Karoline $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Karol. I’m originally from Brazil and I’m a caring, responsible, and attentive nanny with experience caring for babies, toddlers, and school-age children. I have a degree in Human Relations from Brazil and a background in Psychology studies. Next year, I will be continuing my Psychology studies at Foothill College. Because of my school schedule, I’m looking for a live-in or full-time position with a family that values clear communication and consistency. My classes are usually in the morning (around 9 a.m. to 12 or 1 p.m.), which allows me to be mostly available in the afternoons, evenings, and some weekends. I enjoy creating a safe, organized, and nurturing environment. I love engaging children in activities such as reading, arts and crafts, creative play, outdoor activities, and structured daily routines. I’m CPR trained and always focused on children’s safety and well-being. I’m reliable, patient, and communicative, and I truly enjoy supporting families by providing calm and loving care.

Sophia $32 per hour for 1 child

Hello, families! My name is Sophia, and I’m a 28-year-old Bay Area native with a genuine love for caring for children of all ages. I truly believe that being a nanny means becoming an extension of your family. Building a trusting, lasting relationship with both parents and children is incredibly important to me, and your family’s comfort, peace of mind, and your child’s safety will always be my top priorities. I have extensive experience caring for children ranging from newborns and infants to toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children through middle school. Outside of my professional experience, I’m also a big sister to an 11-year-old boy, a godmother to a toddler from a family I previously worked with, and the eldest cousin of 25! Previously, I worked as a full-time nanny for two boys, caring for them from 3 months to 2 years old and from 1 to 3 years old, respectively. I’ve continued to provide occasional care for the family, including overnight stays and vacations. Since then, I’ve also worked part-time as a nanny for a baby girl. My experience includes infant feeding, wake windows and nap schedules, safe sleep practices, developmental milestones, teething, sleep regressions, introducing solids, school transitions, school pickups and drop-offs, light household chores, and planning engaging, age-appropriate activities. I especially love incorporating Montessori-inspired learning, sensory-rich play, and hands-on activities that encourage curiosity, independence, and creativity. I enjoy preparing healthy, delicious meals and snacks, teaching new skills, exploring the world through play, and creating a nurturing environment where children feel safe, supported, and free to be kids. Above all, I value forming genuine bonds with the families I work with and creating a positive, dependable presence in your child’s life. A few extra things about me: I have experience working with children with specific special needs (happy to elaborate on that as needed). Outside of that I have a reliable SUV with no prior accident history, and I absolutely love animals, so I’m happy to help with pet care as needed! I’d love to connect, learn more about your family, and see how I might be a good fit. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to request references. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones! ♡

"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)."
