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!

​Hi there! I’m a dedicated sitter with over a decade of experience caring for children of all ages. My goal is to make sure your kids are not only safe and supervised but also inspired. I specialize in bringing out children’s inner artists through painting sessions and original creative games that keep them off their screens.

Hello! My name is Melanie, I am located in San Francisco's mission bay neighborhood. With 2+ years of experience, I am looking for a new family to join! I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for children to thrive. As a childcare provider, my passion lies in nurturing the growth and development of young minds. My patient and approachable nature allows me to build strong relationships with both children and families, ensuring open communication about their child's day and any concerns that may arise. I am CPR certified, fluent in both English and Spanish.

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

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)."
