Shanelle $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Shanelle, and I have been working in Early Head Start for the past four years. During this time, I have gained hands-on experience working with children from infancy through five years old. I am currently pursuing my Associate’s degree in Early Childhood Education, and I am deeply passionate about supporting children’s growth and development during their early years. I genuinely enjoy working with children and helping nurture their curiosity, confidence, and love for learning. Watching children learn, explore, and thrive brings me so much joy and motivates me every day. I am CPR certified and hold a Child Development Associate (CDA) teaching permit through ctc.ca.gov.

Saidi $30 per hour for 1 child

I have a strong background in caring for children and supporting seniors with patience, compassion, and respect. As a mother, I have hands-on experience caring for my child, understanding children’s needs, creating a safe environment, and supporting their emotional and educational development. I have also helped care for my elderly family member, which taught me the importance of kindness, attention, and dignity when assisting seniors. My qualifications include experience in hospitality, customer service, and working with people from different backgrounds. These experiences helped me develop strong communication skills, responsibility, organization, and the ability to stay calm in different situations. My personality traits that make me a great caregiver are being caring, patient, reliable, trustworthy, and a good listener. I pay attention to details and I always try to make people feel comfortable, respected, and valued. My talents include connecting easily with people, providing emotional support, helping with daily needs, and creating a positive and safe atmosphere. I believe caregiving is more than just helping someone—it is about building trust, showing compassion, and making a meaningful difference in someone’s life.

Jade $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Berkeley, CA

Hi! My name is Jade, I’m 26 years old, and I’m a full-time nanny with 8 years of experience. I recently relocated from San Francisco to Dallas and am excited to find a wonderful new family to work with! Over the years, I’ve worked with five different families, all of whom I’ve built strong, lasting relationships with. I truly value becoming part of the families I work for—I’ve celebrated birthdays, holidays, and milestones with them, and I’m still very close with each one. I have experience caring for children ranging from 3 months to 7 years old, with a strong background in infant care. I’m confident in maintaining routines, and creating a safe, nurturing, learning environment. I grew up in San Diego with my two younger sisters, and I played a big role in helping raise them. That early experience sparked my love for childcare and led me to pursue nannying as a full-time career. I genuinely love what I do and look forward to becoming a mom someday, which is why caring for children is so meaningful to me. I’m currently available Monday through Friday and am seeking a full-time position. I have a valid driver’s license and my own car. I’m also happy to assist with light household tasks such as children’s laundry, dishes, tidying, and errands like grocery shopping. I have a strong resume and excellent references available upon request. I’d love to connect, please feel free to reach out! I’m happy to schedule a FaceTime or Zoom to chat more. Thank you so much!

"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)."
