Hello! My name is Naomi! I’m an energetic, loving, fun, easygoing person. I have over 5 years of experience in child care and I strive to provide safe nurturing and fun care for families while also helping with their development. I've worked in an early preschool setting as well as with babies. I'm currently continuing my degree in Early Childhood Education. Ive learned so much in my child development courses and love to incorporate some of those lessons and techniques into my care. I love having fun, being safe and making sure the parents are informed on their child's care.

Booked by 1 family in Atherton, CA

Hi! My name is Antonia. I have 10 years of nanny experience and recently graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing. I also have experience caring for elderly adults, which has helped me develop a compassionate, patient, and attentive approach to caregiving. I’ve volunteered in a preschool Spanish immersion classroom where I helped children with activities such as science, writing, and reading. I also volunteered for three years at at a Children’s Hospital assisting with newborn hearing screening program. I enjoy cooking, reading, and spending time outdoors. I’m very attentive, caring, and detail-oriented, which helps me provide thoughtful and safe care.

“Antonia was awesome with my 11 year old. She also handled my dog well who’s not used to strangers in the house. She’s like a big sister/cool aunt and my kid enjoyed hanging out with her a lot. Looking forward to more date nights with my wife knowing that Antonia is such a great fit for our family!”

Alma $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi I have worked with children in the preschool setting and day care centers for 7-9 years with ECE units and CCTC permits in Redwood City. Also I have a BA in Education and Education units from Notre Dame in Belmont. Currently, I am a Guest Teacher for the Redwood City School D. and I am going on my 6th year with the district. I enjoy working with school age children as they can express what they are learning and ask so many questions around their learning. I love and learn from other Teachers and Trainings that the school offers as it keeps me growing in the Ed. Field. I am caring and dedicated to what is my passion and working around children. I am bilingual in Spanish as well with references. Looking forward in meeting new families in the Redwood City area.

"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."

"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)."
