Hi! My name is Eduarda but you can call me Duda. I’m 27yo, speak Portuguese and English and I am offering child care, pet care and household services. I’m currently living in Mountain View and looking for a new full time contract around the peninsula starting September 14th. I love kids and I’ve been babysitting since I was 14 years old. I’m experienced with all ages 0-15yo. But I’m currently taking care of a 20months girl during the week since she was 7monhts. My responsibilities with the families I’ve worked included driving to/from school and extra activities, crafts, meals, bottles, diapers, walks, playground, overnights, date nights. I love animals, I had 2 large dogs and 1 cat and I’m available to help with walks, feeding and even overnights so your pet doesn’t have to be alone during the night. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean and run errands. I’m comfortable with senior care and can cook, drive to appointments and/or do other tasks

“Eduarda has cared for my two children on multiple occasions. She is a patient and skilled caretaker that understands the needs of both infants and toddlers. My kids love her. She asks thoughtful questions, has fantastic instincts, and is incredibly prompt and thorough.”

Booked by 9 families in Atherton, CA

I am a former preschool teacher, currently turned nanny, with 20 years of experience working with children. I am a fun, loving person and offer more than the typical babysitter as I focus on supporting the overall development of children I work with. My experience ranges from birth to adulthod, including children with special needs, as I hold a certificate of specialization in special needs education and have several years of experience working with diverse abilities. I have two children of my own; a 23 year old son and a 27 year old daughter who graduated from Stanford. I am a native Spanish speaker, CPR certified, and a registered sitter with Trustline for added peace of mind of families. Note: if your child is sick or anyone in your household, please let me know, so we can discuss the risk. I don’t offer cleaning or cooking services.

Hello parents! My name is Sally, and I’m a mom of three. I used to be active on this platform a few years ago, and I’m excited to be back! I’m CPR certified and have been babysitting for over 10 years — everything from newborns to teenagers, including experience in a childcare center. Over the years, I’ve helped with school drop-offs and pick-ups, meal prep, park outings, and running errands. I have my own car, a valid driver’s license, and I’m a very safe and reliable driver. If you have any questions or would like to chat, feel free to send me a message. I’d love to get to know your family! Best, Sally

"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)."
