Sarah $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm a Bay Area native with 7+ years of childcare experience and a strong background in both caregiving and healthcare. I nannied for a family for 2 years (ages 4 and twin 7-year-olds) and have cared for children ages 2-13 since high school. I also spent 3 summers running a camp at a country club, where I created daily activities, managed staff, and supervised 25+ children at a time, as well as teaching swim lessons. I'm CPR certified and a certified medical assistant (MA), and I currently volunteer at a hospital twice a week. I'll be starting my Master's in Nursing this fall after graduating from UCLA with a degree in Psychology. I'm responsible, patient, and attentive, and I take pride in creating a calm, structured, and engaging environment where children feel supported, safe, and genuinely enjoy their time.

Hey Families! I'm Lu, I’m Colombian. I started working with kids on 2019 as an Au Pair for a family in Orinda. A little bit about me: - I started working with kids when I was 20 years old for a non-profit (TECHO) in my home country. - I'm a loving person with kids. My goal is making them feel comfortable, safe and happy with me. - The last six years working with kids different ages have brought me the experience to help kids to manage their emotions. - My husband and I love dogs (specially poodles) and pet sit during our time off. - I like to read. - I'm passionate about Design and Organization. - I’m a Spanish teacher in Lamorinda. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope we can meet soon. *I’m new looking for a job here but I can share with you my recommendations*

Alsu $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi - my name is Ally, and I studied education at university, giving me a strong foundation in child development and age-appropriate learning. I love working with kids and have cared for three toddlers at once, keeping them engaged, safe, and having fun throughout the day. I’m patient, attentive, and great at turning everyday moments into hands-on learning opportunities. I’m also bilingual in English and Russian, so I can bring some language exposure into playtime if that’s ever useful for a family. Families can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and genuinely invested in their child’s wellbeing.

"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)."
