Aliche $25 per hour for 1 child

Hey! Im Aliché, a 28 yr old Bay Area raised Cali girl. I’m from Alameda, a twin and the eldest of 3 siblings. I have over 7 years of experience nannying, and overall childcare through Care.com after school programs and family referrals. I’m new to UrbanSitters but very seasoned on Care.com. I was a Youth development leader for an afterschool program working with grades 2nd- 8th grade. A daycare teacher years prior with a full classroom of 3-5 year olds with many different personalities. I’m very patient, attentive and overall someone that you can trust to have your child’s happiness and safety as my first priority. I have plenty of experience with infants through the same day care, Care.com, and family members as well. I like active play time, whether that be indoors and/or outdoors. My motto is positive reinforcement when needed, compassion always and genuine integrity. Any child in my space will be loved, protected and treated no differently than I would with the children I adore dearly in my family. I love extending my warmth to the babies. My services come with assistance with laundry, light cooking, errands, and doctor appointments. I’m not allergic to any pets or worried to work around them.

Hello, My name is Violeta, I am from El Salvador and I have been living in the country for ten years. I love children, when I came to this country.In this time I have gained experience in baby care from days to two years old. Unfortunately at two years old they started school and my work ended. I consider myself a very patient, loving, honest, responsible person and especially willing to perform a magnificent job. I am a mother of three children and I know perfectly how valuable they are to us as parents that our children are always well. I do not speak English but, I understand a little and I consider that I can understand and meet every need that children need please if you want and you think so, I will be infinitely grateful for the opportunity they give me and for the security they will have no doubt about me work. I am available, with schedules that fit your needs and with the desire to start immediately. Thank you 🥰

Margaret 2 reviews
$26 per hour for 1 child

i was born in San francisco and have lived most of my life in the Bay Area. i have been a nanny for 16 years and can’t think of doing anything else. the first part of my nanny career was with specific families. although after covid i started working with Care.com as a temporary nanny. the ages range from 6 mos to teenage years. i love doing projects with my kids from puzzles to baking cookies. i’m easy going and kid’s generally gravitate towards me

“Margaret is absolutely amazing. We have welcomed Margaret over 15x into our home to watch our daughter. She did such a great job engaging with our toddler, often we’d come home to find them together reading on the floor together or playing with toys. Margaret is extremely professional and we never had any issues. It is great to have someone reliable that we trust in our home. Our daughter is always excited to see Margaret!”

Kahari $15 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated and compassionate college student pursuing a degree in Public Health, with hands-on experience caring for individuals across all stages of life, including children, adults, seniors, pets, and households. My background in the health field has given me both the technical skills and emotional awareness needed to provide safe, reliable, and empathetic care. I understand that caregiving is not just about completing tasks, but about building trust, showing patience, and creating a supportive environment where others feel valued and respected. My caregiving journey began shortly after graduating high school, when I worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) in a nursing home. In this role, I provided direct care to seniors, assisting with daily living activities, mobility, personal hygiene, and emotional support. This experience taught me responsibility, professionalism, and the importance of dignity and compassion in caregiving. Working closely with seniors helped me develop strong communication skills and an understanding of the physical, emotional, and social challenges that can come with aging. In addition to senior care, I have extensive experience working with children. I currently teach and supervise summer camps for children ages 3 to 16, where I am responsible for creating a safe, engaging, and inclusive environment. Through this work, I have developed strong skills in leadership, patience, creativity, and conflict resolution. I enjoy supporting children’s growth, encouraging learning through play, and helping them feel confident and cared for. My ability to adapt to different age groups allows me to meet each child’s unique needs while maintaining structure and fun. I am also a genuine animal lover and feel very comfortable caring for pets. I understand that pets are family members, and I approach pet care with the same responsibility, patience, and affection that I bring to human caregiving. I enjoy spending time with furry friends, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I love reptiles as well I have a crested geico! Personality-wise, I am a caring, positive, and approachable individual who enjoys helping others. I love to laugh, connect with people, and bring warmth into the spaces I work in. I understand that life comes with challenges, and my experiences have taught me empathy, resilience, and gratitude. I am thankful for where I am today and motivated to give back through meaningful work that supports others.

"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)."
