cats. I have one indoor and one outdoor and I always feel at ease leaving them in Wren's care. The cats have grown to love Wren, as well! I definitely recommend Wren as a reliable, thoughtful sitter.

"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)."
