Adriana $28 per hour for 1 child

I’m a dependable, patient, and safety-focused caregiver with experience working with young children in TK and kindergarten programs. I enjoy creating structured and engaging environments where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn through play. My experience includes supervising groups of children, leading outdoor and creative activities, helping with routines, and supporting early learning. I also have experience working with children with different learning styles, including those in special education settings, which has helped me develop strong patience, adaptability, and communication skills. I focus on meeting each child where they are and creating a positive, supportive environment for them to thrive. In addition to my childcare experience, I have a background in safety-focused work and LE/public safety training, which helps me stay calm, organized, and attentive in unexpected situations. Families often appreciate that I bring both warmth and professionalism into caregiving. I’m happy to help with activities, homework, outdoor play, meals, bedtime routines, and keeping things organized while making sure children are safe and having fun.

Ana $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello everyone! My name is Ana, and I am 42 years old. I am currently looking for a nanny position. I am a mother of two children, one is 12 years old and the other is 2 years old. In addition, I have experience caring for infants and toddlers. I truly enjoy being around children, spending time with them, and supervising them as they play, learn, and grow. Being a mother myself has helped me become very familiar with the routines, habits, and needs of toddlers and young children. I have a valid driver’s license and experience safely driving children while following all necessary precautions. I also enjoy cooking and light cleaning. Thank you for your time!

Lisa $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi I’m Lisa! I haven’t had a lot of child care experience, but I am responsible, nurturing, and intuitive with kids. I’m a crafty person and would love to engage kids with art and crafts if it permits! I also love animals. I enjoy hikes so I can easily take care of dogs. I have two cats of my own so I am also great with cats. Cleaning, laundry, cooking, and other household tasks are not a problem. Please feel free to ask me any questions.

I'm Michaela. I am a mother of 4. I have 3 boys and just welcomed my first girl in September! I opened my own in home daycare in 2020 but closed to focus on baby girl. I’d love to find a family that would allow me to bring her along. I genuinely love working with children. My experience ranges from newborns to teenagers. I've even cared for children with special needs and multiples. I’ve seen and done it all!

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*

"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)."
