Ines $27 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am Inés and I am currently studying speech therapy at SF State. I have 3+ years working in schools with children ages 5-10 and was most recently working as the Assistant PE teacher K-2 at the Hamlin School. I was educated in the Waldorf pedagogy and try to incorporate those values with children. I am trilingual in Spanish, English, and Italian as well as an elementary understanding of German and French. Apart from spending my time studying I enjoy hiking, reading, and experimenting in the kitchen. I also thoroughly enjoy knitting and anything that involves working with my hands.

Booked by 1 family in Albany, CA

I’ve been caring for others for most of my life. babysitting at 11 for the family next door, caring for a 3-month-old, a toddler, and sometimes their 6-year-old as well. Since then, I’ve babysat and nannied for 14 years and have cared for as many as five children at once, ranging from newborns to teens. I especially love babies and am very confident with infant care, routines, feeding, soothing, and creating a calm, safe environment. I’ve been CPR and First Aid certified twice, including for infants. I’m warm, responsible, patient, highly attentive, and very safety-conscious. I’m also comfortable caring for children with allergies, illness, or injuries, and bring a calm, compassionate presence. Beyond childcare, I’ve cared for three grandparents (one paralyzed), including end-of-life care, which deepened my patience, gentleness, and reliability. I’ve also had dogs all my life and have lived with and cared for cats, so I’m very comfortable with pet care too. I’m a nurturing, trustworthy caregiver who genuinely loves caring for children, seniors, and animals.

Madessa $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Madessa. I'm a loving and gentle caregiver with a true passion for working with children. I've spent one wonderful year as a preschool teacher and two years as a child caregiver. I have taken Early Childhood Education courses at CCSF. The children I've worked with always hold a special place in my heart. I'm so lucky that many families from my preschool days still keep in touch and ask me to babysit. I'm calm, patient and tuned in to each child's needs. Safety and trust are very important to me. I always bring a kind, attentive and responsible presence into the home. I'm also happy to help with light housekeeping to keep things running smoothly. I truly love what I do and I look forward to meeting your little one :)

Kali was so friendly and our son thought she was nice too! She’s been a big help and we look forward to booking her in the future.

Lauryn $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Lauryn and I recently graduated from Arizona State University with 2 Bachelor degrees in Psychology and Criminal Justice! While being a student at ASU I was a full time nanny for child for 2 years. I watched him grow and develop from 2 months old all the way to 2 years old! When I had free time on the weekends I often would watch other children as well, and build close bonds with them. In my free time I enjoy doing hot yoga, watching reality TV, and hanging out with friends! I’m also CPR certified!

"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)."
