Hi families! I’m Auly, a responsible and caring nanny with 4 years of childcare experience. I currently work at a daycare, where I’ve been supporting children’s development through structured activities, play, and daily routines. I am CPR certified and trained in Child Abuse and Neglect Mandated Reporting. I also have a valid driver’s license with a clean record and can assist with transportation if needed. Spanish is my first language, and I’m currently taking English classes, which allows me to support bilingual families.

Mariana $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Atherton, CA

Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic nanny with over 6 years of experience caring for children from newborns to 10 years old. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to work with different families and become part of their daily routines. I enjoy creating a safe, loving, and fun environment where children can learn, explore, and feel comfortable being themselves. I’m also bilingual in English and Spanish, and I love introducing Spanish naturally through everyday activities, playtime, and conversation. I believe every child is different, so I always try to understand their personality, needs, and interests. Building a good connection with both children and parents is something I really value. As a nanny, I believe in teamwork and treating each other with respect. I truly enjoy what I do, and I would love to become a positive and reliable part of your family’s everyday life!

Booked by 1 family in Atherton, CA

Hello! My name is Brisa. I’m a caring, patient, and dependable childcare provider with years of hands-on experience working with children of different ages. I specialize in working with children with special needs, particularly children with autism. I have experience supporting children ages 3 to 5, helping them develop communication, social, and daily living skills while using positive behavior strategies. I also have personal experience caring for my younger brother, which sparked my passion for working with children. I’ve been babysitting since I was 12 years old, caring for my brother and other children over the years. In addition, I’ll soon be starting a part-time position as an afterschool teacher, where I’ll continue creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for children to learn and grow. I enjoy keeping children engaged through arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, educational activities, games, and creative learning experiences.

"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)."
